- Physics
- 1 May 1994
The Burst and Transient Source Experiment (BATSE) on the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory (CGRO) has triggered on 1637 cosmic gamma-ray bursts between 1991 April 19 and 1996 August 29. These events… Expand
The Third BATSE Gamma-Ray Burst Catalog
- C. Meegan, G. Pendleton, +12 authors G. Fishman
- Physics
- 1 September 1996
The Burst and Transient Source Experiment (BATSE) on the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory (CGRO) has triggered on 1122 cosmic gamma-ray bursts between 1991 April 19 and 1994 September 19. These events… Expand
BATSE observations of gamma-ray burst spectra. I: Spectral diversity
- J. Matteson, L. Ford, +11 authors P. Lestrade
- Physics
- 10 August 1993
We studied the time-averaged gamma-ray burst spectra accumulated by the spectroscopy detectors of the Burst and Transient Source Experiment. The spectra are described well at low energy by a… Expand
Discovery of the Orbit of the X-Ray Pulsar OAO 1657-415
- D. Chakrabarty, J. Grunsfeld, +6 authors W. Paciesas
- Physics
- 20 January 1993
Timing observations of the 38 s accreting X-ray pulsar OAO 1657-415 made with the BATSE large-area detectors on the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory have revealed a binary orbit with an X-ray eclipse by… Expand
A new type of transient high-energy source in the direction of the Galactic Centre
- C. Kouveliotou, J. V. Paradijs, +5 authors W. Lewin
- Physics
- Nature
- 29 February 1996
SOURCES of high-energy (>20 keV) bursts fall into two distinct types: the non-repeating γ-ray bursters1, several thousand of which have been detected but whose origin remains unknown, and the soft… Expand
Time evolution of terrestrial gamma ray flashes
- B. Grefenstette, D. Smith, J. Dwyer, G. Fishman
- Physics
- 1 March 2008
[1] We present a study of the time evolution of TGFs observed by both RHESSI and BATSE and compare the data with Monte Carlo simulations of relativistic runaway electron avalanches that record the… Expand
First results on terrestrial gamma ray flashes from the Fermi Gamma‐ray Burst Monitor
- M. Briggs, G. Fishman, +14 authors A. Chekhtman
- Physics, Geology
- 1 July 2010
[1] The Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) on the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope detected 12 intense terrestrial gamma ray flashes (TGFs) during its first year of observation. Typical maximum energies… Expand
Observations of 4U 1700-37 with BATSE
- B. C. Rubin, M. Finger, +9 authors M. Roberts
- Physics
- 1 March 1996
The eclipsing binary X-ray source 4U 1700-37 has been continually monitored by the BATSE experiment on the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory since the spring of 1991. Using source measurements at times… Expand
The rarity of soft γ-ray repeaters deduced from reactivation of SGR1806 – 20
- C. Kouveliotou, G. Fishman, +8 authors D. Green
- Physics
- Nature
- 10 March 1994
ONLY two different types of γ-ray transient sources are presently known: over one thousand γ-ray bursters (GRBs) and only three soft γ-ray repeaters (SGRs). The latter are distinguished by their… Expand
