We use Bayesian methods to analyze the distribution of gamma ray burst intensities reported in the Third BATSE Catalog (3B catalog) of gamma ray bursts, presuming the distribution of burst sources (``bursters'') is isotropic. We study both…
We use dipole and quadrupole statistics to test the large-scale isotropy of the first 1005 gamma-ray bursts observed by the Burst and Transient Source Experiment (BATSE). In addition to the entire sample of 1005 gamma-ray bursts, many…
Gamma-ray burst sources are distributed with a high level of isotropy, which is compatible with either a cosmological origin or an extended Galactic halo origin. The brightness distribution is another indicator used to characterize the…
We show that the brighter gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) in the BATSE 3B catalog concentrate slightly toward the Galactic plane and center, suggesting that at least some bursts originate within the Galaxy. To develop an interpretation of this…
The BATSE experiment has now observed more than 1100 gamma-ray bursts. The observed angular distribution is isotropic, while the brightness distribution of bursts shows a reduced number of faint events. These observations favor a…
The statistical tests - done by the authors - are surveyed, which verify the null-hypothesis of the intrinsic randomness in the angular distribution of gamma-ray bursts collected at BATSE Catalog. The tests use the counts-in-cells method,…
We investigate the angular distribution of gamma-ray bursts using the largest catalog of well-localized events that is currently available---combined BATSE/Ulysses burst locations. We present the preliminary spatial analysis of 415…
The angular distribution of GRBs is isotropic, while the brightness distribution of bursts shows a reduced number of faint events. These observations favor a cosmological burst origin. If GRBs are indeed at cosmological distances and if…
We investigate the viability of Galactic corona models of gamma-ray bursts by calculating the spatial distribution expected for a population of high-velocity neutron stars born in the Galactic disk and moving in a gravitational potential…
We consider a model for gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) from high-velocity neutron stars in the galactic halo. In this model, bursters are born in the galactic disk with large recoil velocities V_r, and GRBs are beamed to within emission cones of…
Based on the study of temporal asymmetry of 631 gamma ray bursts from the BATSE 3B catalog by Link and Epstein [Ap J 466, 764 (1996)], we identify the population of bursts whose rising times are longer than their decays, thus showing…
The cosmological expansion cannot produce the reported correlations of the gamma-ray burst timescale and spectral energy with peak flux if the burst model reproduces the BATSE 3B peak-flux distribution for a non-evolving burst source…
The gamma-ray bursts detected by the BATSE instrument may be separated into "short", "intermediate" and "long" subgroups. Previous statistical tests found an anisotropic sky-distribution on large angular scales for the intermediate…
We propose a data-driven approach to reconstruct the all-sky distribution of the dispersion measure contribution from the Galactic halo ($\mathrm{DM_{halo}}$) through a spherical harmonic expansion, enabling an investigation of its possible…
Measurements of the two-point angular correlation function w(\theta) for 407 short gamma-ray bursts collected in the Current BATSE Catalogue reveal a ~2 \sigma deviation from isotropy on angular scales \theta ~ 2-4 degrees. Such an…
The BATSE experiment on GRO has demonstrated the isotropic arrival directions and flat $\log N$ {\it vs.} $\log S$ of cosmic gamma-ray bursts. These data are best explained if the burst sources are distributed throughout an extended…
The positions of over 1000 gamma-ray bursts detected with the BATSE experiment on board of the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory are uniformly and randomly distributed in the sky, with no significant concentration to the galactic plane or to…
If a substantial fraction of the observed gamma-ray bursts originates within an extended Galactic halo then their spatial distribution should deviate slightly from spherical symmetry in a very particular way which involves features both in…
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) were confirmed to be of extragalactic origin due to their isotropic angular distribution, combined with the fact that they exhibited an intensity distribution that deviated strongly from the $-3/2$ power law. This…
We compute the angular power spectrum C_l from the BATSE 3B catalog of 1122 gamma-ray bursts, and find no evidence for clustering on any scale. These constraints bridge the entire range from small scales (which probe source clustering and…
