Gamma-Ray Bursts Detected From BATSE DISCLA Data

We have searched for gamma-ray bursts (GRB) in the BATSE DISCLA data covering the period TJD 8365-10528. We employ an algorithm that uses the background both before and after the onset of the burst, and that requires an excess of at least 5…

An Off-line Scan of the BATSE Daily Records and a Large Uniform Sample of Gamma-Ray Bursts

During a scan of the archival BATSE daily records covering the entire 9.1 years (TJD 8369-11690) of the BATSE operation, 3906 gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have been detected. 2068 of these GRBs are previously known BATSE triggers while 1838 of…
