The Current BATSE Burst Catalog contains eight tables that characterize the gamma-ray bursts that have been detected by BATSE. This release of the catalog covers bursts detected up to and including May 26, 2000. The eight tables and their contents are:

• Basic Information Table

Includes Batse trigger number, burst name, time of trigger, derived source direction, angle from geocenter to burst direction, information about burst overwrites for each burst.

• CMAX/CMIN Table

Includes Batse trigger number, cmax/cmin and cmin values for the 64 ms, 256 ms and 1.024 s trigger timescales for each burst.

• Comments Table

Includes Batse trigger number and free form comments for each burst.

• Duration Table

Includes Batse trigger number, and the durations required for integration of 50% and 90% of the burst fluence for each burst.

• Flux Table

Includes BATSE trigger number, peak flux on the 64 ms, 256 ms, and 1.024 s trigger timescales, and fluences in four energy channels for each burst.

• Exposure Table

Describes the average exposure time as a function of declination for burst detection.

• Trigger Efficiency

Describes the fraction of time a burst will be triggered on each of the trigger timescales as a function of the burst intensity.

• Trigger Criteria History

A table of the trigger threshold and energy range vs. time.
