چکیده

Between the launch of the Ulysses spacecraft in 1990 October and the entry of Pioneer Venus Orbiter (PVO) into the atmosphere of Venus in 1992 October, concurrent coverage by Ulysses, PVO, the WATCH experiments aboard the Granat and EURECA spacecraft, and the SIGMA and PHEBUS experiments aboard the Granat spacecraft was obtained for numerous gamma-ray bursts. 15 of them were detected by 3 or more instruments on spacecraft separated by distances of several AU, and could therefore be accurately localized by triangulation. In some cases independent, accurate locations were obtained by SIGMA and/or WATCH. We present these localizations, which range in area from 0.9 to 530 arcminutes.

The Ulysses Supplement to the BATSE 3B Catalog of Cosmic Gamma-Ray Bursts

We present Interplanetary Network localization information for 218 gamma-ray bursts in the 3rd BATSE catalog, obtained by analyzing the arrival times of these bursts at the Ulysses and Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory (CGRO) spacecraft. For any given burst observed by these two spacecraft, arrival time analysis (or “triangulation”) results in an annulus of possible arrival directions whose half-wi...

Constraints on the Gamma-ray Burst Luminosity Function from PVO and BATSE Observations

We examine the width of the gamma-ray burst luminosity function through the distribution of GRB peak fluxes as detected by the Pioneer Venus Orbiter (PVO) and the Burst and Transient Source Experiment (BATSE). The strength of the analysis is greatly enhanced by using a merged catalog of peak fluxes from both instruments with good cross-calibration of their sensitivities. The range of peak fluxe...

Search for a Radio Counterpart to Grb 940301

The COMPTEL instrument onboard the Compton Gamma{Ray Observatory imaged the bright gamma{ray burst GRB 940301 within 1.6 hours of the event, with a mean 1 error radius of 1.5. The error region was subsequently reened by combining the COMPTEL location with the arc derived from diierences in the event arrival time at the Ulysses and BATSE detectors. Westerbork observations of the COMPTEL error re...
