The Cross-Calibration of Swift-BAT and Fermi-GBM via Correlative Spectral Analysis of GRBs
Michael Stamatikos
We report on recent inter-calibration studies featuring Swift's Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) and Fermi's Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) based upon correlated observations of GRBs 080…
GRB Astrophysics in the Swift Era and Beyond
Michael Stamatikos
Gamma-ray Bursts (GRBs) are relativistic cosmological beacons of transient high energy radiation whose afterglows span the electromagnetic spectrum. Theoretical expectations of cor…
Multi-Messenger Astronomy with GRBs: A White Paper for the Astro2010 Decadal Survey
Michael Stamatikos, Neil Gehrels, Francis Halzen +2
Gamma-ray Bursts (GRBs) are relativistic cosmological beacons of transient high energy radiation whose afterglows span the electromagnetic spectrum. Theoretical expectations of cor…
The Correlation of Spectral Lag Evolution with Prompt Optical Emission in GRB 080319B
Michael Stamatikos, Tilan N. Ukwatta, Takanori Sakamoto +8
We report on observations of correlated behavior between the prompt gamma-ray and optical emission from GRB 080319B, which confirm that (i) they occurred within the same astrophysi…
Investigating the Possibility of Screening High-z GRBs based on BAT Prompt Emission Properties
T. N. Ukwatta, T. Sakamoto, K. S. Dhuga +5
Being able to quickly select among gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) seen by the Swift satellite those which are high-z candidates would give ground-based observers a better chance to determ…
