How Distance Affects GRB Prompt Emission Measurements
Michael J. Moss, Amy Y. Lien, S. Bradley Cenko +2
We investigated how Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) prompt emission measurements are affected by increasing distance to the source. We selected a sample of 26 bright GRBs with measured redsh…
A simple, flexible method for timing cross-calibration of space missions
Matteo Bachetti, Yukikatsu Terada, Megumi Shidatsu +25
The timing (cross-)calibration of astronomical instruments is often done by comparing pulsar times-of-arrival (TOAs) to a reference timing model. In high-energy astronomy, the choi…
BatAnalysis -- A Comprehensive Python Pipeline for Swift BAT Time-Tagged Event Data Analysis
Tyler Parsotan, David M. Palmer, Samuele Ronchini +7
The Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) is a coded aperture gamma-ray instrument with a large field of view that was designed to detect and localize transient events. When a transien…
The 157-month Swift-BAT All-Sky Hard X-Ray Survey
Amy Y. Lien, Hans Krimm, Craig Markwardt +12
The Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) onboard the Neil Gehrels Swift observatory has been serving as a survey instrument for the hard X-ray sky, and has detected thousands of X-ray sourc…
Tentative Blazar Candidate EP240709A Associated with 4FGL J0031.5-5648: NICER and Archival Multiwavelength Observations
Mason Ng, Jeremy Hare, Gaurava K. Jaisawal +3
We report on follow-up observations of the recently discovered transient by the Einstein Probe, EP240709A, with the Neutron star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER). We also inco…
