Further Analysis of GRB ML0001: I have modified my untriggered burst search code to look for single GRBs of known start time and relatively unknow direction. In the process I have confirmed what Julie and Isabel presented at the collaboration meeting and I have also found something else that is very interesting.
I use a square bin, the original bin size was chosen to have the same area as the round bin used by Julie. The square bin has dimensions 2.8 x 2.8/cos(DEC). I search on a 0.1 x 0.1 degree map The first plot shows the number of signal versus RA and DEC. (The background has been subtracted). Next is the Probability Map (-Log10 Prob vs. RA and DEC). Then I opened up the angular bin to minimize the probability. Below is a map of the actual events in the sky. I then searched in time around the time of the burst. My original search was +- 100 seconds in 8 second bins. Below I show the results for +- 1000 seconds around the burst time. The second burst starts 32 seconds after the original start time and also lasts for 8 seconds. The probability (pretrial is 17 events with 5.1 expected ~ 2x10-5). Below I show the distribution of events on the sky for the second burst and then for the two time periods together.
I have also made some maps using Gaussian weighting. There is no background subtraction here. I used the weights based on the DELANGLE stuff Andy showed at the meeting. PDF File for original burst. This is a color plot. PDF File for second burst. This is a color plot. PDF file for sum of bursts. This is a color lego plot.
Below I list all the events in the two bursts.
