Modelling the spectral response of the Swift-XRT CCD camera: Experience learnt from in-flight calibration
O. Godet, A. P. Beardmore, A. F. Abbey +11
(Abbreviated) We show that the XRT spectral response calibration was complicated by various energy offsets in photon counting (PC) and windowed timing (WT) modes related to the way…
Accurate early positions for Swift GRBS: enhancing X-ray positions with UVOT astrometry
M. R. Goad, L. G. Tyler, A. P. Beardmore +15
Here we describe an autonomous way of producing more accurate prompt XRT positions for Swift-detected GRBs and their afterglows, based on UVOT astrometry and a detailed mapping bet…
An online repository of Swift/XRT light curves of GRBs
P. A. Evans, A. P. Beardmore, K. L. Page +12
Context. Swift data are revolutionising our understanding of Gamma Ray Bursts. Since bursts fade rapidly, it is desirable to create and disseminate accurate light curves rapidly. A…
Swift multi-wavelength observations of the bright flaring burst GRB051117A
M. R. Goad, K. L. Page, O. Godet +13
We report on the temporal and spectral characteristics of the early X-ray emission from the Gamma Ray Burst 051117A as observed by Swift. The superb quality of the early X-ray ligh…
