From BeppoSAX to INTEGRAL: Wide Field Camera results on the Galactic Plane and INTEGRAL prospective
Abstract
During 6 years of the BeppoSAX operational life, the Wide Field Camera observations covered almost the full sky providing a coverage of the Galactic Plane at different epochs. We analysed the longest Wide Field Camera pointing in the Galactic Plane in different energy bands in order to predict sources detection with INTEGRAL instruments. In fact, about 30 % of INTEGRAL Core Programme (CP) observing time is dedicated to a survey of the Galactic Plane with the aim to detect new sources, trigger TOO observations for CP and General Observer programme and to map the diffuse emission. Here we focus on producing a map containing all sources detected by BeppoSAX along the Galactic Plane for comparison with the same IBIS/INTEGRAL exposed sky region.
