Discovery of the nearby long, soft GRB 100316D with an associated supernova

R. L. C. Starling, K. Wiersema, A. J. Levan +43

We report the Swift discovery of nearby long, soft gamma-ray burst GRB 100316D, and the subsequent unveiling of its low redshift host galaxy and associated supernova. We derive the…

Line Searches in Swift X-ray Spectra

C. P. Hurkett, S. Vaughan, J. P. Osborne +14

Prior to the launch of the Swift mission several X-ray line detections were reported in Gamma Ray Burst afterglow spectra. To date, these pre-Swift era results have not been conclu…

A case of mistaken identity? GRB 060912A and the nature of the long -- short GRB divide

A. J. Levan, P. Jakobsson, C. Hurkett +13

We investigate the origin of the GRB 060912A, which has observational properties that make its classification as either a long or short burst ambiguous. Short duration GRBs (SGRBs)…

The prompt to late-time multiwavelength analysis of GRB 060210

P. A. Curran, A. J. van der Horst, A. P. Beardmore +19

We present our analysis of the multiwavelength photometric & spectroscopic observations of GRB 060210 and discuss the results in the overall context of current GRB models. All avai…

The nature of the close magnetic white dwarf + probable brown dwarf binary SDSS J121209.31+013627.7

M. R. Burleigh, T. R. Marsh, B. T. Gansicke +16

Optical time series photometry of the short period magnetic white dwarf + probable brown dwarf binary SDSS 121209.31+013627.7 reveals pulse-like variability in all bands from i' to…

GRB 050717: A Long, Short-Lag, High Peak Energy Burst Observed by Swift and Konus

H. A. Krimm, C. Hurkett, V. Pal'shin +10

The long burst GRB 050717 was observed simultaneously by the Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) on Swift and the Konus instrument on Wind. Significant hard to soft spectral evolution was…
