The Synergy between the LAT and GBM in GLAST's Study of Gamma-Ray Bursts

  • 1. CRESST/UMBC, Code 661, NASA/GSFC, Greenbelt, MD 20771 (United States)

Description

Using semi-analytic calculations I characterize the gamma-ray bursts to which GLAST's LAT and GBM detectors will be sensitive. The thresholds of both instruments are at approximately the same νfν ∝ E2N(E) values, i.e., the thresholds can be connected by an E-2 spectrum. Therefore simultaneous detections by both instruments will be biased towards spectral components flatter than E-2
