Magnetar spin-down glitch clearing the way for FRB-like bursts and a pulsed radio episode

G. Younes, M. G. Baring, A. K. Harding +16

Magnetars are a special subset of the isolated neutron star family, with X-ray and radio emission mainly powered by the decay of their immense magnetic fields. Many attributes of m…

Rapid Spectral Variability of a Giant Flare from a Magnetar in NGC 253

O. J. Roberts, P. Veres, M. G. Baring +18

Magnetars are slowly-rotating neutron stars with extremely strong magnetic fields ( G), episodically emitting ms long X-ray bursts with energies of $\sim10^{4…

The Five Year Fermi/GBM Magnetar Burst Catalog

A. C. Collazzi, C. Kouveliotou, A. J. van der Horst +18

Since launch in 2008, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) has detected many hundreds of bursts from magnetar sources. While the vast majority of these bursts have been attribut…

Multiwavelength observations of GRB 110731A: GeV emission from onset to afterglow

LAT Collaboration, GBM Collaboration, Swift Collaboration +2

We report on the multiwavelength observations of the bright, long gamma-ray burst \GRB, by the \Fermi and \Swift observatories, and by the MOA and GROND optical telescopes. The ana…

Ground-based calibration and characterization of the Fermi Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor Detectors

Elisabetta Bissaldi, Andreas von Kienlin, Giselher G. Lichti +18

One of the scientific objectives of NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope is the study of Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs). The Fermi Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor (GBM) was designed to detect a…

Gamma-Ray Burst Afterglows as Probes of Environment and Blastwave Physics II: the Distribution of p and Structure of the Circumburst Medium

R. L. C. Starling, A. J. van der Horst, E. Rol +5

We constrain blastwave parameters and the circumburst media of a subsample of ten BeppoSAX Gamma-Ray Bursts. For this sample we derive the values of the injected electron energy di…
