Early studies of the time histories of the γ-ray burst events reported by the Vela satellites led to the suggestion that very brief, ≡0.1 s, bursts formed a class distinct from the longer, highly structured bursts. Results of the KONUS experiments on Veneras 11, 12, 13 and 14 argue for the existence of a separate class of short-duration γ-ray bursts, revealing that many of the short bursts exhibit much softer spectra (≡30 keV) than the more familiar complex bursts. Here the authors point out that the results of the Goddard ISEE-3 γ-ray burst spectrometer actually enhance the appearance of two burst populations suggested in the Venera data.
