- Description:
- In this paper, a sample of 451 blazars (193 flat spectrum radio quasars (FSRQs), 258 BL Lacertae objects) with corresponding X-ray and Fermi {gamma}-ray data is compiled to investigate the correlation both between the X-ray spectral index and the {gamma}-ray spectral index and between the spectral index and the luminosity, and to compare the spectral indexes {alpha}_X_, {alpha}_{gamma}_, {alpha}_X{gamma}_, and {alpha}_{gamma}X{gamma}_ for different subclasses. We also investigated the correlation between the X-ray and the {gamma}-ray luminosity.

- Description:
- Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs) are extragalactic objects characterized by extremely complex physical processes and strong temporal flux variability over almost the whole electromagnetic spectrum, which play a very important role in studying the formation and evolution of galaxies, cosmology and many other astrophysical problems. Flux variability is one of the most remarkable observational characteristics of AGNs and the variability time scales are from minutes to dozens of years. Multi-wavelength flux monitoring is the main means to study the nature of AGN flux variability. In order to systematically study the total flux variability of AGNs in radio band, we launched a long-term program, which is called the quasi- Simultaneous Multiwavelength Monitoring of AGNs with the Nanshan 26-m radio telescope of Xinjiang Astronomical Observatory (XAO), namely SMMAN program. The monitoring data were acquired monthly with the cross-scan mode at C-band (4.8 GHz) and K-band (23.6 GHz) for a sample of about 100 AGNs selected from Fermi-LAT suvery. Additionally, we also conducted weekly monitoring observations or Intra-Day Vairibility (IDV) observations for some of flaring Blazars to reveal their more complex variability time scales.

- Description:
- The pulsar timing data were obtained with the Nanshan 25M radio telescope. Our observations, which commenced in January 2000, have been made using a dual-channel room-temperature receiver with a bandwidth of 320 MHz centered at 1540 MHz before June 2002. The de-dispersion was provided by a 2X128X2.5 MHz analog filter-bank. A cryogenic receiver was mounted in July 2002, which increases the sensitivity to 0.5 mJy. In January 2010, a digital filter-bank (DFB) system came into operation. The higher time resolution allows us to monitor about 280 pulsars, including ten millisecond-pulsars (MSP). The format of the DFB data is "Psrfit". The "psrchive" program could reads and analyzes the data. Timing observations of 74 pulsars have been regularly carried out between 2002 July to 2009 December. These 74 pulsars have been monitored approximately once every 9d using a dual-channel cryogenic system that receives orthogonal linear polarizations at the central observing frequency of 1540 MHz. The folded profiles obtained are released in format PSRFITS for timing analysis, the file name extension is .FTp. Users can enter "~*.FTp*" in "Product key" filed to search and download it.

- X-ATLAS X-ray sources photometric redshifts
- Short Name:
- J/A+A/608/A39
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present photometric redshifts for 1,031 X-ray sources in the X-ATLAS field using the machine-learning technique TPZ. X-ATLAS covers 7.1 deg2 observed with XMM-Newton within the Science Demonstration Phase (SDP) of the H-ATLAS field, making it one of the largest contiguous areas of the sky with both XMM-Newton and Herschel coverage. All of the sources have available SDSS photometry, while 810 additionally have mid-IR and/or near-IR photometry. A spectroscopic sample of 5,157 sources primarily in the XMM/XXL field, but also from several X-ray surveys and the SDSS DR13 redshift catalogue, was used to train the algorithm. Our analysis reveals that the algorithm performs best when the sources are split, based on their optical morphology, into point-like and extended sources. Optical photometry alone is not enough to estimate accurate photometric redshifts, but the results greatly improve when at least mid-IR photometry is added in the training process. In particular, our measurements show that the estimated photometric redshifts for the X-ray sources of the training sample have a normalized absolute median deviation, nmadh0.06, and a percentage of outliers, {eta}=10-14%, depending upon whether the sources are extended or point like. Our final catalogue contains photometric redshifts for 933 out of the 1,031 X-ray sources with a median redshift of 0.9.

