Abstract

This dataset contains the simulation data required to run and reproduce the results of the grb-COMCUBE-simu repository, developed in the context of the ESA COMCUBE-S project. The data includes: Background simulations — condensed background files for different satellite geometries and energy cuts, computed using MEGAlib and the LEO background model mu100 / effective area simulations — condensed modulation factor and effective area files for different satellite geometries and sky pointings GRB catalogues — synthetic GRB catalogue, the Fermi GBM 10-year catalogue and associated rest-frame properties (redshift, isotropic energy, peak luminosity) GBM light curves — background-subtracted light curves for GBM GRBs, used as templates for synthetic catalogue generation Instrument geometries — mass model files describing the COMCUBE-S satellite geometries used in the MEGAlib simulations MEGAlib configuration files — revan and mimrec configuration files used for event reconstruction and analysis Example files — example parameter files for running GRB, background, and mu100 simulations All condensed files are specific to the energy cuts applied during their creation. See the repository README for details on file naming conventions and usage.
