The Gamma Large Area Space Telescope: GLAST

A. Morselli

Open full text 3 citations

Abstract

The GLAST mission is a high-energy gamma-ray observatory designed for making observations of celestial gamma-ray sources in the energy band extending from 20 MeV to 300 GeV. Our understanding of the Universe has experienced a revolution in the last several years with breakthrough observations of many new phenomena that have changed our view of the high energy Universe and raised many new questions. The GLAST mission stands poised to open enormous opportunities for answering these questions and advancing knowledge in astrophysics and particle physics.
