Abstract:
We discuss INTEGRAL's ability to detect a high redshift population of
Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) in comparison to other high-energy missions.
Emphasis is placed on the study of the relative capabilities of IBIS
on board INTEGRAL with respect to SWIFT and HETE 2 in detecting a high
redshift population of GRBs. We conclude that, if the GRB rate is
proportional to the star formation rate, INTEGRAL's ability to study
GRBs are complementary to the ones of missions like SWIFT and HETE 2,
devoted to prompt localisations of GRBs. Whereas SWIFT and HETE 2
would detect a higher number of GRBs than INTEGRAL, IBIS might be able
to detect high redshift (z≳7) GRBs, unreachable by SWIFT and HETE 2.
We discuss the relevance of performing near-infrared (NIR)
observations of the INTEGRAL GRBs and the strategy that large-class
telescopes might follow.
Description:
Here you find some information on the results of GRBs which have been
localized within a few hours to days to less than 1 degree by the
following instruments and procedures: detection by the BeppoSAX GRBM
and imaging in the BeppoSAX WFC; detection by BATSE and subsequent
scanning observations by the RXTE/PCA; detection by BATSE and
quasi-simultaneous localization by RXTE/ASM scans; triangulation by
the Interplanetary Network (IPN); imaging by HETE and INTEGRAL.
A complete information of the GRB is available at

the second GRB on that day, and a "C" the third one.
