Jet Breaks in Short Gamma-Ray Bursts. II: The Collimated Afterglow of GRB 051221A
David N. Burrows, Dirk Grupe, Milvia Capalbi +8
We report the best evidence to date of a jet break in a short Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) afterglow, using Chandra and Swift XRT observations of the X-ray afterglow of GRB 051221A. The c…
The Prelude to and Aftermath of the Giant Flare of 2004 December 27: Persistent and Pulsed X-ray Properties of SGR 1806-20 from 1993 to 2005
Peter M. Woods, Chryssa Kouveliotou, Mark H. Finger +5
On 2004 December 27, a highly-energetic giant flare was recorded from the magnetar candidate SGR 1806-20. In the months preceding this flare, the persistent X-ray emission from thi…
The First Chandra Field
Martin C. Weisskopf, Thomas L. Aldcroft, Robert A. Cameron +6
Before the official first-light images, the Chandra X-Ray Observatory obtained an X-ray image of the field to which its focal plane was first exposed. We describe this historic obs…
Precise Localization of the Soft Gamma Repeater SGR 1627-41 and the Anomalous X-ray Pulsar AXP 1E1841-045 with Chandra
S. Wachter, S. Patel, C. Kouveliotou +7
We present precise localizations of AXP 1E1841-045 and SGR 1627-41 with Chandra. We obtained new infrared observations of SGR 1627-41 and reanalyzed archival observations of AXP 1E…
Long Term Spectral and Timing Behavior of the Black Hole Candidate XTE J1908+094
Ersin Gogus, Mark H. Finger, Chryssa Kouveliotou +6
We present the long term X-ray light curves, detailed spectral and timing analyses of XTE J1908+094 using the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer Proportional Counter Array observations co…
Chandra Observations of the X-ray Environs of SN 1998bw/GRB 980425
C. Kouveliotou, S. E. Woosley, S. K. Patel +8
(Abrigded) We report X-ray studies of the environs of SN 1998bw and GRB 980425 using the Chandra X-Ray Observatory 1281 days after the GRB. Combining our observation of the superno…
