- Description:
- This catalog of X-ray sources represents some of the results of a systematic study of X-ray flares from low-mass young stellar objects, using two deep exposure Chandra observations of the main region of the rho Ophiuchi star-forming cloud. From 195 X-ray sources, including class I-III pre-main sequence sources and some young brown dwarfs, a total of 71 X-ray flares were detected. The Chandra X-ray Observatory (Weisskopf et al., 2002PASP..114....1W) observed the central region of rho Oph twice with a deep exposure of the ACIS-I array, consisting of four abutted X-ray CCDs. The first observation (here and after, obs. BF) covered the south-east 17.4' x 17.4' area, including cores B, C, E, and F, while the second observation (obs. A) covered the north-west area centered on core A (Loren et al., 1990ApJ...365..269L). This table contains data and the results of spectral and timing analyses on the 195 sources detected in the two rho Oph fields, 9 of which were detected in both fields and are therefore listed twice (A-61=BF-2, A-64=BF-4, A-65=BF-5, A-69=BF-7, A-75=BF-11, A-77=BF-15, A-78=BF-16, A-79=BF-17, and A-81 = BF-19). Sources which flared have multiple entries, with one entry (typically, but not always) listing the properties of the quiescent emission, and additional entries for individual flares which were analyzed separately. For the very faint sources for which the temperatures obtained from X-ray spectral analyses were not constrained, there are typically two entries in this table per source, one of which gives the results of a spectral analysis in which the temperature was fixed at 1 keV (11.6 MK) and the other in which the temperature was instead fixed at 5 keV (58 MK). Thus, there are more entries (306) in this HEASARC table than the number (195) of detected rho Oph X-ray sources. This table was created by the HEASARC in February 2007 based on <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/PASJ/55/653">CDS Catalog J/PASJ/55/653</a> files table2.dat and table3.dat.

- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- This HEASARC database table contains information on the so-called "Related Objects" only, as taken from the Catalog of Cataclysmic Binaries, Low-Mass X-ray Binaries, and Related Objects (7th Edition, Release 7.21, March 2014) of Ritter & Kolb. The complete catalog lists coordinates, apparent magnitudes, orbital parameters, stellar parameters of the components, and other characteristic properties of 1166 cataclysmic binaries, 105 low-mass X-ray binaries, and 500 related objects with known or suspected orbital periods. The HEASARC has for simplicity split this catalog into three Browse database tables, one for each class of objects: the present table (RITTERRBIN) containing the related binaries' data, a second one (<a href="/W3Browse/star-catalog/rittercv.html">RITTERCV</a>) containing cataclysmic binaries' data, and a third one (<a href="/W3Browse/star-catalog/ritterlmxb.html">RITTERLMXB</a>) containing the low-mass X-ray binaries' data. The literature published before 1 January 2014 has, as far as possible, been taken into account. Related objects are detached binaries consisting of either a white dwarf or a white dwarf precursor primary and of a low-mass secondary. The secondary may also be a highly evolved star. This table was last updated by the HEASARC in April 2014 based on the pcbdata.dat file from the <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/B/cb">CDS Catalog B/cb</a>.

The literature published before 1 January 2014 has, as far as possible, been taken into account. Cataclysmic binaries are semi-detached binaries consisting of a white dwarf (or a white dwarf precursor) primary and a low-mass secondary which is filling its critical Roche lobe. The secondary is not necessarily unevolved, it may even be a highly evolved star, as, for example, in the case of the AM CVn-type stars.

