The ECLAIRs micro-satellite for multi-wavelength studies of gamma-ray burst prompt emission

S. Schanne, J. -L. Atteia, D. Barret +15

The cosmological revolution of 1997 has established that (at least long duration) gamma-ray bursts (GRB) are among the most energetic events in the Universe and occur at cosmologic…

Global Characteristics of X-Ray Flashes and X-Ray-Rich GRBs Observed by HETE-2

T. Sakamoto, D. Q. Lamb, C. Graziani +35

We describe and discuss the global properties of 45 gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) observed by HETE-2 during the first three years of its mission, focusing on the properties of X-Ray Flas…

The INTEGRAL view of the Soft Gamma-ray Repeater SGR 1806-20

D. Gotz, S. Mereghetti, I. F. Mirabel +21

We present the results obtained by INTEGRAL on the Soft-Gamma Ray Repeater SGR 1806-20. In particular we report on the temporal and spectral properties of the bursts detected durin…

Time-resolved X-ray spectral modeling of an intermediate burst from SGR1900+14 observed by HETE-2/FREGATE and WXM

J. -F. Olive, K. Hurley, T. Sakamoto +6

We present a detailed analysis of a 3.5 s long burst from SGR1900+14 which occurred on 2001 July 2. The 2-150 keV time-integrated energy spectrum is well described by the sum of tw…

HETE Observations of the Gamma-Ray Burst GRB030329: Evidence for an Underlying Soft X-ray Component

R. Vanderspek, T. Sakamoto, C. Barraud +30

An exceptionally intense gamma-ray burst, GRB030329, was detected and localized by the instruments on board the High Energy Transient Explorer satellite (HETE) at 11:37:14 UT on 29…
