TL;DR
The SVOM mission's Gamma Ray Monitor is designed to detect and study gamma-ray bursts up to 5 MeV, enabling measurement of key parameters and expected to detect about 100 GRBs annually, advancing high-energy astrophysics.
Contribution
This paper introduces the design and capabilities of the Gamma Ray Monitor onboard SVOM, highlighting its ability to measure Epeak and its expected detection rate.
Findings
Detects up to 100 GRBs per year
Measures Epeak in the hard X-ray band
Enhances understanding of high-energy transient phenomena
Abstract
The Space-based multi-band astronomical Variable Object Monitor (SVOM) mission is dedicated to the detection, localization and broad-band study of Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) and other high-energy transient phenomena. The Gamma Ray Monitor (GRM) onboard is designed to observe the GRBs up to 5 MeV. With this instrument one of the key GRB parameter, Epeak, can be easily measured in the hard x-ray band. It can achieve a detection rate of 100 GRBs per year which ensures the scientific output of SVOM.
