- Description:
- We report the first high-energy survey catalog obtained with the IBIS gamma-ray imager on board INTEGRAL. The analysis has been performed on the first-year Core Program ISGRI data comprising both Galactic Plane Scan and Galactic Centre Deep Exposure pointings for a total exposure time exceeding 5Ms. This initial survey has revealed the presence of ~120 sources detected with the unprecedented sensitivity of ~1mCrab in the energy range 20-100keV. Each source is located to an accuracy between 1' and 3', depending on its brightness. The outstanding IBIS capability to locate soft {gamma}-ray emitters has allowed us to identify most of the detected sources with already known Galactic X-ray binary systems, while 28 of the objects are of unknown nature.

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present results of an all-sky hard X-ray survey based on almost four years of observations with the IBIS telescope onboard the INTEGRAL observatory. The dead time-corrected exposure of the survey is about 33Ms. Approximately 12% and 80% of the sky has been covered to limiting fluxes lower than 1 and 5mCrab, respectively. Our catalog of detected sources includes 403 objects, 316 of which exceed a 5{sigma} detection threshold on the time-averaged map of the sky, and the rest were detected in various subsamples of exposures.

- Title:
- INTEGRAL Bright Source Catalog
- Short Name:
- INTEGRAL/BSC
- Date:
- 10 May 2024
- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- The INTEGRAL Bright Source Catalog is based on publicly available data from the two main instruments (IBIS and SPI) on board INTEGRAL (see Winkler et al. 2003, A&A, 411, L1 for a description of the INTEGRAL spacecraft and instrument packages). INTEGRAL began collecting data in October 2002. This catalog will be regularly updated as data become public (~14 months after they are obtained). The Bright Source Catalog is a collaborative effort between the INTEGRAL Science Data Center (ISDC) in Switzerland and the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) INTEGRAL Guest Observer Facility (GOF). The results presented here are a result of a semi-automated analysis and they should be considered as approximate: they are intended to serve as a guideline to those interested in pursuing more detailed follow-up analyses. The data from the imager ISGRI (Lebrun et al. 2003, A&A, 411, L141) have been analyzed at the INTEGRAL Science Data Centre (ISDC), while the SPI (Vedrenne et al. 2003, A&A, 411, L63) data analysis was performed at GSFC as a service of the INTEGRAL GOF. This database table was first created in September 2004. It is based on the online web page maintained by the INTEGRAL GOF at the URL <a href="http://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/integral/INTEGRAL_bright_sources.html">http://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/integral/INTEGRAL_bright_sources.html</a> and is updated on a weekly basis whenever the web page is updated. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We report on the first census of INTEGRAL IBIS detections (>~4{sigma} significance) above 100keV based on the Core Program and public open-time observations up to 2005 April. There are 49 sources detected in the 100-150keV band, of which 14 are also seen in the 150-300keV range. The low-energy sample is dominated by X-ray binary systems of both low and high mass but also includes 10 active galaxies.

- Title:
- INTEGRAL/IBIS 9-year Galactic hard X-ray survey
- Short Name:
- J/A+A/545/A27
- Date:
- 21 Oct 2021
- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present sky images, sensitivity maps, and catalogs of detected sources in the three energy bands 17-60, 17-35, and 35-80keV in the Galactic plane at |b|<17.5 degrees. The total number of sources in the reference 17-60keV band includes 402 objects exceeding a 4.7{sigma} detection threshold on the nine-year time-averaged map. Among the identified sources with known and tentatively identified natures, 253 are Galactic objects (108 low-mass X-ray binaries, 82 high-mass X-ray binaries, 36 cataclysmic variables, and 27 are of other types), and 115 are extragalactic objects, including 112 active galactic nuclei (AGNs) and 3 galaxy clusters. The sample of Galactic sources with S/N>4.7 sigma has an identification completeness of ~92%, which is valuable for population studies. Since the survey is based on the nine-year sky maps, it is optimized for persistent sources and may be biased against finding transients.

