Abstract

The Gamma Ray Large Area Space Telescope (GLAST) mission is a followup to the successful EGRET experiment onboard the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory (CGRO). It will provide a high-sensitivity survey of the sky in high-energy γ-rays, and will perform detailed observations of persistent and transient sources. There are two experiments onboard the GLAST — the Large Area Telescope (LAT) and the GLAST Burst Monitor (GBM). The primary mission of the GBM instrument is to support the LAT in observing γ-ray bursts (GRBs) by providing low-energy measurements with high time resolution and rapid burst locations over a large field-of-view (>= 8 sr). The GBM will complement the LAT measurements by observing GRBs in the energy range 10 keV to 30 MeV, the region of the spectral turnover in most GRBs. An important objective of the GBM is to compute the locations of GRB sources on-board the spacecraft and quickly communicate them to the LAT and to the ground to allow rapid followup observations. This information may be used to re-point the LAT towards particularly interesting burst sources that occurred outside its field-of-view. The GBM consists of 14 uncollimated scintillation detectors coupled to phototubes to measure γ-ray energies and time profiles. Two types of detectors are used to obtain spectral information over a wide energy range: 12 NaI(Tl) detectors (10 keV to 1 MeV), and 2 BGO detectors (150 keV to 30 MeV). The detectors are distributed around the GLAST spacecraft to provide a large, unobstructed field of view. The 12 NaI(Tl) detectors are mounted with different orientations for use in locating GRB sources. © 2004 American Institute of Physics [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

14. BATSE Observations of GRB 991216.

Abstract

Observations of the afterglow of gamma-ray burst GRB 991216 have been reported at wavelengths from radio to the X-ray band. BATSE observations at energies above 20 kev show the gamma-ray emission to consist of 2 distinct impulsive episodes separated by 15 seconds and having a total duration of about 40 seconds, followed by a long tail which persists at least 1000 s beyond the trigger time. We present temporal and spectral characteristics of both the prompt and extended emission, and explore whether the tail might be the gamma-ray signature of the afterglow. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

The study of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) is one of the primary scientific objectives of the Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope (GLAST) mission. With its high sensitivity to prompt and extended 20 MeV to 300 GeV burst emission, GLAST's Large Area Telescope (LAT) is expected to yield significant progress in the understanding of GRB physics. To tie these breakthrough highenergy measurements to the known properties of GRBs at lower energies, the GLAST Burst Monitor (GBM) will provide spectra and timing in the 10 kev to 25 MeV energy range. The GBM will also have the capability to quickly localize burst sources to ∼ 15[°] over more than half the sky, allowing the LAT to re-point at particularly interesting bursts which occur outside its field of view. With combined LAT/GBM measurements GLAST will be able to characterize the spectral behavior of many bursts over nearly six decades in energy. This will allow the unknown aspects of high-energy burst emission to be explored in the context of well-known low-energy properties. In this paper, we present an overview of the GBM instrument, including its technical design, scientific goals, and expected performance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

We present an update on our ongoing effort to establish a dedicated observation program with an automated 0.6 meter telescope system that can detect GRB optical signals from 30 s to many hours after the start of the burst. The Super-LOTIS telescope has a 0.8°×0.8° field-of-view, is sensitive to V 17∼19 objects, depending on the integration times, and will be placed at the Kitt Peak National Observatory. This paper presents technical aspects of this telescope and first results from initial operations at LLNL. Utilizing real-time coordinates from BATSE, BeppoSAX, XTE, IPN, HETE-2 and INTEGRAL, our LOTIS and SLOTIS systems will measure prompt GRB optical light curves that will enhance our understanding of GRBs. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.
