Epeak estimator for Gamma-Ray Bursts Observed by the Swift Burst Alert Telescope
T. Sakamoto, G. Sato, L. Barbier +13
We report a correlation based on a spectral simulation study of the prompt emission spectra of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) detected by the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT). The correl…
GRB 060607A: A GRB with Bright Asynchronous Early -ray and Optical Emissions
Houri Ziaeepour, Stephen T. Holland, Patricia T. Boyd +8
The early optical emission of the moderately high redshift () GRB 060607A shows a remarkable broad and strong peak with a rapid rise and a relatively slow power-law decay.…
Discovery of the accretion-powered millisecond pulsar SWIFT J1756.9-2508 with a low-mass companion
H. A. Krimm, C. B. Markwardt, C. J. Deloye +10
We report on the discovery by the Swift Gamma-Ray Burst Explorer of the eighth known transient accretion-powered millisecond pulsar, SWIFT J1756.9-2508, as part of routine observat…
Panchromatic study of GRB 060124: from precursor to afterglow
P. Romano, S. Campana, G. Chincarini +35
We present observations of GRB 060124, the first event for which both the prompt and the afterglow emission could be observed simultaneously and in their entirety by the three Swif…
Swift and XMM-Newton Observations of the Extraordinary GRB 060729: An afterglow with a more than 100 days X-ray light curve
Dirk Grupe, Caryl Gronwall, Xiang-Yu Wang +8
We report the results of the Swift and XMM observations of the Swift-discovered long Gamma-Ray Burst GRB 060729 (=115s). The afterglow of this burst was exceptionally brigh…
Nonthermal Hard X-ray Emission and Iron Kalpha Emission from a Superflare on II Pegasi
R. A. Osten, S. Drake, J. Tueller +4
We report on an X-ray flare detected on the active binary system II~Pegasi with the Swift telescope. The trigger had a 10-200 keV luminosity of 2.2 erg s-- a…
