    Abstract : Gamma-ray burst light curves are notoriously irregular, yet a significant number consists of a single fast-rising, exponentially decaying pulse. These are called single-peaked light curves. READ MORE

  3. 2. High-Redshift Gamma-ray Bursts as seen by SVOM/ECLAIRs

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Rymdteknik

    Author : Miguel Llamas Lanza; [2021]
    Keywords : Gamma-ray Bursts; GRBs; compact objects; high energy; ECLAIRs; SVOM; high redshift; T90; detection biases;

    Abstract : Gamma Ray Burst (GRB) are very bright cosmological explosions signalling the catastrophic formation of a black hole. Therefore, they act like real light beacons that could be detected through-out the Universe and be used as probes to study the contents and phases of the early Universe. However, only a handful sample is known so far. READ MORE

  4. 3. Study of the in-flight calibration of theSVOM/ECLAIRs instrument

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för system- och rymdteknik

    Author : Jakob Östberg; [2020]
    Keywords : Telescope; calibration; gamma-ray; burst; ECLAIRs; SVOM; IRAP;

    Abstract : The Space based multi-band Variable astronomical Object Monitor (SVOM) is a x- andgamma-ray telescope with the primary objective of observing gamma-ray bursts. Themission is a cooperation between the French and Chinese space agencies and will be launchedin 2021. READ MORE
