Observing GRBs with EXIST

We describe the Energetic X‐ray Imaging Survey Telescope EXIST, designed to carry out a sensitive all‐sky survey in the 10 keV – 600 keV band. The primary goal of EXIST is to find black holes in the local and distant universe. EXIST also traces cosmic star formation via gamma‐ray bursts and gamma‐ray lines from radioactive elements ejected by supernovae and novae.
