    Selection effects and tests of repetition (clustering) in the BATSE 1B catalog

    A “repeater statistic” (derived from the two-point angular correlation function and accounting for location errors) is used to identify constraints on the rate of burst repetition from the BATSE 1B catalog. Be...

    Constraints on the luminosities of gamma-ray bursts

    Constraints are found on the gamma-ray burst luminosity function from an analysis of the combined BATSE/PVO intensity distribution. If bursts originate in an extended Galactic halo, then the intrinsic luminosi...

    The Imaging Liquid Xenon-Coded Aperture Telescope (LXe-CAT)

    We describe a unique γ-ray imaging telescope operating in the energy range 0.3-10 MeV. The basic element of the telescope is a liquid xenon time projection chamber (LXe-TPC) as γ-ray spectrometer and 3-D image...

    The intrinsic luminosity of γ-ray bursts and their host galaxies

    THE Burst and Transient Source Experiment (BATSE) on the Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory has shown that, although γ-ray bursts are distributed isotropically on the sky, there is an apparent dearth of weak events...

    Batse spectroscopy detector calibration

    We describe the channel-to-energy calibration of the Spectroscopy Detectors of the Burst and Transient Source Experiment (BATSE) on the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory (GRO). These detectors consist of NaI(Tl) c...
