Gou 2007 GLAST对余辉的可探测性分析

主要内容:
一Swift暴观测为基础，考虑同步自康普顿产生的高能光子的流量，看是否在GLAST LAT或者AGILE的灵敏度之上。认为GLAST能达到5倍以上的Swift探测率，而可探测到更多的高能余辉（这不是一般意义上的孤儿余辉吧）。

We calculate the GeV spectra of GRB afterglows produced by inverse Compton scattering of the sub-MeV emission of these objects. We improve on earlier treatments by using refined afterglow parameters and new model developments motivated by recent Swift observations. We present time-dependent GeV spectra for standard, constant parameter models, as well as for models with energy injection and with time-varying parameters, for a range of burst parameters. We evaluate the limiting redshift to which such afterglows can be detected by the GLAST LAT, as well as AGILE.
