BeppoSAX/GRBM Catalog: 1082 Gamma-Ray Bursts with Fluence and Flux

1082 gamma-ray bursts detected by the BeppoSAX satellite's Gamma Ray Burst Monitor, with 40-700 keV fluences from 1.3e-7 to 4.5e-4 erg/cm² and peak fluxes from 3.7e-8 to 7.0e-5 erg/cm²/s. This catalog was created by the NASA HEASARC in January 2010 based on the CDS catalog J/ApJS/180/192.

Use Cases

• Modeling gamma-ray burst energy distributions based on reported fluence and peak flux.
• Analyzing the statistical properties of a large sample of GRBs detected by a single instrument.
• Calibrating or validating other gamma-ray burst detection systems against the BeppoSAX/GRBM catalog.
• Studying correlations between reported GRB parameters for astrophysical classification.

Strengths

• Contains 1082 gamma-ray burst events, providing a substantial sample for statistical analysis.
• Reports specific fluence and peak flux ranges (1.3e-7 to 4.5e-4 erg/cm² and 3.7e-8 to -5 erg/cm²/s), offering quantitative energy measures.
• Originates from a recognized space mission (BeppoSAX) and is maintained by NASA HEASARC.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is known, but the specific parameters reported for each GRB beyond fluence and flux are not detailed in the description.
