Intrinsic spectra and energetics of BeppoSAX Gamma-Ray Bursts with known redshifts
- L. Amati, F. Frontera, +13 authors P. Soffitta
- Physics
- 15 May 2002
We present the main results of a study of spectral and energetics properties of twelve gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) with redshift estimates. All GRBs in our sample were detected by BeppoSAX in a broad… Expand
Spectral constraints on the redshift of the optical counterpart to the γ-ray burst of 8 May 1997
- M. R. Metzger, S. Djorgovski, +5 authors F. Frontera
- Physics
- Nature
- 26 June 1997
Brief, intense bursts of γ-rays occur approximately daily from random directions in space, but their origin has remained unknown since their initial detection almost 25 years ago. Arguments based on… Expand
The high energy instrument PDS on-board the BeppoSAX X{ray astronomy satellite
- F. Frontera, E. Costa, +5 authors G. Zavattini
- Physics
- 1 April 1997
BeppoSAX/PDS experiment is one of four narrow eld instruments of the BeppoSAX payload, that also includes two wide eld cameras. The goal of PDS is to extend the energy range of BeppoSAX to hard… Expand
JEM-X: The X-ray monitor aboard INTEGRAL ?
- N. Lund, C. Budtz-Jørgensen, +51 authors H. Schnopper
- Physics
- 1 November 2003
The JEM-X monitor provides X-ray spectra and imaging with arcminute angular resolution in the 3 to 35 keV band. The good angular resolution and the low energy response of JEM-X plays an important… Expand
Observation of contemporaneous optical radiation from a γ-ray burst
- C. Akerlof, R. Balsano, +18 authors J. Wren
- Physics
- Nature
- 17 March 1999
The origin of γ-ray bursts (GRBs) has been enigmatic since their discovery. The situation improved dramatically in 1997, when the rapid availability of precise coordinates, for the bursts allowed the… Expand
Discovery of an X-ray afterglow associated with the γ-ray burst of 28 February 1997
- E. Costa, F. Frontera, +23 authors R. C. Butler
- Physics
- Nature
- 19 June 1997
Establishing the nature of γ-ray bursts is one of the greatest challenges in high-energy astrophysics. The distribution of these bursts is isotropic across the sky, but inhomogeneous in space, with a… Expand
A hypernova model for the supernova associated with the γ-ray burst of 25 April 1998
- K. Iwamoto, P. A. Mazzali, +24 authors F. Frontera
- Physics
- Nature
- 30 June 1998
The discovery of the unusual supernova SN1998bw, and its possible association with the γ-ray burst GRB 980425, provide new insights into the explosion mechanism of very massive stars and the origin… Expand
Identification of a host galaxy at redshift z = 3.42 for the γ-ray burst of 14 December 1997
- S. Kulkarni, S. Djorgovski, +13 authors J. Newman
- Physics
- Nature
- 7 May 1998
Knowledge of the properties of γ-ray bursts has increased substantially following recent detections of counterparts at X-ray, optical and radio wavelengths. But the nature of the underlying physical… Expand
Gamma Ray Bursts in the Afterglow Era
- F. Frontera
- Physics
- 20 December 2003
In this review paper I will summarize some of the relevant results obtained with the Italian satellite BeppoSAX on the prompt and afterglow emission of Gamma Ray Bursts. I will also discuss the most… Expand
Simultaneous Multiwavelength Observations of the Low/Hard State of the X-Ray Transient Source SWIFT J1753.5-0127
- M. C. Bel, M. Ribo, +11 authors I. F. Mirabel
- Physics
- 20 December 2006
We report the results of simultaneous multiwavelength observations of the X-ray transient source SWIFT J1753.5-0127 performed with INTEGRAL, RXTE, NTT, REM, and VLA on 2005 August 10-12. The source,… Expand
