Future Perspectives for Gamma-ray Burst Detection from Space
Enrico Bozzo, Lorenzo Amati, Wayne Baumgartner +35
Since their first discovery in the late 1960s, Gamma-ray bursts have attracted an exponentially growing interest from the international community due to their central role in the m…
The use and calibration of read-out streaks to increase the dynamic range of the Swift Ultraviolet/Optical Telescope
M. J. Page, N. P. M. Kuin, A. A. Breeveld +12
The dynamic range of photon counting micro-channel-plate (MCP) intensified charged-coupled device (CCD) instruments such as the Swift Ultraviolet/Optical Telescope (UVOT) and the X…
An Updated Ultraviolet Calibration for the Swift/UVOT
A. A. Breeveld, W. Landsman, S. T. Holland +3
We present an updated calibration of the Swift/UVOT broadband ultraviolet (uvw1, uvm2, and uvw2) filters. The new calibration accounts for the ~1% per year decline in the UVOT sens…
Faint NUV/FUV Standards from Swift/UVOT, GALEX and SDSS Photometry
Michael H. Siegel, Erik A. Hoversten, Peter W. A. Roming +8
At present, the precision of deep ultraviolet photometry is somewhat limited by the dearth of faint ultraviolet standard stars. In an effort to improve this situation, we present a…
