Abstract:
We describe the INTEGRAL reference catalog which classifies previously
known bright X-ray and gamma-ray sources before the launch of
INTEGRAL. These sources are, or have been at least once, brighter than
∼1mCrab above 3keV, and are expected to be detected by INTEGRAL. This
catalog is being used in the INTEGRAL Quick Look Analysis to discover
new sources or significantly variable sources. We compiled several
published X-ray and gamma-ray catalogs, and surveyed recent
publications for new sources. Consequently, there are 1122 sources in
our INTEGRAL reference catalog. In addition to the source positions,
we show an approximate spectral model and expected flux for each
source, based on which we derive expected INTEGRAL counting rates.
Assuming the default instrument performances and at least ∼105s
exposure time for any part of the sky, we expect that INTEGRAL will
detect at least ∼700 sources below 10keV and ∼400 sources above 20keV
over the mission life.
