Scientific paper

The Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) monitors the entire unocculted sky for transient activity in the energy range from 8 keV to 40 MeV. Now in operation for more than two years, GBM triggers not only on gamma-ray bursts and other cosmic events such as bursts from magnetars but also on solar flares and terrestrial gamma-ray flashes. GBM's continuous data collection over the entire sky also allows continual hard X-ray monitoring of persistent and transient sources using Earth occultation and pulsed source analysis techniques. In this paper I describe the GBM instrument and present some science highlights from GBM observations.
