Abstract

This grant supported our analysis of BATSE occultation data on x-ray bursters and neutron star low mass x-ray binaries (LMXBs) from the Compton Gamma-ray Observatory carried out under observing cycle 6. The work carried out under this grant was closely related to our separate investigation (NAG5-3808) to develop a prototype BATSE imaging survey for faint transients. In this Final Report, we summarize the Scientific Objectives of this investigation of hard x-ray studies of bursters and the Results Achieved; and finally the Papers Published.
