** GRB 031203:
Astronomers Identify a Substandard Gamma-Ray Burst

Gamma-ray burst GRB 031203 was discovered by the European
Space Agency's Integral gamma-ray observatory on December 3,
2003. The afterglow of the burst was studied months later by Chandra
and other space and ground-based observatories. Based on these
observations, astronomers have concluded that GRB 031203 radiated
only a fraction of the energy of a normal gamma ray burst, but still
produced more energy than a supernova.
