Journal ArticleDOI
Calibration of X-ray absorption in our Galaxy
TL;DR: In this paper, a simple function, dependent on the product of the atomic hydrogen column density, N(HI), and dust extinction, E(B-V), was derived to estimate the variation of the molecular hydrogen column densities over the sky.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reported the detection of the X-ray afterglow from the short burst GRB 050509B and its location on the sky is near a luminous, non-star-forming elliptical galaxy at a redshift of 0.225.

TL;DR: Two bright x-ray flares in GRB afterglows, including a giant flare comparable in total energy to the burst itself, each peaking minutes after the burst, imply that the central engines of the bursts have long periods of activity.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present observations of GRB 060124, the first event for which both the prompt and the afterglow emission could be observed simultaneously and in their entirety by the three Swift instruments.
