SpK: A fast atomic and microphysics code for the high-energy-density regime
A. J. Crilly, N. P. L. Niasse, A. R. Fraser +4
SpK is part of the numerical codebase at Imperial College London used to model high energy density physics (HEDP) experiments. SpK is an efficient atomic and microphysics code used…
A Link between Prompt Optical and Prompt Gamma-Ray Emission in Gamma-Ray Bursts
W. T. Vestrand, P. R. Wozniak, J. A. Wren +20
The prompt optical emission that arrives with gamma-rays from a cosmic gamma-ray burst (GRB) is a signature of the engine powering the burst, the properties of the ultra-relativist…
A contemporaneous infrared flash from a long gamma-ray burst: an echo from the central engine
C. H. Blake, J. S. Bloom, D. L. Starr +25
The explosion that results in a cosmic gamma-ray burst (GRB) is thought to produce emission from two physical processes -- the activity of the central engine gives rise to the high…
Swift's Ability to Detect Gamma-Ray Bursts
E. E. Fenimore, K. McLean, D. Palmer +7
The Swift satellite will be a self-contained observatory that will bring new capabilities to the observing of the early afterglow emission of Gamma-ray Bursts. Swift is completely…
Setting the Triggering Threshold on Swift
K. McLean, E. E. Fenimore, D. Palmer +5
Swift has two main types of ``rate'' triggers: short and long. Short trigger time scales range from 4ms to 64ms, while long triggers are 64ms to ~ 16 seconds. While both short and…
The BAT-Swift Science Software
D. M. Palmer, E. Fenimore, M. Galassi +22
The BAT instrument tells the Swift satellite where to point to make immediate follow-up observations of GRBs. The science software on board must efficiently process gamma-ray event…
