“…To observe GRB events, two different telescopes were included [1]: first one is the UFFO Burst Alert & Trigger telescope (UBAT), an X-ray telescope that has wide Field of View (FOV) to localize GRBs. With it's coded aperture and codes written in Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA), UBAT can localize GRBs within 10 arc-sec resolution [2,3]. After localizing a GRB, UBAT sends GRB's direction to another telescope, the Slewing Mirror Telescope (SMT); an optical/UV telescope made of a slewing mirror and an Intensified Charge-Coupled Device (ICCD) camera [4].…”
