BeppoSAX Wide Field Camera Unbiased X-Ray Source Catalog

Although the majority of the analyses performed on BeppoSAX WFC data concentrated on the detection of transient sources, the authors have now applied the same techniques developed for the INTEGRAL/IBIS survey so as to produce a similar analysis of the BeppoSAX WFC data.

This work represents the first unbiased source list compilation produced from the overall WFC data set which is optimized for faint persistent source detection. This approach recovered 182 more sources compared to the previous WFC catalog reported in Verrecchia et al. (2007, A&A, 472, 705; the HEASARC SAXWFCCAT table). The present catalog contains 404 sources detected between 3 and 17 keV, 10 of which are yet to be seen by the new generation of telescopes.
