Milagro search for VHE emission from GRBs in the Swift era
Abstract
Since its launch, in late 2004, Swift has been locating gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) at a rate of $\sim$100 per year. The rapid localization and follow-up in many wavelengths is providing new insights and revealing new, and unexpected phenomena, such as bright X-ray flares. Very high energy (VHE) emission ($>$100 GeV) is predicted by several models. Here, we present the results of a search for VHE emission from the most recent GRBs to fall within the Milagro field of view.
