THE FOURTH IBIS/ISGRI SOFT GAMMA-RAY SURVEY CATALOG

摘要

In this paper, we report on the fourth soft gamma-ray source catalog obtained with the IBIS gamma-ray imager onboard the INTEGRAL satellite. The scientific data set is based on more than 70 Ms of high-quality observationsperformed during the first five and a half years of the Core Program and public observations. Compared to previousIBIS surveys, this catalog includes a substantially increased coverage of extragalactic fields, and comprises morethan 700 high-energy sources detected in the energy range 17-100 keV, including both transients and faint persistentobjects that can only be revealed with longer exposure times. A comparison is provided with the latest Swift/BATsurvey results.
