TL;DR
This paper compares the BeppoSax WFC and INTEGRAL IBIS hard X-ray surveys by creating an unbiased source list from WFC data and analyzing correlations with IBIS sources.
Contribution
It presents the first unbiased source catalog from WFC data and correlates it with IBIS survey results, highlighting similarities and differences.
Findings
First unbiased WFC source list created
Correlation analysis between WFC and IBIS sources conducted
Insights into persistent and transient X-ray sources obtained
Abstract
During the operational life of BeppoSax, the Wide Field Camera observations covered almost the full sky at different epochs. The energy coverage, wide field of view and imaging capabilities share many commonalities with IBIS, the gamma-ray telescope onboard INTEGRAL satellite. We mosaicked all the available single pointing WFC observation images and then we searched the map for persistent and transient sources as has been done for the IBIS survey. This work represents the first unbiased source list compilation produced in this way from the overall WFC data set.
