Abstract:
    We present the catalog of X-ray afterglow observed by BeppoSAX from
    the launch of the satellite to the end of the mission. Thirty-three
    X-ray afterglows out of 39 observations were securely identified based
    on their fading behavior. We have extracted the continuum parameters
    (decay index, spectral index, flux, absorption) for all available
    afterglows. We point out a possible correlation between the X-ray
    afterglow luminosity and the energy emitted during the prompt
    gamma-ray event.
Description:
    This catalog gives the list of gamma-ray bursts observed by the
    BeppoSAX narrow fields instruments. We list for convenience bursts
    discovered by BeppoSAX or discovered by another mission but which
    X-ray afterglow was observed by BeppoSAX (table1.dat). We also list
    the properties of these bursts (table2.dat). Other informations, such
    as the spectral and temporal properties of the afterglow, extended to
    the XMM-Newton and Chandra results can be obtained at

    In parenthesis, non-BeppoSAX instrument. In such a case,
    the localization displayed has been provided by NFI.
Note (2): GRB 980425 was also observed between Nov. 10.75 and Nov. 12.0
Note (3): Detection flag as follows:
      N = No optical afterglow detection
      0 = No optical studies
      Y = Optical afterglow detection
      S = Optical afterglow detection and supernova association
Note (4): For GRB 000214 a redshift range was derived : 0.37-0.47.
          The median value is indicated in the table.

Note (1): Individual notes on GRB:
     * GRB 991106 may not be a GRB. See Cornelisse et al. (2002A&A...392..885C 2002A&A...392..885C).
       The 40-700keV fluence is a conservative 3 sigma limit based on GCN 448.
     * GRB 020410 2-10keV duration and fluence are lower limits
     * GRB 020427 40-700keV fluence is an upper limit
Note (2): When not available, values of 2-10keV fluences have been 
    calculated from the 2-26keV fluences and assuming the spectral
    parameters reported in the references.
