Description:
This is the catalog of Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) detected with the Gamma
Ray Burst Monitor aboard the BeppoSAX satellite. It includes 1082 GRBs
with 40-700keV fluences in the range from 1.3x10-7 to 4.5x10-4erg/cm2,
and 40-700keV peak fluxes from 3.7x10-8 to 7.0x10-5erg/cm2/s. We
report in the catalog some relevant parameters of each GRB.

Note (1): GRB name formed by the date of detection, in the form YYDDMM.
In case of more than one burst in a day, a letter is added
Note (2): the time of GRB detection in the form hh.mm.ss (UT)
Note (3): Y (true) if high resolution time data are available for the GRB;
N (false) if not
Note (4): Instrument/catalog that provided the best GRB coordinates as follows:
G = BeppoSAX GRBM
W = BeppoSAX Wide Field Cameras
A = ASM aboard RXTE
4B = BATSE 4B catalog (Paciesas et al., 1999, Cat. IX/20)
H = HETE 2
K = Kommers catalog (Kommers et al., 2001, Cat. J/ApJS/134/385)
I = Inter-Planetary Network
P = RXTE PCA
S = Stern catalog (Stern et al., 2001, Cat. J/ApJ/563/80)
Note (5): Time elapsed from the earliest GRB onset above 2σ threshold
to its final disappearance below 2σ threshold
Note (6): Integrated fraction of Tdet in which the emission level is above
2σ
Note (7): Number of time intervals in which the emission level is above 2σ
Note (9): Detection units used for the derived parameter values
Note (10): Rebinning factor of the default light curve adopted to derive
the reported parameters. Default light curves: 1 s light curves in the
case of long GRB (T90>2s), 7.8125ms in the case of short GRBs
