Abstract
We propose a nanosatellite Compton telescope based on a silicon tracker, both as a fast and low-cost mission for astrophysics in the MeV regime and as a pathfinder for future large-scale Compton orbital observatories. In this paper we assess the sensitivity of such an instrument for the observation of gamma-ray bursts.File in questo prodotto:
