Identification and properties of the photospheric emission in GRB090902B
F. Ryde, M. Axelsson, B. B. Zhang +19
The Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope observed the bright and long GRB090902B, lying at a redshift of z = 1.822. Together the Large Area Telescope (LAT) and the Gamma-ray Burst Monit…
Magnetar Twists: Fermi/Gamma ray Burst Monitor (GBM) detection of SGR J1550-5418
Y. Kaneko, E. Gogus, C. Kouveliotou +12
SGR J1550-5418 (previously known as AXP 1E 1547.0-5408 or PSR J1550-5418) went into three active bursting episodes in 2008 October and in 2009 January and March, emitting hundreds…
Discovery of a new Soft Gamma Repeater: SGR J0418+5729
A. J. van der Horst, V. Connaughton, C. Kouveliotou +31
On 2009 June 5, the Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) onboard the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope triggered on two short, and relatively dim bursts with spectral properties similar to…
Fermi Observations of GRB 090902B: A Distinct Spectral Component in the Prompt and Delayed Emission
GBM collaboration, LAT Collaboration, The Swift Team
We report on the observation of the bright, long gamma-ray burst, GRB 090902B, by the Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) and Large Area Telescope (LAT) instruments on-board the Fermi ob…
Fermi observations of high-energy gamma-ray emission from GRB 080825C
LAT Collaboration
The Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope (FGST) has opened a new high-energy window in the study of Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs). Here we present a thorough analysis of GRB 080825C, which tr…
Swift and Fermi observations of the early afterglow of the short Gamma-Ray Burst 090510
M. De Pasquale, P. Schady, N. P. M. Kuin +11
We present the observations of GRB090510 performed by the Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope and the Swift observatory. This is a bright, short burst that shows an extended emission d…
The Fermi Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor
Charles Meegan, Giselher Lichti, P. N. Bhat +18
The Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor (GBM) will significantly augment the science return from the Fermi Observatory in the study of Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs). The primary objective of GBM is…
On the electron energy distribution index of Swift Gamma-Ray Burst Afterglows
P. A. Curran, P. A. Evans, M. de Pasquale +2
The electron energy distribution index, p, is a fundamental parameter of the synchrotron emission from a range of astronomical sources. Here we examine one such source of synchrotr…
Multi-wavelength observations of the energetic GRB 080810: detailed mapping of the broadband spectral evolution
K. L. Page, R. Willingale, E. Bissaldi +31
GRB 080810 was one of the first bursts to trigger both Swift and the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope. It was subsequently monitored over the X-ray and UV/optical bands by Swift, in…
Optical Classification of Gamma-Ray Bursts in the Swift Era
A. J. van der Horst, C. Kouveliotou, N. Gehrels +5
We propose a new method for the classification of optically dark gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), based on the X-ray and optical-to-X-ray spectral indices of GRB afterglows, and utilizing…
