In this catalog we present the updated set of spectral analyses of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) detected by the Fermi Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor during its first four years of operation. It contains two types of spectra, time-integrated spectral fits and spectral fits at the brightest time bin, from 943 triggered GRBs. Four different spectral models were fitted to the data, resulting in a compendium of more than 7500 spectra. The analysis was performed similarly but not identically to Goldstein et al. All 487 GRBs from the first two years have been re-fitted using the same methodology as that of the 456 GRBs in years three and four. We describe, in detail, our procedure and criteria for the analysis and present the results in the form of parameter distributions both for the observer-frame and rest-frame quantities. The data files containing the complete results are available from the High-Energy Astrophysics Science Archive Research Center.

THE SECOND FERMI GBM GAMMA-RAY BURST CATALOG: THE FIRST FOUR YEARS (2014, background): “The accompanying second spectral catalog (Gruber et al. 2014) provides information on the systematic spectral analysis of nearly all GRBs listed in the current catalog.”
An Ordinary Short Gamma-Ray Burst with Extraordinary Implications: Fermi-GBM Detection of GRB 170817A (2017, methodology): “As part of GBM operations, all triggered GRBs are analyzed following standardized procedures, and results from these analyses are released publicly in the form of catalog publications (Gruber et al. 2014; Bhat et al. 2016) and a searchable online catalog hosted by the HEASARC5.”
THE THIRD FERMI GBM GAMMA-RAY BURST CATALOG: THE FIRST SIX YEARS (2016, methodology): “The fluence measurements in the spectroscopy catalog (Gruber et al. 2014), which uses the 128-channel CSPEC or TTE data, are more reliable for such weak events.”
THE THIRD SWIFT BURST ALERT TELESCOPE GAMMA-RAY BURST CATALOG (2015, methodology): “However, observations from BATSE, Fermi, and Swift suggest that the value never exceeds 1 (Sakamoto et al. 2011b; Goldstein et al. 2013; Gruber et al. 2014; von Kienlin et al. 2014).”
Multi-messenger observations of a binary neutron star merger (2017, methodology): “Standard follow-up analyses (Goldstein et al. 2012; Paciesas et al. 2012; Gruber et al. 2014) of the Fermi-GBM trigger determined the burst duration to be T 2.0 0.590 = s, where T90 is defined as the interval over which 90% of the burst fluence is accumulated in the energy range of 50–300keV.”
SEARCH FOR PROMPT NEUTRINO EMISSION FROM GAMMA-RAY BURSTS WITH ICECUBE (2014, methodology): “Between 2008 April 5 and 2012 May 15, 592 GRBs were observed at declinations greater than −5° and reported via the GRB Coordinates Network51 and the Fermi GBM catalogs (Gruber et al. 2014; von Kienlin et al. 2014).”
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).”
PARTICLE ACCELERATION AND PLASMA DYNAMICS DURING MAGNETIC RECONNECTION IN THE MAGNETICALLY DOMINATED REGIME (2015, result): “Gruber et al. (2014) have shown a series of features in GRB prompt emission that are not consistent with the simple synchrotron shock model.”
