Timing accuracy of the Swift X-Ray Telescope in WT mode
G. Cusumano, V. La Parola, M. Capalbi +8
The X-Ray Telescope (XRT) on board Swift was mainly designed to provide detailed position, timing and spectroscopic information on Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) afterglows. During the miss…
Polarization studies with NuSTAR
Simone Lotti, Lorenzo Natalucci, Paolo Giommi +6
The capability of NuSTAR to detect polarization in the Compton scattering regime (>50 keV) has been investigated. The NuSTAR mission, flown on June 2012 a Low Earth Orbit (LEO), pr…
A complete sample of bright Swift Gamma-Ray Bursts: X-ray afterglow luminosity and its correlation with the prompt emission
P. D'Avanzo, R. Salvaterra, B. Sbarufatti +12
We investigate wheter there is any correlation between the X-ray afterglow luminosity and the prompt emission properties of a carefully selected sub-sample of bright Swift long Gam…
The prompt-afterglow connection in Gamma-Ray Bursts: a comprehensive statistical analysis of Swift X-ray light-curves
R. Margutti, E. Zaninoni, M. G. Bernardini +20
We present a comprehensive statistical analysis of Swift X-ray light-curves of Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) collecting data from more than 650 GRBs discovered by Swift and other facilit…
