OBSERVATIONS ARCHIVE

 

Archive of notable bursts detected with the BATSE RBR system.

Burst lightcurves and location "finding" maps for notable bursts are provided below in viewable GIF and printable PS formats.

Some of these events were scanned by the Proportional Counter Array (PCA; 2-10 keV) instrument on the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) in an attempt to detect fading x-ray afterglow emission. Links to current GCN notices for these bursts are provided.

The remaining events are notable for other reasons, as indicated.