- Roma-BZCAT Multi-Frequency Catalog of Blazars
- Short Name:
- ROMABZCAT
- Date:
- 25 Apr 2025
- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- This table contains the 5th edition of the Roma-BZCAT catalog of blazars which contains coordinates and multi-frequency data of 3561 sources. It presents several relevant changes with respect to the past editions which are briefly described in the reference paper. The Roma-BZCAT catalog contains data on 3561 sources, about 30% more than in the 1st edition, which either confirmed blazars or exhibiting characteristics close to this type of sources. With respect to the previous editions, this new edition has relevant changes in the sources' classification. The authors emphasize that all the sources in the Roma-BZCAT have a detection in the radio band. Moreover, complete spectroscopic information is published and could be accessed by the authors for all of them, with the exception of BL Lac candidates. Consequently, peculiar sources such as the so called "radio quiet BL Lacs", which are reported in some other catalogs, are not included here because of possible contamination by hot stars and other extragalactic objects. In the 5th edition, the authors use a similar denomination for the blazars to that adopted in the previous editions. Each blazar is identified by a code, with 5BZ for all blazars, a fourth letter that specifies the type (B, G, Q or U), followed by the truncated equatorial coordinates (J2000). The authors introduced the edition number before the letters BZ to avoid possible confusion due to the fact that several sources changed their old names because of a newly adopted classification. The 5th edition contains 1151 BZB sources (92 of which are reported as candidates because their optical spectra could not be found in the literature), 1909 BZQ sources, 274 BZG sources, and 227 BZU objects. This database table was originally ingested by the HEASARC in September 2013, based on <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/A+A/495/691">CDS Catalog J/A+A/495/691</a> file bzcat4.dat. It was updated in March 2016, and it is now based on <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/VII/274">CDS Catalog VII/274</a> file bzcat5.dat. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- This catalog presents X-ray data for all the main-sequence and subgiant stars of spectral types A, F, G, and K and luminosity classes IV and V listed in the Bright Star Catalogue (also known as the HR Catalogue) that have been detected as X-ray sources in the ROSAT All-Sky Survey (RASS). A number of stars in the appropriate spectral type range that do not have assigned luminosity classes have also been included. The catalogue contains 980 such HR stars detected as X-ray sources out of a total of 3054 stars in the HR Catalogue that satisfy the selection criteris, implying an average detection rate of 32%. In addition to the measured ROSAT PSPC count rates, source detection parameters, hardness ratios, and X-ray fluxes, X-ray luminosities derived from Hipparcos parallaxes are also listed. This database was created at the HEASARC in February 1999 based on the ADC/<a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/A+AS/132/155">CDS Catalog J/A+AS/132/155</a>.

- Short Name:
- RASS/SDSSAGN
- Date:

- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- This table contains further results of a program aimed at yielding ~ 10<sup>4</sup> fully characterized optical identifications of ROSAT X-ray sources. The program employs X-ray data from the ROSAT All Sky Survey (RASS) and both optical imaging and spectroscopic data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). RASS/SDSS data from 5740 deg<sup>2</sup> of sky spectroscopically covered in SDSS Data Release 5 (DR5) provide an expanded catalog of 7000 confirmed quasars and other active galactic nuclei (AGN) that are probable RASS identifications. Again, in this expanded catalog the identifications as X-ray sources are statistically secure, with only a few percent of the SDSS AGNs likely to be randomly superposed on unrelated RASS X-ray sources. Most identifications continue to be quasars and Seyfert 1 galaxies with 15 < m < 21 and 0.01 < z < 4, but the total sample size has grown to include very substantial numbers of even quite rare AGN, e.g., it now includes several hundreds of candidate X-ray-emitting BL Lac objects and narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies. In addition to exploring rare subpopulations, such a large total sample may be useful when considering correlations between the X-ray and the optical and may also serve as a resource list from which to select the ``best'' object (e.g., the X-ray-brightest AGN of a certain subclass at a preferred redshift or luminosity) for follow-up X-ray spectral or alternate detailed studies. Much more information on the SDSS is available at the project's web site at <a href="http://www.sdss.org/">http://www.sdss.org/</a>. This table was created by the HEASARC in February 2007 based on the combination of the electronic versions of tables 1 through 6 from the above reference which were obtained from the electronic AJ website. It replaces a previous version containing the results presented by Anderson et al. (2003, AJ, 126, 2209) which were based on a cross-correlation of the RASS with optical data from very early on in the SDSS program, e.g., extending back to the 'Early Data Release' before SDSS photometric calibrations were complete.

- Description:
- The ROSAT All-Sky Survey (RASS) was the first imaging X-ray survey of the entire sky. Combining the RASS Bright and Faint Source Catalogs yields an average of about three X-ray sources per square degree. However, while X-ray source counterparts are known to range from distant quasars to nearby M dwarfs, the RASS data alone are often insufficient to determine the nature of an X-ray source. As a result, large-scale follow-up programs are required to construct samples of known X-ray emitters. The authors use optical data produced by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) to identify 709 stellar X-ray emitters cataloged in the RASS and falling within the SDSS Data Release 1 footprint. Most of these are bright stars with coronal X-ray emission unsuitable for SDSS spectroscopy, which is designed for fainter objects (g > 15<sup>mag</sup>). Instead, the authors use SDSS photometry, correlations with the Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS) and other catalogs, and spectroscopy from the Apache Point Observatory 3.5 m telescope to identify these stellar X-ray counterparts. Their sample of 707 X-ray-emitting F, G, K, and M stars is one of the largest X-ray-selected samples of such stars. The authors derive distances to these stars using photometric parallax relations appropriate for dwarfs on the main sequence, and use these distances to calculate their X-ray luminosities L<sub>X</sub>. They also identify a previously unknown cataclysmic variable (CV) as a RASS counterpart. Much more information on the SDSS is available at the project's web site at <a href="http://www.sdss.org/">http://www.sdss.org/</a>. This table was created by the HEASARC in April 2009 based on the the machine-readable version of Table 4 from the reference paper which was obtained from the ApJ web site.

