Probing the Cosmic Gamma-Ray Burst Rate with Trigger Simulations of the Swift Burst Alert Telescope
Amy Lien, Takanori Sakamoto, Neil Gehrels +4
The gamma-ray burst (GRB) rate is essential for revealing the connection between GRBs, supernovae and stellar evolution. Additionally, the GRB rate at high redshift provides a stro…
Tiled Array of Pixelated CZT Imaging Detectors for ProtoEXIST2 and MIRAX-HXI
Jaesub Hong, Branden Allen, Jonathan Grindlay +7
We have assembled a tiled array (220 cm2) of fine pixel (0.6 mm) imaging CZT detectors for a balloon borne wide-field hard X-ray telescope, ProtoEXIST2. ProtoEXIST2 is a prototype…
The Swift/BAT Hard X-ray Transient Monitor
Hans A. Krimm, Stephen T. Holland, Robin H. D. Corbet +14
The Swift/Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) hard X-ray transient monitor provides near real-time coverage of the X-ray sky in the energy range 15-50 keV. The BAT observes 88% of the sky…
Probing the Gamma-Ray Burst Rate with Trigger Simulations of the Swift Burst Alert Telescope
Amy Lien, Takanori Sakamoto, Neil Gehrels +4
The long gamma-ray burst (GRB) rate is essential for revealing the connection between GRBs, supernovae and stellar evolution. Additionally, the GRB rate at high redshift provides a…
The High Resolution X-Ray Imaging Detector Planes for the MIRAX Mission
Barbara H. G. Rodrigues, Jonathan E. Grindlay, Branden Allen +5
The MIRAX X-ray observatory, the first Brazilian-led astrophysics space mission, is designed to perform an unprecedented wide-field, wide-band hard X-ray (5-200 keV) survey of Gala…
Using ISS Telescopes for Electromagnetic Follow-up of Gravitational Wave Detections of NS-NS and NS-BH Mergers
Jordan Camp, Scott D. Barthelmy, Lindy Blackburn +6
The International Space Station offers a unique platform for rapid and inexpensive deployment of space telescopes. A scientific opportunity of great potential later this decade is…
