The host of GRB/XRF 030528 - an actively star forming galaxy at z=0.782

A. Rau, M. Salvato, J. Greiner

An important parameter for the distinction of X-ray flashes, X-ray rich bursts and Gamma-ray bursts in the rest frame is the distance to the explosion site. Here we report on the s…

An exceptionally bright flare from SGR1806-20 and the origins of short-duration gamma-ray bursts

K. Hurley, S. E. Boggs, D. M. Smith +17

Soft-gamma-ray repeaters (SGRs) are galactic X-ray stars that emit numerous short-duration (about 0.1 s) bursts of hard X-rays during sporadic active periods. They are thought to b…

The Sample of Gamma-ray Bursts Observed With SPI-ACS

A. Rau, A. von Kienlin, K. Hurley +1

The SPI anticoincidence shield consists of 91 BGO crystals and is operated as a nearly omnidirectional gamma-ray burst detector above ~75 keV. Since the start of the mission 269 ga…

Discovery of the Faint Near-IR Afterglow of GRB 030528

A. Rau, J. Greiner, S. Klose +7

We report on the discovery of the near-IR transient of the long-duration gamma-ray burst GRB 030528 and its underlying host galaxy. The near-IR transient was first observed in JHKs…

The polarization evolution of the optical afterglow of GRB 030329

J. Greiner, S. Klose, K. Reinsch +23

We report 31 polarimetric observations of the afterglow of GRB 030329 with high signal-to-noise and high sampling frequency. The data imply that the afterglow magnetic field has sm…

Integral results on GRB030320: a long gamma-ray burst detected at the edge of the field of view

A. von Kienlin, V. Beckmann, S. Covino +9

GRB030320 is the 5th Gamma-ray burst (GRB) detected by INTEGRAL in the field of view (FoV). It is so far the GRB with the largest off-axis angle with respect to the INTEGRAL pointi…
