Scientific paper

The Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) on the Swift satellite is a large field of view instrument that continually monitors the sky to provide the gamma-ray burst trigger for Swift. An average of more than 70% of the sky is observed on a daily basis. These survey mode data in the 15-50 keV energy band are analyzed to derive count rates for 221 known hard X-ray sources on time scales ranging from one minute to 24 hours.
