Scientific paper

Perhaps the most enigmatic and elusive of the short time scale astrophysical phenomena observed so far are the γ-ray bursts discovered in the Vela satellite data in 1973. After a decade of observational and theoretical work, there is still no agreement on a model for the radiation detected or for the type of astronomical system responsible. The authors have conducted a search of the Columbia Astrophysics Laboratory's Einstein imaging proportional counter data base for possible X-ray counterparts to these transient events. Four events with a pointlike spatial distribution were detected but their extremely soft spectra makes them unlikely candidates for γ-ray burst counterparts.
