Probing Intergalactic Neutral Hydrogen by the Lyman Alpha Red Damping Wing of Gamma-Ray Burst 130606A Afterglow Spectrum at z = 5.913
Tomonori Totani, Kentaro Aoki, Takashi Hattori +7
The unprecedentedly bright optical afterglow of GRB 130606A located by Swift at a redshift close to the reionization era (z = 5.913) provides a new opportunity to probe the ionizat…
Soft X-ray Extended Emissions of Short Gamma-Ray Bursts as Electromagnetic Counterparts of Compact Binary Mergers; Possible Origin and Detectability
Takashi Nakamura, Kazumi Kashiyama, Daisuke Nakauchi +3
We investigate the possible origin of extended emissions (EEs) of short gamma-ray bursts with an isotropic energy of ~ 10^(50-51) erg and a duration of a few 10 s to ~ 100 s, based…
Probing the Cosmic Gamma-Ray Burst Rate with Trigger Simulations of the Swift Burst Alert Telescope
Amy Lien, Takanori Sakamoto, Neil Gehrels +4
The gamma-ray burst (GRB) rate is essential for revealing the connection between GRBs, supernovae and stellar evolution. Additionally, the GRB rate at high redshift provides a stro…
Extraordinary luminous soft X-ray transient MAXI J0158-744 as an ignition of a nova on a very massive O-Ne white dwarf
M. Morii, H. Tomida, M. Kimura +29
We present the observation of an extraordinary luminous soft X-ray transient, MAXI J0158-744, by the Monitor of All-sky X-ray Image (MAXI) on 2011 November 11. This transient is ch…
The 37-month MAXI/GSC source catalog in the high Galactic-latitude sky
Kazuo Hiroi, Yoshihiro Ueda, Masaaki Hayashida +40
We present the catalog of high Galactic-latitude () X-ray sources detected in the first 37-month data of Monitor of All-sky X-ray Image (MAXI) / Gas Slit Camera (GS…
Extremely long hard bursts observed by Konus-Wind
V. Pal'shin, R. Aptekar, D. Frederiks +18
We report the observations of the prompt emission of the extremely long hard burst, GRB 060814B, discovered by Konus-Wind and localized by the IPN. The observations reveal a smooth…
