High Energy Observations of XRF 030723: Evidence for an Off-axis Gamma-Ray Burst?
N. R. Butler, T. Sakamoto, M. Suzuki +34
We report High Energy Transient Explorer 2 (HETE-2) Wide Field X-ray Monitor/French Gamma Telescope observations of XRF030723 along with observations of the XRF afterglow made usin…
IR and Optical Observations of GRB 030115
Allyn Dullighan, George Ricker, Nathaniel Butler +1
We present an upper limit on the brightness of the afterglow of the long GRB 030115 measured from Infrared (IR) images taken with the Magellan Classic Cam instrument of Ks > 22 at…
Previously Claimed(/Unclaimed) X-ray Emission Lines in High Resolution Afterglow Spectra
N. Butler, A. Dullighan, P. Ford +5
We review the significance determination for emission lines in the Chandra HETGS spectrum for GRB020813, and we report on a search for additional lines in high resolution Chandra s…
Optical and X-ray Observations of the Afterglow to XRF030723
N. Butler, A. Dullighan, P. Ford +6
The X-ray-flash XRF030723 was detected by the HETE satellite and rapidly disseminated, allowing for an optical transient to be detected ~1 day after the burst. We discuss observati…
Chandra Observations of the Optically Dark GRB030528
N. Butler, A. Dullighan, P. Ford +5
The X-ray-rich GRB030528 was detected by the HETE satellite and its localization was rapidly disseminated. However, early optical observations failed to detect a counterpart source…
HETE Observations of the Gamma-Ray Burst GRB030329: Evidence for an Underlying Soft X-ray Component
R. Vanderspek, T. Sakamoto, C. Barraud +30
An exceptionally intense gamma-ray burst, GRB030329, was detected and localized by the instruments on board the High Energy Transient Explorer satellite (HETE) at 11:37:14 UT on 29…
