A bright gamma-ray flare interpreted as a giant magnetar flare in NGC 253
D. Svinkin, D. Frederiks, K. Hurley +33
Magnetars are young, highly magnetized neutron stars that produce extremely rare giant flares of gamma-rays, the most luminous astrophysical phenomena in our Galaxy. The detection…
Pluto's Ultraviolet Spectrum, Surface Reflectance, and Airglow Emissions
Andrew J. Steffl, Leslie A. Young, Darrell F. Strobel +16
During the New Horizons spacecraft's encounter with Pluto, the Alice ultraviolet spectrograph conducted a series of observations that detected emissions from both the interplanetar…
The Third Swift Burst Alert Telescope Gamma-Ray Burst Catalog
Amy Lien, Takanori Sakamoto, Scott D. Barthelmy +12
To date, the Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) onboard Swift has detected ~ 1000 gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), of which ~ 360 GRBs have redshift measurements, ranging from z = 0.03 to z = 9.3…
GRB 130925A: an ultra-long Gamma Ray Burst with a dust-echo afterglow, and implications for the origin of the ultra-long GRBs
P. A. Evans, R. Willingale, J. P. Osborne +24
GRB 130925A was an unusual GRB, consisting of 3 distinct episodes of high-energy emission spanning 20 ks, making it a member of the proposed category of `ultra-long' bursts.…
Simultaneous optical/gamma-ray observations of GRB 121217's prompt emission
J. Elliott, H. -F. Yu, S. Schmidl +20
Since the advent of the Swift satellite it has been possible to obtain precise localisations of GRB positions of sub-arcsec accuracy within seconds, facilitating ground-based robot…
GRB 080407: an ultra-long burst discovered by the IPN
V. Pal'shin, K. Hurley, J. Goldsten +25
We present observations of the extremely long GRB 080704 obtained with the instruments of the Interplanetary Network (IPN). The observations reveal two distinct emission episodes,…
