Observations of a weak gamma ray burst, A0535 plus 26, NP0532 and solar flare events by a balloon-borne detector arrayObservations of a cosmic gamma ray burst of about 10 to the -6 erg/sq cm, pulsed emission profiles of A0535 plus 26 and NP0532, and two solar flare events are reported for several energy intervals in 45-500 keV. The measurements were made with a NaI (Tl) detector array flown on a balloon to 4 g/sq cm residual atmosphere from Palestine, Texas Oct. 6-8, 1980 for 28 hours. The detector is a prototype of the Burst and Transient Source Experiment to be flown on the Gamma Ray Observatory.
