RESEARCH OF THE COSMIC AND SOLAR GAMMA-RAY BURSTS



Main scientific objectives:

  • the localisation of the GRB sources with high precision ~10 arc sec (using the data of ULYSSES and BATSE-CGRO);
  • the analysis of the low energy absorption features in the spectra;
  • the studying of the thermal radiation at the damping stage of the GRB.
