A Plasma Instability Theory of Gamma-Ray Burst Emission
J. J. Brainerd
A plasma instability theory is presented for the prompt radiation from gamma-ray bursts. In the theory, a highly relativistic shell interacts with the interstellar medium through t…
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…
A Plasma Instability Theory of Gamma-Ray Burst Emission
J. J. Brainerd
A new theory for gamma-ray burst radiation is presented. In this theory, magnetic fields and relativistic electrons are created through plasma processes arising as a relativistic s…
The Fourth BATSE Gamma-Ray Burst Catalog (Revised)
W. S. Paciesas, C. A. Meegan, G. N. Pendleton +15
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…
The Error Distribution of BATSE GRB Locations
Michael S. Briggs, Geoffrey N. Pendleton, R. Marc Kippen +4
Empirical probability models for BATSE GRB location errors are developed via a Bayesian analysis of the separations between BATSE GRB locations and locations obtained with the Inte…
