Detecting Magnetar Giant Flares with MoonBEAM
O. J. Roberts, E. Burns, A. Goldstein +1
Magnetars are slowly-rotating neutron stars with extremely strong magnetic fields that rarely produce extremely bright, energetic giant flares. Magnetar Giant Flares (MGFs) begin w…
Extreme Variability in a Long Duration Gamma-ray Burst Associated with a Kilonova
P. Veres, P. N. Bhat, E. Burns +19
The recent discovery of a kilonova from the long duration gamma-ray burst, GRB 211211A, challenges classification schemes based on temporal information alone. Gamma-ray properties…
Fermi-GBM Discovery of GRB 221009A: An Extraordinarily Bright GRB from Onset to Afterglow
S. Lesage, P. Veres, M. S. Briggs +136
We report the discovery of GRB 221009A, the highest flux gamma-ray burst ever observed by the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM). This GRB has continuous prompt emission lasting m…
The IXPE view of GRB 221009A
Michela Negro, Niccoló Di Lalla, Nicola Omodei +108
We present the IXPE observation of GRB 221009A which includes upper limits on the linear polarization degree of both prompt and afterglow emission in the soft X-ray energy band. GR…
Fermi-GBM Observations of the SGR J1935+2154 Burst Forest
Yuki Kaneko, Ersin Gogus, Matthew G. Baring +7
During 2020 April and May, SGR J1935+2154 emitted hundreds of short bursts and became one of the most prolific transient magnetars. At the onset of the active bursting period, a 13…
The Fermi GBM Gamma-Ray Burst Spectral Catalog: 10 Years of Data
S. Poolakkil, R. Preece, C. Fletcher +17
We present the systematic spectral analyses of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) detected by the Fermi Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor (GBM) during its first ten years of operation. This catalog con…
