Swift detects a remarkable gamma-ray burst, GRB 060614, that introduces a new classification scheme
N. Gehrels, J. P. Norris, V. Mangano +19
Gamma ray bursts (GRBs) are known to come in two duration classes, separated at ~2 s. Long bursts originate from star forming regions in galaxies, have accompanying supernovae (SNe…
GRO J1655-40: Early Stages of the 2005 Outburst
N. Shaposhnikov, J. Swank, C. R. Shrader +4
The black-hole X-ray binary transient GRO J1655-40 underwent an outburst beginning in early 2005. We present the results of our multi-wavelength observational campaign to study the…
Swift/BAT and RXTE Observations of the Peculiar X-ray Binary 4U 2206+54 - Disappearance of the 9.6 Day Modulation
R. H. D. Corbet, C. B. Markwardt, J. Tueller
Observations of the high-mass X-ray binary 4U 2206+54 with the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) do not show modulation at the previously reported period of 9.6 days found from obs…
Are Short GRBs Really Hard?
T. Sakamoto, L. Barbier, S. Barthelmy +19
Thanks to the rapid position notice and response by HETE-2 and Swift, the X-ray afterglow emissions have been found for four recent short gamma-ray bursts (GRBs; GRB 050509b, GRB 0…
Optical, Infrared, and Ultraviolet Observations of the X-Ray Flash GRB 050416A
S. T. Holland, P. T. Boyd, J. Gorosabel +25
We present ultraviolet, optical, and infrared photometry of the afterglow of the X-ray flash XRF 050416A taken between approximately 100 seconds and 36 days after the burst. We fin…
Discovery of an Extreme MeV Blazar with the Swift Burst Alert Telescope
Rita M. Sambruna
The Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) onboard Swift detected bright emission from 15--195 keV from the source SWIFT~J0746.3+2548 (J0746 in the following), identified with the optically-f…
