The Brera Multi-scale Wavelet Chandra Survey. I. Serendipitous source catalogue
P. Romano, S. Campana, R. P. Mignani +4
We present the BMW-Chandra source catalogue drawn from essentially all Chandra ACIS-I pointed observations with an exposure time in excess of 10ks public as of March 2003 (136 obse…
Outliers from the mainstream: how a massive star can produce a gamma-ray burst
S. Campana, N. Panagia, D. Lazzati +12
It is now recognized that long-duration Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) are linked to the collapse of massive stars, based on the association between (low-redshift) GRBs and (type Ic) core…
GRB 080319B: A Naked-Eye Stellar Blast from the Distant Universe
J. L. Racusin, S. V. Karpov, M. Sokolowski +81
Long duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) release copious amounts of energy across the entire electromagnetic spectrum, and so provide a window into the process of black hole formation…
Evidence for Luminosity Evolution of Long Gamma-ray Bursts in Swift Data
R. Salvaterra, C. Guidorzi, S. Campana +2
We compute the luminosity function (LF) and the formation rate of long gamma ray bursts (GRBs) by fitting the observed differential peak flux distribution obtained by the BATSE exp…
The complex light-curve of the afterglow of GRB071010A
S. Covino, P. D'Avanzo, A. Klotz +51
We present and discuss the results of an extensive observational campaign devoted to GRB071010A, a long-duration gamma-ray burst detected by the Swift satellite. This event was fol…
Observations of X-ray Flares from Gamma Ray Bursts
A. D. Falcone, D. Morris, J. Racusin +11
Swift-XRT observations of the X-ray emission from gamma ray bursts (GRBs) and during the GRB afterglow have led to many new results during the past two years. One of these exciting…
