In this paper, we consider Toeplitz operators defined on the Bergman space
\msbm=MTMIB$L_a^2 \left( {{\msbm C}_+ } \right)$
of the right half plane and obtain Schatten class characterization of these operators. We have shown that if the Toeplitz operators 𝕿φ on
\msbm=MTMIB$L_a^2 \left( {{\msbm C}_+ } \right)$
belongs to the Schatten class Sp, 1 ≤p < ∞, then
\msbm=MTMIB$\tilde \phi \in L^p \left( {{\msbm C}_+ ,d\nu } \right)$
, where
$\tilde \phi \left( w \right) = \left\langle {\phi b_{\bar w} ,b_{\bar w} } \right\rangle $w ∈ ℂ+ and
$b_{\bar w} (s) = {1 \over {\sqrt \pi }}{{1 + w} \over {1 + \bar w}}{{2 Rew} \over {\left( {s + w} \right)^2 }}$
. Here
$d\nu (w) = \left| {B(\bar w,w)} \right|d\mu (w)$
, where dμ (w) is the area measure on ℂ+ and
$B(\bar w,w) = \left( {b_{\bar w} (\bar w)} \right)^2 $
: Furthermore, we show that if φ ∈ Lp (ℂ+,dv), then
\msbm=MTMIB$\tilde \phi \in L^p ({\msbm C}_+ ,d\nu )$
and 𝕿φ ∈ Sp. We also use these results to obtain Schatten class characterizations of little Hankel operators and bounded operators defined on the Bergman space
\msbm=MTMIB$L_a^2 \left( {{\msbm C}_+ } \right)$
