Multivariate Monte Carlo Methods for the Reflection Grating Spectrometers on XMM-Newton

J. R. Peterson, J. G. Jernigan, S. M. Kahn

We propose a novel multivariate Monte Carlo method as an efficient and flexible approach to analyzing extended X-ray sources with the Reflection Grating Spectrometer (RGS) on XMM N…

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…

High Energy Observations of XRF 030723: Evidence for an Off-axis Gamma-Ray Burst?

N. R. Butler, T. Sakamoto, M. Suzuki +34

We report High Energy Transient Explorer 2 (HETE-2) Wide Field X-ray Monitor/French Gamma Telescope observations of XRF030723 along with observations of the XRF afterglow made usin…

Previously Claimed(/Unclaimed) X-ray Emission Lines in High Resolution Afterglow Spectra

N. Butler, A. Dullighan, P. Ford +5

We review the significance determination for emission lines in the Chandra HETGS spectrum for GRB020813, and we report on a search for additional lines in high resolution Chandra s…

Optical and X-ray Observations of the Afterglow to XRF030723

N. Butler, A. Dullighan, P. Ford +6

The X-ray-flash XRF030723 was detected by the HETE satellite and rapidly disseminated, allowing for an optical transient to be detected ~1 day after the burst. We discuss observati…

Chandra Observations of the Optically Dark GRB030528

N. Butler, A. Dullighan, P. Ford +5

The X-ray-rich GRB030528 was detected by the HETE satellite and its localization was rapidly disseminated. However, early optical observations failed to detect a counterpart source…
