Abstract

Context. The positional accuracy of the IBIS telescope on-board INTEGRAL, albeit unprecedented in the >20 keV range, is still not good enough to identify many hard X-ray sources discovered by INTEGRAL. This indeed prevents counterparts from being found at other wavelengths, which is the only way to unveil the true nature of these sources.
