Fifth IBIS/ISGRI Soft Gamma-Ray Survey Catalog

This table contains 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 of INTEGRAL in 2002, up to the end of 2010. This corresponds to ~ 110 Ms of scientific public observations, with a concentrated coverage on the Galactic Plane and extragalactic deep exposures. This new catalog includes 939 sources above a 4.5-sigma significance threshold detected in the 17-100 keV energy band, of which 120 sources represent previously undiscovered soft gamma-ray emitters. The source positions are determined, mean fluxes are provided in two main energy bands, and these are both reported together with the overall source exposure. Indicative levels of variability are provided, and outburst times and durations are given for transient sources. In the reference paper, a comparison is made with previous IBIS catalogs and catalogs from other similar missions. This database table, the Fifth IBIS/ISGRI source catalog, was ingested by the HEASARC in September 2016 based on the machine-readable version of Table 2 of the above-cited paper, which was obtained from the CDS website. It replaced the previous (fourth) version. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

ODY MARS GAMMA RAY SPECTROMETER 2 EDR V1.0

The Odyssey Gamma Ray Spectrometer (GRS) Experiment Data Records (EDRs) are raw, uncalibrated spectra and ancillary data acquired by the Gamma Ray Subsystem -- the Gamma Sensor Head (GSH), the Neutron Spectrometer (NS), and the High Energy Neutron Detector (HEND).

First AGILE Catalog of High-Confidence Gamma-Ray Sources

This table contains the first catalog of high-confidence gamma-ray sources detected by the AGILE satellite during observations performed from July 9, 2007 to June 30, 2008. Cataloged sources were detected by merging all the available data over the entire time period. AGILE, launched in April 2007, is an Italian Space Agency (ASI) mission devoted to gamma-ray observations in the 30 MeV - 50 GeV energy range, with simultaneous X-ray imaging capability in the 18 - 60 keV band. This catalog is based on Gamma-Ray Imaging Detector (GRID) data for energies greater than 100 MeV. For the first AGILE catalog, the authors adopted a conservative analysis, with a high-quality event filter optimized to select gamma-ray events within the central zone of the instrument field of view (radius of 40 degrees). This is a significance-limited (4-sigma) catalog, and it is not a complete flux-limited sample due to the non-uniform first-year AGILE sky coverage. The catalog includes 47 sources, 21 of which are associated with confirmed or candidate pulsars, 13 with blazars (7 flat-spectrum radio quasars [FSRQ], 4 BL Lacs, 2 unknown type), 2 with HMXRBs, 2 with SNRs, 1 with a colliding-wind binary system, and 8 with unidentified sources. This table was created by the HEASARC in March 2010 based on <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/A+A/506/1563">CDS catalog J/A+A/506/1563</a> file table3.dat.

