The Giant X-ray Flare of GRB 050502B: Evidence for Late-Time Internal Engine Activity

A. D. Falcone, D. N. Burrows, D. Lazzati +28

Until recently, X-ray flares during the afterglow of gamma ray bursts (GRBs) were a rarely detected phenomenon, thus their nature is unclear. During the afterglow of GRB 050502B, t…

Swift and XMM observations of the dark GRB 050326

A. Moretti, A. De Luca, D. Malesani +30

We present Swift and XMM observations of GRB 050326, detected by Swift-BAT. The fluence was 7.7x10^-6 erg cm^-2 (20-150 keV), and its spectrum was hard, with a power law photon ind…

Swift observations of the prompt X-ray emission and afterglow from GRB050126 and GRB050219A

M. R. Goad

We report on the temporal and spectral characteristics of the early X-ray emission from the Gamma Ray Bursts GRB050126 and GRB050219A as observed by Swift. The X-ray light-curves o…

Evidence for intrinsic absorption in the Swift X-ray afterglows

S. Campana, P. Romano, S. Covino +29

Gamma-ray burst (GRB) progenitors are observationally linked to the death of massive stars. X-ray studies of the GRB afterglows can deepen our knowledge of the ionization status an…

The weak INTEGRAL bursts GRB040223 and GRB040624: an emerging population of dark afterglows

P. Filliatre, S. Covino, P. D'Avanzo +18

We report here gamma-ray, X-ray and near-infrared observations of GRB040223 along with gamma-ray and optical observations of GRB040624. GRB040223 was detected by INTEGRAL close to…

An origin for short g-ray bursts unassociated with current star formation

S. D. Barthelmy, G. Chincarini, D. N. Burrows +28

Two short (<2 s) g-ray bursts (GRBs) have recently been localized and fading afterglow counterparts detected. The combination of these two results left unclear the nature of the ho…
