A Large Catalog of Homogeneous Ultra-Violet/Optical GRB Afterglows: Temporal and Spectral Evolution
Peter W. A. Roming, T. Scott Koch, Samantha R. Oates +10
We present the second Swift Ultra-Violet/Optical Telescope (UVOT) gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglow catalog, greatly expanding on the first Swift UVOT GRB afterglow catalog. The seco…
Gamma-ray Burst Flares: X-ray Flaring. II
C. A. Swenson, P. W. A. Roming
We present a catalog of 497 flaring periods found in gamma-ray burst (GRB) light curves taken from the online XRT GRB Catalogue. We analyzed 680 individual light curves using a fla…
GRB Flares: A New Detection Algorithm, Previously Undetected Flares, and Implications on GRB Physics
C. A. Swenson, P. W. A. Roming
Flares in GRB light curves have been observed since shortly after the discovery of the first GRB afterglow. However, it was not until the launch of the Swift satellite that it was…
GRB Flares: UV/Optical Flaring (Paper I)
C. A. Swenson, P. W. A. Roming, M. De Pasquale +1
We present a new algorithm for the detection of flares in gamma-ray burst (GRB) light curves and use this algorithm to detect flares in the UV/optical. The algorithm makes use of t…
Fermi and Swift Gamma-Ray Burst Afterglow Population Studies
J. L. Racusin, S. R. Oates, P. Schady +15
The new and extreme population of GRBs detected by Fermi-LAT shows several new features in high energy gamma-rays that are providing interesting and unexpected clues into GRB promp…
GRB 090926A and Bright Late-time Fermi LAT GRB Afterglows
C. A. Swenson, A. Maxham, P. W. A. Roming +10
GRB 090926A was detected by both the GBM and LAT instruments on-board the Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope. Swift follow-up observations began ~13 hours after the initial trigger. T…
GRB 090902B: afterglow observations and implications
S. B. Pandey, C. A. Swenson, D. A. Perley +30
The optical-infrared afterglow of the LAT-detected long duration burst, GRB 090902B, has been observed by several instruments. The earliest detection by ROTSE-IIIa occurred 80 minu…
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…
