Magnetar Fireballs and Short Bursts: Curved Spacetime Lensing, QED Effects, Spectra, Polarization, and Impulse Responses
Zorawar Wadiasingh, Hoa Dinh Thi, Constantinos Kalapotharakos +13
Magnetar short bursts (SBs) are hard X-ray transients of durations s peaking at keV, and are prime targets for new high-energy missions and polarimeters. The…
Localization and Confidence Region Estimation of Short GRBs with the COSI BGO Shield Using a HEALPix-Based Deep Learning Approach
N. Parmiggiani, A. Bulgarelli, G. Panebianco +17
The Compton Spectrometer and Imager is a NASA satellite mission under development that will survey the entire sky in the 0.2-5 MeV range using a wide-field germanium detector array…
Fermi-GBM Observations of GRB 230307A: An Exceptionally Bright Long-Duration Gamma-ray Burst with an Associated Kilonova
S. Dalessi, P. Veres, C. M. Hui +22
On March 7th, 2023 the \textit{Fermi} Gamma-ray Burst Monitor observed the second highest fluence gamma-ray burst (GRB) ever, GRB~230307A. With a duration beyond 100~s, GRB~230307A…
Direct evidence for r-process nucleosynthesis in delayed MeV emission from the SGR 1806-20 magnetar giant flare
Anirudh Patel, Brian D. Metzger, Jakub Cehula +3
The origin of heavy elements synthesized through the rapid neutron capture process (-process) has been an enduring mystery for over half a century. Cehula et al. (2024) recently…
Fermi-GBM Team Analysis on The Ravasio Line
Eric Burns, Stephen Lesage, Adam Goldstein +20
The prompt spectra of gamma-ray bursts are known to follow broadband continuum behavior over decades in energy. GRB 221009A, given the moniker the brightest of all time (BOAT), is…
GRB 221009A: the B.O.A.T Burst that Shines in Gamma Rays
M. Axelsson, M. Ajello, M. Arimoto +151
We present a complete analysis of Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) data of GRB 221009A, the brightest Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) ever detected. The burst emission above 30 MeV detected…
