- Description:
- The Swift Active galactic nucleus (AGN) and Cluster Survey (SACS) uses 125 deg<sup>2</sup> of Swift X-ray Telescope (XRT) serendipitous fields with variable depths surrounding gamma-ray bursts to provide a medium depth (4 x 10<sup>-15</sup> erg cm<sup>-2</sup> s<sup>-1</sup>) and medium area survey filling the gap between deep, narrow Chandra/XMM-Newton surveys and wide, shallow ROSAT surveys. In the reference paper, a catalog of 22,563 point sources and 442 extended sources, and the number counts of the AGN and galaxy cluster populations are presented. SACS provides excellent constraints on the AGN number counts at the bright end with negligible uncertainties due to cosmic variance, and these constraints are consistent with previous measurements. The authors use Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) mid-infrared(MIR) colors to classify the sources. For AGNs, they can roughly separate the point sources into MIR-red and MIR-blue AGNs, finding roughly equal numbers of each type in the soft X-ray band (0.5-2.0 keV), but fewer MIR-blue sources in the hard X-ray band (2-8 keV). The cluster number counts, with 5% uncertainties from cosmic variance, are also consistent with previous surveys but span a much larger continuous flux range. Deep optical or IR followup observations of this cluster sample will significantly increase the number of higher redshift (z > 0.5) X-ray-selected clusters. This HEASARC table contains the list of 10,060 Swift XRT point sources which were detected in the hard X-ray band image (2-10 keV) using wavdetect with a false positive threshold of 10<sup>-6</sup> (contained in Table 3 of the reference paper). The authors consider these sources to be AGN candidates. This table was created by the HEASARC in June 2015 based on an electronic version of Table 3 of the reference paper, the list of Swift XRT point sources detected in the hard X-ray (2-10 keV) band, which was obtained from the ApJS web site.

This HEASARC table contains the list of 442 Swift XRT extended sources which were detected in the soft X-ray band image (0.5-2 keV) and contained in Table 4 of the reference paper. The authors defined the extended source catalog as those sources with S/N >= 4 and a minimum net photon count of 20 that are more than 3 sigma from the mean size of point sources for both their off-axis angle and S/N. The authors consider these extended sources to be candidate clusters of galaxies.

- Title:
- Swift BAT Instrument Log
- Short Name:
- SwiftBAT
- Date:
- 10 May 2024
- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- The BAT can operate several configuration modes simultaneously. Each of the simultaneous modes is listed in separate records within this table. For a given time interval, there are several records (partially overlapping in time), each describing a single configuration/mode. The BAT modes collect data for the entire FOV but also have the capability to record rates (tag mask rate) for up to a few specific sky positions (typically 3) that correspond to a pre-assigned target ID. It is possible that at least two or more of these positions do not coincide with the BAT or NFI pointing position and therefore the target ID does necessarily coincide with Target_ID of the BAT or NFI pointing position. This table records for the position (RA and Dec) and Target_ID parameters the correct values associated to each of the mask tag data. This database table is generated at the Swift processing site. During operation, it is updated on daily basis. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

- Title:
- Swift-BAT 105-Month All-Sky Hard X-Ray Survey
- Short Name:
- SWBAT105M
- Date:
- 10 May 2024
- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- The catalog includes hard X-ray sources detected in the first 105-months of observations with the Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) coded-mask imager on board the Swift observatory. The 105-month Swift-BAT survey is a uniform hard X-ray all-sky survey with a sensitivity of 8.40x10<sup>-12</sup>erg/s/cm<sup>2</sup> over 90% of the sky and 7.24x10<sup>-12</sup>erg/s/cm<sup>2</sup> over 50% of the sky in the 14-195 keV band. The Swift-BAT 105-month catalog provides 1632 (422 new detections) hard X-ray sources in the 14-195 keV band above the 4.8 sigma significance level. Adding to the previously known hard X-ray sources, 34% (144/422) of the new detections are identified as Seyfert active galactic nuclei (AGNs) in nearby galaxies (z<0.2). The majority of the remaining identified sources are X-ray binaries (7%, 31) and blazars/BL Lac objects (10%, 43). As part of this new edition of the Swift-BAT catalog, the authors release eight-channel spectra and monthly sampled light curves for each object in the online journal and at the <a href="https://swift.gsfc.nasa.gov/results/bs105mon/">Swift-BAT 105-month website</a>. The data reduction, analysis, and catalog generation of the Swift-BAT 105-month survey (between 2004 December and 2013 August) are conducted following the same procedures as in the Swift-BAT 70-month survey (Baumgartner+ 2013, J/ApJS/207/19). The catalog includes 1632 hard X-ray sources detected across the entire sky. Of these 1632 sources, 422 are new detections with respect to the 70-month catalog, and 320 are reported as hard X-ray sources for the first time. The Swift-BAT 105-month survey catalog contains 947 non-beamed AGNs detected in the hard X-ray band. The authors inspected soft X-ray images provided by Swift-XRT (3-10keV), Chandra (2-10keV), ASCA (2-10keV), and XMM-Newton (4-10keV) for the newly detected sources when available using 15 arcmin of matching radius. See section 2.1 of the paper for further explanations. This table was created by the HEASARC in March 2020 based upon the <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/ApJS/235/4">CDS Catalog J/ApJS/235/4</a> file table3.dat.

