Publisher's Synopsis

The Gamma-Ray Astronomy Program Working Group (GRAPWG) recommends priorities for the NASA Gamma-Ray Astronomy Program. The highest priority science topic is nuclear astrophysics and sites of gamma ray line emission. Other high priority topics are gamma ray bursts, hard x-ray emission from accreting black holes and neutron stars, the Advanced Compton Telescope (ACT), the High-resolution Spectroscopic Imager (HSI), and the Energetic X-ray Imaging Survey Telescope (EXIST). The recommendations include special consideration for technology development, TeV astronomy, the ultra-long duration balloon (ULDB) program, the International Space Station, optical telescope support, and data analysis and theory.Carol, LaddUnspecified CenterGAMMA RAY ASTRONOMY; NASA PROGRAMS; PRIORITIES; GAMMA RAY BURSTS; INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION; SPECTROSCOPY; X RAY TELESCOPES...
