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…
GRB 050505: A high redshift burst discovered by Swift
C. P. Hurkett, J. P. Osborne, K. L. Page +18
We report the discovery and subsequent multi-wavelength afterglow behaviour of the high redshift (z = 4.27) Gamma Ray Burst GRB 050505. This burst is the third most distant burst,…
