The BeppoSAX WFC source catalogue

We present the catalogue of X-ray sources detected by the two Wide Field Cameras (WFCs) on board BeppoSAX during its 6 years of operational lifetime (April 1996 - April 2002). At the ASI Science Date Center (ASDC) we carried out a first systematic processing of all public data in the BeppoSAX WFC archive and the complete scientific results data base (images, spectra and light-curves) is available on-line. The procedure developed makes use of the post mission WFC analysis software and calibration and incorporates the full experience gained during the BeppoSAX operational phase. The catalogue of X-ray sources detected with the Wide Field Cameras (WFCs) includes 7209 detections of 232 sources, in particular 86 Low Mass X-ray Binaries (LMXBs), 49 High Mass X-ray Binaries (HMXBs), 9 Cataclismic Variables (CVs), 40 Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs) and 8 clusters of galaxies. Here we present some statistical and spectral properties of the sample.
