TL;DR: In this article, the authors reported the detection of a long (380's) giant flare from SGR 1806-20, which was much more luminous than any previous transient event observed in our Galaxy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gamma-Ray Burst Polarization: Limits from RHESSI Measurements
TL;DR: In this paper, the RHESSI satellite was used as a Compton polarimeter to identify Compton scattering candidates by carefully filtering events in energy, time, and scattering geometry, thus optimally excluding systematic errors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Search for gamma-ray burst classes with the RHESSI satellite
TL;DR: In this paper, a sample of 427 gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) measured by the RHESSI satellite, statistically with respect to duration and hardness ratio, was studied.
Journal ArticleDOI
Search for Gamma-Ray Burst Classes with the RHESSI Satellite
TL;DR: In this article, a sample of 427 gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) measured by the RHESSI satellite was studied statistically with respect to duration and hardness ratio, in order to compare the number of GRB groups in the RHessI database with that of the BATSE database.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented the localization data for these events and used triangulation to obtain the localizations of 475 gamma-ray bursts from the interplanetary network.
