NGRG Data & Samples

NGRG Data Sets
  • Swift Data Selection
    We wanted to select a data set with uniform X-ray and UVOT early observations.  Starting around 2006 May, initial ("finding chart") exposures were mostly around 100 s in W. After 2008, this exposure was changed to around 147 seconds. 
  • X-ray Data Set: "Early Sample X-ray Super-Sample"
    Motivated by the desire for shorter exposures for our optical reductions, we selected 2006 May 2 – 2008 Oct 7, and analyzed 224 BAT light curves in this period.
    List To Be Posted.
    SNR vs. Detecting Area Results To Be Posted.
  • Early UVOT Brightness Distribution Sample
    Selection Criteria: W filter/ ~100 s exposure / t_mid < 170 s
    We selected all the UVOT W exposure detections 2006 May 2 – 2008 Oct 7with t_mid < 170 s and t_exp near 100 s (i.e. < 125 s), and got the resulting W values from the HESARC site. The histogram data are here. Please reference Grossan, Kumar, Perley, and Smoot 2014, for now http://arxiv.org/abs/1402.4856 . Please use these data as much as possible to benefit understanding of GRBs; please ask me to re-format or provide more data for you - I would love to collaborate with anyone interested in my data.
