Scientific paper

It is reported here that GRB910711, the gamma-ray burst (GRB) with apparently the shortest duration yet seen by the BATSE, has a time profile that shows significant submillisecond structure. The responses to this burst in the BATSE detectors show that the burst is both narrower and of higher energy than is indicated by a light curve summed over all detectors. A narrow spike of duration 200 microsec was detected in the light curve; variations on this timescale have not previously been observed in GRBs, and their explanation should be a stringent test of any GRB theory.
