Fermi LAT movie of Gamma-ray Burst (GRB) 080916C (2009)

2009 · Short film

Synopsis

This movie compresses about 8 minutes of Fermi LAT observations of GRB 080916C into 6 seconds. Colored dots represent gamma rays of different energies. Visible light has energy between about 2 and 3 electron volts (eV). The blue dots represent lower-energy gamma rays (less than 100 million eV); green, moderate energies (100 million to 1 billion eV); and red, the highest energies (more than 1 billion eV). Note: Fermi LAT movie of GRB 080916C Animator: Nicola Omodei (INFN Pisa, Italy). Scientist:…
