ABSTRACT
We present Interplanetary Network localization information for 343 gamma-ray bursts observed by the Burst and Transient Source Experiment (BATSE) between the end of the 4th BATSE catalog and the end of the Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory (CGRO) mission, obtained by analyzing the arrival times of these bursts at the Ulysses, Near Earth Asteroid Rendezvous (NEAR), and CGRO spacecraft. For any given burst observed by CGRO and one other spacecraft, arrival time analysis (or "triangulation") results in an annulus of possible arrival directions whose half-width varies between 11 arcsec and 21°, depending on the intensity, time history, and arrival direction of the burst, as well as the distance between the spacecraft. This annulus generally intersects the BATSE error circle, resulting in an average reduction of the area of a factor of 20. When all three spacecraft observe a burst, the result is an error box whose area varies between 1 and 48,000 arcmin2, resulting in an average reduction of the BATSE error circle area of a factor of 87.

1. INTRODUCTION
This paper presents the latest in a series of catalogs of gamma-ray burst (GRB) localizations obtained by arrival time analysis, or "triangulation" between the spacecraft in the 3rd Interplanetary Network (IPN; Table 1). Three of these catalogs (Hurley et al. 1999a, 1999b, 2005) were supplements to the Burst and Transient Source Experiment (BATSE) 3B and 4Br burst catalogs (Meegan et al. 1996; Paciesas et al. 1999) and to the catalogs of untriggered bursts published by Kommers et al. (2000) and Stern et al. (2000). In the present paper, we complete the BATSE triggered event catalog supplements with the data on 343 bursts which occurred between the end of the 4Br catalog (trigger 5586 on 1996 August 29) and the end of the Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory (CGRO) mission (corresponding to trigger 8121 on 2000 May 26). The BATSE data on these events will appear in M. S. Briggs et al. (2011, in preparation). As none of the information in the 3B or 4Br supplements has changed, we do not include any of the detailed data on those bursts in this catalog.

2. INSTRUMENTATION, SEARCH PROCEDURE, DERIVATION OF ANNULI, AND BURST SELECTION CRITERIA
With one exception, which we discuss below (the addition of the Near Earth Asteroid Rendezvous (NEAR) spacecraft to the IPN), these did not change from the 3B and 4Br catalogs. We review each briefly, but refer the reader to Hurley et al. (1999a, 1999b) for more detailed descriptions.
The Ulysses GRB detector (Hurley et al. 1992) consisted of two 3 mm thick hemispherical CsI scintillators with a projected area of about 20 cm2 in any direction. The detector was mounted on a magnetometer boom far from the body of the spacecraft and had a practically unobstructed view of the full sky. During the period covered by this catalog, the Ulysses–Earth distance varied between about 1500 and 3100 lt-s. BATSE consisted of eight detector modules situated at the corners of the CGRO spacecraft. Each contained a Large Area Detector (LAD), consisting of a 50.8 cm diameter by 1.27 cm thick NaI scintillator (Meegan et al. 1996).
The NEAR mission was launched in 1996 February. Its orbit included an Earth flyby in 1998 January and an unsuccessful first attempt to enter into orbit around the asteroid Eros in 1998 December. The spacecraft finally went into Eros orbit in 2000 February. The mission carried a gamma-ray spectrometer for the study of the surface composition of Eros (Goldsten et al. 1997; McClanahan et al. 1999; Trombka et al. 1999). Its bismuth germanate anticoincidence shield was a right circular cylinder 8.9 cm in diameter by 14 cm long. Although it was not specifically designed as a GRB detector, an in-flight modification to the on-board software allowed the shield to record the time histories of bursts with 1 s time resolution in a single energy channel (∼0.15–10 MeV), and the first GRB was detected on 1997 September 2. During the period covered by this catalog, the NEAR-Earth distance varied between 0.03 and 1300 lt-s, approximately.
Every cosmic burst detected by BATSE in triggered mode was systematically searched for in the Ulysses and NEAR data by using the approximate arrival direction from BATSE and the positions of the Ulysses and NEAR spacecraft to calculate a window of possible arrival times at these spacecraft. Typical window lengths were 300–500 s, and the data were plotted and searched both by eye and software for a count rate increase corresponding to the BATSE event.
The triangulation technique is illustrated in Figure 1. When a GRB arrives at two spacecraft with a delay δT, it may be localized to an annulus whose half-angle θ with respect to the vector joining the two spacecraft is given by
where c is the speed of light and D is the distance between the two spacecraft. (This assumes that the burst is a plane wave, i.e., that its distance is much greater than D.) The annulus width dθ, and thus one dimension of the resulting error box, is
where σ(δT) is the uncertainty in the time delay. The radius of each annulus and its right ascension and declination are calculated in a heliocentric (i.e., aberration-corrected) frame. These annuli are given in Table 2, and an example is shown in Figure 2. In general, the annuli obtained by triangulations are small circles on the celestial sphere, so their curvature, even across a relatively small BATSE error circle, is not always negligible, and a simple, four-sided error box cannot be defined. An extreme example is shown in Figure 3. For this reason, we do not cite the intersection points of the annuli with the error circles. A prescription for deriving these points, however, may be found in Hurley et al. (1999a).

