Scientific paper

The High Energy Transient Experiment (HETE) will be able to perform multiwavelength observations ofγ-ray and X-ray bursts. HETE will potentially be able to localizeγ-ray bursts to a precision of ˜20 arc-minutes if significant X-ray flux is detected from the burst; a precision of ˜20 arc-seconds is possible if there is also significant UV radiation from the burst. HETE will broadcast information about bursts detected within seconds of their detection. This VHF-band broadcast will be received at a number of secondary ground stations (SGS) dedicated to HETE, and forwarded to a central distribution site at MIT, from which it is sent to interested observers via Internet.
