Abstract

The Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) detects gamma-rays in the energy range 8 keV - 40 MeV. We developed a new background fitting process of these data, based on the motion of the satellite. Here we summarize this method, called Direction Dependent Background Fitting (DDBF), regarding the GBM triggered catalog. We also give some preliminary results and compare the duration parameters with the 2-years Fermi Burst Catalog.
