Swift multi-wavelength observations of the bright flaring burst GRB051117A
M. R. Goad, K. L. Page, O. Godet +13
We report on the temporal and spectral characteristics of the early X-ray emission from the Gamma Ray Burst 051117A as observed by Swift. The superb quality of the early X-ray ligh…
Panchromatic study of GRB 060124: from precursor to afterglow
P. Romano, S. Campana, G. Chincarini +35
We present observations of GRB 060124, the first event for which both the prompt and the afterglow emission could be observed simultaneously and in their entirety by the three Swif…
Testing the standard fireball model of GRBs using late X-ray afterglows measured by Swift
R. Willingale, P. T. O'Brien, J. P. Osborne +8
We show that all X-ray decay curves of GRBs measured by Swift can be fitted using one or two components both of which have exactly the same functional form comprised of an early fa…
Swift observations of GRB050904: the most distant cosmic explosion ever observed
G. Cusumano, V. Mangano, G. Chincarini +30
Swift discovered the high redshift (z=6.29) GRB050904 with the Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) and began observing with its narrow field instruments 161 s after the burst onset. This g…
Chandra monitoring observations of the ultraluminous X-ray source NGC 5204 X-1
T. P. Roberts, R. E. Kilgard, R. S. Warwick +2
We report the results of a 2-month campaign conducted with the Chandra X-ray observatory to monitor the ultraluminous X-ray source (ULX) NGC 5204 X-1. This was composed of a 50-ks…
The nature of the close magnetic white dwarf + probable brown dwarf binary SDSS J121209.31+013627.7
M. R. Burleigh, T. R. Marsh, B. T. Gansicke +16
Optical time series photometry of the short period magnetic white dwarf + probable brown dwarf binary SDSS 121209.31+013627.7 reveals pulse-like variability in all bands from i' to…
