Classification of Swift’s gamma-ray bursts
Context. Two classes of gamma-ray bursts have been identified in the BATSE catalogs characterized by durations shorter and longer than about 2 s. There are, however, some indications for the existence of a third class. Swift satellite detectors have different spectral sensitivity than pre-Swift ones for gamma-ray bursts. Therefore we reanalyze the durations and their distribution and also the c...
متن کاملClassification of BeppoSAX’s Gamma-Ray Bursts
The BeppoSAX Catalog has been very recently published. In this paper we analyze using the Maximum Likelihood (ML) method the duration distribution of the 1003 GRBs listed in the catalog with duration. The ML method can identify the long and the intermediate duration groups. The short population of the bursts is identified only at a 96% significance level. MC simulation has been also applied and...
متن کاملGamma-Ray Bursts: Old and New
Gamma-ray bursts are sudden releases of energy that for a duration of a few seconds outshine even huge galaxies. 30 years after the first detection of a gamma-ray burst their origin remains a mystery. Here I first review the “old” problems which have baffled astronomers over decades, and then report on the “new” exciting discoveries of afterglow emission at longer wavelengths which have raised ...
متن کاملGRBlog: A Database for Gamma-Ray Bursts
GRBlog is an on-line database providing researchers with quick access to all information reported in the GCN Circulars. Users of the GRBlog web site (grad40.as.utexas.edu/grblog.php) can search the circulars and produce afterglow light curve plots, or compile data tables. The site also offers advanced search capabilities to aide in statistical studies or comparative research. Most of the GCNs h...
متن کاملA “Spiffy” Trigger for Gamma-Ray Bursts
The traditional design of trigger algorithms for GRB experiments requires the specification of the background an Here we describe a new triggering approach in which the times at which the background and burst samples are a A “Spiffy” Trigger for Gamma-Ray Bursts Carlo Graziani
