- Description:
- This GRBs Catalog (GRBCAT) records high level information of the GRBs detected since their discovery in 1967. The catalog has been created using publications that report lists of GRB detections. These are mostly papers already published in refereed journals, unpublished papers, and PhD thesis presenting lists of GRBs. GRBCAT includes also compilation of bursts that were already present in the HEASARC database system. The catalog is organized with a main table reporting general information for each GRB and additional tables linked to the main table where specific information for the flux and the region of detection are reported. Afterglow measurements are also recorded in a separate table for all bursts detected after May 11 1996. The main table for each GRB contains an entry for each satellite that reports a detection with either a flux and/or position measurement. Therefore for a given GRB there are multiple records if the GRB was detected by more than one satellite. The associated flux table contains an entry for each flux and fluence values reported in literature for a given energy band. The positional information is reported via different tables each dedicated to a specific region of detection. The region descriptions are the following : circle, annulus, box, dual, annulus intersect, irregular, and intersect. The associated afterglow table contains position, intensity and redshift measurements taken after the discovery of the GRB. There are several records associated to a given GRB/afterglow since several observatories collected data on that position. The main table and the associated tables are updated when a new GRB and/or afterglow measurements are reported. This table was ingested by the HEASARC in June 2008 based on electronic versions obtained from the author(s), who compiled the catalog in 2005. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

- Title:
- Catalog of Gamma-Ray Bursts: Afterglows
- Short Name:
- GRBCATAG
- Date:

- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- The GRB Afterglow table contains intensity and redshift measurements obtained with ground based telescopes or with space based observatories carried out after the detection of the GRBs. The catalog has been created using information from journal publications, IAU circulars, and GCN notices, and records afterglow measurements for bursts detected after May 1996. Each record within this catalog is dedicated to a specific measurement of an afterglow made with an observatory. Therefore for a given GRB, there are several entries reporting afterglow measurements from the different observatories. This catalog is linked to the main GRB catalog and it is updated when a new GRB and/or afterglow measurements are reported. This table was ingested by the HEASARC in June 2008 based on electronic versions obtained from the author(s), who compiled the catalog in 2005. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- This table is an associated to the GRBs Catalog and lists the parameters that define the localization region if the region is an intersection of annuli. For a given GRB the localization can be provided by different observatories with different region types or by the same region type with different parameters. The different region types reported in literature are the following: circle, annulus, box, dual, annulus intersect, irregular, and intersect. This table contains the description only for the annuli intersect region type, the other types are stored in separate tables. This localization region consists of in the intersection up to three annuli. Each annulus is described by a center given in RA and Dec, the radius of the annulus and by the half- width of the annulus. The measurements are reported as found in literature and any differences or remarks are included in one of the table parameter (local_notes). The literature references are provided in the GRBs Catalog main table which is linked to this region table. This table was ingested by the HEASARC in June 2008 based on electronic versions obtained from the author(s), who compiled the catalog in 2005. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

- Description:
- This table is an associated to the GRBs Catalog and lists the parameters that define the localization region if the region is a box. For a given GRB the localization can be provided by different observatories with different region types or by the same region type with different parameters. The different region types reported in literature are the following: circle, annulus, box, dual, annulus intersect, irregular, and intersect. This table contains the description only for the box region type, the other types are stored in separate tables. The box region is defined by the corners of the box and a center given in RA and Dec. The number of corners to describe the box is up to six and for each corner the RA and Dec is provided. In a few cases, Laros et al. (1998) report "hybrid" boxes which are based on either the IPN and the BATSE-only or COMPTEL-only error regions were used. These hybrid boxes are defined by segments of one of the IPN annuli and an area. The measurements are reported as found in literature and any differences or remarks are included in one of the table parameter (local_notes). The literature references are provided in the GRBs Catalog main table which is linked to this region table.

- Catalog of Gamma-Ray Bursts: Fluxes and Fluences
- Short Name:
- GRBCATFLUX
- Date:
- 03 May 2024
- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- This table is an associated to the GRBs Catalog and lists the fluxes and fluences of the GRBs. Each record contains a flux and a fluence as detected by an observatory for a given energy range. If for a given GRB flux and fluence are reported by several observatories, the table contains separate records for each of the observatory. If an observatory measured flux and fluence in different energy bands, the table contains separate record for each energy band. The table therefore can contain several records associated to a given GRB depending on the number of observatories providing measurements and on the different energy bands. The measurements are reported as found in literature with the units used by the original authors and not always flux and fluence (and their errors) are both present. The literature references are provided in the GRBs Catalog main table which is linked to this flux table. This table was ingested by the HEASARC in June 2008 based on electronic versions obtained from the author(s), who compiled the catalog in 2005. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

- Description:
- This table is an associated to the GRBs Catalog and lists the parameters that defines the box region derived from the intersection between the IPN annulus and a region from a different observatory. For a given GRB the localization can be provided by different observatories with different region types or by the same region type with different parameters. The different region types reported in literature are the following: circle, annulus, box, dual, annulus intersect, irregular, and intersect. This table contains the description only for the region type intersect, the other types are stored in separate tables. This localization region consists of a box derived from the intersection of the IPN annulus with the region determined by a different observatory. The table lists the corners of the final box intersection and the parameters that defined the IPN annulus (center, radius and half-width). The region of the other observatories that intersect with the IPN annulus is listed with the record for this GRB associated with the other observatory. The measurements are reported as found in literature and any differences or remarks are included in one of the table parameter (localization_notes). The literature references are provided in the GRBs Catalog main table which is linked to this region table.

- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- This table is an associated to the GRBs Catalog and lists the parameters that define an 'irregular' region as the localization region. For a given GRB the localization can be provided by different observatories with different region types or by the same region type with different parameters. The different region types reported in literature are the following: circle, annulus, box, dual, annulus intersect, irregular, and intersect. This table contains the description only for the irregular region type, the other types are stored in separate tables. The 'irregual' region are from the Kippen et al. (1998). This localization region consist of a short thin arc segment derived from a COMPTEL localization combined with an IPN localization where the most likely position corresponds to the maximum obtained from the integral distribution. The COMPTEL localization consists of a circle error region centered at the most likely position within that region. The measurements are reported as found in literature and any differences or remarks are included in one of the table parameter (local_notes). The literature references are provided in the GRBs Catalog main table which is linked to this region table.
