X-ray flares in the early Swift observations of the possible naked gamma-ray burst 050421
We present the Swift observations of the faint burst GRB 050421. The X-ray light-curve shows at least two flares: the first flare peaking at ∼110 s after the BAT trigger (T0) and the second one peaking at ∼154 s. The first flare presents a flux variation of δF/Fpeak ∼ 3.7 and a short timescale ratio δt/tpeak ∼ 0.07. The second flare is smaller and presents a flux variation of δF/Fpeak ∼ 1.7 and...
متن کاملGeV-TeV and X-ray flares from gamma-ray bursts
The recent detection of delayed X-ray flares during the afterglow phase of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) suggests an inner-engine origin, at radii inside the deceleration radius characterizing the beginning of the forward shock afterglow emission. Given the observed temporal overlapping between the flares and afterglows, there must be inverse Compton (IC) emission arising from such flare photons scat...
متن کاملObservations of X-ray Flares from Gamma Ray Bursts
Swift-XRT observations of the X-ray emission from gamma ray bursts (GRBs) and during the GRB afterglow have led to many new results during the past two years. One of these exciting results is that ∼1/3− 1/2 of GRBs contain detectable X-ray flares. The mean fluence of the X-ray flares is ∼10× less than that of the initial prompt emission, but in some cases the flare is as energetic as the prompt...
متن کاملLinearly Polarized X-ray Flares following Short Gamma-ray Bursts
Soft X-ray flares were detected to follow the short-duration gamma-ray burst GRB 050724. The temporal properties of the flares suggest that they are likely due to the late time activity of the central engine. We argue that if short GRBs are generated through compact star mergers, as is supported by the recent observations, the jet powering the late X-ray flares must be launched via magnetic pro...
متن کاملGamma-ray and Hard X-ray Imaging of Solar Flares
We discuss the scientific and technical aspects of high-resolution γ-ray and X-ray imaging of solar flares. The scientific necessity for imaging observations of solar flares and the implications of future observations for the study of solar flare electrons and ions are considered. Performance parameters for a future hard X-ray and γ-ray imager are then summarized. We briefly survey techniques f...
