Future detection of high-redshift gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) will be an important tool for studying the early Universe. Fast and accurate redshift estimation for detected GRBs is key for encouraging rapid follow-up observations by ground- and…
The Ge spectrometer of the RHESSI satellite is sensitive to Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) from about 40 keV up to 17 MeV, thus ideally complementing the Swift/BAT instrument whose sensitivity decreases above 150 keV. We present preliminary…
INTEGRAL has observed 47 long-duration GRBs (T_90 > 2s) and 1 short-duration GRB (T_90 < 2s) in five years of observation since October 2002. This work presents the properties of the prompt emission of GRB 070707, which is the first short…
