Low-Energy Spectral Features in GRBs
Michael S. Briggs
I discuss low-energy lines in gamma-ray bursts. The process of deconvolving gamma-ray spectral data and the steps needed to demonstrate the existence of a line are explained. Previ…
A Comprehensive Search for Low-Energy Lines in BATSE GRBs
Michael S. Briggs, David L. Band, Robert D. Preece +4
A computer-based technique has been developed to search bright BATSE gamma-ray bursts for spectral lines in a comprehensive manner. The first results of the search are discussed an…
Testing the Dipole and Quadrupole Moments of Galactic Models
Michael S. Briggs, William S. Paciesas, Geoffrey N. Pendleton +6
If gamma-ray bursts originate in the Galaxy, at some level there should be a galactic pattern in their distribution on the sky. We test published galactic models by comparing their…
Search for Supergalactic Anisotropies in the 3B Catalog
Dieter H. Hartmann, Michael S. Briggs, Karl Mannheim
The angular distribution of GRBs is isotropic, while the brightness distribution of bursts shows a reduced number of faint events. These observations favor a cosmological burst ori…
