The first Swift X-ray Flash: The faint afterglow of XRF 050215B [PDF]

, 2006
We present the discovery of XRF 050215B and its afterglow. The burst was detected by the Swift BAT during the check-out phase and observations with the X-ray telescope began approximately 30 minutes after the burst.

X-ray Flashes or soft Gamma-ray Bursts? The case of the likely distant XRF 040912 [PDF]

, 2006
In this work, we present a multi-wavelength study of XRF 040912, aimed at measuring its distance scale and the intrinsic burst properties. We performed a detailed spectral and temporal analysis of both the prompt and the afterglow emission and we ...

Could the GRB-Supernovae GRB 031203 and XRF 060218 be Cosmic Twins? [PDF]

, 2010
The gamma-ray burst (GRB) / X-ray flash (XRF) events GRB 031203, discovered by INTEGRAL, and XRF 060218, discovered by Swift, represent two of only five GRB-SNe with optical spectroscopic confirmation of their SN components.

Global Characteristics of X-Ray Flashes and X-Ray-Rich GRBs Observed by HETE-2 [PDF]

, 2004
We describe and discuss the global properties of 45 gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) observed by HETE-2 during the first three years of its mission, focusing on the properties of X-Ray Flashes (XRFs) and X-ray-rich GRBs (XRRs).

Delayed Flashes from Counter Jets of Gamma Ray Bursts [PDF]

, 2002
If X-ray flashes are due to the forward jet emissions from gamma ray bursts (GRBs) observed with large viewing angles, we show that a prompt emission from a counter jet should be observed as a delayed flash in the UV or optical band several hours to a ...
