Description
The log N-log S curve for cosmic gamma-ray bursts detected by the Franco-Soviet SIGNE experiments is presented, along with a method of correcting for the different energy thresholds of these and other experiments. Selection effects due to trigger mechanisms are discussed. It is shown that log N-log S curves from different experiments are in agreement after correction for threshold and selection effects.
