Epeak estimator for Gamma-Ray Bursts Observed by the Swift Burst Alert Telescope

T. Sakamoto, G. Sato, L. Barbier +13

We report a correlation based on a spectral simulation study of the prompt emission spectra of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) detected by the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT). The correl…

Global Properties of X-Ray Flashes and X-Ray-Rich Gamma-Ray Bursts Observed by Swift

T. Sakamoto, D. Hullinger, G. Sato +14

We describe and discuss the spectral and temporal characteristics of the prompt emission and X-ray afterglow emission of X-ray flashes (XRFs) and X-ray-rich gamma-ray bursts (XRRs)…

The First Swift BAT Gamma-Ray Burst Catalog

T. Sakamoto, S. D. Barthelmy, L. Barbier +13

We present the first Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) catalog of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), which contains bursts detected by the BAT between 2004 December 19 and 2007 June 16. This…

Swift Discovery of Gamma-Ray Bursts without Jet Break Feature in their X-Ray Afterglows

G. Sato, R. Yamazaki, K. Ioka +16

We analyze Swift gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and X-ray afterglows for three GRBs with spectroscopic redshift determinations -- GRB 050401, XRF 050416a, and GRB 050525a. We find that th…

Are Short GRBs Really Hard?

T. Sakamoto, L. Barbier, S. Barthelmy +19

Thanks to the rapid position notice and response by HETE-2 and Swift, the X-ray afterglow emissions have been found for four recent short gamma-ray bursts (GRBs; GRB 050509b, GRB 0…

Confirmation of the $\eps$ -- $\eiso$ (Amati) relation from the X-ray flash XRF 050416A observed by Swift/BAT

T. Sakamoto, L. Barbier, S. D. Barthelmy +10

We report Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) observations of the X-ray Flash (XRF) XRF 050416A. The fluence ratio between the 15-25 keV and 25-50 keV energy bands of this event is 1…
