No Universality for Electron's Power-Law Index (p) in Gamma-Ray Bursts and Other Relativistic Sources

R. -F. Shen, P. Kumar, E. L. Robinson

The Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) prompt emission is believed to be from highly relativistic electrons accelerated in relativistic shocks. From the GRB high-energy power-law spectral indic…

Swift observations of the prompt X-ray emission and afterglow from GRB050126 and GRB050219A

M. R. Goad

We report on the temporal and spectral characteristics of the early X-ray emission from the Gamma Ray Bursts GRB050126 and GRB050219A as observed by Swift. The X-ray light-curves o…

Discovery of an Afterglow Extension of the Prompt Phase of Two Gamma Ray Bursts Observed by Swift

S. D. Barthelmy, J. K. Cannizzo, N. Gehrels +19

BAT and XRT observations of two recent well-covered GRBs observed by Swift, GRB 050315 and GRB 050319, show clearly a prompt component joining the onset of the afterglow emission.…

The afterglow of GRB050709 and the nature of the short-hard gamma-ray bursts

D. B. Fox, D. A. Frail, P. A. Price +33

The final chapter in the long-standing mystery of the gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) centres on the origin of the short-hard class, suspected on theoretical grounds to result from the coa…

Swift panchromatic observations of the bright gamma-ray burst GRB050525a

A. J. Blustin, D. Band, S. Barthelmy +12

The bright gamma-ray burst GRB050525a has been detected with the Swift observatory, providing unique multiwavelength coverage from the very earliest phases of the burst. The X-ray…

An HST Search for Supernovae Accompanying X-ray Flashes

A. M. Soderberg, S. R. Kulkarni, D. B. Fox +24

We present the results from an Hubble Space Telescope/ACS search for supernovae associated with X-ray flashes 020903, 040701, 040812 and 040916. We find strong evidence that XRF 02…