- Title:
- Swift BAT 100-Month Supergiant Fast X-Ray Transient Catalog
- Short Name:
- SWBATSFXT
- Date:
- 10 May 2024
- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- Supergiant Fast X-ray Transients (SFXTs) are High Mass X-ray Binaries (HMXBs) that are defined by their hard X-ray flaring behavior. During such flares they reach peak luminosities of 10<sup>36</sup> - 10<sup>37</sup> erg/s for a few hours (in the hard X-ray), i.e., much shorter timescales than those characterizing Be/X-ray binaries. The authors have investigated the characteristics of bright flares (detections in excess of 5 sigma) for a sample of SFXTs and their relation to the orbital phase. They have retrieved all Swift/BAT Transient Monitor light curves, and collected all detections in excess of 5 sigma from both daily- and orbital-averaged light curves in the time range from 2005 February 12 to 2013 May 31 (MJD 53413 - 56443). The authors also considered all on-board detections as recorded in the same time span and selected those within 4 arcminutes of each source in their sample and in excess of 5 sigma. This table contains the catalog of over a thousand Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) flares from 11 SFXTs, down to 15-150 keV fluxes of ~6 x 10<sup>-10</sup>erg/cm<sup>2</sup>/s (daily timescale) and ~1.5 x 10<sup>-9</sup>erg/cm<sup>2</sup>/s (orbital timescale, averaging ~800s) and spanning 100 months. The great majority of these flares are unpublished. This population is characterized by short (a few hundred seconds) and relatively bright (in excess of 100 milliCrab, 15-50 keV) events. In the hard X-ray, these flares last in general much less than a day. Clustering of hard X-ray flares can be used to indirectly measure the length of an outburst, even when the low-level emission is not detected. In their paper, the authors construct the distributions of flares, of their significance (in terms of sigma) and their flux as a function of orbital phase, to infer the properties of these binary systems. In particular, they observe a trend of clustering of flares at some phases as P_orb increases, as consistent with a progression from tight, circular or mildly eccentric orbits at short periods, to wider and more eccentric orbits at longer orbital periods. Finally, the authors estimate the expected number of flares for a given source for their limiting flux and provide the recipe for calculating them for the limiting flux of future hard X-ray observatories. The BAT observes 88% of the sky daily, on average, so it is ideally suited to detect flaring in hard X-ray sources. Since 2005-02-12, the BAT Transient Monitor (Krimm et al. 2013, ApJS, 209, 14) has been providing near real-time light curves in the 15-50 keV energy range of more than 900 sources with a mean variance for one-day mosaics of 5.3 milliCrab. Several flares from SFXTs are regularly caught every year by the BAT Transient Monitor (BATTM). The catalog contains a total of 1117 flares from 11 SFXT sources (the only other confirmed SFXT, IGR J11215-5952, never triggered the BAT: see Section 2.2 of the reference paper for more information about this source). They are divided into 46 BAT triggers (bat_subsample_flag = 'T', 43 in outbursts), 126 daily-averaged BATTM light curves (bat_subsample_flag = 'D'), 267 orbital-averaged BATTM light curves (bat_subsample_flag = 'O'), and 678 on-board detections (bat_subsample_flag = 'B'). For each flare, the time of the occurrence, duration, flux, and significance are reported. Given the cut in sigma applied to the available BATTM and on-board detections, this catalog is a flux-limited sample of flares. Assuming a Crab-like spectrum (power-law of photon index 2.15), 5 sigma detections for one day and an average orbit typically correspond to fluxes of 5.98 x 10<sup>-10</sup> and 1.46 x 10<sup>-9</sup> erg cm<sup>-2</sup> s<sup>-1</sup>, respectively, in the 15-150 keV band (or 3.38 x 10<sup>-10</sup> and 8.24 x 10<sup>-10</sup> erg cm<sup>-2</sup> s<sup>-1</sup> in the 15-50 keV band). This table was created by the HEASARC in August 2015 based on the union of <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/A+A/562/A2">CDS Catalog J/A+A/562/A2</a> files sample.dat (the properties of the confirmed SFXTs) and table4.dat (the catalog of the 1117 flares detected by the Swift BAT from 11 of the 12 confirmed SFXTs).

