TL;DR: The Swift mission as discussed by the authors is a multi-wavelength observatory for gamma-ray burst (GRB) astronomy, which is a first-of-its-kind autonomous rapid-slewing satellite for transient astronomy and pioneers the way for future rapid-reaction and multiwavelength missions.

TL;DR: The burst alert telescope (BAT) as discussed by the authors is one of three instruments on the Swift MIDEX spacecraft to study gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and it detects the GRB and localizes the burst direction to an accuracy of 1-4 arcmin within 20 s after the start of the event.
Non-linear Least Squares Fitting in IDL with MPFIT
TL;DR: MPFIT is a port to IDL of the non-linear least squares fitting program MINPACK-1 that inherits the robustness of the original FORTRAN version of MINPack-1, but is optimized for performance and convenience in IDL.
