- Description:
- This database table contains the 13th edition of the Catalog of Quasars and Active Galactic Nuclei by Veron-Cetty and Veron, and is an update of the previous versions. As in the previous editions, no information about absorption lines or X-ray properties is given, but absolute magnitides are provided, assuming a Hubble constant H<sub>0</sub> = 71 km/s/Mpc and a deceleration parameter q<sub>0</sub> = 0 (notice the change of cosmology from previous editions in which H<sub>0</sub> was assumed to be 50 km/s/Mpc). The present edition of this catalog contains 133336 quasars, 1374 BL Lac objects and 34231 active galaxies (including 15627 Seyfert 1 galaxies), for a grand total of 168941 objects, significantly more than the number of objects listed in the 12th edition (108080). The 13th edition includes positions and redshifts, as well as photometry (U, B, and V) and 6-cm and 20-cm flux densities, when available. 178 objects once proposed but now rejected as quasars are NOT included in the online version of this catalog: their names and positions are listed in the file <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/VII/258/reject.dat">https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/VII/258/reject.dat</a>. This HEASARC table also does NOT contain the additional information on gravitationally lensed quasars and quasar pairs listed in Tables 3 and 4 of the published paper: these tables are available in electronic form at the CDS <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/VII/248/">https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/VII/248/</a> files table2.dat and table3.dat (sic). The present edition of this catalog contains quasars with measured redshift known prior to July 1st, 2009. This online catalog was created by the HEASARC in April 2010 based on machine-readable tables obtained from the CDS (their catalog VII/258, files qso.dat, bllac.dat, and agn.dat). It was last updated in June 2012 to tweak some class values. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

- Title:
- WBL Individual Galaxies Data Catalog (White et al. 1999)
- Short Name:
- WBL
- Date:
- 10 May 2024
- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- The Catalog of Nearby Poor Clusters of Galaxies of White et al. (1999), also known as the WBL Catalog, is a catalog of 732 optically selected, nearby poor clusters of galaxies covering the entire sky north of -3 degrees declination. The poor clusters, called WBL clusters, were identified as concentrations of three or more galaxies with photographic magnitudes brighter than 15.7, possessing a galaxy surface overdensity of 10^(4/3). These criteria are consistent with those used in the identification of the original Yerkes poor clusters, and this new catalog substantially increases the sample size of such objects. These poor clusters cover the entire range of galaxy associations up to and including Abell clusters, systematically including poor and rich galaxy systems spanning over 3 orders of magnitude in the cluster mass function. As a result, this new catalog contains a greater diversity of richness and structures than other group catalogs, such as the Hickson and Yerkes catalogs. This table contains the entries for the individual galaxies in the poor clusters which ere given in Table 3 of the published catalog, and includes redshifts for the individual galaxies and cross-references to other galaxy catalogs. The WBL table (q.v.) contains the entries for the clusters themselves (given in Table 2 of the published catalog). The WBLGALAXY table was created by the HEASARC in July 2002 based on CDS Catalog J/AJ/118/2014 (the file table3.dat). This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

- Wide Angle ROSAT Pointed Survey, First Phase (WARPS-I)
- Short Name:
- ROSAT/WARPS
- Date:

- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- The Wide Angle ROSAT Pointed Survey, First Phase (WARPS-I) table is a catalog which contains optical identifications for objects found in a serendipitous survey of relatively deep, pointed ROSAT observations for clusters of galaxies. The X-ray source detection algorithm used by WARPS is Voronoi Tessellation and Percolation (VTP), a technique which is equally sensitive to point sources and to extended sources of low surface brightness. WARPS-I is based on the central regions of 86 ROSAT PSPC fields, covering an area of 16.2 square degrees. The X-ray source screening and optical identification process for WARPS-I yielded 34 clusters at 0.06<z<0.75. Twenty-two of these clusters form a complete, statistically well-defined sample drawn from 75 of these 86 fields, covering an area of 14.1 square degrees, with a flux limit of F(0.5-2.0keV) = 6.5x10<sup>-14</sup> erg/cm<sup>2</sup>/s. This sample can be used to study the properties and evolution of the gas, galaxy and dark matter content of clusters and to constrain cosmological parameters. This online catalog was created by the HEASARC in May 2003 based on machine-readable versions of tables 2, 3, 4 and 5 of Perlman et al. (2002) that were obtained from the CDS.

- WISE/2MASS/RASS (W2R) AGN Sample Catalog
- Short Name:
- W2RAGNCAT
- Date:
- 10 May 2024
- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- The authors of this catalog have developed the S<sub>IX</sub> statistic to identify bright, highly likely active galactic nucleus (AGN) candidates solely on the basis of Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE), Two-Micron All-Sky Survey (2MASS), and ROSAT All-Sky Survey (RASS) data. This statistic was optimized with data from the preliminary WISE survey and the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, and tested with Lick 3 m Kast spectroscopy. The authors find that sources with S<sub>IX</sub> < 0 have a >~ 95% likelihood of being an AGN (defined in this paper as a Seyfert 1, quasar, or blazar). This statistic was then applied to the full WISE/2MASS/RASS dataset, including the final WISE data release, to yield the "W2R" sample of 4316 sources with S<sub>IX</sub> < 0. Only 2209 of these sources are currently in the Veron-Cetty and Veron (VCV) Catalog of spectroscopically confirmed AGNs, indicating that the W2R sample contains nearly 2000 new, relatively bright (J <~ 16) AGNs. The authors utilize the W2R sample to quantify biases and incompleteness in the VCV Catalog. They find that it is highly complete for bright (J < 14), northern AGNs, but the completeness drops below 50% for fainter, southern samples and for sources near the Galactic plane. This approach also led to the spectroscopic identification of 10 new AGNs in the Kepler field, more than doubling the number of AGNs being monitored by Kepler. The W2R sample contains better than 1 bright AGN every 10 deg<sup>2</sup>, permitting construction of AGN samples in any sufficiently large region of sky. This table contains the 4316 sources comprising the W2R sample. This table was created by the HEASARC in June 2012 based on an electronic version of Table 3 from the reference paper which was obtained from the ApJ website.

