Searches for Modulated γ-Ray Precursors to Compact Binary Mergers in Fermi-GBM Data
Cosmin Stachie, Tito Dal Canton, Nelson Christensen +5
GW170817 is the only gravitational-wave (GW) event, for which a confirmed γ-ray counterpart, GRB 170817A, has been detected. Here we present a method to search for another type of…
Multi-Resolution HEALPix Maps for Multi-Wavelength and Multi-Messenger Astronomy
I. Martinez-Castellanos, Leo P. Singer, E. Burns +4
HEALPix -- the Hierarchical Equal Area isoLatitude Pixelization -- has become a standard in high-energy and gravitational wave astronomy. Originally developed to improve the effici…
Low-efficiency long gamma-ray bursts: A case study with AT2020blt
Nikhil Sarin, Rachel Hamburg, Eric Burns +3
The Zwicky Transient Facility recently announced the detection of an optical transient AT2020blt at redshift , consistent with the afterglow of an on-axis gamma-ray burst. H…
Discovery and confirmation of the shortest gamma ray burst from a collapsar
Tomas Ahumada, Leo P. Singer, Shreya Anand +54
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are among the brightest and most energetic events in the universe. The duration and hardness distribution of GRBs has two clusters, now understood to reflec…
Fast-transient Searches in Real Time with ZTFReST: Identification of Three Optically-discovered Gamma-ray Burst Afterglows and New Constraints on the Kilonova Rate
Igor Andreoni, Michael W. Coughlin, Erik C. Kool +32
While optical surveys regularly discover slow transients like supernovae on their own, the most common way to discover extragalactic fast transients, fading away in a few nights, i…
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…
