Gamma-ray burst observations with new generation imaging atmospheric Cerenkov Telescopes in the FERMI era
After the launch and successful beginning of operations of the FERMI
satellite, the topics related to high-energy observations of gamma-ray bursts
have obtained a considerable attention by the scientific community.
Undoubtedly, the diagnostic power of high-energy observations in constraining
the emission processes and the physical conditions of gamma-ray burst is
relevant. We briefly discuss how gamma-ray burst observations with ground-based
imaging array Cerenkov telescopes, in the GeV-TeV range, can compete and
cooperate with FERMI observations, in the MeV-GeV range, to allow researchers
to obtain a more detailed and complete picture of the prompt and afterglow
phases of gamma-ray bursts.Comment: 9 pages, two figures. Proceeding for the 6th "Science with the New
Generation of High Energy Gamma-Ray Experiments" worksho
