Gamma-Ray Bursts: Observations

Scientific paper

Two most intense gamma-ray bursts with photon energy up to the order of GeV, namely GB930131 and GB940217, were observed with the instruments on CGRO. The peak count rate of GB930131 is 2×106 counts per second. The duration of burst for GB940217 is 90 min. After many years silence, the soft gamma-ray repeaters SGR1900+14 and SGR1806-20 were discovered to re-burst by BATSE. Many observations show that these soft gamma-ray repeaters are associated with X-ray sources and supernova remnants. In this paper, the characteristics of both most intense gamma-ray bursts and soft gamma-ray repeaters are reviewed.
