Time-evolution of Peak Energy and Luminosity Relation within Pulses for GRB 061007: Probing Fireball Dynamics

Masanori Ohno, Kunihito Ioka, Kazutaka Yamaoka +3

We perform a time-resolved spectral analysis of bright, long Gamma-ray burst GRB 061007 using Suzaku/WAM and Swift/BAT. Thanks to the large effective area of the WAM, we can invest…

Suzaku Observations of SGR 1900+14 and SGR 1806-20

Yujin E. Nakagawa, Tatehiro Mihara, Atsumasa Yoshida +8

Spectral and timing studies of Suzaku ToO observations of two SGRs, 1900+14 and 1806-20, are presented. The X-ray quiescent emission spectra were well fitted by a two blackbody fun…

The Swift Discovery of X-ray Afterglows Accompanying Short Bursts from SGR 1900+14

Y. E. Nakagawa, T. Sakamoto, G. Sato +3

The discovery of X-ray afterglows accompanying two short bursts from SGR 1900+14 is presented. The afterglow luminosities at the end of each observation are lower by 30-50% than th…

Status of GRB Observations with the Suzaku Wideband All-sky Monitor

M. S. Tashiro, Y. Terada, Y. Urata +28

The Wide-band All-sky Monitor (WAM) is a function of the large lateral BGO shield of the Hard X-ray Detector (HXD) onboard Suzaku. Its large geometrical area of 800 cm^2 per side,…

Multiple Component Analysis of Time Resolved Spectra of GRB041006: A Clue to the Nature of Underlying Soft Component of GRBs

Yuji Shirasaki, Atsumasa Yoshida, Nobuyuki Kawai +30

GRB 041006 was detected by HETE-2 at 12:18:08 UT on 06 October 2004. This GRB displays a soft X-ray emission, a precursor before the onset of the main event, and also a soft X-ray…
