In this paper we report on the third soft gamma-ray source catalog obtained with the IBIS/ISGRI gamma-ray imager on board the INTEGRAL satellite. The scientific data set is based on more than 40 Ms of high-quality observations performed during the first 3.5 yr of Core Program and public IBIS/ISGRI observations. Compared to previous IBIS/ISGRI surveys, this catalog includes a substantially increased coverage of extragalactic fields, and comprises more than 400 high-energy sources detected in the energy range 17-100 keV, including both transients and faint persistent objects that can only be revealed with longer exposure times.

• Swift BAT Survey of AGNs (2007, methodology): “The relative completeness of the identifications in the BAT survey data contrasts with that of the INTEGRAL data (Masetti et al. 2006a; Bird et al. 2007) and is due to the extensive XRT follow-up and the accurate positions possible with the XRT.”
