Modelling the spectral response of the Swift-XRT CCD camera: Experience learnt from in-flight calibration
O. Godet, A. P. Beardmore, A. F. Abbey +11
(Abbreviated) We show that the XRT spectral response calibration was complicated by various energy offsets in photon counting (PC) and windowed timing (WT) modes related to the way…
The in-flight spectroscopic performance of the Swift XRT CCD camera during 2006-2007
O. Godet, A. P. Beardmore, A. F. Abbey +26
The Swift X-ray Telescope focal plane camera is a front-illuminated MOS CCD, providing a spectral response kernel of 135 eV FWHM at 5.9 keV as measured before launch. We describe t…
A refined position catalog of the Swift XRT afterglows
A. Moretti, M. Perri, M. Capalbi +22
We present a catalogue of refined positions of 68 gamma ray burst (GRB) afterglows observed by the Swift X-ray Telescope (XRT) from the launch up to 2005 Oct 16. This is a result o…
Swift XRT and VLT Observations of the Afterglow of GRB 041223
David N. Burrows, Joanne E. Hill, Guido Chincarini +30
The Swift Gamma-Ray Burst Explorer, launched on 2004 November 20, is a multiwavelength, autonomous, rapid-slewing observatory for gamma-ray burst (GRB) astronomy. On 2004 December…
