Transient Gamma-Ray Spectrometer
Visible afterglow counterparts have now been detected for two GRBs (970228 and 970508) but are absent, with Lopt/Lγ ratios at least two orders of magnitude lower, for other GRBs, e.g., 970828. The causes of this variation are unknown. Any correspondence which could be discovered between the γ-ray properties of a GRB and its Lopt/Lγ would be useful, both in determining the GRB mechanisms, and in...
متن کاملThe NEAR X-Ray/Gamma-Ray Spectrometer
he X-Ray/Gamma-Ray Spectrometer on the Near Earth Asteroid Rendezvous (NEAR) spacecraft will remotely sense X-ray and gamma-ray emissions from the surface of near-Earth asteroid 433 Eros and look for characteristic “signatures” in those emissions to determine its elemental composition. During the planned 10 months of orbits about Eros beginning in early 1999, data returned from the instrument w...
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...
متن کاملThe Agile Gamma-ray Detector
The gamma-ray detector AGILE, operating in the energy range from 30 MeV to 50 GeV, is composed by a tracking part, a light calorimeter and an anticoincidence system. Here we describe the detector and its capabilities to determine the arrival direction and energy of the detected photons. The AGILE design is derived from a refined study of the GILDA project (Barbiellini et al. 1995, Morselli et a...
متن کاملGamma-ray Line Transients
Early interpretations of the variability of the narrow 0.511 MeV annihilation line from the Galactic center (GC) were confused by the unrecognized presence of a very extended component (mid 70s | mid 80s). Transient behavior was suggested by comparisons of measurements made by instruments with comparable elds of view, and by detection of other lines which could be interpreted as broadened and D...
