- 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.

- Description:
- The INTEGRAL observatory (Winkler et al. 2003, A&A, 411, L1) was launched in October 2002. The spectrograph SPI (Vedrenne et al. 2003, A&A, 411, L63) consists of 19 Germanium detectors and is capable of imaging in the 20 - 8000 keV band because of a coded mask. Part of the core program of the INTEGRAL mission is a study of the Galactic Centre, the Galactic Centre Deep Exposure (GCDE).<p> The SPI significance map is based on the public GCDE data and uses data in the 20 - 40 keV energy range. The analysis of the data was done using the SPIROS software (Skinner & Connell 2003, A&A, 411, L123). This software uses the 'Iterative Removal of Sources' technique in order to find the most significant sources. In the output significance map the sources found in this process are put on top of the residual map as points with a FWHM of 1 degree. <p> Current data respresent the combination of all public observations as of September 1, 2004. Provenance: INTEGRAL Science Data Center, Geneva, Switzerland. This is a service of NASA HEASARC.

- 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.

- Description:
- We present the results of an all-sky survey, performed with data acquired by the Imager on-Board the INTEGRAL Satellite (IBIS) telescope on board the INTErnational Gamma-Ray Astrophysics Laboratory (INTEGRAL) observatory over 11 years of operation, at energies above 100 keV. The catalogue of detected sources includes 132 objects. The statistical sample detected on the time-averaged 100-150 keV map at a significance above 5{sigma} contains 88 sources: 28 active galactic nuclei (AGNs), 38 low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs), 10 high-mass X-ray binaries (HMXBs) and 12 rotation-powered young X-ray pulsars. The catalogue also includes 15 persistent sources, which were registered at significance 4{sigma}<=S/N<5{sigma}, where S/N is the signal-to-noise ratio, but at the same time were firmly detected (>=12{sigma}) in the lower 17-60keV energy band. All registered sources are known X-ray emitters, which means that the catalogue has 100 percent purity in this respect. Additionally, 29 catalogued sources were detected significantly in different time slices of the survey. In the context of the survey, we present a hardness ratio for Galactic and extragalactic sources, an LMXB longitudinal asymmetry and a number-flux relation for non-blazar AGNs. At higher energies, in the 150-300keV energy band, 25 sources have been detected with S/N>=5{sigma}, including seven AGNs, 13 LMXBs, three HMXBs and two rotation-powered pulsars. Among LMXBs and HMXBs, we identified 12 black hole candidates (BHCs) and four neutron star (NS) binaries.

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- Accurate flux densities, precise positions of unresolved sources, and structures of resolved sources have been derived from full-beam and interferometric observations of intense sources at 1400 MHz. Results are given for 424 sources in the area of sky -5{deg}<{delta}<+70{deg}, |b|>5 whose 1400-MHz integrated flux densities S_1400_ exceed 1.70Jy [1 Jy (flux unit) = 10^-26^w/m^2^/Hz]. The 234 sources with S_1400_>=2.00Jy, equivalent diameters <10arcmin, and |b|>20{deg} form a 98+/-2% complete sample comparable in number to the 178-MHz Revised Third Cambridge Catalogue in this 4.30-sr area of sky, but selected at 1400MHz. This sample is suitable for statistical studies of the properties of extragalactic radio sources. To facilitate its use, and that of other samples which may be drawn from these data, references to other studies of the positions, fine and extended structure, polarization, and variability of the sources have been assembled in the principal table of this paper (Table 2). A comparison is made with other 1400-MHz flux-density data (Sec. 3), and the spectral content of the complete sample is discussed (Sec. 4).

- Ionized nebulae in M31
- Short Name:

- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- Deep CCD imagery in H{alpha} and [SII] is presented of the major spiral arms of M31 with particular attention given to the data reduction and the analysis of the [SII]/H{alpha} flux ratios. A diffuse ionized gas noted in the images is analyzed which shows higher [SII]/H{alpha} ratios, and 967 discrete nebulae are listed with gray-scale images, finding charts, and absolute fluxes. The differential H-alpha luminosity function is found to have a slope of -0.95 for brighter objects and flattens out below a critical level. The curve is shown to correspond to the point at which single-star ionization accounts for the H{alpha} luminosities and is consistent with previous observations. The catalog of objects and fluxes is the largest existing sample of this type, and the unresolved objects in the sample are considered to be planetary nebulae.

