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...

Observations of Gamma-Ray Bursts with the Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer
The role of the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) in the study of Gamma-ray Bursts (GRBs) is reviewed. Through April 2001, the All-Sky Monitor (ASM)...

X-Ray Afterglows and Features of Gamma-Ray Bursts
X-ray observations of afterglows are providing new insights on the nature of the centralsource of GRB. In this review I willfocus on observations of...

A wind environment and Lorentz factors of tens explain gamma-ray bursts X-ray plateau
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are known to have the most relativistic jets, with initial Lorentz factors in the order of a few hundreds. Many GRBs display...

On the Detectability of Delayed X-Ray Flashes from GRBs
We investigate the observability of delayed X-ray flashes predicted in currently popular GRB models as a result of the interaction of a...

Low-Mass X-ray Binaries
A large fraction of X-ray sources in our Galaxy are low-mass X-ray binaries, containing a black hole or a neutron star accreting from a...

BATSE Observations of Fast X-Ray Transients Detected by BeppoSAX-WFC
The BeppoSAX Wide Field Cameras have been successful in detecting gamma-ray bursts in the 2-26 keV energy range. While most detected bursts are also...

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...

Thermonuclear X-ray Bursts
Type-I X-ray bursts arise from unstable thermonuclear burning of accreted fuel on the surface of neutron stars. In this chapter we review the...

The X-ray luminosity function of short gamma-ray bursts
We present for the first time the X-ray luminosity function of short gamma-ray bursts (sGRBs) estimated from 22 Fermi sGRBs. We find that the...
