BATSE observations of gamma-ray burst spectra. 2: Peak energy evolution in bright, long bursts

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated spectral evolution in 37 bright, long gamma-ray bursts observed with the Burst and Transient Source Experiment (BATSE) spectroscopy detectors and found that this peak energy either rises with or slightly precedes major intensity increases and softens for the remainder of the pulse Interpulse emission is generally harder early in the burst.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the spectral evolution of gamma-ray bursts observed with the BATSE Spectroscopy Detectors and found that the peak energy either rises with or slightly precedes major intensity increases and softens for the remainder of the pulse.

Probable optical counterpart of a Gamma-ray burster

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the 16 million seconds of optical monitoring of three Gamma-ray burst positions using the Harvard College Observatory collection of archival plates, and the probable optical counterpart of the November 19, 1978 gamma-ray burster has been discovered on a blue emulsion plate exposed in 1928.

Locations and time histories of five 1979 gamma-ray bursts

TL;DR: The locations and time histories of five gamma-ray bursts that occurred between 1979 March 7 and March 31 were studied in this paper, where a search through selected catalogs did reveal one object, the star FY Aql (cataloged as a Mira-type variable but probably a dwarf nova) inside one of the gamma ray burst boxes.
