Castro Cerón ; ( IAA-CSIC, Granada, Spain, DSRI, Copenhagen, Denmark, STScI, Baltimore, USA | | Abstract: | We discuss INTEGRAL’s capabilities to detect a high redshift population of Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) in comparison to other high-energy missions. Emphasis is done on the study of the relative capabilities of IBIS on board INTEGRAL with respect to SWIFT and HETE 2 for detecting a high redshift population of GRBs. We conclude that, if the GRB rate is proportional to the star formation rate, INTEGRAL’s capabilities for studying GRBs are complementary to the ones of missions like SWIFT and HETE 2, specially devoted to prompt localisations of GRBs. Whereas SWIFT and HETE 2 would detect a higher number of GRBs than INTEGRAL, IBIS might be able to detect high redshift (z>~7) GRBs, unreachable for SWIFT and HETE 2. We discuss the relevance of performing near-infrared (NIR) observations of the INTEGRAL GRBs and the strategy that large class telescopes might follow. | | Source: | arXiv, astro-ph/0407221 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
