INTEGRAL Bright Source Catalog

Here we present a compilation of the brightest sources seen by INTEGRAL in the 23-40 keV and 40-80 keV energy bands derived from publicly available data. This is a "quick-look" data compilation rather than a rigorous analysis, and it does not comprise a complete flux limited sample. ISGRI analysis has been performed at the INTEGRAL Science Data Centre, SPI analysis was done at the NASA INTEGRAL Guest Observer Facility. Apparent flux variations of non-variable sources are based on short exposure times and/or far off-axis position.

INTEGRAL/SPI fluxes are based on the assumption that f[20-40keV] = 0.1783 ph/cm**2/sec corresponds to 1 Crab. Highest flux measurements require at least a 3 sigma significance. Lowest flux represents the lowest measured flux with at least 1 sigma significance. The average fluxes are weighted means of all measurements with at least 1 sigma significance (if not mentioned different).

In contrast to the SPI fluxes, the ISGRI flux values are based on single science window measurements (usually 2000 sec long) and only include those values with at least 1.5 sigma significance.

In ISGRI the Crab has a nominal count rate of 90 counts/sec (23 - 40 keV) and 66 counts/sec (40 - 80 keV), respectively (determined for revolution 102 on-axis staring observation). For more information on sources seen by ISGRI, see also Bird et al. 2006, ApJ, 636. 765.

You can download the catalog in fits format here and use it as an input catalog (GNRL-REFR-CAT) in your analysis (note that the flux values in this catalog are the same as in the original ISDC reference catalog).

Note! These are preliminary results, and are intended as only a rough guide to those pursuing in-depth followup analyses.
