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…
