BATSE GRB trigger criteria changed
Abstract
The BATSE on-board burst trigger algorithm was revised at 14:18 UT on February 4 to include only counts in channel 4 (>300 keV). The intent is to optimize for Terrestrial Gamma Flashes (TGFs). Hard GRBs will continue to generate triggers, but at a lower rate. We expect to remain in this trigger mode for at least a week.
