The Ultra Fast Flash Observatory pathfinder (UFFO-p) is a telescope system designed for the detection of prompt optical/UV photons from Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs), and it will be launched onboard Lomonosov spacecraft in 2012. UFFO-p consists two instruments: UFFO Burst Alert Trigger (UBAT) location GRBs, Slewing Mirror Telescope (SMT) measurement UV/optical afterglow. UBAT isa coded-mask aperture X-ray camera with wide field view (FOV) 1.8 sr. detector module YSO(Yttrium Oxyorthosilicate)...
We describe the space project of Ultra-Fast Flash Observatory (UFFO) which will observe early optical photons from gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) with a sub-second response, for first time. The UFFO probe rise GRBs, opening completely new frontier in GRB and transient studies, using fast response Slewing Mirror Telescope (SMT) that redirects path to telescope instead slewing telescopes or spacecraft. In our small UFFO-Pathfinder experiment, scheduled launch aboard Lomonosov satellite 2012, we use...
The Slewing Mirror Telescope (SMT) is a key telescope of Ultra-Fast Flash Observatory (UFFO) space project to explore the first sub-minute or sub-seconds early photons from Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) afterglows. As realization UFFO, 20kg UFFO-Pathfinder (UFFO-P) going be on board Russian Lomonosov satellite in November 2012 by Soyuz-2 rocket. Once UFFO Burst Alert & Trigger (UBAT) detects GRBs, mirror (SM) will slew bring new GRB into SMT's field view rather than slewing entire spacecraft. SMT...
Since the launch of SWIFT, Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) science has been much progressed. Especially supporting many measurements GRB events and sharing them with other telescopes by Gamma-ray Coordinate Network (GCN) have resulted richness events, however, only a few measured within minute after gamma ray signal. This lack sub-minute data limits study for characteristics UV-optical light curve short-hard type fast-rising GRB. Therefore, we developed telescope named Ultra-Fast Flash Observatory...
This paper describes a community effort to improve earlier versions of the full-text corpus Genomics & Informatics by semi-automatically detecting and correcting PDF-to-text conversion errors optical character recognition during first hackathon Annotation Hackathon (GIAH) event. Extracting text from multi-column biomedical documents such as is known be notoriously difficult. The was piloted part coding competition ELTEC College Engineering at Ewha Womans University in order enable...
