Uncovering low-level Fermi/GBM emission using orbital background subtraction
Gerard Fitzpatrick, Valerie Connaughton, Sheila McBreen +1
The secondary instrument onboard Fermi, the Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) is an all sky monitor consisting of 14 scintillation detectors. When analysing transient events such as Ga…
Temporal Deconvolution study of Long and Short Gamma-Ray Burst Light curves
P. N. Bhat, Michael S. Briggs, Valerie Connaughton +24
The light curves of Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) are believed to result from internal shocks reflecting the activity of the GRB central engine. Their temporal deconvolution can reveal p…
Burst and Persistent Emission Properties during the Recent Active Episode of the Anomalous X-ray Pulsar 1E 1841-045
Lin Lin, Chryssa Kouveliotou, Ersin Gogus +19
Swift/BAT detected the first burst from 1E 1841-045 in May 2010 with intermittent burst activity recorded through at least July 2011. Here we present Swift and Fermi/GBM observatio…
Constraints on the Synchrotron Shock Model for the Fermi GBM Gamma-Ray Burst 090820A
J. Michael Burgess, Robert D. Preece, Matthew G. Baring +25
Discerning the radiative dissipation mechanism for prompt emission in Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) requires detailed spectroscopic modeling that straddles the peak in the 100 keV…
GRIPS - Gamma-Ray Imaging, Polarimetry and Spectroscopy
J. Greiner, K. Mannheim, F. Aharonian +65
We propose to perform a continuously scanning all-sky survey from 200 keV to 80 MeV achieving a sensitivity which is better by a factor of 40 or more compared to the previous missi…
Rest-frame properties of 32 gamma-ray bursts observed by the Fermi Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor
D. Gruber, J. Greiner, A. von Kienlin +27
Aims: In this paper we study the main spectral and temporal properties of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) observed by Fermi/GBM. We investigate these key properties of GRBs in the rest-fra…
First-year Results of Broadband Spectroscopy of the Brightest Fermi-GBM Gamma-Ray Bursts
Elisabetta Bissaldi, Andreas von Kienlin, Chryssa Kouveliotou +26
We present here our results of the temporal and spectral analysis of a sample of 52 bright and hard gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) observed with the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) du…
A New Derivation of GRB Jet Opening Angles from the Prompt Gamma-Ray Emission
Adam Goldstein, Robert D. Preece, Michael S. Briggs +24
The jet opening angle of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) is an important parameter for determining the characteristics of the progenitor, and the information contained in the opening angle…
Detection of a spectral break in the extra hard component of GRB 090926A
Fermi-LAT, Fermi-GBM collaborations
We report on the observation of the bright, long gamma-ray burst, GRB 090926A, by the Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) and Large Area Telescope (LAT) instruments on board the \Fermi\…
Fermi/GBM observations of the ultra-long GRB 091024: A burst with an optical flash
D. Gruber, T. Krühler, S. Foley +27
In this paper we examine gamma-ray and optical data of GRB 091024, a gamma-ray burst (GRB) with an extremely long duration of T90~1020 s, as observed with the Fermi Gamma-Ray Burst…
