    Notizen: Abstract The BATSE and OSSE instrument teams have modified flight software to promptly (within 2 min of trigger) slew the OSSE detectors to burst locations determined on-board by BATSE. This enables OSSE to make sensitive searches for prompt and delayed post-burst line and continuum emission above 50 keV. In the best cases our sensitivity will be more than an order of magnitude better than any other search in this energy range. We expect to slew to 1–2 bursts per month, based on the OSSE FOV and BATSE event rate. Detections or limits from continued operation of this system may provide significant constraints on burst models. As an example of the observations made using this system, we present preliminary limits for post-burst emission from GRB 950223 on several time scales.

    Thema: Physik
    Notizen: Abstract 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) crystals viewed by photomultiplier tubes whose output in turn is measured by a pulse height analyzer. The calibration of these detectors has been complicated by frequent gain changes and by nonlinearities specific to the BATSE detectors. Nonlinearities in the light output from the NaI crystal and in the pulse height analyzer are shifted relative to each other by changes in the gain of the photomultiplier tube. We present the analytical model which is the basis of our calibration methodology, and outline how the empirical coefficients in this approach were determined. We also describe the complications peculiar to the Spectroscopy Detectors, and how our understanding of the detectors' operation led us to a solution to these problems.

    A search for prompt radio emission from GRBs (1995)

    Quelle: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Thema: Physik
    Notizen: Abstract The Cambridge Low Frequency Synthesis Telescope (CLFST) is being used to search for prompt radio emission from GRBs at 151 MHz. For this search a special observing mode has recently been developed; the antennas of the CLFST are split into seven groups which are spaced about 30° apart. When triggered by the real-time signals from the BACODINE system the antennas are slewed to the GRB position, with data being sampled at 1.5 or 3-s intervals. The antennas slew at about 10° per minute, so that an appreciable fraction of the sky can be accessed on timescales of a few minutes - any prompt radio emission from a GRB might be delayed by this timescale due to propagation effects.

    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publikationsdatum: 2011-08-24
    Beschreibung: Preliminary results pertaining to burst location using BATSE Large Area Detector measurements of solar flares are presented. These solar flare measurements are currently being used to fine tune the calibration of our data analysis software. The current status of techniques for identifying and eliminating systematic errors from the data analysis tools is discussed. Data revealing the effects of the atmospheric scattering algorithm that will be implemented in the data analysis software are presented.

    ROSAT X-Ray Observation of the Second Error Box for SGR 1900+14 (1997)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publikationsdatum: 2011-08-23
    Beschreibung: The positions of the two error boxes for the soft gamma repeater (SGR) 1900+14 were determined by the "network synthesis" method, which employs observations by the Ulysses gamma-ray burst and CGRO BATSE instruments. The location of the first error box has been observed at optical, infrared, and X-ray wavelengths, resulting in the discovery of a ROSAT X-ray point source and a curious double infrared source. We have recently used the ROSAT HRI to observe the second error box to complete the counterpart search. A total of six X-ray sources were identified within the field of view. None of them falls within the network synthesis error box, and a 3 sigma upper limit to any X-ray counterpart was estimated to be 6.35 x 10(exp -14) ergs/sq cm/s. The closest source is approximately 3 min. away, and has an estimated unabsorbed flux of 1.5 x 10(exp -12) ergs/sq cm/s. Unlike the first error box, there is no supernova remnant near the second error box. The closest one, G43.9+1.6, lies approximately 2.dg6 away. For these reasons, we believe that the first error box is more likely to be the correct one.

