A next generation Ultra-Fast Flash Observatory (UFFO-100) for IR/optical observations of the rise phase of gamma-ray bursts
B. Grossan, I. H. Park, S. Ahmad +39
The Swift Gamma-ray Burst (GRB) observatory responds to GRB triggers with optical observations in ~ 100 s, but cannot respond faster than ~ 60 s. While some ground-based telescopes…
Data Acquisition System for the UFFO Pathfinder
G. W. Na, K. -B. Ahn, H. S. Choi +22
The Ultra-Fast Flash Observatory (UFFO) Pathfinder is a payload on the Russian Lomonosov satellite, scheduled to be launched in November 2011. The Observatory is designed to detect…
Design and Fabrication of Detector Module for UFFO Burst Alert & Trigger Telescope
A. Jung, S. Ahmad, K. -B. Ahn +39
The Ultra-Fast Flash Observatory (UFFO) pathfinder is a space mission devoted to the measurement of Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs), especially their early light curves which will give cru…
Optical Performances of Slewing Mirror Telescope for UFFO-Pathfinder
S. Jeong, K. -B. Ahn, J. W. Nam +21
The Ultra-Fast Flash Observatory-Pathfinder (UFFO-P) is to be launched onboard Lomonosov spacecraft in November 2011. It is to measure early UV/Optical photons from Gamma Ray Burst…
The UFFO (Ultra Fast Flash Observatory) Pathfinder: Science and Mission
P. Chen, S. Ahmad, K. Ahn +39
Hundreds of gamma-ray burst (GRB) optical light curves have been measured since the discovery of optical afterglows. However, even after nearly 7 years of operation of the Swift Ob…
Implementation of the readout system in the UFFO Slewing Mirror Telescope
J. E. Kim, H. Lim, A. Jung +22
The Ultra-Fast Flash Observatory (UFFO) is a new space-based experiment to observe Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs). GRBs are the most luminous electromagnetic events in the universe and oc…
