WHY IS THIS INTERESTING?
Reverse shocks and radio flares (or lack thereof)
inform us on:
Magnetization of GRB jets,
Lorentz factor of ejecta,
Nature of ejecta (Baryonic vs Poynting flux
dominated).

QUESTIONS
Classification
Teo, Adam, Gosia.
Prioritization and scheduling
Well framed as an ‘Intelligent Agents’ /
computer science project.
Collaborating with Southampton IA group
(Amr Hussein).
5 MINUTE TOUR OF GRBS SWIFT-AMI UPDATE WHAT’S NEXT
SUMMARY
Swift-AMI ‘proof of concept’ has piqued
the interest from the GRB community.
‘Plumbing’ works fine.
Reduction process continues to evolve.
Follow-up prioritization and scheduling
system now in design phase.
