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…
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…
Analysis of Line Candidates in Gamma-Ray Bursts Observed by BATSE
M. S. Briggs, D. L. Band, R. D. Preece +2
A comprehensive search of BATSE Spectroscopy Detector data from 117 GRBs has uncovered 13 statistically significant line candidates. The case of a candidate in GRB 930916 is discus…
Spectral Hardness Decay with Respect to Fluence in BATSE Gamma-Ray Bursts
A. Crider, E. P. Liang, R. D. Preece +5
We have analyzed the evolution of the spectral hardness parameter Epk as a function of fluence in gamma-ray bursts. We fit 41 pulses within 26 bursts with the trend reported by Lia…
