Gamma-Ray All-Sky Imaging with the Burst and Transient Source Experiment
S. E. Shaw, M. J. Westmore, A. B. Hill +6
The BATSE mission aboard CGRO monitored the whole sky in the 20 keV - 1 MeV energy band continuously from April 1991 until June 2000. Although BATSE had very poor intrinsic angular…

A Mass Model for Estimating the Gamma Ray Background of the Burst and Transient Source Experiment
S. E. Shaw, M. J. Westmore, A. J. Bird +4
Orbiting x-ray and gamma ray instruments are subject to large background count rates due to local particle fluxes in the space environment. The ability of an instrument to make cal…

Flat-Fielding BATSE Occultation Data for use in a Hard X-Ray All Sky Survey
S. E. Shaw, A. J. Bird, A. J. Dean +6
The BATSE mission aboard CGRO can be used to observe hard X-ray sources by using the Earth occultation method. This method relies on measuring a step in the count rate profile in e…
