Geant4 simulation of the residual background in the ATHENA Wide Field Imager from protons deflected by the Charged Particle Diverter

Gábor Galgóczi, Jean-Paul Breuer, Valentina Fioretti +11

X-ray telescopes opened up a new window into the high-energy universe. However, the last generation of these telescopes encountered an unexpected problem: their optics focused not…

Cosmological Fast Optical Transients with the Zwicky Transient Facility: A Search for Dirty Fireballs

Anna Y. Q. Ho, Daniel A. Perley, Yuhan Yao +33

Dirty fireballs are a hypothesized class of relativistic massive-star explosions with an initial Lorentz factor below the required to pro…

The Fourth Fermi-GBM Gamma-Ray Burst Catalog: A Decade of Data

A. von Kienlin, C. A. Meegan, W. S. Paciesas +18

We present the fourth in a series of catalogs of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) observed with Fermi's Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor (Fermi-GBM). It extends the six year catalog by four more yea…

Fermi GBM GRBs with characteristics similar to GRB 170817A

A. von Kienlin, P. Veres, O. J. Roberts +11

We present a search for gamma-ray bursts in the Fermi-GBM 10 year catalog that show similar characteristics to GRB 170817A, the first electromagnetic counterpart to a GRB identifie…

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…
