Swift/BAT and MAXI/GSC Broadband Transient Monitor
Takanori Sakamoto, Ryoma Oda, Tatehiro Mihara +7
We present the newly developed broadband transient monitor using the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) and the MAXI Gas Slit Camera (GSC) data. Our broadband transient monitor moni…
Swift Observations of Gamma-Ray Burst Pulse Shapes: GRB Pulse Spectral Evolution Clarified
Jon Hakkila, Amy Lien, Takanori Sakamoto +3
Isolated Swift gamma-ray burst (GRB) pulses, like their higher-energy BATSE counterparts, emit the bulk of their pulsed emission as a hard-to-soft component that can be fitted by t…
Machine Learning Model of the Swift/BAT Trigger Algorithm for Long GRB Population Studies
Philip B Graff, Amy Y Lien, John G Baker +1
To draw inferences about gamma-ray burst (GRB) source populations based on Swift observations, it is essential to understand the detection efficiency of the Swift burst alert teles…
Soft X-ray Observation of the Prompt Emission of GRB100418A
Ritsuko Imatani, Hiroshi Tomida, Satoshi Nakahira +7
We have observed the prompt emission of GRB100418A, from its beginning by the MAXI/SSC (0.7-7 keV) on board the International Space Station followed by the Swift/XRT (0.3-10 keV) o…
Extremely Soft X-ray Flash as the indicator of off-axis orphan GRB afterglow
Yuji Urata, Kuiyun Huang, Ryo Yamazaki +1
We verified the off-axis jet model of X-ray flashes (XRFs) and examined a discovery of off-axis orphan gamma-ray burst (GRBs) afterglows. The XRF sample was selected on the basis o…
Probing the emission physics and weak/soft population of Gamma-Ray Bursts with LOFT
L. Amati, G. Stratta, J. -L. Atteia +36
This is a White Paper in support of the mission concept of the Large Observatory for X-ray Timing (LOFT), proposed as a medium-sized ESA mission. We discuss the potential of LOFT f…
