论文摘要
我们描述了Glowbug，这是一种伽马射线望远镜，用于30 KEV至2 MEV频段中的突发和其他瞬态。 NASA天体物理学研究和分析计划最近选择了它的资金，预计于2020年代初推出。 GlowBug的概念与Fermi Gamma突发显示器（GBM）相似，并且具有相似的敏感性，并将加入并增强未来的爆发望远镜网络，以将天空覆盖范围增加到短伽马射线爆发（SGRB）（SGRBS），来自二进制中性星（BNS）合并，包括来自NS-Black hole Mergers的可能的SGRB，包括可能的SGRB。随着最近发现与重力波瞬态GW170817一致的SGRB一致，我们知道这种事件的发生频率合理。伽玛射线中的天空覆盖范围扩大至关重要，因为在未来几年中，升级的地面干涉仪的灵敏度提高了引力波的更多检测。
We describe Glowbug, a gamma-ray telescope for bursts and other transients in the 30 keV to 2 MeV band. It was recently selected for funding by the NASA Astrophysics Research and Analysis program, with an expected launch in the early 2020s. Similar in concept to the Fermi Gamma Burst Monitor (GBM) and with similar sensitivity, Glowbug will join and enhance future networks of burst telescopes to increase sky coverage to short Gamma-Ray Bursts (SGRBs) from binary neutron star (BNS) mergers, including possible SGRBs from NS-black hole mergers. With the recent discovery of the SGRB coincident with the gravitational wave transient GW170817, we know such events occur with reasonable frequency. Expanded sky coverage in gamma rays is essential, as more detections of gravitational waves are expected with the improved sensitivity of the upgraded ground-based interferometers in the coming years.
