A Second Catalog of Gamma-Ray Bursts: 1978--1980 Localizations from the Interplanetary Network
Abstract
A catalog of 84 gamma-ray bursts which occurred between September 14, 1978 and February 13, 1980 is presented. The data presented consist of earth crossing times, given to about the nearest second, and time histories, in the tens of keV to MeV range, for all 84 events, as well as localizations for 80 of the events. The localizations, derived from arrival-time analysis, are given as single error boxes, double error boxes, or annuli of location, and, where possible, have been compared to the Konus localizations. They range in size from less than a square arcminute to over 1000 square degrees. The fluences of the bursts cataloged are in the range 3 x 10 to the -7th ergs/sq cm and above.
