David L. Band, the Glast SSC
The Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope (GLAST) Science Support Center (GSSC) is the scientific community's interface with GLAST. The GSSC will provide data, analysis software and…
A Massive Jet-Ejection from SS433
T. Kotani, S. Trushkin, E. K. Denissyuk +4
The detection of a massive jet-ejection event from SS433 with RXTE is reported. SS433 in its high state has been monitored with RXTE from 2001/11/09 (MJD = 52222) to 2001/11/25 (MJ…
Spectral Energy Distributions and Light Curves of GRB 990123 and its Afterglow
T. J. Galama, M. S. Briggs, R. A. M. J. Wijers +38
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are thought to result from the interaction of an extremely relativistic outflow interacting with a small amount of material surrounding the site of the expl…
Analysis of Line Candidates in Gamma-Ray Bursts Observed by BATSE
M. S. Briggs, D. L. Band, R. D. Preece +2
A comprehensive search of BATSE Spectroscopy Detector data from 117 GRBs has uncovered 13 statistically significant line candidates. The case of a candidate in GRB 930916 is discus…
Spectral Hardness Decay with Respect to Fluence in BATSE Gamma-Ray Bursts
A. Crider, E. P. Liang, R. D. Preece +5
We have analyzed the evolution of the spectral hardness parameter Epk as a function of fluence in gamma-ray bursts. We fit 41 pulses within 26 bursts with the trend reported by Lia…
The Gamma-Ray Burst Mystery
David L. Band
Gamma-ray bursts are transient events from beyond the solar system. Besides the allure of their mysterious origin, bursts are physically fascinating because they undoubtedly requir…
