Abstract (from CDS):

We present the sample of gamma-ray bursts detected with the anti-coincidence shield ACS of the spectrometer SPI on-board INTEGRAL for the first 26.5months of mission operation (up to Jan. 2005). SPI-ACS works as a nearly omnidirectional gamma-ray burst detector above ∼80keV but lacks spatial and spectral information. In this catalogue, the properties derived from the 50ms light curves (e.g., T90, Cmax, Cint, variability, V/Vmax) are given for each candidate burst in the sample. A strong excess of very short events with durations <0.25s is found. This population is shown to be significantly different from the short- and long-duration burst sample by means of the intensity distribution and V/Vmax test and is certainly connected with cosmic ray hits in the detector. A rate of 0.3 true gamma-ray bursts per day is observed.
