ABSTRACT
BATSE detected 200 bursts from SGR 1900+14 between May 1998 and January 1999. The reactivation of the bursts initiated a series of RXTE observations within which more than 800 bursts were observed. Here we study statistical characteristics of SGR 1900+14 bursts using BATSE and RXTE observations. � 2000 American Institute of Physics.

    We present the observations of cosmic gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) with the main detector of the SIGMA telescope onboard the Granat Observatory from January 1990 through September 1994. The observations were carried out in the energy range 35-1300 keV. We detected 36 GRBs and 31 high-energy solar...

    We analyze the sky distribution of various types of cosmic gamma-ray bursts (GRBs): short, long, and intermediate; they are determined by burst duration T[sub 90] (T[sub 90] is the time during which 90% of the burst energy is accumulated). We have found an anisotropy in the distribution of...

    Data on the positions of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) in galaxies are used to construct the radial distributions of their surface density. The gradient in GRB surface density is shown to decrease sharply at a galactocentric distance equal to the effective galactic radius. In central galactic regions,...