Kaguya Gamma-Ray Spectrometer Corrected Spectra Bundle

This archive contains Kaguya Gamma-Ray Spectrometer (KGRS) corrected and calibrated time-series spectra and ephemerides, pointing, and geometry (EPG) data for the nominal and extended observation periods of JAXA's SELENE (Kaguya) mission. The SELENE mission was the Japanese mission to the Moon with a main orbiter “Kaguya” and two daughter relay satellites launched on Sep. 14, 2007. KGRS was mounted on the deck of the main orbiter. It employed a high-purity Ge (HPGe) crystal as a main detector, and surrounding BGO and plastic scintillators as anti-coincidence detectors to reduce backgrounds. The Ge crystal was cooled by a Sterling refrigerator. It made close-proximity observations of the Moon from Dec. 14, 2007 to Dec. 11, 2008 at the high circular orbital altitude of 100 km, and from Feb. 10 to May 28 in 2009 at the low elliptical orbital altitude of ~30 x 50 km. KGRS recorded energy spectra of gamma rays in two gain modes simultaneously; high gain (0.1 to 3 MeV) and low gain (0.1 to 13 MeV), each of which was analyzed by the 13-bit (8192 ch) analog-to-digital converter (ADC). While the former has a higher spectral resolution over the energy range of radioactive elements, the latter has better statistics and covers the whole energy range of major rock-forming elements, including the Fe neutron capture line at 7.6 MeV. The accumulation time of each spectrum was 17 s. Both modes of spectra are included in this archive. The observation epochs of KGRS consists of three regular measurement periods (Period 1 to 3), background measurements, and the annealing of the Ge crystal. The HPGe detector was annealed from 16 to 25, December 2008, which improved energy resolution by a factor of two. Period 1 and 2 lasted two and five months, respectively, with limited spatial or spectral resolutions. Period 3 lasted ~3.5 months (including dead time) with the best spatial and spectral resolutions. In addition, spectra from the background measurement when the satellite was flipped and the detector faced deep space can be analyzed to estimate the background gamma-ray intensity from the satellite due to the exposure to galactic cosmic rays. This archive consists of three spectrum files (each corresponding to one KGRS epoch) and one unified EPG file. The spectrum files contain a time series of corrected and calibrated pulse height spectra acquired by KGRS's HPGe detector in the lunar orbit. In the spectrum files, each row contains the spacecraft clock (sclk) ticks and UTC time corresponding to the end of the accumulation interval (17 s), with the two sets of the 8192-channel HPGe spectra accumulated. In the EPG file, each row starts with sclk recorded at the end of the accumulation interval to match spacecraft positions, pointing, and correction factors with the corrected spectra. Note that the UTC time and ephemeris time included in the EPG file correspond to the midpoint of the accumulation interval. The Kaguya Gamma-Ray Spectrometer Corrected Spectra bundle was created by Naoyuki Yamashita at Planetary Science Institute, AZ, USA, with the permission of JAXA and the KGRS instrument PI Prof. Nobuyuki Hasebe. This work was supported by the NASA under Grant No. NNX16AG54G issued through the Planetary Data Archiving, Restoration, and Tools Program (PDART), Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) 2015.

The LAT Second Pulsar Catalog is available as a .tgz (tarred and zipped) archive file. The archive includes a main catalog FITS file with the data from the paper tables, images of the light curve and spectral energy distributions (SEDs) for each pulsar, FITS files containing the data points used in those images, and the timing parameters used in the analysis. A full description of the online archive is given in Appendix B of the preprint. Upon final publication, this catalog will also be generated as a BROWSE table that will be linked to this page.

Swift Gamma Ray Bursts Catalog

This table contains the results of the Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) observed by Swift. The GRBs included are either triggered by Swift or follow-ups of GRBs discovered by other satellites. The table reports results and/or information, when possible, for each burst from all three instruments on board Swift, e.g. the Bursts Alert Telescope, BAT,the X-ray Telescope, XRT, and the Ultra-Violet Optical Telescope, UVOT. The results are obtained from a standard analysis processing of the Swift data which creates several data products available via this table. Additional information on the burst either from Gamma-ray and X-ray observations or results from ground-based telescopes are extracted from the GCN and the BAT Burst catalog. This table's data products are also available from the dedicated web pages <a href="http://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/swift/archive/grbsummary/">http://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/swift/archive/grbsummary/</a>. The current database contains all bursts observed by Swift from the beginning of the mission, 20 Nov 2004 up to 31 Dec 2012. The data products are available for Bursts detected after 15 Feb 2005. This online catalog was created by the HEASARC based on machine-readable tables compiled by the HEASARC staff. Details are published in Donato et al. (2012).

Response of human lymphoblastoid cells to HZE (iron ions) or gamma-rays

Transcriptional profiling of human lymphoblastoid TK6 cells comparing mock irradiated cells with cells exposed 24 hours previously to 1.67 Gy HZE (1 GeV/amu iron ions accelerated at the NASA Space Research Laboratory (NSRL) of Brookhaven National Laboratory) or 2.5 Gy 137Cs gamma rays. TK6 cells were mock irradiated or exposed to HZE or gamma-rays, and RNA was harvested 24 hours later. 3 biological replicates were independently grown and harvested during three different runs at the NSRL. One replicate per array.

MESSENGER E/V/H GRNS 2 GAMMA RAY SPECTROMETER RAW DATA V1.0

Abstract ======== This data set consists of the MESSENGER GRS uncalibrated observations, also known as EDRs. The GRS experiment is a gamma ray spectrometer designed to observe spectrum of gamma rays emitted from Mercury's surface in the energy range from 0.1 to 10 MeV. There are ten GRS EDR data products: the raw spectra data, the spectra data from the shield (2 versions), shield count rate data, the anti-coincident spectra data, the microphonics data, the software rate counter data, the status parameters, the state of the instrument, and a GRS instrument command list.

