Description
Through the use of the BALROG code's improved statistical treatment (https://arxiv.org/abs/1610.07385 , https://arxiv.org/abs/1902.01082), it is now possible to achieve superior localization performance for the Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) on-board the Fermi space telescope. The code is currently being used to rapidly localize gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), which positions are then shared with the rest of the community through our website. The locations can then be used for follow-up observations by other instruments. The code is open source, available at https://github.com/mpe-grb.
