X-Ray Flashes and X-Ray Rich Gamma Ray Bursts
X-ray flashes are detected in the Wide Field Cameras on BeppoSAX in the energy range 2-25 keV as bright X-ray sources lasting of the order of...
-
Hypernovae and Gamma-Ray Bursts
Recently, there have been a number of candidates for the gamma-ray burst (GRB)/supernova (SN) connection (see Nomoto et al. 2001 for references)....

Gamma-Ray Bursts
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are short and intense bursts of ∼100 keV−1 MeV photons, usually followed by long-lasting decaying afterglow emission in a...

Gamma-Ray Bursts with SuperAGILE
We present the capabilities for Gamma Ray Bursts of SuperAGILE, the hard X-ray (10-40 keV) monitor of the gamma-ray mission AGILE. SuperAGILE has a...

Sources of Gamma-Ray Bursts
A serendipitous discovery of highly intense and short-lived bursts of gamma rays was made by instruments on satellites launched in the late 1960s for...
-
Quiescent Times in Gamma-Ray Bursts
A number of time histories of bright, long GRBs exhibit quiescent times, defined as those intervals between adjacent episodes of emission during...

CubeSats for Gamma-Ray Astronomy
After many years of flying in space primarily for educational purposes, CubeSats – tiny satellites with form factors corresponding to arrangements of...

Classifying Gamma-Ray Burst X-Ray Afterglows with a Variational Autoencoder
Today, over 1500 gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglows have been observed by The Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory, with light curves displaying different...
-
AGILE and Gamma-Ray Bursts
The AGILE astrophysics mission planned to be operational in 2003 will significantly contribute to the study of Gamma-Ray Bursts. AGILE is equipped...

Short Gamma-Ray Bursts Are Different
We analyze BATSE time-tagged event (TTE) data for short gamma-ray bursts (T 90 duration < 2.6 s), studying...

On the Influence of Magnetic Turbulence on the Spectra of Gamma-Ray Burst Afterglows
AbstractGamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are the phenomena of rapid energy release of enormous power associated with the collapse or merging of stars. As a...

One Year of Rapid, Precise Gamma-Ray Burst Localizations by the Interplanetary Network
We review the performance of the interplanetary network over the past year, emphasizing the GRB detection rate, and the speed and accuracy of the...

A long-duration gamma-ray burst of dynamical origin from the nucleus of an ancient galaxy
The majority of long-duration (>2 s) gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) arise from the collapse of massive stars, with a small proportion created from the...

Background Estimation in Fermi Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor Lightcurves Through a Neural Network
The aim of this work is to propose a Machine Learning approach to estimate a background model for the Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor (GBM) of the Fermi...

Efficiency and Spectrum of Internal $\gamma$ -Ray Burst Shocks
We present an analysis of the Internal Shock Model of GRBs, where gammarays are produced by internal shocks within a relativistic wind. We show that...
