The Burst and Transient Source Experiment (BATSE) Earth Occultation CatalogThe hard X-ray sky was continuously monitored with the BATSE experiment on the Compton Gamma Ray observatory using the Earth Occultation method. Known sources were monitored twice every orbit and transients could be detected at about the approx. 50 mCrab level on a daily basis. I will summarize the results from our catalog of 179 monitored sources, highlighting observations of black holes and energy spectra for the 83 firmly detected sources and FITS files for all 179 sources. This web database can serve as a guide and comparison tool for future observations with EXIST.
