Transient Gamma-Ray Spectrometer
Visible afterglow counterparts have now been detected for two GRBs (970228 and 970508) but are absent, with Lopt/Lγ ratios at least two orders of magnitude lower, for other GRBs, e.g., 970828. The causes of this variation are unknown. Any correspondence which could be discovered between the γ-ray properties of a GRB and its Lopt/Lγ would be useful, both in determining the GRB mechanisms, and in...
متن کاملCdZnTe Gamma Ray Spectrometer for Orbital Gamma Ray Spectroscopy
We present the design and analysis of a new gamma ray spectrometer for planetary science that uses an array of CdZnTe detectors to achieve the detection efficiency needed for orbital measurements. The use of CdZnTe will provide significantly improved pulse height resolution relative to scintillation-based detectors, with commensurate improvement in the accuracy of elemental abundances determine...
متن کاملThe NEAR X-Ray/Gamma-Ray Spectrometer
he X-Ray/Gamma-Ray Spectrometer on the Near Earth Asteroid Rendezvous (NEAR) spacecraft will remotely sense X-ray and gamma-ray emissions from the surface of near-Earth asteroid 433 Eros and look for characteristic “signatures” in those emissions to determine its elemental composition. During the planned 10 months of orbits about Eros beginning in early 1999, data returned from the instrument w...

متن کاملGlobal elemental maps of the moon: the Lunar Prospector gamma-Ray spectrometer.
Lunar Prospector gamma-ray spectrometer spectra along with counting rate maps of thorium, potassium, and iron delineate large compositional variations over the lunar surface. Thorium and potassium are highly concentrated in and around the nearside western maria and less so in the South Pole-Aitken basin. Counting rate maps of iron gamma-rays show a surface iron distribution that is in general a...
