BeppoSAX Wide Field Camera X-Ray Source Catalog
Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)
This table contains the catalog of X-ray sources detected by the two Wide Field Cameras (WFCs) in complete observations on board BeppoSAX during its 6 years of operational lifetime, i.e., between April 1996 and April 2002.
Description
The BeppoSAX WFCs were coded mask instruments sensitive in the 2 - 28 keV energy band with a 40 x 40 square degree fields of view, pointing in opposite directions and perpendicularly to the BeppoSAX Narrow Field Instruments (NFI).
The WFCs were usually operated simultaneously to NFI observations, each lasting up to several days. The WFCs observed thus the entire sky several times with a typical sensitivity of 2 to 10 mCrab. A systematic analysis of all WFC observations in the BeppoSAX archive has been carried out using the latest post-mission release of the WFC analysis software and calibrations.

The catalog includes 253 distinct sources, obtained from a total sample of 8253 WFC detections. This table was created by the HEASARC in November 2007 based on <a href="cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/A+A/472/705">CDS catalog J/A+A/472/705</a> file table3.dat.
