AST-9731168 ABSTRACT This project will build an inexpensive camera, the GRB imager and polarimeter (GRB-IMP), which will be permanently mounted at the broken Cassegrain focus of the Palomar 200 inch telescope. It will be available to any observer with 10 minutes notice. The GRB-IMP will provide imaging capability via a CCD camera and rapid photometry using either photomultiplier tubes, avalanche photodiodes, or a combination of the two. Availability of the GRB-IMP will maximize the possibility of acquiring adequate GRB follow-up observations at optical wavelengths.

AST-9731168 本项目将建造一台廉价的照相机，即伽玛射线暴成像仪和偏振计（GRB-IMP），它将永久安装在帕洛马200英寸望远镜的卡塞格伦焦点上。 它将提供给任何观察员10分钟的通知。 GRB-IMP将通过CCD照相机提供成像能力，并使用光电倍增管、雪崩光电二极管或两者的组合进行快速测光。 GRB-IMP的提供将最大限度地可能在光学波长上获得充分的伽马射线暴后续观测。
