Gamma-Ray Burst Lines
Michael S. Briggs
The evidence for spectral features in gamma-ray bursts is summarized. As a guide for evaluating the evidence, the properties of gamma-ray detectors and the methods of analyzing gam…
Localizations of Thirteen Gamma-ray Bursts by the All-Sky Monitor on RXTE
D. A. Smith, A. M. Levine, H. V. Bradt +9
The All-Sky Monitor (ASM) on the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) has been used to localize thirteen confirmed X-ray counterparts to Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) detected over three y…
Average Cosmological Invariant Parameters of Cosmic Gamma Ray Burst
I. G. Mitrofanov, D. S. Anfimov, M. L. Litvak +5
Average cosmological invariant parameters (ACIPs) are calculated for six groups of BATSE cosmic gamma-ray bursts selected by their peak fluxes on the 1.024 s time scale. The ACIPs…
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…
Spectral Energy Distributions and Light Curves of GRB 990123 and its Afterglow
T. J. Galama, M. S. Briggs, R. A. M. J. Wijers +38
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are thought to result from the interaction of an extremely relativistic outflow interacting with a small amount of material surrounding the site of the expl…
Analysis of Line Candidates in Gamma-Ray Bursts Observed by BATSE
M. S. Briggs, D. L. Band, R. D. Preece +2
A comprehensive search of BATSE Spectroscopy Detector data from 117 GRBs has uncovered 13 statistically significant line candidates. The case of a candidate in GRB 930916 is discus…
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…
