- Description:
- The 120000 X-ray sources detected in the RASS II processing of the ROSAT All-Sky Survey are correlated with the 14315 IRAS galaxies selected from the IRAS Point Source Catalogue: 372 IRAS galaxies show X-ray emission within a distance of 100 arcsec from the infrared position. By inspecting the structure of the X-ray emission in overlays on optical images we quantify the likelihood that the X-rays originate from the IRAS galaxy. For 197 objects the soft X-ray emission is very likely associated with the IRAS galaxy. Their soft X-ray properties are determined and compared with their far-infrared emission.

- Description:
- The ROSHRI data table contains a list of sources detected by the Standard Analysis Software System (SASS) in reprocessed, public HRI datasets. In addition to the parameters returned by SASS (like position, count rate, signal-to-noise, etc.) each source in the table has associated with it a set of source and sequence "flags." These flags are provided by the ROSAT data centers in the US, Germany and the UK to help the user of the ROSHRI database table quickly judge the reliability of a given source. The ROSHRI table excludes sources that meet the following parameter criteria: false_det = 'T' or deferred = 'T' or not_checked = 'T' or un_unique ='T'. See the documentation below for descriptions of these parameters. These data have been screened by ROSAT data centers in the US, Germany, and the UK as a step in the production of the ROSAT Results Archive. The RRA contains extracted source and associated products with an indication of reliability for the primary parameters. This database table was last updated in August 2001.

- Description:
- The ROSPSPC database table contains a list of sources detected by the Standard Analysis Software System (SASS) in public, unfiltered, pointed PSPC datasets. In addition to the parameters returned by SASS (like position, count rate, likelihood, etc.) each source in the table has associated with it a set of source and sequence "flags." These flags are provided by the ROSAT data centers in the US, Germany and the UK to help the user of the ROSPSPC database table quickly judge the reliability of a given source. The ROSPSPC table excludes sources that meet the following parameter criteria: false_det = 'T' or deferred = 'T' or not_checked = 'T'. See the documentation below for descriptions of these parameters. The catalog consists of all primary source parameters from the automated detection algorithm employed by the SASS. In addition each observation has been quality checked, both by automatic algorithms and by detailed visual inspection. The results of this quality checking are contained as a set of logical-value flags for a set of principal source parameters. If a source parameter is suspect, the associated flag is set to "TRUE"; parameters with no obvious problems maintain the default, "FALSE", value. This database table was last updated in August 2001.

- Description:
- This table is derived from the Second ROSAT Source Catalog of Pointed Observations with the ROSAT PSPC (Roentgen Satellite Position-Sensitive Proportional Counter) Observed Using the Boron Filter, or the 2RXF Catalog. 2XRF contains arcsecond positions and count rates for 2,526 detected sources from 258 ROSAT PSPC Filter observations covering 0.15% of the sky, including 704 high-confidence detections and 20 obvious sources which were not detected by SASS. The complete version of the list of detections (the HEASARC's <a href="/W3Browse/rosat/rospspcftot.html">ROSPSPCFTOT</a>) table contains 2,526 entries, whereas the short 'high-confidence' version contained in this present table has 704 detection. The ROSPSPCF table excludes sources that meet the following parameter criteria: false_det = 'f' or deferred = 'D' or not_checked = 'n'. See the documentation below for descriptions of these parameters. The catalog consists of all primary source parameters from the automated detection algorithm employed by the SASS. In addition each observation has been quality checked, both by automatic algorithms and by detailed visual inspection. The results of this quality checking are contained as a set of logical-value flags for a set of principal source parameters. If a source parameter is suspect, the associated flag is set to a corresponding alphabetical value; parameters with no obvious problems maintain the default, '.', value. The Second ROSAT Pointed PSPC Filter Source Catalog includes missing sources, i.e. obvious sources which were not detected by the SASS source detection software but which could be easily detected by visual inspection. Missed sources are marked by negative values of their source identification number, i.e. the parameter 'MPLSX_ID' has a negative value for these sources. The only tabulated quantities for these visually identified missed sources are source positions; other quantities (like count rates, hardness ratios, etc.) are not available. These data have been screened by ROSAT data centers in the US, Germany, and the UK as a step in the production of the ROSAT Results Archive. The RRA contains extracted source and associated products with an indication of reliability for the primary parameters. More information about the ROSAT mission and the SASS can be obtained from the ROSAT User Handbook, available at <pre> <a href="http://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/rosat/rosdocs.html">http://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/rosat/rosdocs.html</a> </pre> This table was created by the HEASARC in May 2012 based on the file rospspcfcat-short.txt obtained from the MPE ROSAT Results Archive site (which is no longer available, unfortunately).

