The Trigger Algorithm for the Burst Alert Telescope on Swift
E. Fenimore, D. Palmer, M. Galassi +5
The Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) is a huge (5200 cm2) coded aperture imager that will detect gamma-ray bursts in real time and provide a location that the Swift satellite will…
Swift's Ability to Detect Gamma-Ray Bursts
E. E. Fenimore, K. McLean, D. Palmer +7
The Swift satellite will be a self-contained observatory that will bring new capabilities to the observing of the early afterglow emission of Gamma-ray Bursts. Swift is completely…
The BAT-Swift Science Software
D. M. Palmer, E. Fenimore, M. Galassi +22
The BAT instrument tells the Swift satellite where to point to make immediate follow-up observations of GRBs. The science software on board must efficiently process gamma-ray event…
The Swift Gamma-Ray Burst Mission
N. Gehrels, G Chincarini, P. Giommi +12
The Swift mission, scheduled for launch in early 2004, is a multiwavelength observatory for gamma-ray burst (GRB) astronomy. It is the first-of-its-kind autonomous rapid-slewing sa…
