Analysis of the KONUS catalog of gamma-ray bursts with the thermal synchrotron model

Approximately 150 reported gamma-ray burst spectra of the Konus catalog are analyzed using the thermal synchrotron model. An overwhelming majority of these spectra can be satisfactorily fitted by theoretical thermal synchrotron spectra of mildly relativistic electrons in strong magnetic fields, making the strong-field neutron star picture at least self-consistent. Valuable additional information is also extracted from various spectral features contained in many of the events.

Comments on the gamma-ray burst catalog of Mazetset al. (1981a)

We have discovered a correlation between the Venera spacecraft locations and the gamma-ray burst positions reported in the KONUS catalog (Mazetset al., 1981a). The reason for the correlation is not clear, but it could be due to spatial selection effects and/or large localization errors for weak of soft bursts. Whatever the cause, it seems likely that this systematic bias might significantly affect catalog results pertaining to gamma burst locations, intensity distributions, and spectra. For example, it can explain why the KONUS galactic latitude distribution is peaked significantly south of the galactic equator. Apparent discrepancies between the KONUS and Los Alamos gamma burst data bases are noted.

A catalog of gamma-ray bursts with earth crossing times

A catalog of 111 confirmed gamma-ray bursts detected between 1967 July and 1979 June is presented. Both localization information and earth crossing times for the gamma-ray wave fronts are given. Data which have appeared in some previous catalogs have been revised; many previously unpublished events detected by an international network of dedicated deep space and near-earth experiments since 1976 are also presented.

Catalog of cosmic gamma-ray bursts from the KONUS experiment data

In the third part of the Catalog, the observational data are presented on the gamma-burst studies in the KONUS experiment aboard Venera 11 and Venera 12 spacecraft in the period from the end of May to October 1979. The burst time profiles, energy spectra and source localization data are given.

Catalog of cosmic gamma-ray bursts from the KONUS experiment data

The fourth and concluding part of the Catalog contains information on 20 gamma-ray bursts detected in the KONUS experiment on the Venera space probes from November 1979 up to the beginning of February 1980. The time profiles, energy spectra and source localization data are presented. A review of the major scientific results obtained is given.
