Methods and results of an automatic analysis of a complete sample of Swift-XRT observations of GRBs
- P. Evans, A. Beardmore, N. Tanvir
- Physics
- 18 December 2008
We present a homogeneous X-ray analysis of all 318 gamma-ray bursts detected by the X-ray telescope (XRT) on the Swift satellite up to 2008 July 23; this represents the largest sample of X-ray GRB…

Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) come in two classes: long (> 2 s), soft-spectrum bursts and short, hard events. Most progress has been made on understanding the long GRBs, which are typically observed at…
Announcement of the Swift/BAT Hard X-ray Transient Monitor
- H. Krimm, S. Holland, T. Ukwatta
- Physics
- 1 October 2006
The Swift/Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) hard X-ray transient monitor provides near real-time coverage of the X-ray sky in the energy range 15-50 keV. The BAT observes 88% of the sky each day with a…
Evidence for a canonical gamma-ray burst afterglow light curve in the Swift XRT data
- J. Nousek, C. Kouveliotou, A. Wells
- Physics
- 15 August 2005
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…
