View ArticleFermi LAT Stacking Analysis of Swift Localized Gamma-ray Bursts
We perform a comprehensive stacking analysis of data collected by the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) of gamma-ray bursts (GRB) localized by the Swift spacecraft, which were not detected by the LAT...
View ArticleSimultaneous fits in ISIS on the example of GRO J1008-57
Parallel computing and steadily increasing computation speed have led to a new tool for analyzing multiple datasets and datatypes: fitting several datasets simultaneously. With this technique,...
View ArticleThe Goodness of Simultaneous Fits in ISIS
In a previous work, we introduced a tool for analyzing multiple datasets simultaneously, which has been implemented into ISIS. This tool was used to fit many spectra of X-ray binaries. However, the...
