Precise localization of GRBs

The GOYA wide field X/gamma-ray cameras (WIFICAM), will be capable of localizing GRBs in real time to better than 1 degree. Taking into account the South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA) passages and Earth occultation periods, about 40 GRBs/year will be localized (for fluences higher than 5 x 10E(-7) erg/ cm2).
