Abstract
Simulations in theGUSBAD Catalog of gamma-ray bursts suggest that the apparent duration of a burst decreases as its amplitude is decreased. We see no evidence for this effect in the BATSE catalog. We show that for a burst at the detection limit, the typical signal-to-noise ratio at the edges of the T90 duration is around 1.5, suggesting that T90 must bequiteunce rtain. Thesituation for T50 is less unfavorable. Simulations using the exact procedure to derive the durations listed in the BATSE catalog would be useful in quantifying the effect.
