Twelve-year update of the MST catalogue of γ-ray source candidates above 10 GeV and at Galactic latitudes higher than 20°.

CAMPANA R. and MASSARO E.

Abstract (from CDS):

We present an updated version catalogue of γ-ray source candidates, 12Y-MST, selected using the minimum spanning tree (MST) algorithm on the 12-year Fermi-LAT sky (Pass 8) at energies higher than 10GeV. The high-energy sky at absolute Galactic latitudes above 20° has been investigated using rather restrictive selection criteria, resulting in a total sample of 1664 photon clusters, or candidate sources. Of these, 230 are new detections, that is, candidate sources without any association in other γ-ray catalogues. A large fraction of them have interesting counterparts, most likely blazars. We describe the main results on the catalogue selection and search of counterparts. We also present an additional sample of 224 candidate sources (12Y-MSTw), which are clusters that we extracted by applying weaker selection criteria: about 57% of them have not been reported in other catalogues.
