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…

Swift Observations of GRB 050603: An afterglow with a steep late time decay slope

Dirk Grupe, Peter Brown, Jay Cummings +16

We report the results of Swift observations of the Gamma Ray Burst GRB 050603. With a V magnitude V=18.2 about 10 hours after the burst the optical afterglow was the brightest so f…

The X-ray afterglow of the short gamma ray burst 050724

S. Campana, G. Tagliaferri, D. Lazzati +23

Short duration (<2 s) Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have been a mystery since their discovery. Until May 2005 very little was known about short GRBs, but this situation has changed rapid…

The shock break-out of GRB 060218/SN 2006aj

S. Campana, V. Mangano, A. J. Blustin +36

Although the link between long Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) and supernovae (SNe) has been established, hitherto there have been no observations of the beginning of a supernova explosion…
