SWIFTGRB - Swift Gamma Ray Bursts Catalog

HEASARC
Archive

Overview

This table contains the results of the Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) observed by Swift. The GRBs included are either triggered by Swift or follow-ups of GRBs discovered by other satellites. The table reports results and/or information, when possible, for each burst from all three instruments on board Swift, e.g. the Bursts Alert Telescope, BAT,the X-ray Telescope, XRT, and the Ultra-Violet Optical Telescope, UVOT. The results are obtained from a standard analysis processing of the Swift data which creates several data products available via this table. Additional information on the burst either from Gamma-ray and X-ray observations or results from ground-based telescopes are extracted from the GCN and the BAT Burst catalog. This table's data products are also available from the dedicated web pages http://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/swift/archive/grbsummary/.

The current database contains all bursts observed by Swift from the beginning of the mission, 20 Nov 2004 up to 31 Dec 2012. The data products are available for Bursts detected after 15 Feb 2005.

Provenance

This online catalog was created by the HEASARC based on machine-readable tables compiled by the HEASARC staff. Details are published in Donato et al. (2012).

Parameters

Name
This field contains the designation of the pointed source. It is written using the convention "GRB YYMMDD", with a space between the GRB prefix and the date. If multiple GRBs occur during one day, the convention is to append a letter to alphabetically differentiate the GRBs, as in "GRB YYMMDDn", where "n" is a letter starting from A. After January 1st, 2010 all the GRB names contain the letter.

Target_ID
This field uniquely identifies the burst. Its value is identical to the Target_ID assigned on board. It is a numerical value that can include up to 8 digits. A value in the range 20000-29999 is related to GRBs triggered by other missions or discovered from ground analysis of BAT data. A value higher than 100000 is assigned to BAT triggers.

Other_ID
This field contains an alternative burst identifier, where applicable. The value highly depends on the mission or telescope that triggered the GRB.

Det_Flag
The detection flag indicates if the GRB was triggered by the Swift satellite only ("S"), by other missions or telescopes only ("O"), or by both ("B").

Slew_Info
This field is used to report the reason for a delay in follow-up observation. The 3-letter values have the following meanings:

    BTS = GRB candidate automatically detected by the BAT Slew Survey (BATSS)

    EAR = Earth constraint
    GRN = GRB candidate found with ground processing
