    <description>
      In 6 years of operation, INTEGRAL/ISGRI revealed more than 500 sources. Many of these sources are variable. Taking into account that nearly half of INTEGRAL/ISGRI sources are new and many of them are still unidentified, the variability properties of the sources can serve as additional parameters that may help to classify and identify the unknown sources. In order to study the variability properties of the sources detected by INTEGRAL/ISGRI, the authors have developed a method to quantify the variability of a source which is described in their paper. They have compiled a catalog of the sources that fit their criteria of variability. This catalog gives the values of fractional variability, the flux, and the corresponding 2-sigma errors of the sources from the INTEGRAL Reference Catalog (&amp;lt;a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/A+A/411/L59"&amp;gt;CDS Cat. J/A+A/411/L59&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;, the HEASARC table INTVARCAT) version 30. The data are given for 3 energy bands: 20-40, 40-100, and 100-200 keV. The exposure times of the sources are given for each energy band only if the source was detected in the given band. This table also gives the source type according to the reference catalog. If the source is localized in more then one map then the weighted mean values of the flux and variability are given. The sources active during specific time periods and not detected at the total variability map are indicated with &amp;quot;b&amp;quot; letter in the source_flag parameter. The sources detected only in the total variability map are indicated with an &amp;quot;i&amp;quot; letter value for this parameter, while a letter &amp;quot;g&amp;quot; indicates that the source was affected by the &amp;quot;ghost&amp;quot; of another source. The map&amp;lt;sub&amp;gt;det&amp;lt;/sub&amp;gt;* parameters specify the time period map(s) in which the source was visible, where the presence of an &amp;#39;X&amp;#39; following a map number means that the source was not detected in the respective significance map, and that a lower limit for the fractional variability is given in such a case. This table was created by the HEASARC in December 2010 based on &amp;lt;a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/A+A/522/A68"&amp;gt;CDS Catalog J/A+A/522/A68&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; file table3.dat. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .
