Neutron Star Mergers and How to Study Them
Eric Burns
Neutron star mergers are the canonical multimessenger events: they have been observed through photons for half a century, gravitational waves since 2017, and are likely to be sourc…
Evaluation of Automated Fermi GBM Localizations of Gamma-ray Bursts
Adam Goldstein, Corinne Fletcher, Peter Veres +14
The capability of the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) to localize gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) is evaluated for two different automated algorithms: the GBM Team's RoboBA algorithm a…
The Compton Spectrometer and Imager
John A. Tomsick, Andreas Zoglauer, Clio Sleator +21
In this Astro2020 APC White Paper, we describe a Small Explorer (SMEX) mission concept called the Compton Spectrometer and Imager. COSI is a Compton telescope that covers the bandp…
BurstCube: Concept, Performance, and Status
Jacob R. Smith, Michael S. Briggs, Alessandro Bruno +26
The first simultaneous detection of a short gamma-ray burst (SGRB) with a gravitational-wave (GW) signal ushered in a new era of multi-messenger astronomy. In order to increase the…
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 follow-up of LIGO-Virgo binary black hole mergers -- detection prospects
P. Veres, T. Dal Canton, E. Burns +4
Fermi-Gamma-ray Burst Monitor observed a 1 s long gamma-ray signal (GW150914-GBM) starting 0.4 s after the first gravitational wave detection from the binary black hole merger GW15…
