Discovery of the accretion-powered millisecond pulsar SWIFT J1756.9-2508 with a low-mass companion
H. A. Krimm, C. B. Markwardt, C. J. Deloye +10
We report on the discovery by the Swift Gamma-Ray Burst Explorer of the eighth known transient accretion-powered millisecond pulsar, SWIFT J1756.9-2508, as part of routine observat…
The Dark Side of ROTSE-III Prompt GRB Observations
S. A. Yost, F. Aharonian, C. W. Akerlof +22
We present several cases of optical observations during gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) which resulted in prompt limits but no detection of optical emission. These limits constrain the pro…
The First Swift BAT Gamma-Ray Burst Catalog
T. Sakamoto, S. D. Barthelmy, L. Barbier +13
We present the first Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) catalog of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), which contains bursts detected by the BAT between 2004 December 19 and 2007 June 16. This…
GRB 060714: No Clear Dividing Line Between Prompt Emission and X-ray Flares
H. A. Krimm, J. Granot, F. Marshal +6
The long gamma-ray burst GRB 060714 was observed to exhibit a series of five X-ray flares beginning ~70 s after the burst trigger T0 and continuing until T0 + ~200 s. The first two…
Swift observations of GRB 070110: an extraordinary X-ray afterglow powered by the central engine
E. Troja, G. Cusumano, P. O'Brien +22
We present a detailed analysis of Swift multi-wavelength observations of GRB 070110 and its remarkable afterglow. The early X-ray light curve, interpreted as the tail of the prompt…
X-ray Flares in Early GRB Afterglows
D. N. Burrows, A. Falcone, G. Chincarini +12
The Swift X-ray Telescope (XRT) has discovered that flares are quite common in early X-ray afterglows of Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs), being observed in roughly 50% of afterglows with p…
