The X–ray afterglow of GRB030329 at early and late times
نویسنده
چکیده
Thanks to its extraordinary brightness, the X-ray afterglow of GRB030329 could be studied by XMM-Newton up to two months after the prompt Gamma-ray emission. We present the results of two XMM-Newton observations performed on May 5 and 29, as well as an analysis of the Rossi-XTE data of the early part of the afterglow, discussing in particular the stability of the X–ray spectrum and presenting upper limits on the presence of X–ray emission lines.

Accurate Calorimetry of GRB030329
We report late-time observations of the radio afterglow of GRB 030329. The light curves show a clear achromatic flattening at 50 days after the explosion. We interpret this flattening as resulting from the blast wave becoming transrelativistic. Modeling of this transition enables us to make estimates of the energy content of the burst, regardless of the initial jet structure or the distribution...
متن کاملThe Radio Afterglow of Grb030329 at Centimeter Wavelengths: Evidence for a Structured Jet or Non-relativistic Expansion
We present our centimeter wavelength (1.4, 2.3 and 4.8 GHz) light curves of the afterglow of GRB030329, which were obtained with the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope. Modeling the data according to a collimated afterglow results in a jet-break time of 10 days. This is in accordance with earlier results obtained at higher radio frequencies. However, with respect to the afterglow model, some ...
متن کاملA New Astrophysical “Triptych”: GRB030329/SN2003dh/URCA-2
We analyze the data of the Gamma-Ray Burst/Supernova GRB030329/SN2003dh system obtained by HETE-2 (gcn [1]), R-XTE (gcn [2]), XMM (Tiengo et al. [3]) and VLT (Hjorth et al. [4]) within our theory (Ruffini et al. [5] and references therein) for GRB030329. By fitting the only three free parameters of the EMBH theory, we obtain the luminosity in fixed energy bands for the prompt emission and the a...
متن کاملThe Troublesome Broadband Evolution of GRB 061126: Does a Grey Burst Imply Grey Dust?
We report on observations of gamma-ray burst (GRB061126) with an extremely bright (R ≈ 12 mag at peak) early-time optical afterglow. The optical afterglow is already fading as a power-law 22 seconds after the trigger, with no detectable prompt contribution in our first exposure, which was coincident with a large prompt-emission pulse. The optical-IR photometric SED is an excellent fit to a powe...
متن کاملThe late-time afterglow of the extremely energetic short burst GRB 090510 revisited
Context. The Swift discovery of the short burst GRB 090510 has raised considerable attention mainly because of two reasons: first, it had a bright optical afterglow, and second it is among the most energetic events detected so far within the entire GRB population (long plus short). The afterglow of GRB 090510 was observed with Swift/UVOT and Swift/XRT and evidence of a jet break around 1.5 ks a...
