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…
The Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) on the Swift MIDEX Mission
S. D. Barthelmy, L. M. Barbier, J. R. Cummings +12
The Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) is one of 3 instruments on the Swift MIDEX spacecraft to study gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). The BAT first detects the GRB and localizes the burst direct…
A Link between Prompt Optical and Prompt Gamma-Ray Emission in Gamma-Ray Bursts
W. T. Vestrand, P. R. Wozniak, J. A. Wren +20
The prompt optical emission that arrives with gamma-rays from a cosmic gamma-ray burst (GRB) is a signature of the engine powering the burst, the properties of the ultra-relativist…
A contemporaneous infrared flash from a long gamma-ray burst: an echo from the central engine
C. H. Blake, J. S. Bloom, D. L. Starr +25
The explosion that results in a cosmic gamma-ray burst (GRB) is thought to produce emission from two physical processes -- the activity of the central engine gives rise to the high…
Gamma-Ray Observations of a Giant Flare from The Magnetar SGR 1806-20
D. M. Palmer, S. Barthelmy, N. Gehrels +25
Magnetars comprise two classes of rotating neutron stars (Soft Gamma Repeaters (SGRs) and Anomalous X-ray Pulsars), whose X-ray emission is powered by an ultrastrong magnetic field…
