Scientific paper

The Burst Alert Telescope (BAT: 14-150 keV) on board of Swift is mainly devoted to the monitoring of a large fraction of the sky (50%-80% per day) for the occurrence of Gamma Ray Bursts. This provides the opportunity for a substantial gain of our knowledge of the Galactic and extragalactic sky in the hard X-ray domain. We have developed a code for the analysis of the survey data collected by the Swift-BAT telescope and produced two hard X-ray source catalogues from the all-sky maps integrated over the first 39 and 54 months of Swift-BAT observations. Here we present the results of a systematic search for transient sources on timescales from a few days up to months.
