The detector response matrices of the burst and transient source experiment (BATSE) on the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory [PDF]
Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section B: Beam Interactions with Materials and Atoms, 1995 Abstract The detector response matrices for the Burst And Transient Source Experiment (BATSE) on board the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory (CGRO) are described, including their creation and operation in data analysis. These response matrices are a detailed abstract representation of the gamma-ray detectors' operating characteristics that are needed for

ON THE THEORY OF GAMMA RAY BURSTS AND HYPERNOVAE: THE BLACK HOLE SOFT X-RAY TRANSIENT SOURCES [PDF]
International Journal of Modern Physics A, 2003 We show that a common evolutionary history can produce the black hole binaries in the Galaxy in which the black holes have masses of ~ 5 - 10M⊙. In the black hole binaries with low-mass, ≲ 2.5M⊙ ZAMS (zero age main sequence) companions, the latter remain in main sequence during the active stage of soft X-ray transients (SXT's), most of them being of K

Transient X-ray sources in the field of the unidentified gamma-ray source TeV J2032+4130 in Cygnus [PDF]
Astrophysics and Space Science, 2007 We present an analysis of Chandra ACIS observations of the field of TeV J2032+4130, the first unidentified TeV source, detected serendipitously by HEGRA. This deep (48.7 ksec) observation of the field follows up on an earlier 5 ksec Chandra director's discretionary observation.

Terrestrial gamma ray flashes observed aboard the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory/Burst and Transient Source Experiment and ELF/VLF radio atmospherics [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 2006 During its 9‐year lifetime in orbit, the Burst and Transient Source Experiment (BATSE) detector, aboard the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory (CGRO) spacecraft, observed a total of 76 terrestrial gamma ray flashes (TGFs). Of these, simultaneous broadband ELF/VLF data from Palmer Station, Antarctica, were found to be available for six new TGF cases in ...

A mass model for estimating the gamma ray background of the Burst and Transient Source Experiment [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2003 Orbiting x-ray and gamma ray instruments are subject to large background count rates due to local particle fluxes in the space environment. The ability of an instrument to make calibrated measurements of the flux from a source of interest is highly dependent on accurately determining the background level.

AGILE Observations of Variable and transient $\gamma$-ray sources in the Galactic plane, Catalog improvements [PDF]
Proceedings of 25th Texas Symposium on Relativistic Astrophysics — PoS(Texas 2010), 2011 AGILE has provided continuous monitoring of the Galactic plane in γ-rays in more than three years of operation [1]. Thanks to its sensitivity at energies near 100 MeV, AGILE has observed variability and transient behavior in a number of sources. Simultaneous hard X-ray coverage, rapid alerts to the astronomical community, and multiwavelength campaigns ...

Instrument for observing transient cosmic gamma-ray sources for the ISEE-C Heliocentric spacecraft [PDF]
, 1977 Satellite instrumentation that would serve as one element of a three-satellite network to provide precise directional information for the recently discovered cosmic gamma-ray bursts is described. The proposed network would be capable of determining source locations with uncertainties of less than one arc minute, sufficient for a meaningful optical and ...
