INTEGRAL ISGRI 4-Year Source Catalog

Metadata Updated: September 19, 2025

In its first 4 years of observing the sky above 20 keV, the INTEGRAL Soft Gamma-ray Imager (ISGRI) detected ~ 500 sources, around half of which were new or unknown at these energies. Follow-up observations at other wavelengths revealed that some of these sources feature unusually large column densities, long pulsations, and other interesting characteristics. The authors investigated where new and previously-known sources detected by ISGRI fit in the parameter space of high-energy objects, and they used the parameters to test correlations expected from theoretical predictions. For example, the influence of the local absorbing matter on periodic modulations was studied for Galactic High-Mass X-ray Binaries (HMXBs) with OB supergiant and Be companions. In their paper, they examined the spatial distribution of different types of sources in the Milky Way, using various projections of the Galactic plane, in order to highlight signatures of stellar evolution and to speculate on the origin of the group of sources whose classifications were still uncertain. This table contains all 499 sources detected by ISGRI listed in the reference paper, with the exception of the source 'PSR B1841-04' which was removed from the electronic version of the table by the CDS, after discussion with the author. The table contains the most precise coordinates and error radii available in the literature. Classifications are provided for all sources. When available, the published photoelectric absorption in the X-rays, distances/redshifts, and pulsation and orbital periods are also listed. This table was created by the HEASARC in April 2011 based on <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/A+A/467/585">CDS catalog J/A+A/467/585</a> file table1.dat.
