The Role of the BATSE Instrument Response in Creating the Gamma-Ray Burst E-Peak Distribution
J. J. Brainerd, G. Pendleton, R. Mallozzi +2
All gamma-ray bursts are observed to have approximately the same characteristic gamma-ray energy. We show in this article that for bursts in the BATSE data set, this property as me…
X-Ray Light Curves of Gamma-ray Bursts Detected with the All-Sky Monitor on RXTE
D. A. Smith, A. Levine, H. Bradt +6
We present X-ray light curves (1.5-12 keV) for fifteen gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) detected by the All-Sky Monitor on the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer. We compare these soft X-ray light…
The Statistics of the BATSE Spectral Features
D. Band, J. Matteson, M. Briggs +3
The absence of a BATSE line detection in a gamma-ray burst spectrum during the mission's first six years has led to a statistical analysis of the occurrence of lines in the BATSE b…
BATSE Gamma-Ray Burst Line Search: II. Bayesian Consistency Methodology
D. L. Band, L. A. Ford, J. L. Matteson +7
We describe a Bayesian methodology to evaluate the consistency between the reported Ginga and BATSE detections of absorption features in gamma ray burst spectra. Currently no featu…
