Post-Launch Analysis of Swift’s Gamma-Ray Burst Detection Sensitivity
The dependence of Swift’s detection sensitivity on a burst’s temporal and spectral properties shapes the detected burst population. Using simplified models of the detector hardware and the burst trigger system I find that Swift is more sensitive to long, soft bursts than CGRO’s BATSE, a reference detector because of the large burst database it accumulated. Thus Swift has increased sensitivity i...
متن کاملEsa Exomars: Pre-launch Pancam Geometric Modeling and Accuracy Assessment
ExoMars is the flagship mission of the European Space Agency (ESA) Aurora Programme. The mobile scientific platform, or rover, will carry a drill and a suite of instruments dedicated to exobiology and geochemistry research. As the ExoMars rover is designed to travel kilometres over the Martian surface, high-precision rover localization and topographic mapping will be critical for traverse path ...
متن کاملIntegral: the International Gamma-ray Astrophysics Laboratory
The International Gamma-Ray Astrophysics Laboratory (INTEGRAL) is dedicated to the ne spec-troscopy ((E: 2 keV FWHM @ 1 MeV) and ne imaging (angular resolution: 12 0 FWHM) of celestial gamma-ray sources in the energy range 15 keV to 10 MeV. The scientiic payload consists of two gamma-ray instruments and two monitors: the Ge spectrometer (SPI) and the CdTe/CsI imager (IBIS); the X-ray monitor (J...
متن کاملCANGAROO Project for High-Energy Gamma-Ray Astrophysics
Astrophyisical motivations, recent status and results from the international CANGAROO project in Woomera, South Australia are described. Since 1990, with ground-based gamma-ray telecopes using the imaging Cherenkov technique, we are exploring the highenergy phenomena in the Universe and providing new insights to active and extreme astrophysical objects by its observational data at the highest e...
متن کاملCdZnTe Gamma Ray Spectrometer for Orbital Gamma Ray Spectroscopy
We present the design and analysis of a new gamma ray spectrometer for planetary science that uses an array of CdZnTe detectors to achieve the detection efficiency needed for orbital measurements. The use of CdZnTe will provide significantly improved pulse height resolution relative to scintillation-based detectors, with commensurate improvement in the accuracy of elemental abundances determine...
