Sgrj1550− 5418 Bursts Detected with the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor during Its Most Prolific Activity
We have performed detailed temporal and time-integrated spectral analysis of 286 bursts from SGRJ1550− 5418 detected with the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) in January 2009, resulting in the largest uniform sample of temporal and spectral properties of SGRJ1550− 5418 bursts. We have used the combination of broadband and high time-resolution data provided with GBM to perform statistical stu...
متن کاملFermi-LAT Observations of Gamma-Ray Bursts
The Large Area Telescope (LAT) on the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope observatory is a pair conversion telescope sensitive to gamma-rays over more than four energy decades, between 20 MeV and more than 300 GeV. Acting in synergy with the Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) the other instrument onboard the mission the LAT features unprecedented sensitivity for the study of gammaray bursts (GRBs) in te...
متن کاملThe Fermi-gbm X-ray Burst Monitor: Thermonuclear Bursts
Thermonuclear bursts from slowly accreting neutron stars (NSs) have proven difficult to detect, yet they are potential probes of the thermal properties of the neutron star interior. During the first year of a systematic all-sky search for X-ray bursts using the Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) aboard the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope we have detected 15 thermonuclear bursts from the NS low-mass ...
متن کاملGamma Ray Bursts and the Fermi Gamma Ray Space Telescope : Notes to the La Plata Lectures
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are a mixed class of sources consisting of, at least, the long duration and short-hard subclasses, the Xray flashes, and the low-luminosity GRBs. In all cases, the release of enormous amounts of energy on a short timescale makes an energetic, relativistic or mildly relativistic fireball that expands until it reaches a coasting Lorentz factor determined by the amount of b...
متن کاملGamma Ray Burst Predictions for the Fermi Gamma Ray Space Telescope
Results of a phenomenological model to estimate the GRB detection rate by the Fermi Gamma ray Space Telescope are reported. This estimate is based on the BATSE 4B GRB fluence distribution, the mean ratio of fluences measured at 100 MeV – 5 GeV with EGRET and at 20 keV – 2 MeV with BATSE, and the mean EGRET GRB spectrum for the 5 EGRET spark-chamber GRBs. For a 10% fluence ratio and a number spe...