- XMM-COSMOS X-Ray Selected Type-2 AGN
- Short Name:
- XMMCTY2AGN
- Date:
- 10 May 2024
- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- This table contains the results from a study of the multi-wavelength (from the mid-infrared to the hard X-ray) properties of a sample of 255 spectroscopically identified X-ray selected Type-2 AGN from the XMM-COSMOS survey. Most of them are obscured and the X-ray absorbing column density is determined by either X-ray spectral analyses (for 45% of the sample), or from hardness ratios. Spectral energy distributions (SEDs) were computed for all sources in the sample. The average SEDs in the optical band are dominated by the host-galaxy light, especially at low X-ray luminosities and redshifts. There is also a trend between X-ray and mid-infrared luminosity: the AGN contribution in the infrared is higher at higher X-ray luminosities. The authors have calculated bolometric luminosities, bolometric corrections, stellar masses and star formation rates (SFRs) for these sources using multi-component modeling to properly disentangle the emission associated with stellar light from that due to black hole accretion. For 90% of the sample, they also have the morphological classifications obtained with an upgraded version of the Zurich estimator of structural types (ZEST+). The authors find that, on average, type-2 AGN have lower bolometric corrections than type-1 AGN. Moreover, they confirm that the morphologies of AGN host-galaxies indicate that there is a preference for these type-2 AGN to be hosted in bulge-dominated galaxies with stellar masses greater than 10<sup>10</sup> solar masses. For each source, this table contains the X-ray ID, spectroscopic redshift, logarithm of the 2-10keV luminosity, logarithm of the bolometric luminosity, bolometric correction, logarithm of the stellar mass, star formation rate, absolute magnitude M<sub>U</sub>, absolute magnitude M<sub>V</sub>, absolute magnitude M<sub>J</sub> (Johnson-Kron-Cousin system), and the morphological class. This table was created by the HEASARC in October 2011 based on CDS table J/A+A/534/A110 file table1.dat. 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 .

- X-Ray Selected BL Lac Objects Catalog
- Short Name:
- XRAYSELBLL
- Date:

- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- This table contains a catalog of 312 X-ray selected BL Lacertae objects (XBLs), optically identified through the end of 2011. It contains the names from different surveys, equatorial coordinates, redshifts, multi-frequency flux values, and luminosities for each source. In the reference, the different characteristics of these XBLs are statistically investigated (redshift, radio/optical/X-ray luminosities, central black hole (BH) mass, synchrotron peak frequency, broadband spectral indices, optical flux variability). Their values were collected through an extensive bibliographic and database search or calculated by the author. The redshifts range from 0.031 to 0.702 with a maximum of the distribution at z = 0.223. The 1.4-GHz luminosities of XBLs log (nu * L<sub>nu</sub>) ~ 39 - 42 (in units of erg s<sup>-1</sup>), while the optical V and X-ray (0.1-2.4 keV) bands show log (nu * L<sub>nu</sub>) ~ 43 - 46 (same units). The XBL hosts are elliptical galaxies with effective radii r<sub>eff</sub> = 3.26 - 25.40 kpc and ellipticities e = 0.04 - 0.52. Their R-band absolute magnitudes M<sub>R</sub> range from -21.11 mag to -24.86 mag with a mean value of -22.83 mag. The V - R indices of the hosts range from 0.61 to 1.52 and reveal a fourth-degree polynomial relationship with z that enabled the author to evaluate the redshifts of five sources whose V - R indices were determined from the observations, but whose redshifts values are either not found or not confirmed. The XBL nuclei show a wider range of 7.31 mag for M<sub>R</sub>, with the highest luminosity corresponding to M<sub>R</sub> = -27.24 mag. The masses of the central BHs are found in the interval log M<sub>BH</sub> = 7.39 - 9.30 (in units of solar masses), with the maximum of the distribution at log M<sub>BH</sub>/M<sub>sun</sub> = 8.30. The synchrotron peak frequencies are spread over the range log nu<sub>peak</sub> = 14.56 - 19.18 Hz, with a peak of the distribution at log nu<sub>peak</sub> = 16.60 Hz. The broad-band radio-to-optical (alpha<sub>ro</sub>), optical-to-X-ray (alpha<sub>ox</sub>), and radio-to-X-ray (alpha<sub>rx</sub>) spectral indices are distributed in the intervals (0.17, 0.59), (0.56, 1.48), and (0.41, 0.75), respectively. In the optical energy range, the overall flux variability increases, on average, towards shorter wavelengths: Delta(m) = 1.22, 1.50, and 1.82 through the R, V, B bands of the Johnson-Cousins system, respectively. XBLs seem be optically less variable at intranight timescales compared to radio-selected BL Lacs (RBLs). This table was created by the HEASARC in June 2013 based on an electronic version of Table 2 from the reference paper which was obtained form the AJ web site.
