Discovery of a Nonblazar Gamma-Ray Transient Source Near the Galactic Plane: GRO J1838−04 [PDF]
, 1997 We report the discovery of a remarkable γ-ray transient source near the Galactic plane, GRO J1838-04. This source was serendipitously discovered by EGRET in 1995 June with a peak intensity of ~(4 ± 1) × 10-6 photons cm-2 s-1 (for photon energies larger ...

Variable gamma-ray emission from the Be/X-ray transient A0535+26? [PDF]
, 2001 We present a study of the unidentified gamma-ray source 3EG J0542+2610. This source is spatially superposed to the supernova remnant G180.0-1.7, but its time variability makes unlikely a physical link.

The Burst and Transient Source Experiment (BATSE) Earth Occultation Catalog of Low‐Energy Gamma‐Ray Sources [PDF]
, 2004 The Burst and Transient Source Experiment (BATSE), aboard the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory (CGRO), provided a record of the low-energy gamma-ray sky (∼20-1000 keV) between 1991 April and 2000 May (9.1 yr).

On the X-ray Outbursts of Transient Anomalous X-ray Pulsars and Soft Gamma-ray Repeaters [PDF]
, 2012 We show that the X-ray outburst light curves of four transient anomalous X-ray pulsars (AXPs) and soft gamma-ray repeaters (SGRs), namely XTE J1810-197, SGR 0501+4516, SGR 1627-41 and CXOU J164710.2-455216, can be produced by the fallback disk model that

Radioactively Powered Gamma-Ray Transient Associated with a Kilonova from Neutron Star Merger [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2022 The association of GW170817/GRB 170817A/AT2017gfo provides the first direct evidence for neutron star mergers as significant sources of r-process nucleosynthesis.

First Combined Study on Lorentz Invariance Violation from Observations of Energy-dependent Time Delays from Multiple-type Gamma-Ray Sources. I. Motivation, Method Description, and Validation through Simulations of H.E.S.S., MAGIC, and VERITAS Data Sets [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2022 Gamma-ray astronomy has become one of the main experimental ways to test the modified dispersion relations (MDRs) of photons in vacuum, obtained in some attempts to formulate a theory of quantum gravity.
