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…
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 short gamma-ray burst apparently asssociated with an elliptical galaxy at redshift z=0.225
N. Gehrels
Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) are bright, brief flashes of high energy photons that have fascinated scientists for 30 years. They come in two classes: long (>2 s), softspectrum bursts an…
