1 Gamma-ray Astronomy Missions, and their Use of a Global Telescope Network
2 The Big Picture Whole sky glows Extreme environments Probes of the Universe CGRO/EGRET All Sky Map
3 Early Gamma-ray Astronomy Gamma-ray Bursts Vela Program : A Bomb or Not a Bomb? A few hundred events, a few hundred theories Gamma-ray Sources SAS-2 discovered 2 pulsars (1972) COS-B about 25 sources ( ) Most unidentified, but 1 quasar Diffuse extra-galactic background
4 Sources of γ-ray Emission Black holes Active Galaxies Pulsars Gamma-ray bursts Diffuse emission Supernovae Unidentified movie
5 CGRO ( )
6 Dr. Arthur Holly Compton 1927 Nobel Prize for Compton Effect First experimental proof of dual wave and particle nature of light
7 BATSE
8 Gamma-Ray Bursts
9 Distribution of GRBs in the Sky
10 Gamma-ray Coordinates Network (GCN)
11 Gamma-ray Coordinates Network (GCN) Originally developed at NASA/MSFC as BACODINE under Scott Barthelmy to support BATSE positions/identifications Now at NASA/GSFC it distributes near real time GRB positions from active satellites as well as reports of follow-up observations by ground-based observers To join: /invitation.html
12 Gamma-ray Burst Progress Beppo/SAX finds evidence for X-ray afterglow from several GRBs (2/28/97) Jan van Paradijs finds optical afterglow Redshifts indicate cosmological distances (Keck, HST) ROTSE catches GRB in the act at visible wavelengths (1/23/99) Evidence mounts for two types of GRBs
13 What BeppoSAX Saw
14 What HST Saw (Much Later)
15 Models for GRBs Hypernova Merging Neutron Stars
16 EGRET
17 Third EGRET Catalog Sky Map
18 EGRET Blazars 3C279 is brightest AGN at high energies Multi-wavele ngth coverage essential to understand flare mechanism
19 Blazar questions Where are the acceleration and emission sites in blazar jets? Multi-wavelength campaigns from radio to TeV How do galaxies cool their jets? Study X/γ Are jets leptonic or hadronic? Study H-α/γ to distinguish between leptonic models. Study X/γ to distinguish leptonic/hadronic models All require energy and time-resolved spectra of blazars during flares and quiescence
20 HETE II Launched 10/9/00 Operational 2/01 Good data starts ~8/15/01 GRB positions from 10 to 10 to GCN within a few seconds Will detect about 30 GRBs per year Anti-solar pointing optimized for ground observers
21 Coordinating with HETE HETE has ~12 ground stations near the equator to transmit positions in near real time Sockets are available through GCN ( to get burst alerts as they occur To see where HETE is pointing: l#hetepointing It will soon be leaving the galactic center and better data should be forthcoming!
22 Swift To be launched in 2003 Repoints within 50 s for X-ray and optical data Sends initial coordinates to ground within 15 s Sends high resolution coordinates to ground within 50 s Detects about 300 GRBs per year
23 Swift Telescope Network Swift has many Associate Investigators who will be observing GRB targets Kevin Hurley (UCB) is coordinating these professional astronomers Swift positions will be available through GCN GLAST Telescope network members will be invited to test their systems using Swift and HETE alerts scientific coordination will be probably also be possible
24 GLAST To be launched in 2006 GLAST Burst Monitor and Large Area Telescope will study GRBs over energies 10 MeV 300 GeV High-energy GRs from AGN flares
25 Mission First space-based collaboration between astrophysics and particle physics communities Launch expected in 2006 First year All-sky Survey followed by Competitive Guest Observer Program Expected duration 5-10 years
26 GLAST Burst Monitor PI Charles Meegan (NASA/MSFC) US-German secondary instrument 12 Sodium Iodide scintillators» Few kev to 1 MeV» Burst triggers and locations 2 bismuth germanate detectors» 150 kev to 30 MeV» Overlap with LAT
27 Large Area Telescope PI Peter Michelson (Stanford) International Collaboration: USA NASA and DoE, France, Italy, Japan, Sweden LAT is a 4 x 4 array of towers Each tower is a pair conversion telescope with calorimeter
28 GLAST All Sky Map
29 GLAST Telescope Network As part of the GLAST EPO program, we are assembling a global telescope network of amateurs, students and professionals RCT will be participating through John Mattox SLAC will archive all data for RCT Targets for GLAST will be both GRBs and AGN flares SSU Observatory will also be participating Gordon Spear is directing this effort All are welcome to join!
