DISCERNING THE PHYSICAL ORIGINS OF COSMOLOGICAL GAMMA-RAY BURSTS BASED ON MULTIPLE OBSERVATIONAL CRITERIA: THE CASES OF z = 6.7 GRB 080913, z = 8.2 GRB 090423, AND SOME SHORT/HARD GRBs

TL;DR: In this article, two high-redshift gamma-ray bursts, GRB 080913 at 6.7 and GRB 090423 at 8.2, recently detected by Swift appear as intrinsically short, hard GRBs.

TL;DR: The Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) is an excellent partner in the search for electromagnetic counterparts to gravitational-wave (GW) events as mentioned in this paper, with an instantaneous view of 70% of the sky.
Journal ArticleDOI
Discerning the physical origins of cosmological Gamma-ray bursts based on multiple observational criteria: the cases of z=6.7 GRB 080913, z=8.3 GRB 090423, and some short/hard GRBs
Bing Zhang,Bin-Bin Zhang,Francisco J. Virgili,En-Wei Liang,D. Alexander Kann,Xue-Feng Wu,Daniel Proga,Hou-Jun Lv,Kenji Toma,Peter Mészáros,David N. Burrows,Peter W. A. Roming,Neil Gehrels +12 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors perform a more thorough investigation on two physically distinct types (Type I/II) of cosmological GRBs and their observational characteristics, and they suggest that GRB 080913 and GRB 090423 are more likely Type II events.
Journal ArticleDOI

Judith Racusin,E. W. Liang,E. W. Liang,David N. Burrows,A. D. Falcone,T. Sakamoto,Bin-Bin Zhang,Bing Zhang,Phil Evans,J. P. Osborne +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a systematic temporal and spectral study of all Swift-X-ray Telescope observations of gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglows discovered between 2005 January and 2007 December.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Comprehensive Analysis of Swift XRT Data. II. Diverse Physical Origins of the Shallow Decay Segment
TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed the properties of the shallow decay segment in Swift XRT light curves and concluded that the observed shallow decay phase likely has diverse physical origins, likely a refreshed external shock.
