1P cos: c gamma-ray burst reported that occurred at 29309 . 11 Q UTC, May S e 14, 1975. The burst was detected at an atmospheric depth of 4 g/ 2 residual atmosphere with the University of California double scatter gamma-ray telescope launched on a balloon from Palestine, Texas at 1150 UTC, May 13, 1975. The burst was observed both in the single scatter mode by the top liquid sciat.11ator tank in anti-coincidence with the surrounding plastic scintillator and in the double scatter mode from which energy and directional information are obtained. The burst is 24 standard deviations above the background for single scatter events. The total gammaray flux in the burst, incident on the At in with photon energy greater than 0.5 NeV, is 0.59, + 0 -0.15 !«,tons / a initial rise tine to 902 of maximumis O.J15 + 0.005 sand the duration is 0.11 s. Time structure d wn to the 5 as resolution of the tel ope is seen. The scan flux over this tine 5. _ 1,3 photons/ s cmand the anximsi flux is 8.5 + 2,1 photons j^t^-sA in energy S^ ci distribution is obtained from the single scatter flux and the 8 double Compton scattered gaga-rays recorded during the 0.11'x.

The direction of the source, with 902 confidence, is limited to a cirQle with radium of 250 and center at a R.A. of 2480 and a declination of +22 0 .

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