- Title:
- ROSAT survey of bright galaxies clusters
- Short Name:
- J/ApJ/514/148
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We describe the selection of an X-ray flux-limited sample of bright clusters of galaxies in the southern hemisphere, based on the first analysis of the ROSAT All-Sky Survey data (RASS1). The sample is constructed starting from an identification of candidate clusters in RASS1, after which their X-ray fluxes are remeasured using the steepness-ratio technique. This method is better suited than the RASS1 standard algorithm to measuring flux from extended sources. The final sample is count-rate-limited in the ROSAT hard band (0.5-2.0 keV), so that as a result of the distribution of N_H_, its effective flux limit varies between {~}3 and 4x10^-12^ ergs cm^-2^ s^-1^ over the selected area. This covers the {delta} < 2.5{deg} part of the south Galactic cap region (b < -20{deg}), excluding patches of low RASS1 exposure time and of the Magellanic Clouds area, for a total of 8235 deg^2^. One hundred and thirty candidate sources fulfill our selection criteria for bona fide clusters of galaxies in this area. Of these, 101 are Abell/ACO clusters, while 29 do not have a counterpart in these catalogs. Of these clusters, 126 (97%) have a redshift, and for these we compute an X-ray luminosity. 20% of the cluster redshifts come from new observations, as part of the ESO Key Program survey of RASS clusters that is currently under completion. Considering the intrinsic biases and incompletenesses introduced by the flux selection and source identification processes, we estimate the overall completeness to be better than 90%. The observed number count distribution, log Nlog S, is well fitted by a power law with slope {alpha} =1.34{+/-}0.15 and normalization A=11.87{+/-}1.04 sr^-1^ (10^-11^ ergs cm^-2^ s^-1^)^{alpha}^, in good agreement with other measurements.

- ROSAT Survey of the Orion Nebula
- Short Name:
- HRI/Orion
- Date:

- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- This catalog presents some of the results from 3 deep ROSAT High Resolution Imager (HRI) observations of the Orion Nebula star-forming region. The fields covered by the X-ray images contain over 1500 catalogued stars in a roughly 0.8 square degree region centered on the Trapezium. In all, 389 distinct X-ray sources were detected, at least two-thirds of which were associated with a single proper-motion cluster member. X-ray emission was detected from stars of all spectral types, from the massive O- and B-type components of the Trapezium to the coolest, low-mass pre-main-sequence (PMS) stars. In the research paper in which these data were presented (Gagne et al. 1995), the authors focussed primarily on X-ray emission from the late-type PMS stars. Of the ~100 late-type cluster members with measured spectral types, approximately three-fourths were detected; the authors derived X-ray luminosity upper limits for the remaining stars. They found that coronal X-ray emission appeared to turn on at around a spectral type of F6, with the upper envelope of activity increasing with decreasing effective temperature. The current database is a concatenation of Tables 2 and 3 from Gagne et al. (1995) which list the 389 distinct X-ray sources and their candidate optical counterparts. A detection criterion of 3 sigma was used, i.e., a sigal-to-noise ratio criterion of 3. 324 of the X-ray sources have a single candidate optical counterpart, 50 of the X-ray sources (listed in Table 3 of the original paper) have multiple candidates for the optical counterparts, and the remainder have no optical counterparts. Notice that Table 6 of Gagne et al. (1995) which presents a compilation of optical and X-ray data for a sub-group of the Orion stars for which data on the spectral types and the spectroscopic rotational velocities or the photometric rotational periods are available is not part of this database. This database was created at the HEASARC in December 1997 based on a computer-readable version of Tables 2 and 3 of Gagne et al. (1995) that was obtained from the CDS (their catalog J/ApJ/445/280).

- Description:
- We have obtained deep ROSAT images of three regions within the Pleiades open cluster. We have detected 317 X-ray sources in these ROSAT PSPC images, 171 of which we associate with certain or probable members of the Pleiades cluster. We detect nearly all Pleiades members with spectral types later than G0 and within 25 arcminutes of our three field centers where our sensitivity is highest. This has allowed us to derive for the first time the luminosity function for the G, K, and M dwarfs of an open cluster without the need to use statistical techniques to account for the presence of upper limits in the data sample. Because of our high X-ray detection frequency down to the faint limit of the optical catalog, we suspect that some of our unidentified X-ray sources are previously unknown, very low-mass members of the Pleiades.
