Gamma Rays from Space - Steve Ritz
The Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope, formerly called GLAST, measures the cosmic gamma-ray flux in the energy range from 20 MeV to >300 GeV, with supporting measurements for gamma-ray bursts from 8 keV to 30 MeV. In addition, to breakthrough capabilities in energy coverage and localization, the very large field of view enables observations of 20% of the sky at any instant, and the entire sky...
