Physics of Gamma-Ray Bursts Prompt Emission

Figure 3

Light curves for GRB 080916C observed with the GBM and the LAT detectors on board the Fermi satellite, from lowest to highest energies. The top graph shows the sum of the counts, in the 8 to 260 keV energy band, of two NaI detectors. The second is the corresponding plot for BGO detector 0, between 260 keV and 5 MeV. The third shows all LAT events passing the onboard event filter for gamma-rays. (Insets) Views of the first 15 s from the trigger time. In all cases, the bin width is 0.5 s; the per-second counting rate is reported on the right for convenience. Taken from Abdo et al. [57].
