Toward GRB science in the GLAST era
The GLAST Large Area Telescope will soon open a brand new energy window in Gamma-Ray astronomy. This is of special interest to the Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) community that longs to learn more about those crazy beasts discovered more than 30 years ago.
I will here review some of the GLAST capabilities as well as the synergy with other instruments that are especially important for GRB detection/observation/follow-up. And I will provide some examples of specific analysis that could done to constrain GRB models once GLAST is fully operational and start feeding us with lots of data. Hopefully this will provide meat for animated discussions…
