Gravitational Waves and Gamma-Rays from a Binary Neutron Star Merger: GW170817 and GRB 170817A
- B. Abbott, R. Abbott, +1,148 authors P. Ubertini
- Physics
- 16 October 2017
On 2017 August 17, the gravitational-wave event GW170817 was observed by the Advanced LIGO and Virgo detectors, and the gamma-ray burst (GRB) GRB 170817A was observed independently by the Fermi… Expand
Identification of two classes of gamma-ray bursts
- C. Kouveliotou, C. Meegan, +5 authors G. Pendleton
- Physics
- 20 August 1993
We have studied the duration distribution of the gamma-ray bursts of the first BATSE catalog. We find a bimodality in the distribution, which separates GRBs into two classes: short events (less than… Expand
THE fermi gamma-ray burst monitor
- C. Meegan, G. Lichti, +18 authors C. Wilson-Hodge
- Physics
- 4 August 2009
The Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor (GBM) will significantly augment the science return from the Fermi Observatory in the study of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). The primary objective of GBM is to extend the… Expand
The Complete Spectral Catalog of Bright BATSE Gamma-Ray Bursts
We present a systematic spectral analysis of 350 bright gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) observed with the Burst and Transient Source Experiment (BATSE; ~30 keV-2 MeV) with high temporal and spectral… Expand
An Ordinary Short Gamma-Ray Burst with Extraordinary Implications: Fermi-GBM Detection of GRB 170817A
- A. Goldstein, P. Veres, +27 authors M. Stanbro
- Physics
- 16 October 2017
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, the Laser… Expand
Fermi GBM Observations of LIGO Gravitational Wave event GW150914
- V. Connaughton, E. Burns, +32 authors P. Veres
- Physics
- 11 February 2016
With an instantaneous view of 70% of the sky, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) is an excellent partner in the search for electromagnetic counterparts to gravitational-wave (GW) events. GBM… Expand
An X-ray pulsar with a superstrong magnetic field in the soft γ-ray repeater SGR1806 − 20
- C. Kouveliotou, S. Dieters, +8 authors T. Murakami
- Physics
- Nature
- 21 May 1998
Soft γ-ray repeaters (SGRs) emit multiple, brief (∼0.1-s), intense outbursts of low-energy γ-rays. They are extremely rare—three are known in our Galaxy and one in the Large Magellanic Cloud. Two… Expand
Attributes of Pulses in Long Bright Gamma-Ray Bursts

The Fourth BATSE Gamma-Ray Burst Catalog (Revised)
- W. S. Paciesas, C. Meegan, +15 authors Maitrayee Sahi
- Physics
- 13 March 1999
The Burst and Transient Source Experiment (BATSE) on the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory (CGRO) has triggered on 1637 cosmic gamma-ray bursts between 1991 April 19 and 1996 August 29. These events… Expand
The Fermi GBM Gamma-Ray Burst Spectral Catalog: Four Years of Data
- D. Gruber, A. Goldstein, +29 authors Hoi-Fung Yu
- Physics
- 20 January 2014
In this catalog we present the updated set of spectral analyses of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) detected by the Fermi Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor during its first four years of operation. It contains two… Expand
