“…A deviation from a homogeneous distribution was also found by BATSE (Fishman et al 1994). Nevertheless, the substitution of peak counts for peak fluxes causes an unknown uncertainty in the SPI-ACS results.…”

Abstract. We present the sample of gamma-ray bursts detected with the anti-coincidence shield ACS of the spectrometer SPI on-board INTEGRAL for the first 26.5 months of mission operation (up to Jan. 2005). SPI-ACS works as a nearly omnidirectional gamma-ray burst detector above ∼80 keV but lacks spatial and spectral information. In this catalogue, the properties derived from the 50 ms light curves (e.g., T 90 , C max , C int , variability, V/V max ) are given for each candidate burst in the sample. A strong excess of very short events with durations <0.25 s is found. This population is shown to be significantly different from the short-and long-duration burst sample by means of the intensity distribution and V/V max test and is certainly connected with cosmic ray hits in the detector. A rate of 0.3 true gamma-ray bursts per day is observed.

“…The on-board burst trigger is disabled during the accumulation interval of a previous trigger, so another burst occurring during this time cannot cause an on-board trigger. The on-board trigger is also disabled while the spacecraft passes over certain geographic locations associated with a high risk of "" false ÏÏ triggers caused by precipitation of quasi-trapped radiation belt electrons (Fishman et al 1994 ;Datlowe et al 1995).…”

“…They are caused by other impulsive transients (such as solar Ñares and bursts from X-ray binaries), magnetospheric phenomena, and by aperiodic variability from bright X-ray binaries.

“…The physical parameters listed in it are therefore those that the BATSE team reports for on-boardÈtriggered GRBs (Fishman et al 1994 ;Meegan et al 1996Meegan et al , 1998Paciesas et al 1999). These quantities are source direction, duration, peak photon Ñux, Ñuence, and the ratio of the maximum count rate observed during the burst to the minimum count rate required for detection.…”

“…Among the many causes of on-board burst triggers are GRBs, solar Ñares, magnetospheric particle precipitations, bursts from soft gamma-ray repeaters (SGRs), and variability from X-ray binaries. The BATSE operations team continually scrutinizes and catalogs the on-boardÈtriggered events (Fishman et al 1994 ;Meegan et al 1994Meegan et al , 1998Paciesas et al 1999).…”

The Burst and Transient Source Experiment (BATSE) on the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory detects gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) with a real-time burst detection (or "" trigger ÏÏ) system running onboard the spacecraft. Under some circumstances, however, a GRB may not activate the on-board burst trigger. For example, the burst may be too faint to exceed the on-board detection threshold, or it may occur while the on-board burst trigger is disabled for technical reasons. This paper describes a catalog of 873 "" nontriggered ÏÏ GRBs that were detected in a search of the archival continuous data from BATSE recorded between 1991 December 9.0 and 1997 December 17.0. For each burst, the catalog gives an estimated source direction, duration, peak Ñux, and Ñuence. Similar data are presented for 50 additional bursts of unknown origin that were detected in the 25È50 keV range ; these events may represent the low-energy "" tail ÏÏ of the GRB spectral distribution. This catalog increases the number of GRBs detected with BATSE by 48% during the time period covered by the search.

Methods for identifying high‐redshift galaxy cluster candidates

et al. 2019

Recent theories linked long gamma ray bursts (GRBs) to galaxies with rapid star formation or starburst; thus, we expect that long GRBs (LGRBs) are more frequent in midcluster galaxies where mergers and tidal interactions between gas-rich galaxies are more likely to occur. Yet there is no galaxy cluster known to be associated with LGRBs. We demonstrate that, based on deep, single-band Subaru Hyper Suprime-Cam observations, we may provide constraints on photometric redshifts of groups of galaxies. We compare three methods: cosmological approach, pseudoinverse matrix, and random forests to estimate galaxy and quasar redshifts. Comparing our results to spectroscopic redshifts of Sloan Digital Sky Survey's-detected extragalactic sources, random forests may provide the highest accuracy with as low as 17 percentage error. This is a powerful method to find clusters to place GRB host galaxies in their local environment.
