Gamma-ray bursts observed from OSO-6.
Abstract
Four cosmic gamma ray bursts observed above 30 keV by the X-ray spectrometer onboard OSO-6 in the period August, 1969 to January, 1972 are analyzed. The time histories and energy loss spectra of these events are presented, and data concerning the possible locations of nine of the bursts detected by the Vela satellites in this time period are discussed. The unique source location determined for the event of February 1971 from the Vela and Uhuru observations is questioned.
