Gamma-Ray Burst Pulses and Lateral Jet Motion
Jon Hakkila, Geoffrey N. Pendleton, Robert D. Preece +1
We propose that gamma-ray burst pulses are produced when highly-relativistic jets sweep across an observer's line-of-sight. We hypothesize that axisymmetric jet profiles, coupled w…
Modeling GRB 170202A fireball from continuous observations with the Zadko and the Virgin Island Robotic Telescopes
B. Gendre, N. B. Orange, E. Moore +5
We present coordinated observations of GRB 170202A carried out by the Zadko and the Virgin Island Robotic Telescopes. The observations started 59s after the event trigger, and prov…
From a computer controlled telescope to a robotic observatory: the history of the VIRT
Bruce Gendre, N. Brice Orange, David C. Morris +4
The Virgin Island Robotic Telescope is located at the Etelman Observatory, St Thomas, since 2002. We will present its evolution since that date with the changes we have performed i…
Follow up of GW170817 and its electromagnetic counterpart by Australian-led observing programs
I. Andreoni, K. Ackley, J. Cooke +122
The discovery of the first electromagnetic counterpart to a gravitational wave signal has generated follow-up observations by over 50 facilities world-wide, ushering in the new era…
Swift Observations of Gamma-Ray Burst Pulse Shapes: GRB Pulse Spectral Evolution Clarified
Jon Hakkila, Amy Lien, Takanori Sakamoto +3
Isolated Swift gamma-ray burst (GRB) pulses, like their higher-energy BATSE counterparts, emit the bulk of their pulsed emission as a hard-to-soft component that can be fitted by t…
Gamma-Ray Burst Pulse Correlations as Redshift Indicators
Jon Hakkila, P. Chris Fragile, Timothy W. Giblin
Correlations among pulse properties in the prompt emission of long GRBs can potentially be used as cosmological distance indicators to estimate redshifts of GRBs to which these pul…
