Confirmation of the $\eps$ -- $\eiso$ (Amati) relation from the X-ray flash XRF 050416A observed by Swift/BAT
T. Sakamoto, L. Barbier, S. D. Barthelmy +10
We report Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) observations of the X-ray Flash (XRF) XRF 050416A. The fluence ratio between the 15-25 keV and 25-50 keV energy bands of this event is 1…
GRB 050117: Simultaneous Gamma-ray and X-ray Observations with the Swift Satellite
J. E. Hill, D. C. Morris, T. Sakamoto +32
The Swift Gamma-Ray Burst Explorer performed its first autonomous, X-ray follow-up to a newly detected GRB on 2005 January 17, within 193 seconds of the burst trigger by the Swift…
The Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) on the Swift MIDEX Mission
S. D. Barthelmy, L. M. Barbier, J. R. Cummings +12
The Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) is one of 3 instruments on the Swift MIDEX spacecraft to study gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). The BAT first detects the GRB and localizes the burst direct…
Chandra Deep X-ray Observation of a Typical Galactic Plane Region and Near-Infrared Identification
K. Ebisawa, M. Tsujimoto, A. Paizis +13
Using the Chandra Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer Imaging array (ACIS-I), we have carried out a deep hard X-ray observation of the Galactic plane region at (l,b) ~ (28.5, 0.0), w…
A short gamma-ray burst apparently asssociated with an elliptical galaxy at redshift z=0.225
N. Gehrels
Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) are bright, brief flashes of high energy photons that have fascinated scientists for 30 years. They come in two classes: long (>2 s), softspectrum bursts an…
Gamma-Ray Observations of a Giant Flare from The Magnetar SGR 1806-20
D. M. Palmer, S. Barthelmy, N. Gehrels +25
Magnetars comprise two classes of rotating neutron stars (Soft Gamma Repeaters (SGRs) and Anomalous X-ray Pulsars), whose X-ray emission is powered by an ultrastrong magnetic field…
