GRBCATBOX ivo://nasa.heasarc/grbcatbox NASA/GSFC HEASARC Angelini et al. 2026-04-17 NASA/GSFC HEASARC help desk heasarc-vo at athena.gsfc.nasa.gov GRB This table is an associated to the GRBs Catalog and lists the parameters that define the localization region if the region is a box. For a given GRB the localization can be provided by different observatories with different region types or by the same region type with different parameters. The different region types reported in literature are the following: circle, annulus, box, dual, annulus intersect, irregular, and intersect. This table contains the description only for the box region type, the other types are stored in separate tables. The box region is defined by the corners of the box and a center given in RA and Dec. The number of corners to describe the box is up to six and for each corner the RA and Dec is provided. In a few cases, Laros et al. (1998) report "hybrid" boxes which are based on either the IPN and the BATSE-only or COMPTEL-only error regions were used. These hybrid boxes are defined by segments of one of the IPN annuli and an area. The measurements are reported as found in literature and any differences or remarks are included in one of the table parameter (local_notes). The literature references are provided in the GRBs Catalog main table which is linked to this region table. 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.
