USING THE CORRELATION BETWEEN ISGRI SURVEY RESULTS AND OTHER CATALOGUES TO AID SOURCE IDENTIFICATION John B. Stephen, A. Malizia and L. Bassani IASF-INAF, Via P. Gobetti 101, 40129 Bologna, ITALY, E-mail: stephen@iasfbo.inaf.it ABSTRACT In order to help in the identification of INTEGRAL/ISGRI sources, we have developed a software package which allows a rapid and detailed cross-correlation to be performed between various source catalogues. ... We show below some preliminary results from this analysis. ...

1000 of these sources, however, remains a mystery; these are the so-called unassociated gamma-ray sources, with no known astrophysical counterpart at any other wavelength. While many LAT unassociated sources likely belong to known classes of objects (e.g. pulsars), a more exotic origin for some of these sources is also possible (e.g. dark matter annihilation). ... These results will aid further studies and follow-up observations of LAT unassociated sources. ...
