INTEGRAL Public Data Results Catalog: Gamma-Ray Observations from 2002

NASA HEASARC provides a catalog of gamma-ray observations from the INTEGRAL satellite, which began collecting data in October 2002. The catalog is a collaborative effort between the INTEGRAL Science Data Center in Switzerland and NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, based on data from the IBIS and SPI instruments. It was first created in September 2004 and was updated weekly until June 2019.

Use Cases

• Identify gamma-ray source candidates for detailed follow-up analysis based on the semi-automated results.
• Analyze observation history and proposal amalgamation patterns for the INTEGRAL mission.
• Study long-term gamma-ray data trends from the IBIS and SPI instruments.

Strengths

• Data collection began in October 2002, providing a long temporal baseline.
• Catalog was updated weekly until June 2019, suggesting regular maintenance.
• Collaborative provenance from NASA GSFC and the INTEGRAL Science Data Center.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Results are described as approximate, intended as a guideline rather than definitive.
• Automatic updates were discontinued in June 2019; freshness should be verified.
