Fermi-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 کاملPrompt Optical Observations of Gamma-Ray Bursts.
The Robotic Optical Transient Search Experiment (ROTSE) seeks to measure simultaneous and early afterglow optical emission from gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). A search for optical counterparts to six GRBs with localization errors of 1 deg2 or better produced no detections. The earliest limiting sensitivity is mROTSE>13.1 at 10.85 s (5 s exposure) after the gamma-ray rise, and the best limit is mROTSE...
متن کاملSwift observations of gamma-ray bursts.
Since its launch on 20 November 2004, the Swift mission has been detecting approximately 100 gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) each year, and immediately (within approx. 90s) starting simultaneous X-ray and UV/optical observations of the afterglow. It has already collected an impressive database, including prompt emission to higher sensitivities than BATSE, uniform monitoring of afterglows and a rapid fo...
متن کاملObservations of short gamma-ray bursts.
We review recent observations of short-hard gamma-ray bursts and their afterglows. The launch and successful ongoing operations of the Swift satellite, along with several localizations from the High-Energy Transient Explorer mission, have provoked a revolution in short-burst studies: first, by quickly providing high-quality positions to observers; and second, via rapid and sustained observation...
متن کاملBatse Observations of Gamma-ray Bursts
Gamma-ray bursts are currently perhaps the most mysterious phenomenon in the universe, once thought to originate on neutron stars in the plane of our galaxy. The BATSE instrument on CGRO does not observe the key prediction of this hypothesis; the data favor a population of sources either at cosmological distances or in an extended galactic halo. In this review, I present the observations upon w...