- INTEGRAL reference catalog
- Short Name:

- CDS
- Description:
- We describe the INTEGRAL reference catalog which classifies previously known bright X-ray and gamma-ray sources before the launch of INTEGRAL. These sources are, or have been at least once, brighter than ~1mCrab above 3keV, and are expected to be detected by INTEGRAL. This catalog is being used in the INTEGRAL Quick Look Analysis to discover new sources or significantly variable sources. We compiled several published X-ray and gamma-ray catalogs, and surveyed recent publications for new sources. Consequently, there are 1122 sources in our INTEGRAL reference catalog. In addition to the source positions, we show an approximate spectral model and expected flux for each source, based on which we derive expected INTEGRAL counting rates. Assuming the default instrument performances and at least ~10^5^s exposure time for any part of the sky, we expect that INTEGRAL will detect at least ~700 sources below 10keV and ~400 sources above 20keV over the mission life.

- Description:
- The International Gamma-Ray Astrophysics Laboratory (INTEGRAL) continues to successfully work in orbit after its launch in 2002. The mission provides the deepest ever survey of hard X-ray sources throughout the Galaxy at energies above 20keV. We report on a catalogue of new hard X-ray source candidates based on the latest sky maps comprising 14yr of data acquired with the IBIS telescope onboard INTEGRAL in the Galactic Plane (|b|<17.5{deg}). The current catalogue includes in total 72 hard X-ray sources detected at S/N>4.7{sigma} and not known to previous INTEGRAL surveys. Among them, 31 objects have also been detected in the on-going all-sky survey by the BAT telescope of the Swift observatory. For 26 sources on the list, we suggest possible identifications: 21 active galactic nuclei, two cataclysmic variables, two isolated pulsars or pulsar wind nebulae and one supernova remnant; 46 sources from the catalogue remain unclassified.

- Second IBIS/ISGRI soft gamma-ray survey catalog
- Short Name:
- J/ApJ/636/765
- Date:
- 21 Oct 2021
- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- In this paper we report the second soft gamma-ray source catalog obtained with the IBIS/ISGRI gamma-ray imager on board the INTEGRAL satellite. The scientific data set is based on more than 10Ms of high-quality observations performed during the first 2 years of Core Program and public IBIS/ISGRI observations, and covers 50% of the whole sky. The main aim of the first survey was to scan systematically, for the first time at energies above 20keV, the whole Galactic plane to achieve a limiting sensitivity of 1mCrab in the central radian. The target of the second year of the INTEGRAL mission lifetime was to expand as much as possible our knowledge of the soft gamma-ray sky, with the same limiting sensitivity, to at least 50% of the whole sky, mainly by including a substantial coverage of extragalactic fields. This catalog comprises more than 200 high-energy sources detected in the energy range 20-100keV, including new transients not active during the first year of operation, faint persistent objects revealed with longer exposure time, and several Galactic and extragalactic sources in sky regions not observed in the first survey. The mean position error for all the sources detected with significance above 10{sigma} is 40", enough to identify most of them with a known X-ray counterpart and to unveil the nature of most of the strongly absorbed ones, even though they are very difficult to detect in X-rays.

- Title:
- Sources detected by ISGRI
- Short Name:
- J/A+A/467/585
- Date:

- Publisher:

- Description:
- In its first 4 years of observing the sky above 20keV, INTEGRAL-ISGRI has detected 500 sources, around half of which are new or unknown at these energies. Follow-up observations at other wavelengths revealed that some of these sources feature unusually large column densities, long pulsations, and other interesting characteristics. We investigate where new and previously-known sources detected by ISGRI fit in the parameter space of high-energy objects, and we use the parameters to test correlations expected from theoretical predictions. For example, the influence of the local absorbing matter on periodic modulations is studied for Galactic High-Mass X-ray Binaries (HMXBs) with OB supergiant and Be companions. We examine the spatial distribution of different types of sources in the Milky Way using various projections of the Galactic plane, in order to highlight signatures of stellar evolution and to speculate on the origin of the group of sources whose classifications are still uncertain.
