The Fermi-GBM 3-year X-ray Burst Catalog

Understand

The Fermi Gamma Ray Burst Monitor (GBM) is an all sky gamma-ray monitor well known in the gamma-ray burst community.

• Although GBM excels in detecting the hard, bright extragalactic GRBs, its sensitivity above 8 keV and all-sky view make it an excellent instrument for the detection of rare, short-lived Galactic transients.
• In March 2010, we initiated a systematic search for transients using GBM data.
• We conclude this phase of the search by presenting a 3 year catalog of 1084 X-ray bursts.
