The BATSE 9 year histories of the brightest AGN
A. B. Hill, E. J. Barlow, A. J. Bird +5
The Burst and Transient Source Experiment (BATSE) aboard CGRO monitored the whole sky through 8 NaI(Tl) crystal scintillators sensitive in the 20 keV - 2 MeV energy band continuous…
Gamma-Ray All Sky Imaging with BATSE
A. B. Hill, E. J. Barlow, A. J. Bird +5
The BATSE mission aboard CGRO observed the whole sky for 9 years in the 20 keV - 2 MeV energy band. Flat-fielding of the temporal variations in the background present in the data s…
MGGPOD: a Monte Carlo Suite for Modeling Instrumental Line and Continuum Backgrounds in Gamma-Ray Astronomy
G. Weidenspointner, M. J. Harris, S. Sturner +2
Intense and complex instrumental backgrounds, against which the much smaller signals from celestial sources have to be discerned, are a notorious problem for low and intermediate e…
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…
