Late-Time Optical Afterglow Observations with LBT and MDM
X. Dai, K. Z. Stanek, P. M. Garnavich
Using the 2.4m MDM and 8.4m Large Binocular Telescope, we observed nine GRB afterglows to systematically probe the late time behaviors of afterglows including jet breaks, flares, a…
POET: POlarimeters for Energetic Transients
J. E. Hill, M. L. McConnell, P. Bloser +15
POET (Polarimeters for Energetic Transients) is a Small Explorer mission concept proposed to NASA in January 2008. The principal scientific goal of POET is to measure GRB polarizat…
Correlative Spectral Analysis of Gamma-Ray Bursts using Swift-BAT and GLAST-GBM
Michael Stamatikos, Takanori Sakamoto, David L. Band
We discuss the preliminary results of spectral analysis simulations involving anticipated correlated multi-wavelength observations of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) using Swift's Burst Al…
A Correlation of Spectral Lag Evolution with Prompt Optical Emission in GRBs?
Michael Stamatikos, Tilan N. Ukwatta, Takanori Sakamoto +1
We report on observations of correlated behavior between the prompt gamma-ray and optical emission from GRB 080319B, which (i) strongly suggest that they occurred within the same a…
Flares in Gamma Ray Bursts
G. Chincarini, J. Mao, F. Pasotti +4
The flare activity that is observed in GRBs soon after the prompt emission with the XRT (0.3-10 KeV) instrument on board of the Swift satellite is leading to important clues in rel…
Rebound Shock Breakouts of Exploding Massive Stars: A MHD Void Model
Ren-Yu Hu, Yu-Qing Lou
With a self-similar magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) model of an exploding progenitor star and an outgoing rebound shock and with the thermal bremsstrahlung as the major radiation mechani…