Catalog of Gamma-Ray Bursts

This GRBs Catalog (GRBCAT) records high level information of the GRBs detected since their discovery in 1967. The catalog has been created using publications that report lists of GRB detections. These are mostly papers already published in refereed journals, unpublished papers, and PhD thesis presenting lists of GRBs. GRBCAT includes also compilation of bursts that were already present in the HEASARC database system. The catalog is organized with a main table reporting general information for each GRB and additional tables linked to the main table where specific information for the flux and the region of detection are reported. Afterglow measurements are also recorded in a separate table for all bursts detected after May 11 1996. The main table for each GRB contains an entry for each satellite that reports a detection with either a flux and/or position measurement. Therefore for a given GRB there are multiple records if the GRB was detected by more than one satellite. The associated flux table contains an entry for each flux and fluence values reported in literature for a given energy band. The positional information is reported via different tables each dedicated to a specific region of detection. The region descriptions are the following : circle, annulus, box, dual, annulus intersect, irregular, and intersect. The associated afterglow table contains position, intensity and redshift measurements taken after the discovery of the GRB. There are several records associated to a given GRB/afterglow since several observatories collected data on that position. The main table and the associated tables are updated when a new GRB and/or afterglow measurements are reported. This table was ingested by the HEASARC in June 2008 based on electronic versions obtained from the author(s), who compiled the catalog in 2005. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

LAT Second Catalog of Gamma-ray Pulsars

Candidate Gamma-Ray Blazar Survey Source Catalog

The authors have constructed a uniform all-sky survey of bright blazars, selected primarily by their flat radio spectra, that is designed to provide a large catalog of likely gamma-ray active galactic nuclei (AGNs). The defined sample, the Candidate Gamma-Ray Blazar Survey (CGRaBS) source catalog, has 1625 targets with radio and X-ray properties similar to those of the EGRET blazars, spread uniformly across the |b| > 10 degrees sky. They also report progress toward optical characterization of the sample; of objects with known red magnitude R < 23, 85% have been classified and 81% have measured redshifts. One goal of this program is to focus attention on the most interesting (e.g., high-redshift, high-luminosity, etc.) sources for intensive multi-wavelength study during the observations by the Large Area Telescope (LAT) on the Gamma-Ray Large-Area Space Telescope (GLAST) satellite observatory. This table was created by the HEASARC in April 2008 based on an electronic version of Table 2 of the reference paper obtained from the electronic ApJS web site.

MESSENGER E/V/H GRNS 5 GAMMA RAY SPECTROMETER DAP V1.0

Abstract ======== The GRS experiment is a gamma-ray spectrometer designed to observe spectra of gamma rays emitted from Mercury's surface in the energy range from 0.1 to 10 MeV. This data set consists of the MESSENGER GRS advanced data products (DAPs), which are jpeg2000 maps of gamma-ray count rates or elemental abundances derived from summed GRS data, each with a corresponding one standard deviation error map.

ODY MARS GAMMA RAY SPECTROMETER 4 DHD V1.0

Prism counting rates, normalizations, corrections, and thermal, epithermal, and fast neutron counting rates derived from neutron data collected by the Neutron Spectrometer of the Odyssey GRS instrument suite.

LP MOON GAMMA RAY SPECTROMETER 3 RDR V1.0

This data set contains processed LP-GRS time-series data that are used as the fundamental data for deriving composition measurements of the lunar surface using either energy window techniques or the full modeling of the neutron and gamma ray transport processes. These data have been processed to eliminate bad data as well as to make corrections due to time variations in the cosmic ray flux, LP-GRS gain, LP-GRS orientation, and altitude above the lunar surface.

