Abstract
The imaging Compton telescope COMPTEL onboard the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory can localize gamma-ray bursts occurring inside its ∼1 sr field-of-view in the energy range from 0.75 to 30 MeV with location accuracy of ∼1°. Additional time-resolved spectral measurements in the energy range 0.1 to 10 MeV are made by individual COMPTEL ‘burst’ detectors. During its second year of operation. COMPTEL observed several gamma-ray bursts. Locations of five strong bursts (including the rapidly imaged events GRB 930131 and GRB 930309) are presented here along with the findings from preliminary spectral analysis.
