The THESEUS space mission concept: science case, design and expected performances
L. Amati, P. O'Brien, D. Goetz +208
THESEUS is a space mission concept aimed at exploiting Gamma-Ray Bursts for investigating the early Universe and at providing a substantial advancement of multi-messenger and time-…
The second flight of the SUNRISE balloon-borne solar observatory: overview of instrument updates, the flight, the data and first results
S. K. Solanki, T. L. Riethmüller, P. Barthol +32
The SUNRISE balloon-borne solar observatory, consisting of a 1~m aperture telescope that provided a stabilized image to a UV filter imager and an imaging vector polarimeter, carrie…
A decade of GRB follow-up by BOOTES in Spain (2003-2013)
Martin Jelínek, Alberto J. Castro-Tirado, Ronan Cunniffe +20
This article covers ten years of GRB follow-ups by the Spanish BOOTES stations: 71 follow-ups providing 23 detections. Follow-ups by BOOTES-1B from 2005 to 2008 were given in the p…
GRB 130606A within a sub-DLA at redshift 5.91
A. J. Castro-Tirado, R. Sánchez-Ramírez, S. L. Ellison +38
Events such as GRB130606A at z=5.91, offer an exciting new window into pre-galactic metal enrichment in these very high redshift host galaxies. We study the environment and host ga…
LOFT: the Large Observatory For X-ray Timing
M. Feroci, J. W. den Herder, E. Bozzo +245
The LOFT mission concept is one of four candidates selected by ESA for the M3 launch opportunity as Medium Size missions of the Cosmic Vision programme. The launch window is curren…
BOOTES Observation of GRB 080603B
Martin Jelinek, Javier Gorosabel, Alberto J. Castro-Tirado +9
We report on multicolor photometry of long GRB080603B afterglow from BOOTES-1B and BOOTES-2. The optical afterglow has already been reported to present a break in the optical light…
The Sunrise Mission
Peter Barthol, Achim Gandorfer, Sami K. Solanki +42
The first science flight of the balloon-borne \Sunrise telescope took place in June 2009 from ESRANGE (near Kiruna/Sweden) to Somerset Island in northern Canada. We describe the sc…
Four Years of Realtime GRB Followup by BOOTES-1B (2005-2008)
Martin Jelinek, Alberto J. Castro-Tirado, Antonio de Ugarte Postigo +8
Four years of BOOTES-1B GRB follow-up history are summarised for the first time in the form of a table. The successfully followed events are described case by case. Further, the da…
Optical and infrared flares from a transient Galactic soft gamma-ray repeater
A. J. Castro-Tirado, A. de Ugarte Postigo, J. Gorosabel +33
Soft gamma-ray repeaters (SGRs) are a rare type of gamma-ray transient sources that are ocasionally detected as bursts in the high-energy sky. They are thought to be produced by ma…
