From Rare Events to a Population: Discovering Overlooked Extragalactic Magnetar Giant Flare Candidates in Archival Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor Data
Aaron C. Trigg, Eric Burns, Michela Negro +16
Magnetar giant flares (MGFs) are rare, extremely bright bursts of gamma-rays from highly magnetized neutron stars. These events are challenging to identify because, at extragalacti…
GRB 250702B: Discovery of a Gamma-Ray Burst from a Black Hole Falling into a Star
Eliza Neights, Eric Burns, Chris L. Fryer +52
Gamma-ray bursts are the most luminous electromagnetic events in the universe. Their prompt gamma-ray emission has typical durations between a fraction of a second and several minu…
Fermi-GBM Observations of GRB 230307A: An Exceptionally Bright Long-Duration Gamma-ray Burst with an Associated Kilonova
S. Dalessi, P. Veres, C. M. Hui +22
On March 7th, 2023 the \textit{Fermi} Gamma-ray Burst Monitor observed the second highest fluence gamma-ray burst (GRB) ever, GRB~230307A. With a duration beyond 100~s, GRB~230307A…
GRB 241105A: A test case for GRB classification and rapid r-process nucleosynthesis channels
Dimple, B. P. Gompertz, A. J. Levan +85
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) offer a powerful window to probe the progenitor systems responsible for the formation of heavy elements through the rapid neutron capture (r-) process, than…
Fermi-GBM Team Analysis on The Ravasio Line
Eric Burns, Stephen Lesage, Adam Goldstein +20
The prompt spectra of gamma-ray bursts are known to follow broadband continuum behavior over decades in energy. GRB 221009A, given the moniker the brightest of all time (BOAT), is…
GRB 221009A: the B.O.A.T Burst that Shines in Gamma Rays
M. Axelsson, M. Ajello, M. Arimoto +151
We present a complete analysis of Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) data of GRB 221009A, the brightest Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) ever detected. The burst emission above 30 MeV detected…
Constraining possible -ray burst emission from GW230529 using Swift-BAT and Fermi-GBM
Samuele Ronchini, Suman Bala, Joshua Wood +35
GW230529 is the first compact binary coalescence detected by the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA collaboration with at least one component mass confidently in the lower mass-gap, corresponding to…
Identification of a Local Sample of Gamma-Ray Bursts Consistent with a Magnetar Giant Flare Origin
E. Burns, D. Svinkin, K. Hurley +23
Cosmological Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) are known to arise from distinct progenitor channels: short GRBs mostly from neutron star mergers and long GRBs from a rare type of core-collap…
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…
Analysis of Sub-threshold Short Gamma-ray Bursts in Fermi GBM Data
D. Kocevski, E. Burns, A. Goldstein +11
The Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) is currently the most prolific detector of Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs). Recently the detection rate of short GRBs (SGRBs) has been dramatically…
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…
The 3rd Fermi GBM Gamma-Ray Burst Catalog: The First Six Years
P. Narayana Bhat, Charles A. Meegan, Andreas von Kienlin +30
Since its launch in 2008, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) has triggered and located on average approximately two gamma-ray bursts (GRB) every three days. Here we present th…
