The ground-based INTEGRAL Burst Alert System (IBAS) has provided real-time localizations with 2-3 arcmin accuracy for most of these events. The INTEGRAL sample now comprises 81 bursts, including 4 of the short class. IBAS has also revealed other transient events from various classes of Galactic sources, most notably short bursts and flares from magnetar candidates. Here I present a summary of the IBAS performances in the eight years since the INTEGRAL launch and review some of the INTEGRAL results for GRBs and Soft Gamma-ray Repeaters.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2011-02-18T11:10:50.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "soft gamma-ray repeaters", "integral results", "gamma-ray bursts", "ground-based integral burst alert system", "arcmin accuracy" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 890102, "adsabs": "2011arXiv1102.3808M" } } }
