[10.06] Integral Moment Analysis of the BATSE Burst Intensity Distribution: Comments on Two-Population (Local Disk/Halo Plus Extended Halo) Models

Moment analysis of the gamma-ray burst log(N>Fp) vs. log(Fp) distribution
observed by BATSE is used to place additional constraints on Galactic
coronal/extended halo source distributions. It is found that the allowed
parameter space of such models is smaller than identified previously (Hakkila
et al. 1994, Proc. 1993 Hunts. Workshop) due to the more efficient tolerances
impose by this technique. This work has been supported by NASA grant NAG8-192.
