The Fermi GBM Gamma-Ray Burst Catalog: The First Two Years

Paciesas, William S., Meegan, Charles A., von Kienlin, Andreas et al.

Understand

The Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) is designed to enhance the scientific return from Fermi in studying gamma-ray bursts (GRBs).

In its first two years of operation GBM triggered on 491 GRBs.
We summarize the criteria used for triggering and quantify the general characteristics of the triggered GRBs, including their locations, durations, peak flux, and fluence.
This 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 (HEASARC).
