Abstract

A comprehensive search of BATSE Spectroscopy Detector data from 117 GRBs has uncovered 13 statistically significant line candidates. The case of a candidate in GRB 930916 is discussed. In the data of SD 2 there appears to be a emission line at 46 keV, however the line is not seen in the data of SD 7. Simulations indicate that the lack of agreement between the results from SD 2 and SD 7 is implausible but not impossible.
