NASA to Announce Swift Gamma-Ray Burst Findings
WASHINGTON, Sept. 4 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — NASA will hold a media
teleconference Wednesday, Sept. 10, at 1 p.m. EDT, to discuss new results
regarding the gamma-ray burst GRB 080319B, which was visible to the naked
eye.
The burst’s optical emission is the brightest seen to date and appears
to have been aimed almost directly at Earth. Extensive observations from
NASA’s Swift satellite and ground-based observatories show the burst
emission mechanism in unprecedented detail.
The panelists include:
— David Burrows, NASA Swift X-ray Telescope lead, Penn State, College
Park, Pa.

— Grigory Beskin, senior scientist, Special Astrophysical Observatory
of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Nizhnij Arkhyz, Karachaevo-Cherkessia,
