A hard X-ray survey of the Crux Galactic spiral arm tangent. A catalog of sources

This work is part of a large solid angle hard X-ray survey. We analized a number of observations by the IBIS telescope aboard the INTEGRAL observatory covering the Crux Galactic spiral arm tangent. We have detected 46 hard X-ray sources, with 15 of them being new. Among the identified sources there are 12 AGNs, 11 HMXBs, 6 LMXBs and 2 active stars. 13 sources remain unidendified.Comment: Accepted for publication in Astronomy Letter
