The BATSE Gamma-Ray Burst Spectral Catalog. I. High Time Resolution Spectroscopy of Bright Bursts Using High Energy Resolution Data
- R. Preece, M. Briggs, R. Mallozzi, G. Pendleton, W. Paciesas, D. Band
- Physics
- 10 August 1999
This is the first in a series of gamma-ray burst spectroscopy catalogs from the Burst and Transient Source Experiment (BATSE) on the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory, each covering a different aspect of… Expand
Identification of two classes of gamma-ray bursts
- C. Kouveliotou, C. Meegan, +5 authors G. Pendleton
- Physics
- 20 August 1993
We have studied the duration distribution of the gamma-ray bursts of the first BATSE catalog. We find a bimodality in the distribution, which separates GRBs into two classes: short events (less than… Expand
THE fermi gamma-ray burst monitor
- C. Meegan, G. Lichti, +18 authors C. Wilson-Hodge
- Physics
- 4 August 2009
The Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor (GBM) will significantly augment the science return from the Fermi Observatory in the study of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). The primary objective of GBM is to extend the… Expand
The Complete Spectral Catalog of Bright BATSE Gamma-Ray Bursts
We present a systematic spectral analysis of 350 bright gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) observed with the Burst and Transient Source Experiment (BATSE; ~30 keV-2 MeV) with high temporal and spectral… Expand
An Ordinary Short Gamma-Ray Burst with Extraordinary Implications: Fermi-GBM Detection of GRB 170817A
- A. Goldstein, P. Veres, +27 authors M. Stanbro
- Physics
- 16 October 2017
On August 17, 2017 at 12:41:06 UTC the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) detected and triggered on the short gamma-ray burst GRB 170817A. Approximately 1.7 s prior to this GRB, the Laser… Expand
Attributes of Pulses in Long Bright Gamma-Ray Bursts

Understanding the Long-Term Spectral Variability of Cygnus X-1 with Burst and Transient Source Experiment and All-Sky Monitor Observations
- A. Zdziarski, J. Poutanen, W. Paciesas, L. Wen
- Physics
- 10 October 2002
We present a comprehensive analysis of all observations of Cyg X-1 by the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory Burst and Transient Source Experiment (BATSE; 20-300 keV) and by the Rossi X-Ray Timing… Expand
Localization and broadband follow-up of the gravitational-wave transient GW150914
- B. Abbott, R. Abbott, +1,514 authors S. Rosswog
- Physics
- 26 February 2016
A gravitational-wave (GW) transient was identified in data recorded by the Advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) detectors on 2015 September 14. The event, initially… Expand
Orbital, precessional and flaring variability of Cygnus X-1
- C. Brocksopp, R. Fender, +5 authors P. Roche
- Physics
- 23 June 1999
We present the results of a 2.5-yr multiwavelength monitoring programme of Cygnus X-l, making use of hard and soft X-ray data, optical spectroscopy, UBVJHK photometry and radio data. In particular,… Expand
The first BATSE gamma-ray burst catalog
- G. Fishman, C. Meegan, +11 authors J. P. Lestrade
- 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
