SWIFT/BAT detections of AGN

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

We present preliminary results from the first 3 months of the Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) high Galactic latitude survey in the 14-195keV band.

Description

The survey reaches a flux of ~10^-11^erg/cm^2^/s and has ~2.7' (90% confidence) positional uncertainties for the faintest sources. This represents the most sensitive survey to date in this energy band.

These data confirm the conjectures that a high-energy-selected active galactic nucleus (AGN) sample would have very different properties from those selected in other bands and that it represents a "true" sample of the AGN population. We have identified 86% of the 66 high-latitude sources. Twelve are Galactic-type sources, and 44 can be identified with previously known AGNs.
