GRB 221009A: the B.O.A.T Burst that Shines in Gamma Rays

M. Axelsson, M. Ajello, M. Arimoto +151

We present a complete analysis of Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) data of GRB 221009A, the brightest Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) ever detected. The burst emission above 30 MeV detected…

Exploring Physically-Motivated Models to Fit Gamma-Ray Burst Spectra

Suraj Poolakkil, Robert Preece, Peter Veres

We explore fitting gamma-ray burst spectra with three physically-motivated models, and thus revisit the viability of synchrotron radiation as the primary source of GRB prompt emiss…

A Joint Fermi-GBM and Swift-BAT Analysis of Gravitational-Wave Candidates from the Third Gravitational-wave Observing Run

C. Fletcher, J. Wood, R. Hamburg +1696

We present Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (Fermi-GBM) and Swift Burst Alert Telescope (Swift-BAT) searches for gamma-ray/X-ray counterparts to gravitational wave (GW) candidate even…

Extreme Variability in a Long Duration Gamma-ray Burst Associated with a Kilonova

P. Veres, P. N. Bhat, E. Burns +19

The recent discovery of a kilonova from the long duration gamma-ray burst, GRB 211211A, challenges classification schemes based on temporal information alone. Gamma-ray properties…

Fermi-GBM Discovery of GRB 221009A: An Extraordinarily Bright GRB from Onset to Afterglow

S. Lesage, P. Veres, M. S. Briggs +136

We report the discovery of GRB 221009A, the highest flux gamma-ray burst ever observed by the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM). This GRB has continuous prompt emission lasting m…

The Fermi GBM Gamma-Ray Burst Spectral Catalog: 10 Years of Data

S. Poolakkil, R. Preece, C. Fletcher +17

We present the systematic spectral analyses of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) detected by the Fermi Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor (GBM) during its first ten years of operation. This catalog con…

The Fourth Fermi-GBM Gamma-Ray Burst Catalog: A Decade of Data

A. von Kienlin, C. A. Meegan, W. S. Paciesas +18

We present the fourth in a series of catalogs of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) observed with Fermi's Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor (Fermi-GBM). It extends the six year catalog by four more yea…

An Ordinary Short Gamma-Ray Burst with Extraordinary Implications: Fermi-GBM Detection of GRB 170817A

A. Goldstein, P. Veres, E. Burns +27

On August 17, 2017 at 12:41:06 UTC the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) detected and triggered on the short gamma-ray burst GRB 170817A. Approximately 1.7 s prior to this GRB, t…
