Scientific paper

Temporal and 0.2 to 2 MeV spectral data from two gamma bursts measured June 12 and August 16, 1976 by detectors on the Solrad 11A and 11B satellites are reported. The first burst showed evidence for structure on time scales down to about 10 msec throughout its lifetime, whereas the second burst varied only with characteristic times longer than a few tenths of a second. Since both bursts were also observed by at least one Vela satellite, their positions will be determined. The two Solrad spacecraft, currently positioned on opposite sides of the earth at heights of about 20 earth radii, are equipped with gamma-burst detectors which are omnidirectionally sensitive over the 0.2 to 2 MeV range.
