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…
GRB 050911: a black hole - neutron star merger or a naked GRB
K. L. Page, A. R. King, A. J. Levan +16
GRB 050911, discovered by the Swift Burst Alert Telescope, was not seen 4.6 hr later by the Swift X-ray Telescope, making it one of the very few X-ray non-detections of a Gamma-Ray…
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 dust-scattered X-ray halo around Swift GRB 050724
S. Vaughan, R. Willingale, P. Romano +12
This paper discusses the X-ray halo around the Swift gamma-ray burst GRB 050724 (z=0.258), detected by the Swift X-Ray Telescope. The halo, which forms a ring around the fading X-r…
