SCIENCE WITH THE NEW GENERATION OF HIGH ENERGY GAMMA-RAY EXPERIMENTS The Variable Gamma-Ray Sources: Their Identifications and C

Computer Science

Scientific paper

The Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope (GLAST), scheduled for launch in late 2007, is a satellite based observatory to study the high energy gamma-ray sky. There are two instruments on GLAST: the Large Area Telescope (LAT) which provides coverage from 20 MeV to over 300 GeV, and the GLAST Burst Monitor (GBM) which provides observations of transients from 8 keV to 30 MeV. GLAST will provide capabilities well beyond those achieved by the highly successful EGRET instrument on the Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory, with dramatic improvements in sensitivity, angular resolution and energy range. The very large field of view will make it possible to observe ˜20% of the sky at any instant, and the entire sky on timescales of a few hours.
