Key Space and Ground Facilities in GRB Science

Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are short and intense flashes of γ-rays coming from deep space. GRBs were discovered more than a half century ago and now are observed across the whole electromagnetic…

Detecting Terrestrial Gamma-Ray Flashes with CubeSats: the scientific payload of the LIGHT-1 mission

Terrestrial Gamma-ray Flashes (TGFs) are a prompt, high energy, very intense natural emission of gamma rays from Earth’s atmosphere. Consisting of an upward sub-millisecond bursts of gamma rays…

A Review of Requirements for Gamma Radiation Detection in Space Using CubeSats

Initially intended as student-led projects at universities and research institutions, the CubeSats now represent a unique opportunity to access space quickly and in a cost-effective fashion. CubeSats…

Constraints on the late X-ray radiation from the low-energy gamma-ray burst of December 3, 2003: INTEGRAL data

Comparison of the INTEGRAL upper limits on the hard X-ray flux before and after the low-energy GRB 031203 with the XMM measurements of the dust-scattered radiation at lower energies suggests that a…

Polarized Gamma-Ray Emission from the Crab

These results show polarization with an electric vector aligned with the spin axis of the neutron star, demonstrating that a substantial fraction of the high-energy electrons responsible for the polarized photons are produced in a highly ordered structure close to the pulsar.

Investigating the nature of the INTEGRAL gamma-ray bursts and sub-threshold triggers with Swift follow-up

We explore the potential of the INTErnational Gamma-Ray Astrophysics Laboratory (INTEGRAL) to improve our understanding of the low-fluence regime for explosive transients, such as Gamma-ray Bursts…

GRB 140206A: the most distant polarized gamma-ray burst

The nature of the prompt gamma-ray emission of Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) is still far from being completely elucidated. The measure of linear polarization is a powerful tool that can be used to put…

The Discovery of an Evolving Dust-scattered X-Ray Halo around GRB 031203

The first detection of a time-dependent dust-scattered X-ray halo around a gamma-ray burst (GRB) was observed by XMM-Newton starting 6 hr after the burst, and the halo brightness implies an initial soft X-Ray pulse consistent with the observed GRB.

Sensitive polarimetric search for relativity violations in gamma-ray bursts.

We show that the recent measurements of linear polarization in gamma rays from GRB 930131 and GRB 960924 constrain certain types of relativity violations in photons to less than parts in 10(37),…

Search for Polarization from the Prompt Gamma-Ray Emission of GRB 041219a with SPI on INTEGRAL

Measuring the polarization of the prompt γ-ray emission from gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) can significantly improve our understanding of both the GRB emission mechanisms as well as the underlying engine…

Gamma-Ray Burst Polarization: Limits from RHESSI Measurements

Using the RHESSI satellite as a Compton polarimeter, a recent study claimed that the prompt emission of GRB 021206 was almost fully linearly polarized. This was challenged by a subsequent reanalysis.…

Dust-scattered X-ray halos around gamma-ray bursts: GRB 031203 revisited and the new case of GRB 050713A

Scattering by interstellar dust grains can produce time variable X-ray halos around gamma-ray bursts (GRB). In particular, an X-ray expanding ring is expected when a short pulse of X-ray radiation is…

Detailed polarization measurements of the prompt emission of five gamma-ray bursts

Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are the strongest explosions in the Universe since the Big Bang. They are believed to be produced either in the formation of black holes at the end of massive star…
