- Description:
- This catalog lists the high and low latitude X-ray sources observed with the Sky Survey Instrument on board the ARIEL 5 satellite (UK 5) as published by Warwick et al. (1981MNRAS.197..865W) and McHardy et al. (1981MNRAS.197..893M). ARIEL 5 scanned the sky for 5.5yrs in the energy bands 2-18 keV with a time resolution of one orbit (100min approximately). The fields in the catalog list source name and up to three alternative names; the error box center and corners in decimal degrees; average, minimum, and maximum flux and their error; a variability code; identification; and comments.

- Third Catalog of Hard Fermi-LAT Sources (3FHL)
- Short Name:
- FERMI3FHL
- Date:

- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- This is a catalog of sources detected above 10 GeV by the Fermi-Large Area Telescope (LAT) in the first 7 years of data using the Pass 8 event-level analysis. It contains 1558 objects characterized in the 10 GeV to 2 TeV energy range. The sensitivity and angular resolution are improved by factors of 3 and 2 relative to the previous LAT catalog at the same energies (1FHL). The vast majority of detected sources (79%) are extragalactic, including 16 sources located at very high redshift (z > 2). Nine percent of the sources are Galactic and 12% are unassociated (or associated with a source of unknown nature). The high-latitude sky and the Galactic plane are observed with an average sensitivity of 0.5% and 1% of the Crab Nebula flux above 10 GeV, respectively. The catalog includes 225 new gamma-ray sources. The substantial increase in the number of photons (more than 4 times relative to the 1FHL and 10 times to the 2FHL) also allows us to characterize spectral curvature for 32 sources and flux variability for 163 of them. Furthermore, we estimate that for the same energy flux limit of 10<sup>-12</sup> erg cm<sup>2</sup> s<sup>-1</sup>, the energy range above 10 GeV has twice as many sources as the range above 50 GeV, which confirms and quantifies the importance of lowering the energy threshold of Cherenkov telescopes as much as possible in order to increase the number of available sources. This database table was first ingested by the HEASARC in December 2017 using electronic data obtained from the Fermi Science Support Center (FSSC). That data is available at <a href="http://fermi.gsfc.nasa.gov/ssc/data/access/lat/3FHL/">http://fermi.gsfc.nasa.gov/ssc/data/access/lat/3FHL/</a>. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

- Third catalog of LAT-detected AGNs (3LAC)
- Short Name:
- J/ApJ/810/14
- Date:
- 21 Oct 2021
- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- The third catalog of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) detected by the Fermi-LAT (3LAC) is presented. It is based on the third Fermi-LAT catalog (3FGL) of sources detected between 100MeV and 300GeV with a Test Statistic greater than 25, between 2008 August 4 and 2012 July 31. The 3LAC includes 1591 AGNs located at high Galactic latitudes (|b|>10{deg}), a 71% increase over the second catalog based on 2 years of data. There are 28 duplicate associations, thus 1563 of the 2192 high-latitude gamma-ray sources of the 3FGL catalog are AGNs. Most of them (98%) are blazars. About half of the newly detected blazars are of unknown type, i.e., they lack spectroscopic information of sufficient quality to determine the strength of their emission lines. Based on their gamma-ray spectral properties, these sources are evenly split between flat-spectrum radio quasars (FSRQs) and BL Lacs. The most abundant detected BL Lacs are of the high-synchrotron-peaked (HSP) type. About 50% of the BL Lacs have no measured redshifts. A few new rare outliers (HSP-FSRQs and high-luminosity HSP BL Lacs) are reported. The general properties of the 3LAC sample confirm previous findings from earlier catalogs. The fraction of 3LAC blazars in the total population of blazars listed in BZCAT remains non-negligible even at the faint ends of the BZCAT-blazar radio, optical, and X-ray flux distributions, which hints that even the faintest known blazars could eventually shine in gamma-rays at LAT-detection levels. The energy-flux distributions of the different blazar populations are in good agreement with extrapolation from earlier catalogs.

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- The third catalog of high-energy gamma-ray sources detected by the EGRET telescope on the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory (3EG) includes data from 1991 April 22 to 1995 October 3 (cycles 1, 2, 3, and 4 of the mission). In addition to including more data than the second EGRET catalog and its supplement, this catalog uses completely reprocessed data to correct a number of mostly minimal errors and problems. 14 sources (3 from the Supplement) listed in Table 6 below are not appearing in the 3EG. The 271 sources (E>100 MeV) in the catalog include the single 1991 solar flare bright enough to be detected as a source, the Large Magellanic Cloud, five pulsars, one probable radio galaxy detection (Cen A), and 66 high-confidence identifications of blazars (BL Lac objects, flat-spectrum radio quasars, or unidentified flat-spectrum radio sources). In addition, 27 lower confidence potential blazar identifications are noted. Finally, the catalog contains 170 sources not yet identified firmly with known objects, although potential identifications have been suggested for a number of those. This catalog supersedes the 2EG (Cat. <J/ApJS/101/259>) and its supplement (Cat. <J/ApJS/107/227>).

