Scientific paper

NASA's Gamma-Ray Observatory carries the Burst and Transient Source Experiment (BATSE); this instrument has recorded 609 bursts that do not have a known star, galaxy, or quasi-stellar source, and none of these has come from the same spot twice. BATSE's gamma-ray burst temporal profiles prominently include the January 31, 1993 burst, largest to date, whose region of origin was optically observed 35 hours after initial detection. The stars that appeared on the photographic plate thus obtained were indistinguishable from those of the Palomar Sky Survey, deepening the mystery as to the sources and effects of these radiation bursts.
