چکیده
In 2015, the Gamma-Ray Observation of Winter Thunderstorms (GROWTH) collaboration launched a mapping observation campaign for high-energy atmospheric phenomena related to thunderstorms and lightning discharges. This has developed detection network gamma rays with up 10 radiation monitors installed in cities Kanazawa Komatsu, Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan, where low-charge-center winter frequently occur. During four seasons from October 2016 April 2020, total 70 gamma-ray glows, i.e., minute-lasting bursts originating thunderclouds, were detected. Their average duration is 58.9 s. Among detected events, 77% observed at night. The glows can be classified into temporally symmetric, asymmetric, lightning-terminated types based on their count-rate histories. An averaged energy spectrum well fitted power-law function an exponential cutoff, whose photon index, cutoff energy, flux are $0.613\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.009$ MeV, $4.68\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.04$ $(1.013\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.003)\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{10}^{\ensuremath{-}5}$ erg ${\mathrm{cm}}^{\ensuremath{-}2}\phantom{\rule{0.16em}{0ex}}{\mathrm{s}}^{\ensuremath{-}1}$ (0.2--20.0 MeV), respectively. present paper provides catalog statistical analysis during Komatsu areas.

In‐Flight Observation of Gamma Ray Glows by ILDAS
An Airbus A340 aircraft flew over Northern Australia with the In-Flight Lightning Damage Assessment System (ILDAS) installed onboard. A long-duration gamma ray emission was detected. The most intense emission was observed at 12 km altitude and lasted for 20 s. Its intensity was 20 times the background counts, and it was abruptly terminated by a distant lightning flash. In this work we reconstru...
متن کاملThe GUSBAD Catalog of Gamma-Ray Bursts
The GUSBAD catalog of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) is based on archival BATSE DISCLA data covering the full 9.1 years of the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory mission. The catalog contains 2204 GRBs, including 589 bursts not listed in the Current Batse Burst Catalog. The GUSBAD catalog is uniform in the sense that the detection criteria are the same throughout and that the properties given in the catalo...
متن کاملAssessment of variations in Indian Bubalus bubalis seminal plasma proteins during winter and summer seasons
The Indian riverine buffaloes are more susceptible to variations in the environment. These variations affect seminal plasma proteins, which in turn affect fertility. This study was conducted to evaluate variations in the Indian Bubalus bubalis seminal plasma protein profile using two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (2D-PAGE) during winter and summer seasons, and its relation wit...
متن کاملNeutrinos From Individual Gamma-Ray Bursts in the BATSE Catalog
We estimate the neutrino emission from individual gamma-ray bursts observed by the BATSE detector on the Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory. Neutrinos are produced by photoproduction of pions when protons interact with photons in the region where the kinetic energy of the relativistic fireball is dissipated allowing the acceleration of electrons and protons. We also consider models where neutrinos a...
متن کاملThe Complete Spectral Catalog of Bright BATSE Gamma-Ray Bursts
We present a systematic spectral analysis of 350 bright GRBs observed with BATSE, with high spectral and temporal resolution. Our sample was selected from the complete set of 2704 BATSE GRBs, and included 17 short GRBs. To obtain well-constrained spectral parameters, four different photon models were fitted and the spectral parameters that best represent each spectrum were statistically determi...
