Abstract

In this catalog the results related to high-energy gamma-ray sources obtained from the Energetic Gamma Ray Experiment Telescope (EGRET) on the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory are summarized for the period from 1991 April 22 to 1992 November 17, called phase 1. This phase of the Compton Observatory mission was devoted to an all-sky survey. Tables are included for the following EGRET results: solar flares with detected gamma radiation; pulsars; sources with absolute value of b is less than 10 deg, gamma-ray bursts; normal galaxies; clusters of galaxies; positive detections of radio-loud quasars and BL Lac objects; marginal detections of radio-loud quasars and BL Lac objects; upper limits for radio-loud quasars and BL Lac objects; upper limits for Seyfert galaxies and selected radio-quiet quasars, and other sources with absolute value of b is greater than or equal to 10 deg the Galactic plane. There is also a table relating the dates of the observations to the Compton Observatory viewing period numbers to assist in referencing the observations.
