A Proposal to Localize Fermi GBM GRBs Through Coordinated Scanning of the GBM Error Circle via Optical Telescopes

T. N. Ukwatta, J. T. Linnemann, K. Tollefson +4

We investigate the feasibility of implementing a system that will coordinate ground-based optical telescopes to cover the Fermi GBM Error Circle (EC). The aim of the system is to l…

Follow the BAT: Monitoring Swift BAT FoV for Prompt Optical Emission from Gamma-ray Bursts

T. N. Ukwatta, J. T. Linnemann, K. S. Dhuga +1

We investigate the feasibility of implementing a system called 'Follow the BAT' that will coordinate ground-based robotic optical and near infrared (NIR) telescopes to monitor the…

The Lag-Luminosity Relation in the GRB Source-Frame: An Investigation with Swift BAT Bursts

T. N. Ukwatta, K. S. Dhuga, M. Stamatikos +12

Spectral lag, which is defined as the difference in time of arrival of high and low energy photons, is a common feature in Gamma-ray Bursts (GRBs). Previous investigations have sho…

A Photometric Redshift of z ~ 9.4 for GRB 090429B

A. Cucchiara, A. J. Levan, D. B. Fox +33

Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) serve as powerful probes of the early Universe, with their luminous afterglows revealing the locations and physical properties of star forming galaxies at t…

The Second Swift BAT Gamma-Ray Burst Catalog

T. Sakamoto, S. D. Barthelmy, W. H. Baumgartner +12

We present the second Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) catalog of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), which contains 476 bursts detected by the BAT between 2004 December 19 and 2009 December…
