Scientific paper

The archival data from BATSE permit a search for transients that did not activate the onboard burst trigger. Examples of such non-triggered events include faint gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), emission from soft gamma-ray repeaters (SGRs), and bursts and flares from X-ray binaries. A GRB may fail to trigger onboard because it is too faint, because it occurs while the onboard trigger is disabled, or because it biases the onboard background estimation. We describe a search of the BATSE archival data that is sensitive to GRBs with peak fluxes fainter by a factor of ~2 than those detected with the onboard burst trigger (on the 1.024 s time scale).
