WATCHDOG: A Comprehensive All-sky Database of Galactic Black Hole X-ray Binaries

Heinke, C. O.; Sivakoff, G. R.; Gladstone, J. C. +1 more

With the advent of more sensitive all-sky instruments, the transient universe is being probed in greater depth than ever before. Taking advantage of available resources, we have established a comprehensive database of black hole (and black hole candidate) X-ray binary (BHXB) activity between 1996 and 2015 as revealed by all-sky instruments, scanni…

The Third Fermi GBM Gamma-Ray Burst Catalog: The First Six Years

Collazzi, Andrew C.; Preece, Robert D.; Kouveliotou, Chryssa +30 more

Since its launch in 2008, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) has triggered and located on average approximately two γ-ray bursts (GRBs) every three days. Here, we present the third of a series of catalogs of GRBs detected by GBM, extending the second catalog by two more years through the middle of 2014 July. The resulting list includes 1405 t…

The IBIS Soft Gamma-Ray Sky after 1000 Integral Orbits

Hill, A. B.; Bird, A. J.; Fiocchi, M. +6 more

Here we report an all-sky soft gamma-ray source catalog based on IBIS observations performed during the first 1000 orbits of INTEGRAL. The database for the construction of the source list consists of all good-quality data available, from the launch in 2002, up to the end of 2010. This corresponds to ∼110 Ms of scientific public observations, with …
