Constructing an IBIS/ISGRI slew survey
Abstract
INTEGRAL/IBIS has two operation modes: pointing and slew. The telescope collects data while operated in both modes, but only pointing data are currently processed with the INTEGRAL Off-line Scientific Analysis software. This work aims at giving access to INTEGRAL/IBIS slew data (≈ 30Ms of data, corresponding to about 7% of the total observing time) for scientific analysis. Slew data will extend the coverage of regions of the sky that aren't regularly observed and provide additional data points for long-term light curves. This will significantly contribute to the study of hard X-ray transient sources and the long-term monitoring of transient activity of persistent sources.
