A Search for High-Energy Counterparts to Fast Radio Bursts

Virginia Cunningham, S. Bradley Cenko, Eric Burns +8

We report on a search for high-energy counterparts to fast radio bursts (FRBs) with the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM), Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT), and the Neil Gehrels…

Fermi GBM Observations of GRB 150101B: A Second Nearby Event with a Short Hard Spike and a Soft Tail

E. Burns, P. Veres, V. Connaughton +19

In light of the joint multimessenger detection of a binary neutron star merger as the gamma-ray burst GRB 170817A and in gravitational waves as GW170817, we reanalyze the Fermi Gam…

On the interpretation of the Fermi GBM transient observed in coincidence with LIGO Gravitational Wave Event GW150914

V. Connaughton, E. Burns, A. Goldstein +25

The weak transient detected by the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) 0.4 s after GW150914 has generated much speculation regarding its possible association with the black-hole bi…

An Ordinary Short Gamma-Ray Burst with Extraordinary Implications: Fermi-GBM Detection of GRB 170817A

A. Goldstein, P. Veres, E. Burns +27

On August 17, 2017 at 12:41:06 UTC the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) detected and triggered on the short gamma-ray burst GRB 170817A. Approximately 1.7 s prior to this GRB, t…

Which ? - The Characteristic Energy of Gamma-Ray Burst Spectra

Robert Preece, Adam Goldstein, Narayana Bhat +3

A characteristic energy of individual gamma-ray burst (GRB) spectra can in most cases be determined from the peak energy of the energy density spectra (), called '$E_{…

Fermi GBM Observations of LIGO Gravitational Wave event GW150914

V. Connaughton, E. Burns, A. Goldstein +32

With an instantaneous view of 70% of the sky, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) is an excellent partner in the search for electromagnetic counterparts to gravitational wave (…

Compton scattering in terrestrial gamma-ray flashes detected with the Fermi gamma-ray burst monitor

Gerard Fitzpatrick, Eric Cramer, Sheila McBreen +11

Terrestrial gamma-ray flashes (TGFs) are short intense flashes of gamma rays associated with lightning activity in thunderstorms. Using Monte Carlo simulations of the relativistic…
