Description


The authors have analyzed all the archival X-ray data of 134 unidentified (unID) gamma-ray sources listed in the first Fermi/LAT (1FGL) catalog and subsequently followed up by the Swift/XRT. They constructed the spectral energy distributions (SEDs) from radio to gamma-rays for each X-ray source detected, and tried to pick up unique objects that display anomalous spectral signatures. In these analyses, they target all the 1FGL unID sources, using updated data from the second Fermi/LAT (2FGL) catalog on the Large Area Telescope (LAT) position and spectra. In the reference paper, the authors discuss the X-ray identification results and the SEDs of all 134 sources observed with the Swift/XRT. The selection criteria for the Fermi sources were as follows: (1) categorized as unID sources in the 1FGL catalog, (2) localized at high Galactic latitude |b| > 10 degrees, (3) observational data were made public by October 2011, and (4) the positional center of the Swift FoV is within 12 arcminutes of the 1FGL sources. Among 630 unID sources listed in the 1FGL catalog, this selection yielded 134 sources which were analyzed in this study. This table contains the list of the positions and 0.3-10 keV count rates of 267 Swift XRT sources which were detected with a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 3 or more within the Swift/XRT field of views (FoV) of 112 of the 134 1FGL unID gamma-ray sources, with 22 of the 1FGL sources having no detected Swift XRT sources in their FoVs. The Swift XRT images of all 134 unID gamma-ray sources, the positions of the significant XRT sources, and the 95% 1FGL and 2FGL error ellipses are shown in Figure 11 of the reference paper. This table was created by the HEASARC in September 2014 based on an electronic version of Table 4 from the reference paper which was obtained from the ApJS website. Some of the values for the name parameter in the HEASARC's implementation of this table were corrected in April 2018. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .
