Context: Gamma Ray Burst models predict the broadband spectral evolution and the temporal evolution of the energy flux. In contrast, standard data analysis tools and data repositories provide count-rate data, or use single flux conversion factors for all of the data, neglecting spectral evolution. Aims: To produce Swift BAT and XRT light curves in flux units, where the spectral evolution is accounted for. Methods: We have developed software to use the hardness ratio information to track spectral evolution of GRBs, and thus to convert the count-rate light curves from the BAT and XRT instruments on Swift into accurate, evolution-aware flux light curves. Results: The Swift Burst Analyser website (http://www.swift.ac.uk/burst_analyser) contains BAT, XRT and combined BAT-XRT flux light curves in three energy regimes for all GRBs observed by the Swift satellite. These light curves are automatically built and updated when data become available, are presented in graphical and plain-text format, and are available for download and use in research.

  1. Gamma-ray burst progenitors revisited

    astro-ph.HE 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    About 30–40% of long gamma-ray bursts at z<0.3 lack supernova emission and likely arise from compact object mergers, at rates comparable to short GRBs.

  2. Model-independent calibration of Gamma-Ray Bursts with neural networks

    astro-ph.CO 2024-11 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Neural networks calibrate 2D and 3D Dainotti relations on the Platinum GRB sample via ANN-driven MCMC to produce a model-independent Hubble diagram with reduced scatter.