When three experiments (Ulysses, NEAR, and BATSE) observe a burst, the result is two annuli which generally intersect to define two widely separated error boxes. The BATSE error circle is used to distinguish the correct one. An example is shown in Figure 4.

Standard image High-resolution imageA number of degenerate cases can occur when there is a three-experiment detection. First, the annuli can intersect at grazing incidence. Geometrically, this corresponds to the case θ1 + θ2 ≈ ∠NBU, where θ1 is the radius of the first IPN annulus in Equation (1), θ2 is the radius of the second IPN annulus in Equation (1), and ∠NBU is the NEAR–BATSE–Ulysses angle. When this occurs, the annuli may cross at one, two, three, or four points, often defining a long, narrow error box. An example is shown in Figure 5. Second, if the three spacecraft are approximately aligned, i.e., ∠NBU ≈ 0°, one annulus can be completely contained within the other, i.e., θ1 ≈ θ2. Because NEAR and CGRO are in the ecliptic plane, and Ulysses is outside it, this case did not occur for any of the bursts discussed here. Third, if the burst arrives along the line joining two spacecraft, then θ ≈ 0° and sin θ ≈ 0, and the annulus has a small radius but a very large width dθ. In these cases, the width of the annulus can exceed its radius, and the annulus becomes a circle; the second annulus intersects it to define a single error box. Finally, if the annuli intersect almost at grazing incidence, the two intersections are close to one another and may both be located within the BATSE 1σ error circle, making it impossible to determine the correct location. An example is shown in Figure 6. A total of 11 events in this catalog produced degenerate localizations.

Standard image High-resolution imageThe main selection criterion for a burst in this catalog is that it must have been detected by BATSE and/or Ulysses and/or NEAR. As in previous catalogs, we sometimes utilized various criteria to determine whether a burst was actually detected, such as the goodness of fit between the light curves, as judged by the correlation coefficient and a chi-squared statistic, as well as the ratio of the observed Ulysses counts to the BATSE counts. There is, however, a difference in the triangulation technique between the events presented here and those presented in previous catalogs. GRB time histories are energy-dependent. A time history taken in the 25–150 keV Ulysses energy range may differ from that taken in the NEAR ∼ 150–10,000 keV range. The magnitude of this difference varies considerably from event to event and can easily be judged in, say, the χ2 technique (Hurley et al. 1999a), where the goodness of fit is reflected in the value of χ2 per degree of freedom. When the match between two time histories is poor, the estimate of the statistical uncertainty in the time difference may become unreliable. This, in turn, renders the annulus width estimates, and hence the confidence value for the error box suspect. We have been able to avoid this problem here by comparing time histories in the same or very similar energy ranges. Thus the Ulysses 25–150 keV time histories were compared to 25–100 keV BATSE time histories, while the NEAR time histories were compared to the >100 keV BATSE time histories.
3. A FEW STATISTICS
There are 1068 bursts in the 5B catalog (M. S. Briggs et al. 2011, in preparation). Of these, 343 were observed by Ulysses and/or NEAR, and in some cases, other spacecraft as well.13 Ninety-one bursts were detected by all three spacecraft. Thus the IPN observed approximately one out of every 3.1 BATSE bursts over this period. The fraction of BATSE bursts observed by the IPN is slightly higher in this catalog than in previous ones due to the addition of the NEAR spacecraft. The combination of the 3B and 4Br supplements and the present catalog contains 708 bursts.
The histogram of Figure 7 shows the distribution of annulus half-widths (i.e., δRIPN in Table 2) for the 343 bursts localized. The smallest is about 11'', the largest is 21°, and the average is 96. (The largest annulus width occurred for BATSE 6580 on 1998 January 25, when the NEAR spacecraft passed the Earth at a distance of only 0.478 lt-s on its way to encounter with Eros.)

Standard image High-resolution imageOf the 343 bursts, 253 were localized to single annuli by the IPN, and another 11, although detected by all three spacecraft, were degenerate localizations which prevented the derivation of a useful error box. These may be treated as single annuli. Considering these 264 annuli, 185, or 70%, intersect the BATSE 1σ error circles, whose radii are defined by , where σsys is the systematic error, 16, and σstat is the statistical error. The combined IPN/BATSE error regions are an average factor of ∼20 smaller than the BATSE error circles. 70% is somewhat less than the percentage which would be predicted purely on the basis of statistics (87%). A detailed comparison of the IPN and BATSE localizations results in several more complicated BATSE error models that render the BATSE and IPN localizations consistent (Briggs et al. 1999).
Although 91 bursts were observed by Ulysses, NEAR, and BATSE, 11 were degenerate, leaving 80 with well-defined IPN error boxes. The smallest has an area of approximately 0.7 arcmin2, and the largest, 48,000 arcmin2. The average area is 1100 arcmin2, and the average ratio of the area of the BATSE error circle to the area of the IPN error box is ∼87. Forty-six, or 58%, of these error boxes are partially or completely contained within their corresponding BATSE error circles. A histogram of IPN error box sizes is shown in Figure 8. The centers and corners of the 80 error boxes are given in Table 3. However, in some cases, the curvature of the annuli may render a simple, four-corner error box description inaccurate.

