摘要：In the first two years since the launch of the Fermi Observatory, the Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) has detected over 500 Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs), of which 18 were confidently detected by the Large Are Telescope (LAT) above 100 MeV. Thanks to the thick Bismuth Germanate (BGO) scintillation detectors and the high time resolution, the GBM system has unprecedented capabilities for the detection of short & hard GRBs. Besides GRBs, GBM has triggered on other transient sources, such as Soft Gamma Repeaters (SGRs), Terrestrial Gamma-ray Flashes (TGFs) and solar flares. Here we present the science highlights of the GBM observations.
