Are There MeV Gamma-Ray Bursts?
It is often stated that gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have typical energies of several hundred keV, where the typical energy may be characterized by the hardness H , the photon energy corresponding to the peak of νFν . Among the 54 BATSE bursts analyzed by Band et. al. more than half have 100keV < H < 400keV. Is the narrow range of H a real feature of GRBs or is it due to an observational bias? We co...
متن کاملCOMPTEL Measurements of MeV Gamma-Ray Burst Spectra
We present results from the on-going spectral analysis of gamma-ray bursts measured by the COMPTEL instrument in its main Compton \Telescope" observing mode (0.75{30 MeV). Thus far, 18 bursts have been analyzed from three years (April 1991 { April 1994) of observations. The time-averaged spectra of these events above 1 MeV are all consistent with a simple power law model with spectral index in ...
متن کاملON THE ORIGIN OF THE MeV GAMMA-RAY BACKGROUND
In this paper, we suggest a new hypothesis for explaining the spectrum of the extragalactic MeV γ-ray background as observed by COMPTEL and SMM. We propose that both the flux level and spectrum can be accounted for as a superposition of non-thermal MeV tails in the spectra of Seyfert galaxies and other AGN. Although present detectors are not sensitive enough to obtain MeV data from individual e...
متن کاملAngular Correlations of the Mev Cosmic Gamma Ray Background
The measured cosmic gamma ray background (CGB) spectrum at MeV energies is in reasonable agreement with the predicted contribution from type Ia supernovae (SNIa). But the characteristic features in the SNIa gamma ray spectrum, weakened by integration over source redshifts, are hard to measure, and additionally the contributions from other sources in the MeV range are uncertain, so that the SNIa...
متن کاملMeV Gamma-Ray Imaging Detector with micro-TPC
We propose a new imaging gamma-ray detector in the MeV region. By measuring the directions and energies of not only a scattered gamma ray but also a recoil electron, the direction of an incident gamma ray would be essentially reconstructed event by event. Furthermore, one of two measured (zenith and azimuth) angles of a recoil electron gives us an additional redundancy which enables us to rejec...
