Abstract:
Between the launch of the Global Geospace Science Wind spacecraft in
1994 November and the end of 2010, the Konus-Wind experiment detected
296 short-duration gamma-ray bursts (including 23 bursts which can be
classified as short bursts with extended emission). During this
period, the Interplanetary Network (IPN) consisted of up to 11
spacecraft, and using triangulation, the localizations of 271 bursts
were obtained. We present the most comprehensive IPN localization data
on these events. The short burst detection rate, ∼18/yr, exceeds that
of many individual experiments.

Note (1): Also the number of rows with localization information for the burst.
Note (2): Location source with syntax as below:
sc1-sc2 = triangulation annulus derived using sc1 and sc2 where sc is the
spacecraft/instrument which detected the burst.
sc = Spacecraft/instrument which imaged or autonomously localized
the burst.
Occ.sc = The occulted part of the sky for the spacecraft/instrument which
detected the burst.

autonomous localizations the instrument names are given (i.e., BATSE,
GRBM, GBM). "BATSEbg": localization from the BATSE untriggered burst
catalog (Stern et al. 2001, Cat. J/ApJ/563/80). "BATSEshift": BATSE

Note (1): Type of error region as follows:
B = box;
LB = long box: box with maximum dimension >10°;
S = segment;
A = annulus.
Note (2): That is the maximum angular distance between two points at the region
boundary; for segments larger than half an annulus, this is just the
outer diameter of the annulus.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Global notes:
Note (G1): The burst designation: "YYYYMMDD_Tsssss", where YYYYMMDD is the
burst date, and sssss is the Konus-Wind trigger time (s UT) truncated
to integer seconds (Note that, due to Wind's large distance from
Earth, this trigger time can differ by up to 6.1s from the
Earth-crossing time.
