Comparison of BATSE COMPTEL, EGRET and OSSE Spectra of GRB 910601

Abstract

GRB 910601 was well observed by all three broad- eld experiments on the COMPTON Observatory; it was also at a known position within the narrow aperture of the OSSE instrument. This has permitted us to compare spectra observed from all four of the COMPTON Observatory instruments. The burst lasted for about 40 s and was observed into the MeV region by all of the detectors; it was not detected at energies above 10 MeV. Time-integrated spectra from COMPTEL, EGRET and OSSE are in good agreement. Spectra from both the BATSE large area and spectroscopy detectors during the early part of the burst are also in good agreement with the OSSE spectrum.