CGRO/BATSE 5B Gamma-Ray Burst Spectral Catalog

The CGRO/BATSE 5B Gamma-Ray Burst Spectral Catalog contains the results of systematic spectral analyses of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) detected with the Burst and Transient Source Experiment (BATSE) on board the Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory (CGRO) during its entire nine years of operation. This catalog contains two types of spectra extracted from 2,145 GRBs, and fitted with five different spectral models resulting in a compendium of over 19,000 spectra. The models were selected based on their empirical importance to the spectral shape of many GRBs, and the analysis performed was devised to be as thorough and objective as possible. In their paper, the authors describe in detail their procedures and criteria for the analyses, and present the bulk results in the form of parameter distributions. This catalog should be considered an official product from the BATSE Science Team, and the data files containing the complete results are soon to be available from the HEASARC. This table lists all of the spectroscopy results of gamma-ray bursts observed by a subset of the 8 BATSE Large Area Detectors. BATSE consisted, in part, of an array of 8 sodium iodide Large Area Detectors (LADs) which covered the energy range from ~20 keV - 2 MeV. The LAD detectors were placed at each of the eight corners of the CGRO spacecraft with an outward orientation such that the entire sky not occulted by the Eartt was observed. The spectrum files ("scat" files) available as FITS-format data products associated with this catalog provide parameter values and goodness-of-fit measures for different types of spectral fits and models. These fits are performed using 14-channel data, usually 2-second resolution CONT data. There are currently two spectrum categories: <pre> * Peak flux ('pflx') - a single spectrum over a 2.05-second time range at the peak flux of the burst * Fluence ('flnc') - a single spectrum over the entire burst duration </pre> The quoted fluxes and fluences are for the 20 keV - 2 MeV energy range, notice. The scat files have two extensions. The first extension gives detector-specific information, including photon fluxes and fluences for each detector, which are provided for each energy channel. The second extension provides derived quantities such as flux, fluence and model parameters for the joint fit of all included detectors. The scat files and their energy-resolved quantities contained in these two extensions will be available soon in the HEASARC data archive. Quantities derived from these spectral fits are available in the present table, as described below and in the Goldstein et al. (2013) reference paper. The spectra are fit with a number of models, with the signal-to-noise ratio of the spectrum often determining whether a more complex model is statistically favored. The current set is: <pre> * Power law ('plaw'), * Comptonized (exponentially attenuated power law; 'comp') * Band ('band') * Smoothly broken power law ('sbpl') * Log_10 Gaussian ('glog') </pre> The full details of these models are presented in Section 4 of the reference paper. The type of spectrum and spectral model are coded into the parameter names (and the associated file names) using the acronyms given above. Thus for example, the parameters with names beginning with 'flnc_glog' contain the results from fits to the fluence spectra using Log<sub>10</sub> Gaussian models. The corresponding spectrum file for the burst with trigger number 105 with the results from a fit to the fluence spectrum using a Log<sub>10</sub> Gaussian model is named scat_0105_flnc_glog_v00.fit. Please note that this table lists the raw results of each spectral fit to each GRB. In cases where the spectral fit failed, the values reported are those that initialized the spectral fit. If the uncertainty on the spectral parameters is reported as zero (no uncertainty), then the fit failed. In a few cases throughout this table, the uncertainties for certain spectral parameters may be reported as '9999.99' which indicates that the uncertainty on that parameter is completely unconstrained. An example of this is when the spectral data from a burst is fitted with a BAND function but is unable to constrain the high-energy index. In this case, the best fit centroid value of the high-energy index parameter is reported, and the '9999.99' value is reported for the uncertainty. This table was created by the HEASARC in November 2013 based on electronic versions of Tables 6 through 10, inclusive, from the reference paper which were obtained from the ApJS web site.

ODY MARS GAMMA RAY SPECTROMETER 4 CGS V1.0

The Mars Odyssey Gamma-Ray Spectrometer (GRS) is a suite of three instruments working together to collect data that will permit the mapping of elemental concentrations on the surface of Mars. The suite of three instruments, the gamma sensor head (GS), the neutron spectrometer (NS) and the high-energy neutron detector (HEND), are a complimentary set of instruments in that the neutron instruments have better counting statistics and sample to a greater depth than the GS, but the GS determines the abundance of many more elements. A full description of the Mars Odyssey Gamma-Ray Spectrometer instrument can be found in [BOYNTONETAL2002].

ODY MARS GAMMA RAY SPECTROMETER 5 AHD V1.0

The Odyssey Gamma Ray Spectrometer (GRS) Averaged HEND Data (AHD) products are temporally and spatially binned neutron counting rates and fluxes that can be used to create global maps. These products are generated from the Derived HEND Data (DHD) product, which in turn are derived from HEND EDRs.