    The Optical Counterpart to Gamma-Ray Burst GRB 970228 Observed Using the Hubble Space Telescope (1997)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publikationsdatum: 2011-08-23
    Beschreibung: Although more than 2,000 astronomical gamma-ray bursts (GRBS) have been detected, and numerous models proposed to explain their occurrence, they have remained enigmatic owing to the lack of an obvious counterpart at other wavelengths. The recent ground-based detection of a transient optical source in the vicinity of GRB970228 may therefore have provided a breakthrough. The optical counterpart appears to be embedded in an extended source which, if a galaxy, as has been suggested would lend weight to those models that place GRBs at cosmological distances. Here we report, observations using the Hubble Space Telescope of the transient counterpart and extended source 26 and 39 days after the initial gamma-ray outburst. We find that the counterpart has faded since the initial detection (and continues to fade), but the extended source exhibits no significant change in brightness between the two dates of the observations reported here. The size and apparent constancy of the extended source imply that it is extragalactic, but its faintness makes a definitive statement about its nature difficult. Nevertheless, the decay profile of the transient source is consistent with a popular impulsive-fireball model13, which assumes a merger between two neutron stars in a distant galaxy.

    A Search for TeV Counterparts to BATSE Gamma-Ray Bursts (1997)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publikationsdatum: 2011-08-23
    Beschreibung: Intense effort has gone into the observation of optical, radio, and X-ray gamma-ray burst (GRB) counterparts, either simultaneous to the burst or as quasi-steady lingering remnants. Here we report on a similar study at higher energies of 250 GeV and above using ground-based telescopes. The recent technical advances represented by the atmospheric Cherenkov imaging technique (Cawley & Weekes 1995) have opened up the field of gamma-ray astronomy above 250 GeV and raised the possibility that these techniques can be used with excellent fluence sensitivity in exploring the GRB phenomenon. Observations by the Whipple collaboration of nine BATSE positions, one acquired within 2 minutes of the reported BATSE burst time, using coordinates distributed through the BATSE Coordinates Distribution Network (BACODINE) are reported. No evidence of TeV emission is found, and upper limits to the high-energy delayed or extended emission of observed candidates are calculated.

    The Identification of Two Different Spectral Types of Pulses in Gamma-Ray Bursts (1997)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publikationsdatum: 2011-08-23
    Beschreibung: It is shown in this study that two different types of spectral emission are generally produced in gamma-ray bursts. A subset of bursts is identified that exhibits a marked lack of fluence above 300 keV, and these bursts are shown to have luminosities about an order of magnitude lower than bursts with significant fluence above 300 keV. The bursts lacking emission above 300 keV exhibit an effectively homogeneous intensity distribution. In addition, it is shown that both types of emission are common in many bursts, demonstrating that a single source object is capable of generating both of them. These results strongly favor a gamma-ray burst source object that produces two different types of emission with varying degrees of superposition. The impact of this behavior is strong enough that it affects the properties of the burst intensity distribution, as well as the burst spectral characteristics.

    The Decay of Optical Emission from the gamma-Ray Burst GRB970228 (1997)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publikationsdatum: 2019-07-13
    Beschreibung: The origin of gamma-ray bursts has been one of the great unsolved mysteries in high-energy astrophysics for almost 30 years. The recent discovery of fading sources at X-ray and optical wavelengths coincident with the location of the gamma-ray burst GRB970228 therefore provides an unprecedented opportunity to probe the nature of these high-energy events. The optical counterpart appears to be a transient point source embedded in a region of extended nebulosity, the latter having been tentatively identified as a high-redshift galaxy. This would seem to favour models that place gamma-ray bursts at cosmological distances, although a range of mechanisms for producing the bursts is still allowed. A crucial piece of information for distinguishing between such models is how the brightness of the optical counterpart evolves with time. Here we re-evaluate the existing photometry of the optical counterpart of GRB970228 to construct an optical light curve for the transient event. We find that between 21 hours and six days after the burst, the R-band brightness decreased by a factor of approximately 40, with any subsequent decrease in brightness occurring at a much slower rate. As the point source faded, it also became redder. The initial behaviour of the source appears to be consistent with the 'fireball' model, but the subsequent decrease in the rate of fading may prove harder to explain.

    Observations of Gamma-Ray Bursts (2001)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publikationsdatum: 2019-07-18
    Beschreibung: Observations of Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) remain one of the most baffling phenomena in astrophysics. This talk will summarize the observations of GRBs with particular emphasis on those that present the greatest difficulty for theoretical interpretation. These include the short and highly variable temporal structure, the hard non-thermal spectra, and the enormous total energy output.
