Viewing the Violent Universe with SWIFT and GLAST
Abstract
As the most energetic form of light, gamma rays help reveal information about some of the most violent phenomena in the Universe. Previous space missions like the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory provided the observations that set the stage for two 21st century gamma-ray programs. Swift, launched in Fall, 2004, concentrates on gamma-ray bursts, the most powerful explosions in the Universe. GLAST, the Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope, will be launched in 2007 to study objects like blazars, pulsars, supernovae, and unidentified sources.
