Scientific paper
The primary scientific goal of the GRIPS mission is to study the early universe using γ-ray bursts. GRIPS, fully described in a paper by Greiner et al. (2008), is a new generation gamma-ray observatory capable of unprecedented spectroscopy over a wide range of γ-ray energies (200 keV-50 MeV) and of polarimetry (200-1000 keV). Scientific goals achievable by this mission are very broad, and include apart of the primary goal also direct measurements of supernova interiors through γ-ray lines from radioactive products of nucleosynthesis, nuclear astrophysics with massive stars and novae, and studies of particle acceleration near compact objects, interstellar shocks, supernova remnants, superbubbles and clusters of galaxies.
