Real-time Likelihood Methods for Improved γ-Ray Transient Detection and Localization

We present a maximum-likelihood (ML) algorithm that is fast enough to detect γ -ray transients in real time on low-performance processors often used for space applications. We validate the routine with simulations and find that, relative to algorithms based on excess counts, the ML method is nearly...
