HETE-2 Localization and Observations of the Gamma-Ray Burst GRB 020813
R. Sato, the HETE Science Team
A bright, long gamma-ray burst (GRB) was detected and localized by the instruments on board the High Energy Transient Explorer 2 satellite (HETE-2) at 02:44:19.17 UTC (9859.17 s UT…
Discovery and identification of the very high redshift afterglow of GRB 050904
J. Haislip, M. Nysewander, D. Reichart +39
In 2000, Lamb and Reichart predicted that gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and their afterglows occur in sufficient numbers and at sufficient brightnesses at very high redshifts (z > 5) to…
Jet Models of X-Ray Flashes
D. Q. Lamb, T. Q. Donaghy, C. Graziani
One third of all HETE-2--localized bursts are X-Ray Flashes (XRFs), a class of events first identified by Heise in which the fluence in the 2-30 keV energy band exceeds that in the…
Likelihood Analysis of GRB Evolution with Redshift
C. Graziani, T. Q. Donaghy, D. Q. Lamb
We present a likelihood approach to modeling multi-dimensional GRB Epeak--fluence--redshift data that naturally incorporates instrument detection thresholds. The treatment of instr…
Unifying XRFs and GRBs with a Fisher-Shaped Universal Jet Model
T. Q. Donaghy, C. Graziani, D. Q. Lamb
We show analytically that GRB jets with an emissivity profile given by the Fisher distribution, epsilon(theta) = A * e^(B cos(theta)), have the unique property of producing equal n…
High Resolution Gratings Spectroscopy of GRBs 030382 and 041006 with Chandra LETGS
N. R. Butler, G. R. Ricker, P. G. Ford +5
We present high resolution X-ray spectroscopy of two recent GRB afterglows observed with the Low Energy Transmission Gratings on Chandra. The afterglows to GRBs 030328 and 041006 a…
