[20.07] Considerations for a Next Generation GRB Observatory

G.J. Fishman (NASA-MSFC)

A framework will be described for the planning of a Next Generation Burst Observatory. This Observatory, using Swift as a pathfinder mission, would study early star formation and early galaxy formation at very high redshifts through observations of thousands of GRBs, their afterglows and environments. It is suggested that the international GRB community should begin some initial studies for such an observatory.
