Measurements of Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) with Glast
G. G. Lichti, M. Briggs, R. Diehl +9
One of the scientific goals of the main instrument of GLAST is the study of Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) in the energy range from ~20 MeV to ~300 GeV. In order to extend the energy meas…
The GLAST Burst Monitor (GBM)
G. G. Lichti, M. S. Briggs, R. Diehl +9
The selection of the GLAST burst monitor (GBM) by NASA will allow the investigation of the relation between the keV and the MeV-GeV emission from gamma-ray bursts. The GBM consists…
Gamma-Ray Burst Lines
Michael S. Briggs
The evidence for spectral features in gamma-ray bursts is summarized. As a guide for evaluating the evidence, the properties of gamma-ray detectors and the methods of analyzing gam…
Localizations of Thirteen Gamma-ray Bursts by the All-Sky Monitor on RXTE
D. A. Smith, A. M. Levine, H. V. Bradt +9
The All-Sky Monitor (ASM) on the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) has been used to localize thirteen confirmed X-ray counterparts to Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) detected over three y…
The Role of the BATSE Instrument Response in Creating the Gamma-Ray Burst E-Peak Distribution
J. J. Brainerd, G. Pendleton, R. Mallozzi +2
All gamma-ray bursts are observed to have approximately the same characteristic gamma-ray energy. We show in this article that for bursts in the BATSE data set, this property as me…
Spectral Energy Distributions and Light Curves of GRB 990123 and its Afterglow
T. J. Galama, M. S. Briggs, R. A. M. J. Wijers +38
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are thought to result from the interaction of an extremely relativistic outflow interacting with a small amount of material surrounding the site of the expl…
