Journal ArticleDOI

Carl W. Akerlof,R. Balsano,S. D. Barthelmy,J. Bloch,P. Butterworth,Donald E. Casperson,T. Cline,S. Fletcher,F. Frontera,Galen Gisler,John Heise,J. Hills,Robert Kehoe,Brian C. Lee,S. L. Marshall,Timothy A. McKay,Richard Miller,L. Piro,William C. Priedhorsky,John J. Szymanski,J. Wren +20 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported the detection of bright optical emission from GRB990123 while the burst was still in progress, which suggests that the gamma-rays are not produced at the shock front, but closer to the site of the original explosion.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported the first discovery of the onset of a relativistic accretion-powered jet in the new extragalactic transient, Swift J164449.3+573451.
Journal ArticleDOI
A giant, periodic flare from the soft gamma repeater SGR1900+14

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report on an even more intense burst on August 27, 1998, from a different soft gamma repeater, which displayed a hard energy spectrum at its peak, and was followed by a ~300 s long tail with a soft energy spectrum and a dramatic 5.16 s period.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Second Swift BAT Gamma-Ray Burst Catalog

TL;DR: The second Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) catalog of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) as discussed by the authors contains 476 bursts detected by the BAT between 2004 December 19 and 2009 December 21.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors report on the detection by Swift of GRB 080913, and subsequent optical/near-infrared follow-up observations by GROND which led to the discovery of its optical/NIR afterglow and the recognition of its high-z nature via the detection of a spectral break between the i' and z' bands.
