CXOM31 J004253.1+411422: The first ultra-luminous X-ray transient in M 31

A. Kaur, M. Henze, F. Haberl +6

We seek clarification of the nature of X-ray sources detected in M 31. Here we focus on CXOM31 J004253.1+411422, the brightness of which suggests that it belongs to the class of ul…

Swift J2058.4+0516: Discovery of a Possible Second Relativistic Tidal Disruption Flare?

S. Bradley Cenko, Hans A. Krimm, Assaf Horesh +18

We report the discovery by the Swift hard X-ray monitor of the transient source Swift J2058.4+0516 (Sw J2058+05). Our multi-wavelength follow-up campaign uncovered a long-lived (du…

On the nature of the extremely fast optical rebrightening of the afterglow of GRB 081029

M. Nardini, J. Greiner, T. Kruehler +14

Context. After the launch of the Swift satellite, the Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) optical light-curve smoothness paradigm has been questioned thanks to the faster and better sampled opti…

Rest-frame properties of 32 gamma-ray bursts observed by the Fermi Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor

D. Gruber, J. Greiner, A. von Kienlin +27

Aims: In this paper we study the main spectral and temporal properties of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) observed by Fermi/GBM. We investigate these key properties of GRBs in the rest-fra…

GRB 071028B, a burst behind large amounts of dust in an unabsorbed galaxy

C. Clemens, J. Greiner, T. Krühler +12

We report on the discovery and properties of the fading afterglow and underlying host galaxy of GRB 071028B, thereby facilitating a detailed comparison between these two. Observati…
