Abstract
The GLAST Burst Monitor (GBM) comprises an array of NaI and BGO scintillation detectors designed to enhance the scientific return from GLAST in the study of gamma‐ray bursts (GRBs). By observing in the 10 keV to 30 MeV energy range, GBM extends the spectral coverage of GRBs more than 3 decades below the LAT energy threshold. GBM computes burst locations on‐board, allowing repointing of the GLAST Observatory to place strong bursts within the LAT field‐of‐view to observe delayed high‐energy emission.Keywords
