The First Pulse of the Extremely Bright GRB 130427A: A Test Lab for Synchrotron Shocks
R. Preece, J. Michael Burgess, A. von Kienlin +156
Gamma-ray burst (GRB) 130427A is one of the most energetic GRBs ever observed. The initial pulse up to 2.5 s is possibly the brightest well-isolated pulse observed to date. A fine…
Time-resolved Analysis of Fermi GRBs with Fast and Slow-Cooled Synchrotron Photon Models
J. M. Burgess, R. D. Preece, V. Connaughton +20
Time-resolved spectroscopy is performed on eight bright, long gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) dominated by single emission pulses that were observed with the {\it Fermi Gamma-ray Space Tel…
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\…
When A Standard Candle Flickers
Colleen A. Wilson-Hodge, Michael L. Cherry, Wayne H. Baumgartner +27
The Crab Nebula is the only hard X-ray source in the sky that is both bright enough and steady enough to be easily used as a standard candle. As a result, it has been used as a nor…
First Results from Fermi GBM Earth Occultation Monitoring: Observations of Soft Gamma-Ray Sources Above 100 keV
Gary L. Case, Michael L. Cherry, James C. Rodi +15
The NaI and BGO detectors on the Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) on Fermi are now being used for long-term monitoring of the hard X-ray/low energy gamma-ray sky. Using the Earth occu…
Fermi Large Area Telescope Constraints on the Gamma-ray Opacity of the Universe
The Fermi LAT, the GBM Collaboration, : +1
The Extragalactic Background Light (EBL) includes photons with wavelengths from ultraviolet to infrared, which are effective at attenuating gamma rays with energy above ~10 GeV dur…
