TL;DR: A homogeneous X-rays analysis of all 318 gamma-ray bursts detected by the X-ray telescope (XRT) on the Swift satellite up to 2008 July 23 is presented; this represents the largest sample ofX-ray GRB data published to date.

TL;DR: A supernova is caught in the act of exploding, directly observing the shock break-out, which indicates that the GRB progenitor was a Wolf–Rayet star.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this article, the early X-ray afterglows of the first 27 gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) well observed by the Swift X-Ray Telescope (XRT).
Journal ArticleDOI
An intermediate-mass black hole of over 500 solar masses in the galaxy ESO 243-49
Sean Farrell,Sean Farrell,Sean Farrell,N. A. Webb,N. A. Webb,Didier Barret,Didier Barret,Olivier Godet,Joana Rodrigues,Joana Rodrigues +9 more
TL;DR: The detection of a variable X-ray source with a maximum 0.2–10 keV luminosity of up to 1.1 in the edge-on spiral galaxy ESO’243-49 is reported, with an implied conservative lower limit for the mass of the black hole of ∼500.

TL;DR: In this article, the early X-ray emission for a sample of 40 gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) obtained using the Swift satellite, for which the narrow-field instruments were pointed at the burst within 10 minutes of the trigger.
