KONUS-W gamma-ray burst experiment for ISTP WIND spacecraft

The primary task of the KONUS-W experiment to be flown on board the WIND spacecraft is to observe gamma-ray bursts and solar flares with moderate and high time resolution. The scientific objectives of the experiment include the study of continuum energy spectra and spectral features of these events in the energy range of 10 keV to 10 MeV as well as their time histories in soft, medium, and hard energy bands with a time resolution up to 2 ms. The general design and operation of the KONUS-W gamma-ray detector are briefly described, and the nomial program of burst observations is examined.

A flaring X-ray pulsar in Dorado

A study of unusual gamma-ray bursts detected on March 5 and March 6, 1979 in the KONUS experiment on the Venera 11 and Venera 12 spacecraft shows their source to be flaring X-ray pulsar in Dorado.

Preliminary results of a gamma-ray burst study in the Konus experiment on the Venera-11 and Venera-12 space probes

Twenty-one gamma-ray bursts and 68 solar flares in the hard X-ray range were detected on Venera-11 and Venera-12 space probes during the initial 50-day observation period. Major characteristics of the equipment used and preliminary data on the temporal structure and energy spectra of the gamma-ray bursts are considered. The pattern of gamma-ray burst frequency distribution vs. intensity, N(S), is established.
