Abstract:
Phebus instrument, a part of scientific equipment on board the Granat
astrophysical Observatory, has the purpose to study cosmic gamma-ray
bursts and solar flares in the range from 100keV to 100MeV.
This is the final catalog of cosmic gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) observed
in the PHEBUS experiment Granat orbiting astrophysical observatory.
This catalogue contains information on 66 events recorded from
December 1989 to May 199, 52 events recorded from June 1991 to
December 199, 60 events recorded from January 1993 until September
1994, and 32 events recorded from October 1994 until December 1996.
We provide the GRB light curves in the range 100keV - 1.6MeV, energy
spectra and data on the total energy fluxes and energy fluxes at GRB
luminosity peaks at energies above 100keV.

Note (1): YYMMDDa represents the mean year, month and day of burst
registration. (PhebusB YYMMDDa in Simbad)
Note (2): Number of session of observation, followed by a decimal point
and the registration number of the burst cell in this session.
Note (3): Duration time is the interval between the times when 5% and 95%
of the total burst energy was released.
Note (4): The hardness of the integrated energy spectra is defined as the
ratio of count numbers in the ranges 400-1000keV and 100-400keV.
Note (5): Analytical laws expressing the spectral data::
P: power law where Counts(E)=A.Ep:
P contains dimensionless exponent p
B: Bremsstrahlung law where Counts(E)=A.exp(-E/Eo)/E:
P contains the Eo value in keV
S: synchrotron radiation law where Counts(E)=A.exp(-(E/Ec)1/3)
P contains the Ec value in keV
Note (6): The chi2/DOF ratio characterizes the spectrum fitting reliability.
In the first and second part of the catalog, the ratio chi2/DOF is
given, in the third and last part of the catalog, the values of chi2
and DOF are given.
