We examine a sample of 2301 gamma-ray bursts, detected by Konus-Wind in the triggered mode between 1994 and 2017 and localized by the interplanetary network(IPN), for evidence of gravitational lensing. We utilize all the available gamma-ray burst(GRB) data : time histories, localizations, and energy spectra. We employ common IPN techniques to find and quantify similarities in the light curves of 2, 646, 150 burst pairs, and for the pairs with significant similarities, we examine their IPN localizations to determine whether they are consistent with a common origin. 1, record 1, English, - interplanetary%20network

Les Français ont fourni des instruments composés de détecteurs gamma à scintillation aux Russes qui s'occupaient quant à eux de la plateforme 1 du satellite. En 1977, fut lancé l'instrument Signe 2 à bord de la mission russe Prognoz 6, en orbite autour de la Terre. Par la suite, le même instrument fut lancé à bord de deux satellites jumeaux appelés Prognoz 7, constituant deux membres du réseau interplanétaire. 1, record 1, French, - r%C3%A9seau%20interplan%C3%A9taire

Gamma rays are electromagnetic radiation at the short-wavelength, or high-frequency, end of the electromagnetic(EM) spectrum, which ranges from gamma rays(short) to radio(long). The study and analysis of gamma-ray spectra for scientific and technical use is called gamma spectroscopy, and gamma-ray spectrometers are the instruments which observe and collect such data. Because the energy of each photon of EM radiation is proportional to its frequency, gamma rays have sufficient energy that they are typically observed by counting individual photons. 2, record 4, English, - gamma%2Dray%20spectrometer
