Gamma-ray Pulsar Simulations for the Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope (GLAST)
We present here the current status of pulsar simulations for the Large Area Telescope, the main instrument on the GLAST mission. We present PulsarSpectrum, a pulsar simulator that can reproduce with high detail gamma-ray emission from pulsars. PulsarSpectrum takes into account advanced timing effects, e.g. period changes with time, barycentering effects and glitches. Other ancillary tools have ...
متن کاملDistributions of Peak Flux and Duration for Gamma-ray Bursts
Many of the important conclusions about Gamma-Ray Bursts follow from the distributions of various quantities such as peak ux or duration. We show that for astrophysical transients such as bursts, multiple selection thresholds can lead to various forms of data truncation, which can strongly aaect the distributions obtained from the data if not accounted for properly. Thus the data should be cons...
متن کاملGamma-ray Burst Peak Duration as a Function of Energy
Gamma-ray burst time histories often consist of many peaks. These peaks tend to be narrower at higher energy. If gamma-ray bursts are cos-mological, the energy dependence of gamma-ray burst time scales must be understood in order to correct the time scale dependence due to the expansion of the universe. By using the average autocorrelation function and the average pulse width, we show that the ...
متن کاملA Possible Cepheid-Like Luminosity Estimator for the Long Gamma-Ray Bursts
We present a possible Cepheid-like luminosity estimator for long gamma-ray bursts based on the variability of their light curves. To construct the luminosity estimator, we use CGRO/BATSE data for 13 bursts, Wind/KONUS data for 5 bursts, Ulysses/GRB data for 1 burst, and NEAR/XGRS data for 1 burst. Spectroscopic redshifts, peak fluxes, and high resolution light curves are available for 11 of the...
متن کاملGlast, the Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope
The exchange between laboratory physics and astrophysics has demonstrated through centuries of science to be at the origin of fundamental discoveries. GLAST, a detector for cosmic γ rays in the range from 20 MeV to 300 GeV, is built around this idea: both the design of the instrument and the guidelines for science originate from a partnership of researchers from High Energy Physics (HEP) and Hi...
