The Pioneer Venus Orbiter Catalog of Gamma-Ray Bursts

Understand

The Pioneer Venus Orbiter (PVO) Gamma-ray burst experiment detected 318 gamma-ray bursts over about 14 years between 1978 and 1992 with near $4\pi$ coverage.

• This data set complements BATSE by determining the properties of the brightest gamma-ray bursts.
• PVO places a constrains on the slope of the bright end of the Log N-Log P distribution.
• The slope is -1.52$\pm 0.15$.
