Evidence for a canonical gamma-ray burst afterglow light curve in the Swift XRT data
- J. Nousek, C. Kouveliotou, +25 authors A. Wells
- Physics
- 1 May 2006
We present new observations of the early X-ray afterglows of the first 27 gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) well observed by the Swift X-Ray Telescope (XRT). The early X-ray afterglows show a canonical… Expand
Bright X-ray Flares in Gamma-Ray Burst Afterglows
- D. Burrows, P. Romano, +31 authors N. Gehrels
- Physics, Medicine
- Science
- 7 June 2005
Gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglows have provided important clues to the nature of these massive explosive events, providing direct information on the nearby environment and indirect information on the… Expand
NuSTAR DISCOVERY OF A 3.76 s TRANSIENT MAGNETAR NEAR SAGITTARIUS A
- K. Mori, E. Gotthelf, +20 authors W. Zhang
- Physics
- 8 May 2013
We report the discovery of 3.76 s pulsations from a new burst source near Sgr A^* observed by the NuSTAR observatory. The strong signal from SGR J1745–29 presents a complex pulse profile modulated… Expand
The 22 Month Swift-BAT All-Sky Hard X-ray Survey
- J. Tueller, W. Baumgartner, +36 authors L. Winter
- Physics
- 18 March 2009
We present the catalog of sources detected in the first 22 months of data from the hard X-ray survey (14-195 keV) conducted with the Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) coded mask imager on the Swift… Expand
Swift Discovery of a New Soft Gamma Repeater, SGR J1745-29, near Sagittarius A*
- J. Kennea, D. Burrows, +10 authors N. Gehrels
- Physics
- 9 May 2013
Starting in 2013 February, Swift has been performing short daily monitoring observations of the G2 gas cloud near Sgr A* with the X-Ray Telescope to determine whether the cloud interaction leads to… Expand
Swift and infra-red observations of the blazar 3C 454.3 during the giant X-ray flare of May 2005
- P. Giommi, A. Blustin, +16 authors R. Sambruna
- Physics
- 13 June 2006
We present the results of a series of Swift and quasi simultaneous ground-based infra-red observations of the blazar 3C 454.3 carried out in April-May 2005 when the source was 10 to 30 times brighter… Expand
The prompt-afterglow connection in gamma-ray bursts: a comprehensive statistical analysis of Swift X-ray light curves
- R. Margutti, E. Zaninoni, +20 authors M. Stamatikos
- Physics
- 5 March 2012
We present a comprehensive statistical analysis of Swift X-ray light-curves of GammaRay Bursts (GRBs) collecting data from more than 650 GRBs discovered by Swift and other facilities. The… Expand
A glimpse of the end of the dark ages: the gamma-ray burst of 23 April 2009 at redshift 8.3
It is thought that the first generations of massive stars in the Universe were an important, and quite possibly dominant, source of the ultra-violet radiation that reionized the hydrogen gas in the… Expand
A Multimessenger Picture of the Flaring Blazar TXS 0506+056: Implications for High-energy Neutrino Emission and Cosmic-Ray Acceleration
- A. Keivani, K. Murase, +14 authors C. F. Turley
- Physics
- 12 July 2018
Detection of the IceCube-170922A neutrino coincident with the flaring blazar TXS 0506+056, the first and only ∼3σ high-energy neutrino source association to date, offers a potential breakthrough in… Expand
TIMING AND FLUX EVOLUTION OF THE GALACTIC CENTER MAGNETAR SGR J1745–2900
