Scientific paper

The Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) monitors the entire unocculted sky for transient activity in the energy range from 8 keV to 40 MeV. In its first year of operation GBM's on-board trigger detected 253 gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), of which 9 were confidently detected by the LAT (a catalog of LAT upper limits for non-detected GRBs is also available). In addition, GBM triggered on 12 terrestrial gamma flashes and 168 soft gamma repeater events from four different magnetar candidates. GBM's continuous data collection over the entire sky allows continual hard X-ray monitoring of both steady and variable sources using Earth occultation and pulsed source analysis techniques. Catalogs of the GBM-detected source categories will be summarized and, if time permits, compared with relevant catalogs from other instruments such as CGRO/BATSE.
