Fine time resolution spectral analysis of the 1978 November 4 and 19. gamma. -ray bursts

Conference · · AIP Conf. Proc.; (United States)
OSTI ID:6132449

The French SIGNE experiments aboard the Soviet Venera probes allow a spectral analysis with a time resolution of 250 ms. From a study of the intense 1978 November 4 and 19 ..gamma..-ray bursts, evidence is presented for a) a significant evolution in the continuum spectra, b) the appearance on a time scale of several hundred ms of spectral features such as emission lines around 400 keV, absorption lines (E<200 keV), and a high energy cutoff (E>1 MeV). 9 references, 2 figures.
