摘要:
The Burst and Transient Source Experiment (BATSE) consists of eight anisotropic &ggr;‐ray spectrometers at the corners of the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory. BATSE monitors the full sky from a fixed orientation and determines the direction of &ggr;‐ray bursts with an accuracy appropriate for studying the bursts’ celestial distribution. We describe the calculation of &ggr;‐ray burst directions from measurements made by BATSE. We present a sample of calculated directions from BATSE’s measurement of solar flares and compare the calculated directions with the solar direction. We describe the systematic errors apparent in these data and discuss ongoing efforts to correct them.
