cds-question@unistra.frx-ray-binary-starsx-ray-sourcesastronomical-reference-materialsWe present the largest sample of type I (thermonuclear) X-ray bursts yet assembled, comprising 7083 bursts from 85 bursting sources. The sample is drawn from observations with Xenon-filled proportional counters on the long-duration satellites RXTE, BeppoSAX, and International Gamma-Ray Astrophysics Laboratory between 1996 February 8 and 2012 May 3. The burst sources were drawn from a comprehensive catalog of 115 burst sources, assembled from earlier catalogs and the literature. We carried out a consistent analysis for each burst light curve (normalized to the relative instrumental effective area) and provide measurements of rise time, peak intensity, burst timescale, and fluence. For bursts observed with the RXTE/PCA and BeppoSAX/Wide Field Camera we also provide time-resolved spectroscopy, including estimates of bolometric peak flux and fluence, and spectral parameters at the peak of the burst. For 950 bursts observed with the PCA from sources with previously detected burst oscillations, we include an analysis of the high time resolution data, providing information on the detectability and amplitude of the oscillations, as well as where in the burst they are found. We also present analysis of 118,848 observations of the burst sources within the sample time frame. We extracted 3-25keV X-ray spectra from most observations, and (for observations meeting our signal-to-noise criterion) we provide measurements of the flux, spectral colors, and, for selected sources, the position on the color-color diagram, for the best-fit spectral model. We present a description of the sample, a summary of the science investigations completed to date, and suggestions for further studies.2020ApJS..249...32Ghttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/ApJS/249/32CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic serviceIsServedByConesearch servicerelated-toII/246 : 2MASS All-Sky Catalog of Point Sources (Cutri+ 2003)I/347 : Distances to 1.33 billion stars in Gaia DR2 (Bailer-Jones+, 2018)I/345 : Gaia DR2 (Gaia Collaboration, 2018)VII/202 : Globular Clusters in the Milky Way (Harris, 1997)J/AJ/109/1154 : JHK Photometry of Liller 1 (Frogel+ 1995)J/MNRAS/351/31 : XMM-Newton Galactic Plane Survey (XGPS) (Hands+, 2004)J/PAZh/32/508 : Hard X-ray Bursts by INTEGRAL; 2003-2004 (Chelovekov+, 2006)J/A+A/458/21 : INTEGRAL burst observations of 4U 1728-34 (Falanga+, 2006)J/A+A/469/807 : Catalogue of Galactic low-mass X-ray binaries (Liu+, 2007)J/AJ/133/1287 : JHK phot. of 24 Galactic globular clusters (Valenti+, 2007)J/A+A/484/783 : Spectroscopy of 7 INTEGRAL X-ray sources (Chaty+, 2008)J/ApJS/179/360 : Thermonuclear X-ray bursts with RXTE (Galloway+, 2008)J/ApJS/181/110 : Galactic center X-ray sources (Muno+, 2009)J/ApJS/186/1 : 4th IBIS/ISGRI soft gamma-ray survey catalog (Bird+, 2010)J/MNRAS/402/1729 : JHK phot. of 36 Galactic globular clusters (Valenti+ 2010)J/PAZh/37/651 : Hard X-ray bursts by INTEGRAL; 2003-2009 (Chelovekov+, 2011)J/ApJ/756/27 : Classif. of sources from the 2XMMi-DR3 cat.
