Testing GRB models with the strange afterglow of GRB 090102
We present the observations of the afterglow of gamma-ray burst GRB 090102. We use optical data taken by the TAROT, REM, GROND, Palomar and NOT telescopes, and X-ray data taken by the XRT instrument on board the Swift spacecraft. This event features an unusual light curve. In X-rays, it presents a very monotonic decrease with no hint of temporal break from 0.005 to 6 days after the burst. In op...
متن کاملMAGIC observation of the GRB 080430 afterglow
Context. Gamma-ray bursts are cosmological sources emitting radiation from the gamma-rays to the radio band. Substantial observational efforts have been devoted to the study of gamma-ray bursts during the prompt phase, i.e. the initial burst of high-energy radiation, and during the longlasting afterglows. In spite of many successes in interpreting these phenomena, there are still several open k...
متن کاملThe GeV afterglow of GRB
We study the emission of the short/hard GRB 090510 at energies > 0.1 GeV as observed by the Large Area Telescope (LAT) onboard the Fermi satellite. The GeV flux rises in time as t 2 and decays as t −1.5 up to 200 s. The peak of the high energy flux is delayed by 0.2 s with respect to the main ∼MeV pulse detected by the Fermi Gamma Burst Monitor (GBM). Its energy spectrum is consistent with F (ν...
متن کاملLOTIS Upper Limits and the Prompt OT from GRB 990123
GRB 990123 established the existence of prompt optical emission from gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). The Livermore Optical Transient Imaging System (LOTIS) has been conducting a fully automated search for this kind of simultaneous low energy emission from GRBs since October 1996. Although LOTIS has obtained simultaneous, or near simultaneous, coverage of the error boxes obtained with BATSE, IPN, XTE, ...
متن کاملThe afterglow onset for GRB 060418 and GRB 060607 A
Gamma-ray burst are thought to be produced by highly relativistic outflows. Although upper and lower limits for the outflow initial Lorentz factor Γ0 are available, observational efforts to derive a direct determination of Γ0 have so far failed or provided ambiguous results. As a matter of fact, the shape of the early-time afterglow light curve is strongly sensitive on Γ0 which determines the t...
