In Situ Probes of the First Galaxies and Reionization: Gamma-ray Bursts (2009)
McQuinn, Matthew, Bloom, Joshua S., Grindlay, Jonathan, Band, David, Barthelmy, S. D., Berger, E., ...
The first structures in the Universe formed at z>7, at higher redshift than all currently known galaxies. Since GRBs are brighter than other cosmological sources at high redshift and exhibit simple...
The Synergy of Gamma-Ray Burst Detectors in the GLAST Era (2008)
Band, David, Collaboration, For The GLAST
Simultaneous observations by the large number of gamma-ray burst detectors operating in the GLAST era will provide the spectra, lightcurves and locations necessary for studying burst physics and...
Stamatikos, Michael, Collaboration, For The IceCube, Band, David
We describe the theoretical modeling and analysis techniques associated with a preliminary search for correlated neutrino emission from GRB980703a, which triggered the Burst and Transient Source...
Energetics of Gamma Ray Bursts (2001)
Jimenez, Raul, Band, David, Piran, Tsvi
We determine the distribution of total energy emitted by gamma-ray bursts for bursts with fluences and distance information. Our core sample consists of eight bursts with BATSE spectra and...
Linear State Space Modeling of Gamma-Ray Burst Lightcurves (1997)
Band, David, Koenig, Michael, Chernenko, Anton
Linear State Space Modeling determines the hidden autoregressive (AR) process in a noisy time series; for an AR process the time series' current value is the sum of current stochastic ``noise'' and a...
The High Time Resolution Spectral Evolution of Gamma-Ray Bursts (1997)
Previous studies of the evolution of gamma-ray burst spectra have generally relied on fitting sequences of spectra. These studies usually were confined to bright bursts and often lacked sufficient...
A Statistical Treatment of the Gamma-Ray Burst "No Host Object" Issue (1997)
Various burst origin scenarios require a host object in the burst error box or near a well-located position. For example, a host galaxy should be present in the standard cosmological models. We...
Results from GROCSE: A Real-time Search for Gamma Ray Burst Optical Counterparts (1997)
Lee, Brian, Akerlof, Carl, Band, David, Barthelmy, Scott, Butterworth, Paul, Cline, Thomas, ...
The Gamma-Ray Optical Counterpart Search Experiment (GROCSE) has searched for contemporaneous optical counterparts to gamma ray bursts (GRBs) using an automated rapidly slewing wide field of view...
Extrapolations of BATSE Gamma-Ray Burst Spectra to the Optical-UV Band (1996)
Many gamma-ray burst counterpart searches are being conducted in the optical-UV band. To both predict detectability and understand the meaning of any detections or upper limits, we extrapolate...
Cosmological Time Dilation in Gamma Ray Bursts? (1994)
Norris et al. (1994) report that the temporal structure of faint gamma ray bursts is longer than that of bright bursts, as expected for time dilation in the cosmological models of burst origin. I...
The Effect of Repeating Gamma Ray Bursts on V/Vmax (1993)
I consider the effect of repeating gamma ray burst sources on the statistic. I find that the treatment of repeating events, if applied consistently, will not affect the effectiveness of as a test...