- Title:
- ROSAT All-Sky Survey and Sloan Digital Sky Survey DR7 Galaxy Clusters
- Short Name:
- RASSSDSSGC
- Date:
- 25 Apr 2025
- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- The authors use ROSAT All-Sky Survey (RASS) broad-band X-ray images and the optical clusters identified from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 7 (SDSS DR7) to estimate the X-ray luminosities around ~65,000 candidate galaxy clusters with masses >~10<sup>13</sup> h<sup>-1</sup> M<sub>sun</sub> based on an optical to X-ray (OTX) code that they developed. They obtain a catalog with X-ray luminosities for all 64,646 clusters. A total of 34,522 (~53%) of these clusters have a signal-to-noise ratio S/N > 0 after subtracting the background signal. According to the reference paper (but see HEASARC Caveats section below), this catalog contains 817 clusters (473 at redshift z <= 0.12) with S/N > 3 for their X-ray detections (an additional 12,629 clusters have 3 >= S/N > 1 and 21,076 clusters have 1 >= S/N > 0). The authors find about 65% of these X-ray clusters have their most massive member located near the X-ray flux peak; for the remaining 35%, the most massive galaxy is separated from the X-ray peak, with the separation following a distribution expected from a Navarro-Frenk-White profile. In the reference paper, the authors investigate a number of correlations between the optical and X-ray properties of these X-ray clusters, and find that the cluster X-ray luminosity is correlated with the stellar mass (luminosity) of the clusters, as well as with the stellar mass (luminosity) of the central galaxy and the mass of the halo, although the scatter in these correlations is large. Comparing the properties of X-ray clusters of similar halo masses but having different X-ray luminosities, they find that massive haloes with masses >~10<sup>14</sup> h<sup>-1</sup> M<sub>sun</sub> contain a larger fraction of red satellite galaxies when they are brighter in X-ray. An opposite trend is found in central galaxies in relative low-mass haloes with masses <~10<sup>14</sup> h<sup>-1</sup> M<sub>sun</sub> where X-ray brighter clusters have smaller fraction of red central galaxies. Clusters with masses >~10<sup>14</sup> h<sup>-1</sup> M<sub>sun</sub> that are strong X-ray emitters contain many more low-mass satellite galaxies than weak X-ray emitters. These results are also confirmed by checking X-ray clusters of similar X-ray luminosities but having different characteristic stellar masses. The cluster catalog containing the optical properties of member galaxies and the X-ray luminosity is also available at <a href="http://gax.shao.ac.cn/data/Group.html">http://gax.shao.ac.cn/data/Group.html</a>. The optical data used in this analysis are taken from the SDSS galaxy group catalogs of Yang et al. (2007, ApJ, 671, 153), constructed using the adaptive halo-based group finder of Yang et al. (2005, MNRAS, 356, 1293), here updated to DR7. The parent galaxy catalog is the New York University Value-Added Galaxy Catalog (NYU-VAGC; Blanton et al. 2005, AJ, 129, 2562) based on the SDSS DR7 (Abazajian et al. 2009, ApJS, 182, 543), which contains an independent set of significantly improved reductions. In this study, the authors adopt a Lambda cold dark matter cosmology whose parameters are consistent with the 7-year data release of the WMAP mission: Omega<sub>m</sub> = 0.275, Omega<sub>Lambda</sub> = 0.725, h = H<sub>0</sub>/(100 km s<sup>-1</sup> Mpc<sup>-1</sup>) = 0.702, and sigma<sub>8</sub> = 0.816. This table was created by the HEASARC in June 2017 based upon the <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/MNRAS/439/611">CDS Catalog J/MNRAS/439/611</a> file catalog.dat.

- Description:
- This database table contains the list German ROSAT All-Sky Survey observations which were obtained during the ROSAT All-Sky Survey phase (1990 July 30 to 1991 Jan 25) and which have become available to the public. These data were obtained in scanning mode and therefore an individual dataset covers a much larger area of the sky than do pointed moded observations. In addition all these data were obtained with PSPC-C, while all pointed mode observations after the end of the All-Sky Survey were obtained with PSPC-B. For each observation listed in this database table, the instrument used, processing site, and coordinates of the field center are given, as well as the ROSAT observation request number (ROR), actual exposure time, date the observation took place, and more. For details about the ROSAT instruments, consult the ROSAT Mission Description (NASA Research Announcement for ROSAT, Appendix F and its addendum) and the ROSAT GSFC GOF website at <a href="http://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/rosat/rosgof.html">http://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/rosat/rosgof.html</a> for more information.