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- In this paper we report on the third soft gamma-ray source catalog obtained with the IBIS/ISGRI gamma-ray imager on board the INTEGRAL satellite. The scientific data set is based on more than 40Ms of high-quality observations performed during the first 3.5yr of Core Program and public IBIS/ISGRI observations. Compared to previous IBIS/ISGRI surveys, this catalog includes a substantially increased coverage of extragalactic fields, and comprises more than 400 high-energy sources detected in the energy range 17-100keV, including both transients and faint persistent objects that can only be revealed with longer exposure times.

- Description:
- On the basis of the data observed with the Photoelectric Transit Instrument, of the Beijing Astronomical Observatory during the period from 1980 through 1984, the third preliminary catalogue of stars on right ascension observed with the Photoelectric Transit Instrument (PPCP3) have been compiled. The relations between the residuals V and the magnitude M, and the spectral type S of FK4 stars are discussed. There are 411 stars in this catalogue. The mean precisions of {DELTA}alpha's is +/-2.3ms. Finally systematic corrections of PPCP3-FK4 are given.

- Title:
- Third release of DENIS data (20 September 2005)
- Short Name:
- denis
- Date:
- 17 Jun 2006 18:44:05
- Publisher:
- Sternberg Astronomical Institute Virtual Observatory Project
- Description:
- This catalogue is the latest incremental release of the DENIS project. It consists of a set of 355,220,325 point sources detected by the DENIS survey in 3662 strips (covering each 30 degrees in declination and 12 arcmin in right ascension). The data in this release cover approximately 16700 square degrees of the Southern sky. Multiple detections of single point sources have been merged in image overlaps within individual strips, but sources can have multiple detections in overlaping strips. DENIS is the only astronomical survey of the Southern sky made in two near-infrared bands (J at 1.25{mu}m, and K_s_ at 2.15{mu}m) and one optical band (Gunn-i at 0.82{mu}m), with limiting magnitudes 16.5, 14 and 18.5, respectively. Saturation magnitudes are K_s_=6, J=7.5 and Gunn-i=9.8mag. It was conducted by a European consortium, using the 1m telescope at ESO, La Silla (Chile). The DENIS instrument is made up of a 3-channel camera built of commercially available detector arrays by the Observatoire de Paris and with major contributions from other European Institutes, notably: the IAS in Frascati, the Observatoire de Grenoble, the University of Innsbruck, the Observatoire de Lyon, and the IAC in Tenerife. The survey is carried out by observing strips of 30{deg} in declination and 12arcminutes in Right Ascension with an overlap of 2 arcminutes between consecutive strips. The survey started at the end of 1995 and has been completed up to 97% in 2001. The data have been reduced at the Institut d'Astrophysique de Paris and Observatoire de Paris. The position of a general extracted point source is provided with an accuracy better than 1arcsec and its magnitude to better than 0.1 mag. The Centre de Donnees Astronomiques de Strasbourg (CDS) is releasing the final databases and provides access of the processed and calibrated data to the worldwide community. The principal investigator of the DENIS project is N. Epchtein (Observatoire de la Cote d'Azur); the Co-PI in charge of data processing is G. Simon (observatoire de Paris); J. Borsenberger and B. de Batz, with the help of F. Tanguy, S. Begon and P. Texier, processed the data and implemented the working data base at PDAC; S. Derriere is in charge of the data release at CDS. Scientists and engineers from seven European countries and from Brazil are involved in the data qualification and analysis.

- Third U.S. Naval Observatory CCD Astrograph Catalog (UCAC3)
- Short Name:
- ucac3

- Publisher:
- Sternberg Astronomical Institute Virtual Observatory Project
- Description:
- UCAC3 is a compiled, all-sky star catalog covering mainly the 8 to 16 magnitude range in a single bandpass between V and R. Positional errors are about 15 to 20 mas for stars in the 10 to 14 mag range. It is supplemented by proper motions and SuperCosmos and 2MASS photometric data, as well as various flags. The proper motions of bright stars are based on about 140 catalogs, including Hipparcos and Tycho, as well as all catalogs used for the Tycho-2 proper motion construction. Proper motions of faint stars are based on a re-reduction of early epoch SPM data (-90 to -10 deg Dec) plus Schmidt plate data from the SuperCosmos project (down weighted due to systematic errors of order 100 mas). The proper motions of faint stars (R <= 13.5) therefore should be used with caution. The unpublished plate measure data from the AGK2, the Hamburg Zone Astrograph, the USNO Black Birch Astrograph, and the Lick Astrograph have considerably contributed to improve proper motions for stars mainly in the 10 to 14 mag range (down to the UCAC3 limit for Lick data); however, these data do not cover all sky. UCAC3 features a number of major differences with respect to UCAC2: - complete sky coverage - re-reduction of the pixel data with better modeling - double stars are resolved to the limit of the data - significantly improved photometry from CCD data - slightly deeper limiting magnitude with larger number of stars/area - reduced systematic errors of CCD observations - the addition of several new catalogs for improved proper motions - photometry in the B, R, and I bands from the SuperCosmos project - minor planet observations have been sorted out - identification of more high proper motion stars - match with 2MASS extended sources and LEDA galaxies Additional details will be published in the upcoming release paper (Zacharias et al. 2009) and in several technical papers describing details of the reduction procedures and results.
