Multiwavelength Gamma-Ray Bursts Observations with ECLAIRs
ECLAIRs is the next space borne instrument that will be fully dedicated to multiwavelength studies of Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs). It consists of a coded mask telescope with a wide (∼2 sr) field of view, made of 6400 CdTe pixels (∼1000 cm2), which will work in the 4– 300 keV energy band. It is expected to localise ∼80 GRBs/yr, thanks to the on-board real time event processing. The GRBs (and other t...
متن کاملGamma-Ray Bursts - When Theory Meets Observations
Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) are the brightest objects observed. They are also the most relativistic objects known so far. GRBs occur when an ultrarelativisitic ejecta is slowed down by internal shocks within the flow. Relativistic particles accelerated within these shocks emit the observed gamma-rays by a combination of synchrotron and inverse Compton emission. External shocks with the circumstella...
متن کاملFermi-LAT Observations of Gamma-Ray Bursts
The Large Area Telescope (LAT) on the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope observatory is a pair conversion telescope sensitive to gamma-rays over more than four energy decades, between 20 MeV and more than 300 GeV. Acting in synergy with the Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) the other instrument onboard the mission the LAT features unprecedented sensitivity for the study of gammaray bursts (GRBs) in te...
متن کاملPrompt Optical Observations of Gamma-Ray Bursts.
The Robotic Optical Transient Search Experiment (ROTSE) seeks to measure simultaneous and early afterglow optical emission from gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). A search for optical counterparts to six GRBs with localization errors of 1 deg2 or better produced no detections. The earliest limiting sensitivity is mROTSE>13.1 at 10.85 s (5 s exposure) after the gamma-ray rise, and the best limit is mROTSE...
متن کاملSwift observations of gamma-ray bursts.
Since its launch on 20 November 2004, the Swift mission has been detecting approximately 100 gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) each year, and immediately (within approx. 90s) starting simultaneous X-ray and UV/optical observations of the afterglow. It has already collected an impressive database, including prompt emission to higher sensitivities than BATSE, uniform monitoring of afterglows and a rapid fo...
