VizieR Online Data Catalog: The Multi-INstrument Burst ARchive (MINBAR) (Galloway+, 2020)

The Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) was launched into an approximately 90-minute low Earth orbit on 1995 December 30 and operated until the end of the mission on 2012 January 3. The spacecraft featured three science instruments: the All-Sky Monitor (ASM), the High-Energy X-ray Timing Experiment (HEXTE), and the Proportional Counter Array (PCA). We used PCA data for the principal analysis for this paper. See Section 3.1.

The BeppoSAX broadband X-ray observatory was launched on 1996 April 30. It became operational 2 months later and remained active until 2002 May 1. The WFC is the primary instrument adopted for the Multi-INstrument Burst ARchive (MINBAR). See Section 3.2.

The hard X-ray and γ-ray observatory INTEGRAL has been orbiting the Earth about every 3 days since launch on 2002 October 17. The satellite carries, besides an optical monitor camera, three coded-mask instruments operating simultaneously and covering different energy bands from 3keV up to 10MeV. In the present work we use data from the X-ray monitor JEM-X. See Section 3.3.

Data release 1 of MINBAR consists of 7083 unique bursts, detected within 118848 observations of 85 burst sources made between 1996 February 8, and 2012 May 3.
