Swift-BAT 150-month hard X-ray catalog ctps
Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)
We present a comprehensive catalog of 251 potential counterparts for 250 unassociated hard X-ray sources detected in the Swift- Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) 150-month hard X-ray survey.
Description
Over 150 months of observation, BAT has detected 2339 sources in the 15-150keV range. Among these, 344 do not have a low-energy counterpart.
Our study focuses on the analysis of soft X-ray observations (i.e., at energies <10keV) spatially overlapping with these Swift-BAT new hard X-ray sources. Such observations were taken with Chandra, Swift-XRT, eROSITA, and XMM-Newton. Within the sample of 251 potential counterparts, 94 (37%) are identified as AGN and 58 (23%) as galaxies.

The rest of the 99 (40%) sources include pulsars, cataclysmic variables and unclassified soft X-ray (0.5-10keV) counterparts. Redshift data is available for 139 out of the 251 sources, and its distribution is in close agreement with the redshift distribution of previous BAT catalogs. We also present the results of a small optical spectroscopy campaign of 9 (out of 58) galaxies.
The majority of these turned out to be Seyfert 2 galaxies at a redshift slightly larger than the median of the BAT AGN sample.
