"A search for gamma-ray flares from black-hole candidates on time scale" by R VanDijk, K Bennett et al.
 

Abstract

Strong short-lived flares from black-hole candidates have been detected in the hard X-rayregime and possibly also at γ-ray energies. Here we present a search for short-lived flares in the 0.75–30 MeV COMPTEL data. No flares are found during the 5 viewing periods considered, with typical upper limits of a few times the Crab flux.
