Gamma Rays and the Ionosphere
Solar ionization disappears at night Recombination rates on the order of ms Nighttime density maintained by cosmic ray flux

Gamma-ray bursts
Associated with very energetic explosions Collapsing star
Supernova formation
Typically lasts a few ms to several minutes
Accidentally discovered by Vela-3 spacecraft in 1967

Gamma-ray waveform
Broad variety of durations and shapes

GRBs/SGRs and VLF sensing
VLF remote sensing of D-region ionosphere
GRBs repeatedly disturb ionosphere
