Revised upper limits on gamma-ray burst repetition rates are found using the BATSE 3B and 4B catalogs. A statistical repetition model is assumed in which sources burst at a mean rate but in which BATSE observes bursts randomly from each…

We present preliminary results of an off-line search for non-triggered gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) in the BATSE daily records for about 5.7 years of observations. We found more GRB-like events than the yield of the similar search of Kommers et…

In the field of multi-messenger astronomy, Bayesian inference is commonly adopted to compare the compatibility of models given the observed data. However, to describe a physical system like neutron star mergers and their associated…

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…

We examine the width of the gamma-ray burst (GRB) luminosity function through the distribution of GRB peak count rates, C$_{\rm{peak}}$, as detected by BATSE (\cite{batse:93}). In the context of galactic corona spatial distribution models,…

A sample of 427 gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), measured by the RHESSI satellite, is studied statistically to determine the number of GRB groups. Previous studies based on the BATSE Catalog and recently on the Swift data claim the existence of an…

We compute the luminosity function (LF) and the formation rate of long gamma ray bursts (GRBs) by fitting the observed differential peak flux distribution obtained by the BATSE experiment in two different scenarios: i) the GRB luminosity…

The Haystack 37-meter telescope was used in a pilot project in May 1995 to observe GRB error boxes at 23~GHz. Seven BATSE error boxes and two IPN arcs were scanned by driving the beam of the telescope rapidly across their area. For the…

Previously we proposed a novel method to inspect the isotropy of the properties of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) such as their duration, fluences and peak fluxes at various energy bands and different time scales, complementary to existing studies…

We use the lag-luminosity relation to calculate self-consistently the redshifts, apparent peak bolometric luminosities L_B, and isotropic energies E_iso for a large sample of BATSE gamma-ray bursts. We consider two different forms of the…

The distribution of GRB durations is bimodal, but there is little additional evidence to support the division of GRBs into short and long classes. Based on simple hardness ratios, several studies have shown a tendency for longer GRBs to…
