The Soft Gamma-Ray Spectral Variability of Cygnus X-1
M. L. McConnell, A. A. Zdziarski, K. Bennett +11
We have used observations of Cygnus X-1 from the Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory (CGRO) and BeppoSAX to study the variation in the MeV gamma-ray emission between the hard and soft sp…
The GLAST Burst Monitor (GBM)
G. G. Lichti, M. S. Briggs, R. Diehl +9
The selection of the GLAST burst monitor (GBM) by NASA will allow the investigation of the relation between the keV and the MeV-GeV emission from gamma-ray bursts. The GBM consists…
The Burst and Transient Source Experiment Earth Occultation Technique
B. A. Harmon, G. J. Fishman, C. A. Wilson +7
An Earth orbiting detector sensitive to gamma ray photons will see step-like occultation features in its counting rate when a gamma ray point source crosses the Earth's limb. This…
Spectral Properties of Short Gamma-Ray Bursts
W. S. Paciesas, R. D. Preece, M. S. Briggs +1
The distribution of GRB durations is bimodal, but there is little additional evidence to support the division of GRBs into short and long classes. Based on simple hardness ratios,…
Gamma-Ray Spectral Variability of Cygnus X-1
M. L. McConnell, K. Bennett, H. Bloemen +11
We have used observations from CGRO to study the variation in the MeV emission of Cygnus X-1 between its low and high X-ray states. These data provide a measurement of the spectral…
