Constraints on Lorentz Invariance Violation from PeV Gamma Rays of Cygnus X-3 Observed by LHAASO

Zhen Cao, F. Aharonian, Y. X. Bai +334

The Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO) has detected photons with energies up to 3.7 PeV from the binary system Cygnus X-3 during a flaring episode. The combination…

Fermi GBM Observations of LIGO Gravitational Wave event GW150914

V. Connaughton, E. Burns, A. Goldstein +32

With an instantaneous view of 70% of the sky, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) is an excellent partner in the search for electromagnetic counterparts to gravitational wave (…

GRB 130925A: an ultra-long Gamma Ray Burst with a dust-echo afterglow, and implications for the origin of the ultra-long GRBs

P. A. Evans, R. Willingale, J. P. Osborne +24

GRB 130925A was an unusual GRB, consisting of 3 distinct episodes of high-energy emission spanning 20 ks, making it a member of the proposed category of `ultra-long' bursts.…

GRB 130427A: a Nearby Ordinary Monster

A. Maselli, A. Melandri, L. Nava +63

Long-duration Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) are an extremely rare outcome of the collapse of massive stars, and are typically found in the distant Universe. Because of its intrinsic lumi…

GRB 080913 at redshift 6.7

J. Greiner, T. Kruehler, J. P. U. Fynbo +44

We report on the detection by Swift of GRB 080913, and subsequent optical/near-infrared follow-up observations by GROND which led to the discovery of its optical/NIR afterglow and…

Swift X-ray Afterglows and the Missing Jet Break Problem

J. L. Racusin, E. -W. Liang, D. N. Burrows +3

We present a systematic survey of the temporal and spectral properties of all GRB X-ray afterglows observed by Swift-XRT between January 2005 and July 2007. We have constructed a c…

Swift observations of the X-ray bright GRB 050315

S. Vaughan, M. R. Goad, A. P. Beardmore +30

This paper discusses Swift observations of the gamma-ray burst GRB 050315 (z=1.949) from 80 s to 10 days after the onset of the burst. The X-ray light curve displayed a steep early…
