Swift Observations of GRB050603: An afterglow with a steep late time decay slope
We report the results of Swift observations of the Gamma Ray Burst GRB050603. With a V magnitude V=18.2 about 10 hours after the burst the optical afterglow was the brightest so far detected by Swift and one of the brightest optical afterglows ever seen. The Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) light curves show three fast-rise-exponential-decay spikes with T90=12s and a fluence of 7.6×10 ergs cm in the...
متن کاملTesting 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 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 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...
متن کاملThe Edge of a GRB Afterglow
We discuss the formation of spectral features in the decelerating ejecta of gamma-ray bursts, including the possible effect of inhomogeneities. These should lead to blueshifted and broadened absorption edges and resonant features, especially from H and He. An external neutral ISM could produce detectable H and He, as well as Fe X-ray absorption edges and lines. Hypernova scenarios may be diagno...
