FIRST RESULTS FROM<i>FERMI</i>GAMMA-RAY BURST MONITOR EARTH OCCULTATION MONITORING: OBSERVATIONS OF SOFT GAMMA-RAY SOURCES ABOVE 100 keV

FIRST RESULTS FROM<i>FERMI</i>GAMMA-RAY BURST MONITOR EARTH OCCULTATION MONITORING: OBSERVATIONS OF SOFT GAMMA-RAY SOURCES ABOVE 100 keV

The NaI and BGO detectors on the Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) on Fermi are now being used for long-term monitoring of the hard X-ray/low-energy gamma-ray sky. Using the Earth occultation technique as demonstrated previously by the BATSE instrument on the Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory, GBM can be used to produce multiband …
