- Description:
- Since launch in 2008, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) has detected many hundreds of bursts from magnetar sources. While the vast majority of these bursts have been attributed to several known magnetars, there is also a small sample of magnetar-like bursts of unknown origin. Here, we present the Fermi/GBM magnetar catalog, providing the results of the temporal and spectral analyses of 440 magnetar bursts with high temporal and spectral resolution. This catalog covers the first five years of GBM magnetar observations, from 2008 July to 2013 June. We provide durations, spectral parameters for various models, fluences, and peak fluxes for all the bursts, as well as a detailed temporal analysis for SGR J1550-5418 bursts. Finally, we suggest that some of the bursts of unknown origin are associated with the newly discovered magnetar 3XMM J185246.6+0033.7.

- The Fourth BATSE Burst Revised Catalog
- Short Name:
- IX/20A

- 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/)

- The fourth Fermi-GBM GRB catalog: 10 years
- Short Name:
- J/ApJ/893/46
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present the fourth in a series of catalogs of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) observed with Fermi's Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (Fermi-GBM). It extends the six year catalog by four more years, now covering the 10yr time period from trigger enabling on 2008 July 12 to 2018 July 11. During this time period GBM triggered almost twice a day on transient events, 2356 of which we identified as cosmic GRBs. Additional trigger events were due to solar flare events, magnetar burst activities, and terrestrial gamma-ray flashes. The intention of the GBM GRB catalog series is to provide updated information to the community on the most important observables of the GBM-detected GRBs. For each GRB the location and main characteristics of the prompt emission, the duration, peak flux, and fluence are derived. The latter two quantities are calculated for the 50-300keV energy band, where the maximum energy release of GRBs in the instrument reference system is observed and also for a broader energy band from 10-1000keV, exploiting the full energy range of GBM's low-energy detectors. Furthermore, information is given on the settings of the triggering criteria and exceptional operational conditions during years 7 to 10 in the mission. This fourth catalog is an official product of the Fermi-GBM science team, and the data files containing the complete results are available from the High-Energy Astrophysics Science Archive Research Center.

- The GUSBAD catalog of gamma-ray bursts
- Short Name:
- J/ApJ/616/1072
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- The GUSBAD catalog of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) is based on archival BATSE DISCLA data covering the full 9.1yr of the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory mission. The catalog contains 2207 GRBs, including 589 bursts not listed in the Current BATSE Burst Catalog (see Cat. <IX/20>). The GUSBAD (Gamma-ray bursts Uniformly Selected from BATSE Archival Data) catalog is uniform in the sense that the detection criteria are the same throughout, and the properties given in the catalog are available for every burst. The detection and derivation of the properties of the GRBs were carried out automatically. This makes the GUSBAD catalog especially suitable for statistical work and simulations, such as that used in the derivation of V/V_max_. We briefly touch upon a potential problem in defining a GRB duration that is physically meaningful.

- The IPN supplement to the BATSE 5B catalog
- Short Name:
- J/ApJS/196/1
- Date:

- Publisher:

- Description:
- We present Interplanetary Network localization information for 343 gamma-ray bursts observed by the Burst and Transient Source Experiment (BATSE) between the end of the 4th BATSE catalog and the end of the Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory (CGRO) mission, obtained by analyzing the arrival times of these bursts at the Ulysses, Near Earth Asteroid Rendezvous (NEAR), and CGRO spacecraft. For any given burst observed by CGRO and one other spacecraft, arrival time analysis (or "triangulation") results in an annulus of possible arrival directions whose half-width varies between 11 arcsec and 21{deg}, depending on the intensity, time history, and arrival direction of the burst, as well as the distance between the spacecraft. This annulus generally intersects the BATSE error circle, resulting in an average reduction of the area of a factor of 20. When all three spacecraft observe a burst, the result is an error box whose area varies between 1 and 48000arcmin^2^, resulting in an average reduction of the BATSE error circle area of a factor of 87.

- Description:
- Between 2000 November and 2006 May, one or more spacecraft of the interplanetary network (IPN) detected 226 cosmic gamma-ray bursts that were also detected by the French Gamma-Ray Telescope experiment on board the High Energy Transient Experiment 2 spacecraft. During this period, the IPN consisted of up to nine spacecraft, and using triangulation, the localizations of 157 bursts were obtained. We present the IPN localization data on these events.

- Description:
- The second catalog of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) detected by the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) in two years of scientific operation is presented. The second LAT AGN catalog (2LAC) includes 1017 {gamma}-ray sources located at high Galactic latitudes (|b|>10{deg}) that are detected with a test statistic (TS) greater than 25 and associated statistically with AGNs. However, some of these are affected by analysis issues and some are associated with multiple AGNs. Consequently, we define a Clean Sample which includes 886 AGNs, comprising 395 BL Lacertae objects (BL Lac objects), 310 flat-spectrum radio quasars (FSRQs), 157 candidate blazars of unknown type (i.e., with broadband blazar characteristics but with no optical spectral measurement yet), 8 misaligned AGNs, 4 narrow-line Seyfert 1 (NLS1s), 10 AGNs of other types, and 2 starburst galaxies. Where possible, the blazars have been further classified based on their spectral energy distributions (SEDs) as archival radio, optical, and X-ray data permit. While almost all FSRQs have a synchrotron-peak frequency <10^14^Hz, about half of the BL Lac objects have a synchrotron-peak frequency >10^15^Hz. The 2LAC represents a significant improvement relative to the first LAT AGN catalog (1LAC), with 52% more associated sources. The full characterization of the newly detected sources will require more broadband data. Various properties, such as {gamma}-ray fluxes and photon power-law spectral indices, redshifts, {gamma}-ray luminosities, variability, and archival radio luminosities and their correlations are presented and discussed for the different blazar classes. The general trends observed in 1LAC are confirmed.

- Description:
- Low-frequency radio arrays are opening a new window for the study of the sky, both to study new phenomena and to better characterize known source classes. Being flat-spectrum sources, blazars are so far poorly studied at low radio frequencies. We characterize the spectral properties of the blazar population at low radio frequency, compare the radio and high-energy properties of the gamma-ray blazar population, and search for radio counterparts of unidentified gamma-ray sources. We cross-correlated the 6100-deg^2^ Murchison Widefield Array Commissioning Survey catalogue with the Roma blazar catalogue, the third catalogue of active galactic nuclei detected by Fermi-LAT, and the unidentified members of the entire third catalogue of gamma-ray sources detected by Fermi-LAT. When available, we also added high-frequency radio data from the Australia Telescope 20GHz catalogue.

- 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.
