Prompt and afterglow early X-ray phases in the comoving frame. Evidence for Universal properties?
G. Chincarini, A. Moretti, P. Romano +38
We analyze the Swift XRT light curves and spectra of the gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) for which the redshift has been measured. The sample consists of seven GRBs. The soft X-ray light c…
Swift's Ability to Detect Gamma-Ray Bursts
E. E. Fenimore, K. McLean, D. Palmer +7
The Swift satellite will be a self-contained observatory that will bring new capabilities to the observing of the early afterglow emission of Gamma-ray Bursts. Swift is completely…
Astrometric Calibration and Estimate of the Systematic Error in WXM Localizations Obtained by the Chicago Bayesian Method
C. Graziani, Y. Shirasaki, T. Donaghy +11
WXM gives GRB localizations in instrument coordinates. WXM localizations must be converted to celestial coordinates using spacecraft aspect information obtained by the optical came…
GRB010921: Localization and Observations by the HETE Satellite
G. Ricker, K. Hurley, D. Lamb +36
On September 21 at 18950.56 SOD (05:15:50.56) UT the FREGATE gamma-ray instrument on the High Energy Transient Explorer (HETE) detected a bright gamma-ray burst (GRB). The burst wa…
Redshifts For 220 BATSE Gamma-Ray Bursts Determined by Variability and the Cosmological Consequences
E. E. Fenimore, E. Ramirez-Ruiz
We show that the time variability of a gamma-ray burst (GRB) appears to be correlated with the absolute luminosity of the burst: smooth bursts are intrinsically less luminous. This…
Gamma-Ray Bursts as Internal Shocks Caused By Deceleration
E. E. Fenimore, E. Ramirez-Ruiz
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have been thought to originate from internal shocks that occur about 10^{15} cm from a central site. The shells responsible for these shocks merge together…
