On 23 February 1989 an apparent bun1 of ultra-high energy gamma-rays was uharlvcd imnr lhr dircl-lion ui thc Crab Nebula hy thr Baksan Air Shower Army. l 3 h e resull of checking and reanalysis oi these data is reponed. n e excess in the number of wents n h v r lnckgmund has a reduccd slalistical signilicancc hul this is compensated for B phase analysis wlh rwpcct to 1hc Cmb pulsar cycle which shows the ~[ccss lo hvaur one phase bin. 'lhc agreement ol 1hc evidence irom other arrays is discussed.We first reported the Crab event of 23 February 1989, an apparent burst of gammarays with energies above -200 X V observed with the Baksan Air Shower Array (BASA), at the Crimea Workshop on W E Gamma Ray ATtronomy [l]. Unlike the three day enhancement of daily ONiOFF ratio for Cyg X-3 in October 1985 [2],when the search was stimulated by the observation of a radio-burst, this Crab event was found simply as the most extreme fluctuation of the daily ratio in 1256 days of obselvation between 1985 and 1989. Our publication stimubated searches in their data
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
