GRBs Uniformly Selected from BATSE Archival Data (Version 2.1)
Listed in NASA Data Portal
Description
The GUSBAD (Gamma-ray bursts Uniformly Selected from BATSE Archival Data) Catalog is based on BATSE DISCLA data at a time resolution of 1.024 seconds for the full 9.1 years of the Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory (CGRO) mission from April 19, 1991 until May 26, 2000 (corresponding to Truncated Julian Dates from 8365 to 11690). This catalog lists over 2200 gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). Selection of GRBs for the GUSBAD Catalog requires a 5-sigma excess over the background in two of the BATSE detectors over the energy range 50-300 keV.
The search covers the entire mission except when CGRO was over particular geographic regions or during one of 199,964 time windows when DISCLA data were missing or contaminated. The classification as GRB or non-GRB of the 6236 events that were produced by the software trigger was aided by correlating the times and positions of the events against the Current BATSE Burst Catalog. There are 589 GRBs in the GUSBAD Catalog that are not included in the Current BATSE Burst Catalog.

The GUSBAD catalog is uniform in the sense that the detection criterion is the same throughout and that the properties given in the catalog are available for every burst. The detection and the derivation of the properties listed in the catalog were carried out automatically, except for some rare instances. This makes the catalog especially suitable for statistical work and simulations, such as used in the evaluation of V/Vmax.
The procedure used to detect and classify the bursts has been described in Schmidt (2004). This database table was last updated by the HEASARC in April 2005 using the file GUSBADcat.dat containing version 2.1 of the catalog, which was obtained from the catalog author's web site at <a href="astro.caltech.edu/~mxs/grb/GUSBAD/">http://www.astro.caltech.edu/~mxs/grb/GUSBAD/</a> <p> Comments or questions about the contents of the GUSBAD Catalog are welcomed by the author who can be contacted at mxs@astro.caltech.edu.
