Abstract:
We present the results of a 2-10keV BeppoSAX survey based on 140 high
galactic latitude MECS fields, 12 of which are deep exposures of
``blank'' parts of the sky. The limiting sensitivity is
5x10-14erg/cm2/s where about 25% of the Cosmic X-ray Background
(CXB) is resolved into discrete sources. The logN-logS function, built
with a statistically complete sample of 177 sources, is steep and in
good agreement with the counts derived from ASCA surveys.
Description:
File table contains the name of the sources, their coordinates
(J2000.0) and the measured flux detected by the BeppoSAX MECS
instrument in the 2-10 keV energy band. Additional information (other
designation, class and redshift) if available in literature is also
provided.

Note (1): A question mark indicates that the distance between the BeppoSAX
and the catalogue position is between 1.2 and 2 arcmins and therefore
the association is likely but not certain.
Note (2): BeppoSAX positions (accuracy about 30arcsec)
