We present the third list with results {Tables 2 to 6 are available only in electronic form at the CDS via anonymous ftp to cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr (130.79.128.5) or via http://cdsweb.u-strasbg.fr/Abstract.html. Figures A1 to A9 will be made…

We present a high-energy study of the intriguing COS-B gamma-ray field, 2CG 075+00, in order to search for possible counterparts. New EGRET data show that the COS-B emission probably corresponds to two localized gamma-ray sources, 3EG…

The second IBIS/ISGRI survey has produced a catalogue containing 209 hard X-ray sources visible down to a flux limit of around 1 milliCrab. The point source location accuracy of typically 1-3 arcminutes has allowed the counterparts for most…

The diffuse extragalactic gamma-ray background (EGRB) has been derived by various groups from observations by the Energetic Gamma Ray Experiment Telescope (EGRET) instrument on the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory (CGRO). The derived EGRB…

In preparation for GLAST, we have compiled a sample of blazar candidates to increase the pool of well studied AGN from which GLAST counterparts will be drawn. Sources were selected with our Figure of Merit (FoM) ranking; thus, they have…

The identification of point sources poses a great challenge for the high energy community. We present a new approach to evaluate the likelihood of a set of sources being a Galactic population based on the simple assumption that galaxies…
