The Structure of Gamma Ray Burst Jets

Galaxies, 2022
Due to relativistic bulk motion, the structure and orientation of gamma-ray burst (GRB) jets have a fundamental role in determining how they appear.

The Fourth Fermi-GBM Gamma-Ray Burst Catalog: A Decade of Data [PDF]

Astrophysical Journal, 2020
We present the fourth in a series of catalogs of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) observed with Fermi’s Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (Fermi-GBM). It extends the six year catalog by four more years, now covering the 10 year time period from trigger enabling on 2008 ...

A Roadmap to Gamma-Ray Bursts: New Developments and Applications to Cosmology

Galaxies, 2021
Gamma-ray bursts are the most powerful explosions in the universe and are mainly placed at very large redshifts, up to z≃9. In this short review, we first discuss gamma-ray burst classification and morphological properties.

Critical Tests of Leading Gamma Ray Burst Theories

Universe, 2022
It has been observationally established that supernovae (SNe) of Type Ic produce long duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and that neutron star mergers generate short hard GRBs.

Swift/UVOT: 18 Years of Long GRB Discoveries and Advances

Universe, 2023
The Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory (Swift) has been in operation for 18 years. The Ultra-Violet/Optical Telescope (UVOT) onboard Swift was designed to capture the earliest optical/UV emission from gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), spanning the first few minutes ...

The Swift Gamma-Ray Burst Mission [PDF]

, 2004
The Swift mission, scheduled for launch in 2004, is a multiwavelength observatory for gamma-ray burst (GRB) astronomy. It is a first-of-its-kind autonomous rapid-slewing satellite for transient astronomy and pioneers the way for future rapid-reaction and

GRB 221009A: The BOAT

The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
GRB 221009A has been referred to as the brightest of all time (BOAT). We investigate the veracity of this statement by comparing it with a half century of prompt gamma-ray burst observations.

Deep Multimessenger Search for Compact Binary Mergers in LIGO, Virgo, and Fermi/GBM Data from 2016–2017

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
GW170817–GRB 170817A provided the first observation of gravitational waves from a neutron star merger with associated transient counterparts across the entire electromagnetic spectrum. This discovery demonstrated the long-hypothesized association between

An Ordinary Short Gamma-Ray Burst with Extraordinary Implications: Fermi-GBM Detection of GRB 170817A [PDF]

, 2017
On 2017 August 17 at 12:41:06 UTC the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) detected and triggered on the short gamma-ray burst (GRB) 170817A. Approximately 1.7 s prior to this GRB, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory triggered on a ...

Spectra and Light Curves of Gamma-Ray Burst Afterglows [PDF]

, 1997
The recently discovered gamma-ray burst afterglow is believed to be described reasonably well by synchrotron emission from a decelerating relativistic shell that collides with an external medium. To compare theoretical models with afterglow observations,
