BATSE Observations of Gamma-Ray Burst Tails
With the discovery of low-energy radiation appearing to come from the site of gamma-ray bursts in the hours to weeks after the initial burst of gamma rays, it would appear that astronomers have seen a cosmological imprint made by the burster on its surroundings. I discuss in this paper the phenomenon of post-burst emission in BATSE gamma-ray bursts at energies traditionally associated with prom...
متن کاملPossible EGRET Gamma-Ray Burst Detection Independent of BATSE Triggering
EGRET spark chamber data collected between 1991 April 22 and 1994 August 29 have been analyzed for gamma-ray burst events independent of BATSE triggering. To date, ve gamma-ray bursts that are coincident with a trigger from the BATSE instrument have been detected in the EGRET spark chamber. The EGRET-detected bursts have high energy power law tails and, in some cases, long duration emission. Be...
متن کاملUsing BATSE to measure gamma-ray burst polarization
We describe a technique for measuring the polarization of hard X-rays from-ray bursts based on the angular distribution of that portion of the ux which is scattered oo the top of the Earth's atmosphere. The scattering cross section depends not only on the scatter angle itself, but on the orientation of the scatter angle with respect to the incident polarization vector. Consequently, the distrib...
متن کاملThe Fourth Batse Gamma-ray Burst Catalog (revised)
The Burst and Transient Source Experiment (BATSE) on the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory (CGRO) has triggered on 1637 cosmic gamma-ray bursts between 1991 April 19 and 1996 August 29. These events constitute the Fourth BATSE burst catalog. The current version (4Br) has been revised from the version first circulated on CD-ROM in September 1997 (4B) to include improved locations for a subset of bur...
متن کاملBatse Gamma-ray Burst Line Search: Iii. Line Detectability
We evaluate the ability of the BATSE spectroscopy detectors to detect the absorption lines observed by Ginga in gamma ray burst spectra. We find that BATSE can detect the 20.6 keV line in the S1 segment of GB870303 with a detection probability of ∼ 1/4 in nearly normally incident bursts, with the probability dropping off to nearly 0 at a burst angle of 50◦; the lines at 19.4 and 38.8 keV lines ...
