The Scientific Performance of the MoonBurst Energetics All-sky Monitor(MoonBEAM)

C. Fletcher, C. M. Hui, A. Goldstein +1

MoonBEAM is a SmallSat concept placed in cislunar orbit developed to study the progenitors and multimessenger/multiwavelength signals of transient relativistic jets and outflows an…

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…

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…

GRB 221009A, The BOAT

Eric Burns, Dmitry Svinkin, Edward Fenimore +23

GRB 221009A has been referred to as the Brightest Of All Time (the BOAT). We investigate the veracity of this statement by comparing it with a half century of prompt gamma-ray burs…

In search of short gamma-ray burst optical counterpart with the Zwicky Transient Facility

Tomás Ahumada, Shreya Anand, Michael W. Coughlin +46

The Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) triggers on-board in response to 40 short gamma-ray bursts (SGRBs) per year; however, their large localization regions have made the…

The Future of Gamma-Ray Experiments in the MeV-EeV Range

Kristi Engel, Jordan Goodman, Petra Huentemeyer +95

Gamma-rays, the most energetic photons, carry information from the far reaches of extragalactic space with minimal interaction or loss of information. They bring messages about par…

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…

A radiatively-quiet glitch and anti-glitch in the magnetar 1E 2259+586

G. Younes, P. S. Ray, M. G. Baring +5

We report on the timing and spectral properties of the soft X-ray emission from the magnetar 1E 2259+586 from January 2013, months after the detection of an anti-glitch, u…

Evaluation of Automated Fermi GBM Localizations of Gamma-ray Bursts

Adam Goldstein, Corinne Fletcher, Peter Veres +14

The capability of the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) to localize gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) is evaluated for two different automated algorithms: the GBM Team's RoboBA algorithm a…

Whole Earth Telescope discovery of a strongly distorted quadrupole pulsation in the largest amplitude rapidly oscillating Ap star

Daniel L. Holdsworth, Donald W. Kurtz, Hideyuki Saio +7

We present a new analysis of the rapidly oscillating Ap (roAp) star, 2MASS J (J1940; ). The star was discovered using SuperWASP broadband photometry to ha…

Investigating the Magnetospheres of Rapidly Rotating B-type Stars

C. L. Fletcher, V. Petit, Y. Naze +6

Recent spectropolarimetric surveys of bright, hot stars have found that ~10% of OB-type stars contain strong (mostly dipolar) surface magnetic fields (~kG). The prominent paradigm…

Magnetic B stars observed with BRITE: Spots, magnetospheres, binarity, and pulsations

G. A. Wade, D. H. Cohen, C. Fletcher +16

Magnetic B-type stars exhibit photometric variability due to diverse causes, and consequently on a variety of timescales. In this paper we describe interpretation of BRITE photomet…
