چکیده

We present Interplanetary Network localization information for 218 gamma-ray bursts in the 3rd BATSE catalog, obtained by analyzing the arrival times of these bursts at the Ulysses and Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory (CGRO) spacecraft. For any given burst observed by these two spacecraft, arrival time analysis (or “triangulation”) results in an annulus of possible arrival directions whose half-width varies between 7 arcseconds and 32 arcminutes, depending on the intensity and time history of the burst, and the distance of the Ulysses spacecraft from Earth. This annulus generally intersects the BATSE error circle, resulting in an average reduction of the error box area of a factor of 30. Subject headings: gamma-rays: bursts; catalogs

The Ulysses Supplement to the BATSE 4Br Catalog of Cosmic Gamma-Ray Bursts

We present Interplanetary Network localization information for 147 gammaray bursts observed by the Burst and Transient Source Experiment between the end of the 3rd BATSE catalog and the end of the 4th BATSE catalog, obtained by analyzing the arrival times of these bursts at the Ulysses and Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory (CGRO) spacecraft. For any given burst observed by these two spacecraft, arr...

Probing the Small-scale Angular Distribution of Gamma-ray Bursts with Combined Batse/ulysses 4b Locations

We investigate the angular distribution of gamma-ray bursts using the largest catalog of welllocalized events that is currently available—combined BATSE/Ulysses burst locations. We present the preliminary spatial analysis of 415 BATSE/Ulysses bursts included in the BATSE 4B catalog. We find that the locations are consistent with largeand small-scale isotropy, with no significant clustering or r...

No Evidence for Gamma-Ray Burst/Abell Cluster or Gamma- Ray Burst/Radio-Quiet Quasar Correlations

We examine the recent claims that cosmic gamma-ray bursts are associated with either radio-quiet quasars or Abell clusters. These associations were based on positional coincidences between cataloged quasars or Abell clusters, and selected events from the BATSE 3B catalog of gamma-ray bursts. We use a larger sample of gamma-ray bursts with more accurate positions, obtained by the 3rd Interplanet...

The Fourth Batse Gamma-ray Burst Catalog (revised)

The Burst and Transient Source Experiment (BATSE) on the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory (CGRO) has triggered on 1637 cosmic gamma-ray bursts between 1991 April 19 and 1996 August 29. These events constitute the Fourth BATSE burst catalog. The current version (4Br) has been revised from the version first circulated on CD-ROM in September 1997 (4B) to include improved locations for a subset of bur...

A Test of Gamma Ray Burst Recurrence in the Batse 3b Data Set

We analyse the BATSE 3B catalog using the pair-matching statistic. This statistic counts only the burst pairs which may have originated from the same source, so it is less likely to yield false detections of \repeating bursts" than the nearest neighbor and correlation function statistics. Even in the ideal case when repeating is the only possible source of burst correlations, the pair matching ...