Figure 9 shows the BATSE peak fluxes and fluences for 272 of the 343 bursts with flux and fluence entries in the 5B catalog. Although the Ulysses and NEAR GRB detectors are roughly 100 and 16 times smaller in area than a single BATSE LAD, Figure 9 demonstrates that they are capable of detecting bursts with very small fluences, provided that the peak flux is relatively high and vice versa.

Standard image High-resolution image4. TABLES OF ANNULI AND ERROR BOXES
The 14 columns in Table 2 give (1) the date of the burst, in yymmdd format; this contains a link to a figure on the IPN Web site showing the annulus or error box and the BATSE error circle, (2) the Universal Time of the burst at Earth, (3) the BATSE number for the burst, (4) the BATSE right ascension of the center of the error circle (J2000), in degrees, (5) the BATSE declination of the center of the error circle (J2000), in degrees, (6) the total 1σ statistical BATSE error circle radius, in degrees, (the approximate total 1σ radius is obtained by adding 16 in quadrature, but see Briggs et al. 1999 for an improved error model), (7) the right ascension of the center of the first IPN annulus, epoch J2000, in the heliocentric frame, in degrees, (8) the declination of the center of the first IPN annulus, epoch J2000, in the heliocentric frame, in degrees, (9) the angular radius of the first IPN annulus, in the heliocentric frame, in degrees, (10) the half-width of the first IPN annulus, in degrees; the 3σ confidence annulus is given by RIPN1 ± δ RIPN1, (11) the right ascension of the center of the second IPN annulus, epoch J2000, in the heliocentric frame, in degrees, (12) the declination of the center of the second IPN annulus, epoch J2000, in the heliocentric frame, in degrees, (13) the angular radius of the second IPN annulus, in the heliocentric frame, in degrees, and (14) the half-width of the second IPN annulus, in degrees; the 3σ confidence annulus is given by RIPN2 ± δ RIPN2.
The BATSE data have been taken from the latest online catalog and are given here for convenience only; the catalog14 should be considered to be the ultimate source of the most up-to-date BATSE data. The data in Table 2 are also available electronically.15 A footnote indicates if the localization was degenerate, as defined in the previous section, and if the annulus or error box was confirmed by an independent observation (see the discussion section). The references in the latter footnotes are not meant to be exhaustive; in most cases, there are numerous reports of follow-up observations.

Table 3 gives the centers and corners of the error boxes for the three-spacecraft localizations. The four columns contain the following: (1) the date of the burst, (2) the BATSE trigger number, (3) the right ascension of the center of the error box, on the first row, and the right ascensions of the four corners on the following four rows, and (4) the declination of the center of the error box, on the first row, and the declinations of the four corners on the following four rows.
All coordinates are J2000.
5. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION
The years covered in this supplement were witness to a number of dramatic events which changed the course of GRB studies. Two missions became operational which had the capability of independently determining small (several arcminute) error boxes rapidly, namely the Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer (RXTE), launched on 1995 December 30, and BeppoSAX, launched on 1996 April 30. The first GRB counterpart identifications were made starting in 1997, based on BeppoSAX positions, and later identifications came not only from BeppoSAX, but also from RXTE and the IPN. Apart from the fact that these identifications were a breakthrough in understanding the origin of GRBs, they were also important because they provided the first localizations which were as accurate as or more accurate than the IPN ones. Thus they serve as a confirmation of the IPN accuracy. As noted in Table 2, a total of 22 bursts were either localized independently, confirming the IPN annulus or error box. Still another event, the giant flare of 1998 August 27 from SGR1900+14, and the discovery of its transient radio emission (Hurley et al. 1999c; Frail et al. 1999) provided a confirmation of the IPN accuracy during this period.
Although this represents the last installment of the IPN supplements to the BATSE burst catalogs, work is continuing on the localization of IPN bursts and on the preparation of catalogs of these events. Data on these events may be found at the IPN Web site.17
Support for the Ulysses GRB experiment was provided by JPL Contract 958056. Joint analysis of Ulysses and BATSE data was supported by NASA Grants NAG 5-1560 and NAG5-9701. NEAR data analysis was supported under NASA Grants NAG 5-3500 and NAG 5-9503. We are also grateful to the NEAR team for their modifications to the XGRS experiment which made gamma-ray burst detection possible.