- Swift BAT 60-Month Survey of Active Galactic Nuclei Catalog
- Short Name:
- SWBATAGN60
- Date:
- 10 May 2024
- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- Surveys above 10 keV represent one of the best resources to provide an unbiased census of the population of active galactic nuclei (AGNs). The authors present the results of 60 months of observation from 2005 March to 2010 March of the hard X-ray sky with the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT). In this time frame, BAT detected (in the 15 - 55 keV band) 720 sources with a signal-to-noise ratio of >= 5 sigma in an all-sky survey, of which 428 are associated with AGNs, most of which are nearby. This sample has negligible incompleteness and statistics which are a factor of ~ 2 larger over similarly complete sets of AGNs. The sample contains (at least) 15 bona fide Compton-thick AGNs and 3 likely candidates. Compton-thick AGNs represent ~ 5% of AGN samples detected above 15 keV. The authors use the BAT data set to refine the determination of the log N - log S of AGNs which is extremely important, now that NuSTAR prepares for launch, toward assessing the AGN contribution to the cosmic X-ray background. The authors show that the log N - log S of AGNs selected above 10 keV is now established to ~ 10% precision. They derive the luminosity function of Compton-thick AGNs and measure a space density of 7.9 (+4.1, -2.9) x 10<sup>-5</sup> Mpc<sup>-3</sup> for objects with a de-absorbed luminosity larger than 2 x 10<sup>42</sup> erg s<sup>-1</sup>. As the BAT AGNs are all mostly local, they allow us to investigate the spatial distribution of AGNs in the nearby universe regardless of absorption. The authors find concentrations of AGNs that coincide spatially with the largest congregations of matter in the local (<= 85 Mpc) universe. There is some evidence that the fraction of Seyfert 2 objects is larger than average in the direction of these dense regions. This table was created by the HEASARC in May 2012, based on an electronic version of Table 1 from the referenced paper, which was obtained from the ApJ website.

- Title:
- Swift BAT Transient Monitoring Catalog
- Short Name:
- SWBATMONTR
- Date:
- 10 May 2024
- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- The SWBATMONTR database table records high-level information of the lightcurves from the sources monitored with the Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) on board of Swift. The Swift/BAT Monitoring Program is aimed at (1) the discovery of new transient X-ray sources, (2) the detection of outbursts or other changes in the flux of known X-ray sources, and (3) the generation of lightcurves of more than 1000 sources spanning the entire Swift lifetime. Swift is a NASA mission with international participation dedicated to the gamma-ray burst study. It carries three instruments. The BAT is the large field of view instrument and operates in the 10-300 keV energy band; and two narrow field instruments, XRT and UVOT, that operate in the X-ray and UV/optical regime, respectively. The BAT monitoring the sky in the field of view and provides alerts when detecting a burst of flux coming from a source in the field of view. The BAT monitoring lightcurves are generated by the BAT team over the course of the Swift mission. The HEASARC ingests these data in the archive and generates this database table by collecting high-level information from the data. The lightcurves are renamed to use a consistent naming convention, and the FITS header is updated by adding standard FITS keywords. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .
