This is the second of a series of catalogs of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) observed with the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM). It extends the first two-year catalog by two more years, resulting in an overall list of 953 GBM triggered GRBs. The intention of the GBM GRB catalog is to provide information to the community on the most important observables of the GBM detected GRBs. For each GRB the location and main characteristics of the prompt emission, the duration, peak flux and fluence are derived. The latter two quantities are calculated for the 50–300 keV energy band, where the maximum energy release of GRBs in the instrument reference system is observed and also for a broader energy band from 10–1000 keV, exploiting the full energy range of GBMs low-energy detectors. Furthermore, information is given on the settings and modifications of the triggering criteria and exceptional operational conditions during years three and four in the mission. This second catalog is an official product of the Fermi GBM science team, and the data files containing the complete results are available from the High-Energy Astrophysics Science Archive Research Center.

• Extending the Search for Muon Neutrinos Coincident with Gamma-Ray Bursts in IceCube Data (2017, methodology): “Information about each GRB is gathered from the Gammaray Coordinates Network54 and the Fermi-GBM database (Gruber et al. 2014; von Kienlin et al. 2014)and is compiled on a publicly accessible website55 (Aguilar 2011).”
• SEARCH FOR PROMPT NEUTRINO EMISSION FROM GAMMA-RAY BURSTS WITH ICECUBE (2014, methodology): “No GCN circular was produced for this burst; however, its observation was reported in the second Fermi GBM catalog (von Kienlin et al. 2014).”
• The Fourth Fermi-GBM Gamma-Ray Burst Catalog: A Decade of Data (2020, methodology): “…available at the Fermi Science Support Center: https: //fermi.gsfc.nasa.gov/ssc/data/p7rep/analysis/rmfit/ 13 GRBs with significant emission in at least one BGO detector above 300 keV were highlighted in the main GRB tables of the first two catalogs (Paciesas et al. 2012; von Kienlin et al. 2014).”
• THE FERMI GBM GAMMA-RAY BURST SPECTRAL CATALOG: FOUR YEARS OF DATA (2014, methodology): “For the purpose of this catalog, we choose a standard time binning of 1024 ms for bursts longer than 2 s in duration as defined by the burst T90 (Kouveliotou et al. 1993) presented in von Kienlin et al. (2014) and 64 ms for bursts of duration 2 s and shorter.”

• Fast radio bursts as synchrotron maser emission from decelerating relativistic blast waves (2019, background): “For the closest source at a distance of ∼ 30 Mpc the predicted MeV gamma-ray fluence from the most powerful bursts of energy ∼ 1044 − 1045 erg would be ∼ 10−8 − 10−9 erg cm−2, comparable or lower than the weakest GRB (e.g. von Kienlin et al. 2014).”
