LAT Coordinate System
نویسنده
چکیده
The hardware and software designs need a clear, consistent and universally accepted definition of the coordinate system for the LAT. This note specifies the global LAT instrument coordinate system; the terminology, numbering, and orientation of detector planes in the TKR and CAL; and tower numbering, the local tower coordinate systems, and detector element numbering within a tower. The conventions used in this document are based on discussions with the subsystem managers and the I&T manager. This documents builds upon the earlier work of D. Lauben, M. Hirayama, M. Nordby, J. Wallace, S. Williams, R. Williamson, and others.

Gamma-ray Burst Theory in the Fermi Era
The Large Area Telescope (LAT) on-board the Fermi satellite detected emission above 20 MeV only in a small fraction of the long gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) detected by the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) at 8 keV-40 MeV. Those bursts that were detected by the LAT were among the brightest GBM bursts. The emission detected by LAT seerms to be delayed respect to the one detected by the GBM. In thi...
متن کاملGLAST LAT and pulsars: what do we learn from simulations?
Gamma-ray pulsars are among the best targets for the Large Area Telescope (LAT) aboard the GLAST mission. The higher sensitivity, time and energy resolution of the LAT will provide data of fundamental importance to understand the physics of these fascinating objects. Powerful tools for studying the LAT capabilities for pulsar science are the simulation programs developed within the GLAST Collab...

متن کاملVerification of the indoor GPS system, by comparison with calibrated coordinates and by angular reference
This paper details work carried out to verify the dimensional measurement performance of the Indoor GPS (iGPS) system; a network of Rotary-Laser Automatic Theodolites (R-LATs). Initially tests were carried out to determine the angular uncertainties on an individual R-LAT transmitter-receiver pair. A method is presented of determining the uncertainty of dimensional measurement for a three dimens...
