Swift
Swift A NASA satellite, with UK and Italian involvement, launched in 2004November to detect and study
gamma‐ray bursts (
GRB). Swift gets its name from its ability to detect a GRB with its wide‐angle Burst Alert Telescope (
BAT), and then to turn rapidly towards the outburst to search for
afterglow radiation with its X‐ray Telescope (
XRT) and Ultraviolet/Optical Telescope (
UVOT). Redshifts from the XRT and UVOT help determine the burst's distance. http://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/swift/swift.html
