21. The BATSE 5B GRB spectral catalog
ID:
ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/ApJS/208/21
Title:
The BATSE 5B GRB spectral catalog
Short Name:
J/ApJS/208/21
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present systematic spectral analyses of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) detected with the Burst and Transient Source Experiment (BATSE) on board the Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory during its entire nine years of operation. This catalog contains two types of spectra extracted from 2145 GRBs, and fitted with five different spectral models resulting in a compendium of over 19000 spectra. The models were selected based on their empirical importance to the spectral shape of many GRBs, and the analysis performed was devised to be as thorough and objective as possible. We describe in detail our procedures and criteria for the analyses, and present the bulk results in the form of parameter distributions. This catalog should be considered an official product from the BATSE Science Team, and the data files containing the complete results are available from the High-Energy Astrophysics Science Archive Research Center (HEASARC).
22. The Fourth BATSE Burst Revised Catalog
ID:
ivo://CDS.VizieR/IX/20A
Title:
The Fourth BATSE Burst Revised Catalog
Short Name:
IX/20A
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
This is the fourth catalogue of the BATSE instrument on board of the Compton Gamma-ray Observatory (CGRO), launched on April 5, 1991. It contains the locations and times for 1637 triggered gamma-ray bursts (nominal energy range 50-300keV) observed from 19 April, 1991 until 29 August, 1996. This 4Br version has been revised from the version first circulated on CD-ROM in September 1997 (4B, file "4b.dat") to include improved locations for a subset of bursts that have been reprocessed using additional data. The Interplanetary Network (IPN) localization information for 147 gamma-ray bursts observed by the Burst and Transient Source Experiment between the end of the Third BATSE catalog and the end of the Fourth BATSE catalog, obtained by analyzing the arrival times of these bursts at the Ulysses and Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory (CGRO) spacecraft. are included in the table "ulysses.dat". Bursts found later (1607 triggers until 9 September 2000) are included in the file "grb.dat"; the data related to these events (those having a TrigNo>=5589) should be considered as preliminary. The Exposure table and Trigger Criteria tables are not included here; please consult the statistical results on the BATSE pages (http://gammaray.msfc.nasa.gov/batse/)
23. The second EGRET catalog
ID:
ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/ApJS/101/259
Title:
The second EGRET catalog
Short Name:
J/ApJS/101/259
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
The second catalog of high-energy gamma-ray observations from the Energetic Gamma Ray Experiment Telescope (EGRET) on the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory includes data from Phase 1 (1991 April - 1992 November) and Phase 2 (1992 November - 1993 September) of the mission. In addition to including more data than the first EGRET catalog (1994ApJS...94..551F), this catalog uses an improved model of the diffuse galactic gamma radiation. The 129 sources in the catalog include one solar flare bright enough to be detected as a source, the Large Magellanic Cloud, five pulsars, 40 high-confidence identifications of active galactic nuclei, 11 AGN identifications with lower confidence, and 71 sources not yet identified with known objects. Also included a re approximate upper limits for gamma-ray sources at any point in the sky and information about sources listed in the first EGRET catalog but not appearing in this one. The main catalog (table 4) was revised slightly after the preprint was made.
24. Third EGRET catalog (3EG)
ID:
ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/ApJS/123/79
Title:
Third EGRET catalog (3EG)
Short Name:
J/ApJS/123/79
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
The third catalog of high-energy gamma-ray sources detected by the EGRET telescope on the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory (3EG) includes data from 1991 April 22 to 1995 October 3 (cycles 1, 2, 3, and 4 of the mission). In addition to including more data than the second EGRET catalog and its supplement, this catalog uses completely reprocessed data to correct a number of mostly minimal errors and problems. 14 sources (3 from the Supplement) listed in Table 6 below are not appearing in the 3EG. The 271 sources (E>100 MeV) in the catalog include the single 1991 solar flare bright enough to be detected as a source, the Large Magellanic Cloud, five pulsars, one probable radio galaxy detection (Cen A), and 66 high-confidence identifications of blazars (BL Lac objects, flat-spectrum radio quasars, or unidentified flat-spectrum radio sources). In addition, 27 lower confidence potential blazar identifications are noted. Finally, the catalog contains 170 sources not yet identified firmly with known objects, although potential identifications have been suggested for a number of those. This catalog supersedes the 2EG (Cat. <J/ApJS/101/259>) and its supplement (Cat. <J/ApJS/107/227>).
