Detecting Magnetar Giant Flares with MoonBEAM

O. J. Roberts, E. Burns, A. Goldstein +1

Magnetars are slowly-rotating neutron stars with extremely strong magnetic fields that rarely produce extremely bright, energetic giant flares. Magnetar Giant Flares (MGFs) begin w…

On the interpretation of the Fermi GBM transient observed in coincidence with LIGO Gravitational Wave Event GW150914

V. Connaughton, E. Burns, A. Goldstein +25

The weak transient detected by the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) 0.4 s after GW150914 has generated much speculation regarding its possible association with the black-hole bi…
