Broadband Spectral Deconvolution of GRBs

Abstract

Data from GRBs which occurred in the field of view of COMPTEL have been jointly analysed with the corresponding BATSE data using the Band spectral form, yielding deconvolved spectra over the energy range from 30 keV to 10 MeV and in some cases, from 5 keV to 10 MeV. In particularly bright bursts, time-resolved, jointly deconvolved spectra were also obtained. The results from this study are compared with those obtained using BATSE data alone and interpreted in the light of current models of the physical processes taking place in GRBs.