- Short Name:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- The INT/WFC Photometric H-Alpha Survey of the Northern Galactic Plane (IPHAS) is a 1860 deg^2^ imaging survey of the Northern Milky Way at red visible wavelengths. It covers Galactic latitudes |b|<5{deg} and longitudes l=30 to 215{deg} in the broad-band r, i and narrow-band H-alpha filters using the Wide Field Camera (WFC) on the 2.5-m Isaac Newton Telescope (INT) in La Palma. IPHAS Data Release 2 (DR2) is the first quality-controlled and globally calibrated source catalogue derived from the survey, providing single-epoch photometry for 219 million unique sources across 92% of the footprint. The observations were carried out between 2003 and 2012 at a median seeing of 1.1 arcsec (sampled at 0.33 arcsec/pixel) and to a mean 5-sigma depth of 21.2 (r), 20.0 (i) and 20.3 (H-alpha). The photometric calibration is in the Vega magnitude system and carries an external precision of 0.03mag (root-mean-square error). The catalogue includes all the sources which have been detected at a signal-to-noise ratio of 5 or better in at least one band. Many applications will require a combination of quality criteria to be applied to avoid faint stars or confused sources. The choice of quality criteria tensions completeness against reliability, and hence depends on the requirements of a project. To aid users, the data release paper (arXiv:1406.4862) recommends two sets of quality criteria, named "a10" and "a10point", which should satisfy most projects. As a minimum, the "a10" criteria select objects which have been detected at the minimum level of 10-sigma in all bands, without being saturated. Additional constraints are provided by the "a10point" criteria, which require objects to be point sources free of blending, unaffected by nearby bright stars, as well as being unsaturated >10-sigma detections in all bands. Sources in both categories are flagged in the catalogue using the boolean columns a10 and a10point. Imaging and auxiliary data are available from the project website (www.iphas.org).

- IPHAS new extended planetary nebulae release 1
- Short Name:
- J/MNRAS/443/3388
- Date:
- 21 Oct 2021
- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present the first results of our search for new, extended planetary nebulae (PNe) based on careful, systematic, visual scrutiny of the imaging data from the Isaac Newton Telescope Photometric Halpha Survey of the Northern Galactic plane (IPHAS). The newly uncovered PNe will help to improve the census of this important population of Galactic objects that serve as key windows into the late-stage evolution of low- to intermediate-mass stars. They will also facilitate study of the faint end of the ensemble Galactic PN luminosity function. The sensitivity and coverage of IPHAS allows PNe to be found in regions of greater extinction in the Galactic plane and/or those PNe in a more advanced evolutionary state and at larger distances compared to the general Galactic PN population. Using a set of newly revised optical diagnostic diagrams in combination with access to a powerful, new, multiwavelength imaging data base, we have identified 159 true, likely and possible PNe for this first catalogue release. The ability of IPHAS to unveil PNe at low Galactic latitudes and towards the Galactic Anticentre, compared to previous surveys, makes this survey an ideal tool to contribute to the improvement of our knowledge of the whole Galactic PN population.

- IPHAS symbiotic stars candidates
- Short Name:
- J/A+A/480/409
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- The study of symbiotic stars is essential to understand important aspects of stellar evolution in interacting binaries. Their observed population in the Galaxy is however poorly known, and is one to three orders of magnitudes smaller than the predicted population size. IPHAS, the Isaac Newton Telescope Photometric H{alpha} survey of the Northern Galactic plane, gives us the opportunity to make a systematic, complete search for symbiotic stars in a magnitude-limited volume, and discover a significant number of new systems. A method of selecting candidate symbiotic stars by combining IPHAS and near-IR (2MASS) colours is presented. It allows us to distinguish symbiotic binaries from normal stars and most of the other types of H{alpha} emission line stars in the Galaxy. The only exception are T Tauri stars, which can however be recognized because of their concentration in star forming regions.

- Description:
- Between 1996 July and 2002 April, one or more spacecraft of the interplanetary network detected 786 cosmic gamma-ray bursts that were also detected by the Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor and/or Wide-Field X-Ray Camera experiments aboard the BeppoSAX spacecraft. During this period, the network consisted of up to six spacecraft, and using triangulation, the localizations of 475 bursts were obtained. We present the localization data for these events.
