20 Years of GRB observations with Konus-Wind
Abstract
The Konus-Wind is a gamma-ray spectrometer which continuously observes the full sky in the wide energy range ~20 keV - 15 MeV in interplanetary space far outside the Earth's magnetosphere. Since the launch of the Global Geospace Science Wind spacecraft in November, 1994, Konus-Wind experiment has detected over 2400 gamma-ray bursts in the triggered mode. We will overview the GRB sample and highlight the most important GRB findings that demonstrate unique capabilities of Konus-Wind.
