INTIBISVHD - INTEGRAL IBIS Hard X-Ray Survey Above 100 keV Source Catalog

Archive

Overview

This table contains results from an all-sky survey, performed 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, using data acquired at energies above 100 keV. The catalog 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 catalog also includes 15 persistent sources, which were registered at a 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 17-60 keV energy band. All registered sources are known X-ray emitters, which means that the catalog has 100% purity in this respect. Additionally, 29 catalogued sources were detected significantly in different time slices of the survey. In the reference paper presenting the results of this survey, the authors 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 150-300 keV 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, the authors identified 12 black hole candidates (BHCs) and four neutron star (NS) binaries.

For this hard X-ray survey, the authors utilized all publicly available INTEGRAL data acquired by the IBIS telescope between 2002 December and 2014 January (INTEGRAL spacecraft revolutions 26 - 1377). The survey also contains private data from the M82 deep field (PI: Sazonov) and scanning observations of the Galactic Center (PI: Krivonos) and Puppis region (PI: Tsygankov). The survey sky coverage as a function of a 5-sigma limiting flux is shown in Fig. 2 of the reference paper. The peak sensitivity of the survey is about 2 mCrab (8 x 10-12 erg s-1 cm-2 in the 100-150 keV energy band). The survey covers ~10% of the sky down to a flux limit of 3.7 mCrab (1.5 x 10-11 erg s-1 cm-2) and 90% of the sky down to 25 mCrab (10-10 erg s-1 cm-2).

The catalog has been compiled from sources passed through detection conditions in the reference 100-150 keV energy band on time-average sky maps (Section 2.1 of the reference paper) and maps built over different time periods (Section 2.2 ibid.). For all 132 sources, the time-averaged fluxes are given, even for those sources which were not detected therein. For some variable sources and for sources which were only detected in certain time periods, the fluxes measured in the specified time intervals are also given. Thus, this catalog has 50 additional rows for such entries, giving it a total size of 182 rows.

Provenance

This table was created by the HEASARC in November 2016 based on the electronic version of Table 2 from the reference paper which was obtained from the CDS (their catalog J/MNRAS/448/3766 file table2.dat).

Parameters

Source_Number
A unique identification number for each hard X-ray source in the catalog in order of increasing J2000.0 RA. Some sources can have multiple entries corresponding to different time ranges, so that there are 50 more entries (182) than there are unique sources (132).

Name
The hard X-ray source name. In accordance with the authors' previous hard X-ray surveys (Krivonos et al. 2007, A&A, 475, 775; 2010, A&A, 519, A107; 2012, A&A, 545, A27), common names are given for sources whose nature was known before their detection by INTEGRAL. Sources discovered by INTEGRAL, or whose nature was established thanks to INTEGRAL observations, are named 'IGR'.

RA
The Right Ascension of the X-ray source in the selected equinox. This was given in J2000.0 coordinates to a precision of 0.01 degrees in the original table. The positional accuracy of sources detected by IBIS depends on the source significance (Gros et al. 2003, A&A, 411, L179). The estimated 68% confidence intervals for sources detected at 5 - 6, 10 and >20 sigma are 2.1, 1.5 and <0.8 arcminutes, respectively (Krivonos et al. 2007, A&A, 475, 775).

Dec
The Declination of the X-ray source in the selected equinox. This was given in J2000.0 coordinates to a precision of 0.01 degrees in the original table. The positional accuracy of sources detected by IBIS depends on the source significance (Gros et al. 2003, A&A, 411, L179). The estimated 68% confidence intervals for sources detected at 5 - 6, 10 and >20 sigma are 2.1, 1.5 and <0.8 arcminutes, respectively (Krivonos et al. 2007, A&A, 475, 775).

LII
The Galactic Longitude of the X-ray source.

BII
The Galactic Latitude of the X-ray source.

Flux_Limit
This parameter is set to '<' if the quoted flux is the 2-sigma upper limit rather than a detection.

Flux
The time-averaged source flux in the 100-150 keV energy band over the time range specified by the integral_orbit_min and integral_orbit_max parameter values. The flux for cases with S/N < 2 sigma (entries for which flux_limit = '<') is shown as a 2-sigma upper limit. The flux is expressed in units of erg cm-2 s-1.

Flux_Error
The 1-sigma uncertainty in the source flux in the 100-150 keV energy band, expressed in units of erg cm-2 s-1.

SNR
The detection significance of the source in the 100-150 keV energy band. This is given only for detections which do not exceed 10 sigma.

Source_Type
The general astrophysical type of the object, as follows:

    LMXB = low- mass X-ray binary
    HMXB = high-mass X-ray binary
    AGN  = active galactic nucleus
    SNR  = supernova remnant
    PSR  = isolated pulsar or PWN
    SGR  = soft gamma repeater
A question mark after the specified source type value indicates that the specified type is not firmly determined and should be confirmed.

INTEGRAL_Orbit_Min
The INTEGRAL orbital range minimum value during which the corresponding flux has been measured. If this column is set to 26 and the corresponding integral_orbit_max value is set to 1377, the corresponding flux has been determined from the whole time span of the survey. INTEGRAL orbital revolutions can be roughly converted into Modified Julian Date (MJD) using the following empirical expression:

     MJD = 55551.61223380 + (N - 1000.0)/0.33404581,
where N is the INTEGRAL spacecraft orbital revolution number.

INTEGRAL_Orbit_Max
The INTEGRAL orbital range maximum value during which the corresponding flux has been measured. If this column is set to 1377 and the corresponding integral_orbit_min value is set to 26, the corresponding flux has been determined from the whole time span of the survey. INTEGRAL orbital revolutions can be roughly converted into Modified Julian Date (MJD) using the following empirical expression:

     MJD = 55551.61223380 + (N - 1000.0)/0.33404581,
where N is the INTEGRAL spacecraft orbital revolution number.

Notes
Notes concerning the source, e.g., additional information on the source type, alternative names and/or the likelihood of source confusion. Spatial confusion with a nearby source XXX is indicated by 'C{XXX}", where XXX is a name of the source that has been mostly detected at energies below 100 keV. The measured flux of sources which are spatially confused should be regarded with caution.

Class
The HEASARC Browse object classification of the source, based on the value of the source_type parameter.
