内容記述 | Observations of five gamma-ray bursts made with the solar orbiter Helios-2 are reported. Wavefront timing from Helios-2, at distances of up to 1.98 AU, to Vela-5A and -6A, in Earth orbit, provides source location bands as narrow as 2 arc minutes, although several degrees in length. The burst intensities and time profiles measured in interplanetary space by Helios-2 are the same as those observed near the earth, ruling out a narrow-beam interplanetary origin model. Also, the source direction bands for these events are inconsistent with the directions of all known celestial X-ray objects, X-ray bursters and high-energy gamma-ray source regions. The gamma-ray burst source objects therefore appear to form a distinct class from all lower energy X-ray or higher energy gamma ray emitters. |
