Scientific paper

The observational properties of the short-duration gamma-ray bursts are reviewed. The time histories and energy spectra of these bursts, whether they are observed by the interplanetary network, HETE, Swift, or BATSE, appear to be drawn from the same sample. However, the fluences of the bursts differ considerably; in order of decreasing fluence, they are the bursts observed by the IPN, HETE, Swift, and BATSE. This suggests that, just as for the long duration bursts, Swift may be observing a more distant population. The question of whether some events could be extragalactic giant magnetar flares is examined. One recent event, GRB051103, may be in this category.
