Accounting for Calibration Uncertainties in X-ray Analysis: Effective Areas in Spectral Fitting
Hyunsook Lee, Vinay L. Kashyap, David A. van Dyk +9
While considerable advance has been made to account for statistical uncertainties in astronomical analyses, systematic instrumental uncertainties have been generally ignored. This…
On Computing Upper Limits to Source Intensities
Vinay L. Kashyap, David A. van Dyk, Alanna Connors +4
A common problem in astrophysics is determining how bright a source could be and still not be detected. Despite the simplicity with which the problem can be stated, the solution in…
Analysis of Energy Spectra with Low Photon Counts via Bayesian Posterior Simulation
David A. van Dyk, Alanna Connors, Vinay L. Kashyap +1
Over the past 10 years Bayesian methods have rapidly grown more popular as several computationally intensive statistical algorithms have become feasible with increased computer pow…
The first COMPTEL Source Catalogue
V. Schoenfelder, the COMPTEL Collaboration
The imaging Compton telescope COMPTEL aboard NASA's Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory has opened the MeV gamma-ray band as a new window to astronomy. COMPTEL provided the first complet…
The X-Ray Characteristics of a Classical Gamma-Ray Burst and its Afterglow
A. Connors, G. J. Hueter
The serendipitous observation of GRB 780506 by co-aligned gamma-ray (HEAO 1 A-4 0.02 - 6 MeV) and X-ray (HEAO 1 A-2 2-60 keV) instruments during a six hour pointing at a blank sect…
The Locations of Gamma-Ray Bursts Measured by COMPTEL
R. Marc Kippen, James M. Ryan, Alanna Connors +8
The COMPTEL instrument on the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory is used to measure the locations of gamma-ray bursts through direct imaging of MeV photons. In a comprehensive search, w…
COMPTEL detection of the high-energy gamma-ray source 2CG 135+01
R. van Dijk, K. Bennett, H. Bloemen +11
We present an analysis of COMPTEL observations made between November 1991 and May 1994 of 2CG 135+01, a bright gamma-ray source located near the Galactic plane. At energies above 1…