- Title:
- XBACs, the sample
- Short Name:

- Publisher:

- Description:
- We present an essentially complete, all-sky, X-ray flux-limited sample of 242 Abell clusters of galaxies (six of which are double) compiled from ROSAT All-Sky Survey data. Our sample is uncontaminated in the sense that systems featuring prominent X-ray point sources such as AGN or foreground stars have been removed. The sample is limited to high Galactic latitudes (|b|>=20{deg}), the nominal redshift range of the ACO catalogue of z<=0.2, and X-ray fluxes above 5.0x10^-12^erg/cm^2^/s in the 0.1-2.4keV band. Owing to the X-ray flux limit, our sample consists, at intermediate and high redshifts, exclusively of very X-ray-luminous clusters. Since the latter tend to be also optically rich, the sample is not affected by the optical selection effects and, in particular, not by the volume incompleteness known to be present in the Abell and ACO catalogues for richness class 0 and 1 clusters. Our sample is the largest X-ray flux-limited sample of galaxy clusters compiled to date and will allow investigations of unprecedented statistical quality into the properties and distribution of rich clusters in the local Universe.

- XBOOTES:NDWFSBootesFieldOptical&NearIRCounterparts

- Description:
- The XBootes Survey is a 5 ks Chandra survey of the Bootes Field of the NOAO Deep Wide-Field Survey (NDWFS). This survey is unique in that it is the largest (9.3 square degrees) contiguous region imaged in X-ray with complementary deep optical and near-infrared (near-IR) observations. The authors present a catalog of the optical counterparts to the 3213 X-ray point sources detected in the XBootes survey. Using a Bayesian identification scheme, they successfully identified optical counterparts for 98% of the X-ray point sources. The optical colors suggest that the optically detected galaxies are a combination of z < 1 massive early-type galaxies and bluer star-forming galaxies whose optical AGN emission is faint or obscured, whereas the majority of the optically detected point sources are likely quasars over a large redshift range. This large-area, X-ray-bright, optically deep survey enables the authors to select a large subsample of sources (773) with high X-ray to optical flux ratios (f<sub>X</sub>/f<sub>o</sub> > 10). These objects are likely high-redshift and/or dust-obscured AGNs. These sources have generally harder X-ray spectra than sources with 0.1 < f<sub>X</sub>/f<sub>o</sub> < 10. Of the 73 X-ray sources with no optical counterpart in the NDWFS catalog, 47 are truly optically blank down to R ~ 25.5 (the average 50% completeness limit of the NDWFS R-band catalogs). These sources are also likely to be high-redshift and/or dust-obscured AGNs. The 9.3 square degrees region of sky chosen to match the area covered with the NDWFS was observed by ACIS-I on the Chandra X-Ray Observatory over a 2 week time interval in 2003 March and April. The data were taken in 126 separate pointings, each observed for ~ 5 ks. The CIAO 3.0.2 wavelet detection algorithm (wavdetect; Freeman et al. 2002) was used to detect X-ray sources in the total (0.5 - 7.0 keV) band data. A probability threshold of 5 x 10-5 was chosen as the best compromise between maximizing the completeness while minimizing the number of spurious detections. The X-ray catalog comprises 3293 unique X-ray sources with >= 4 counts in the total-band images (Paper II). The authors expect only ~ 35 of these sources to be spurious in the full survey (Paper II). For the matching with cataloged optical counterparts, the authors only considered the 3213 X-ray sources that overlap with the NDWFS area. The authors include all multiply matched sources with >1% probability of being the correct optical counterpart. This table contains the X-ray and optical characteristics of the matched optical/X-ray catalog for the Chandra sources in the XBootes and NDWFS survey, and is Version 1.0, dated 21st June 2005. This table was created in November 2006 by the HEASARC based on the file xbootes_cat_xray_opt_IR_21jun_v1.0.txt obtained from the NOAO ftp area <a href="https://www.noao.edu/noao/noaodeep/XBootesPublic/">https://www.noao.edu/noao/noaodeep/XBootesPublic/</a>.

- XBOOTES: NDWFS Bootes Field X-Ray Point Source Catalog

- Description:
- The XBootes table contains the X-Ray point source catalog from a Chandra survey of the 9 square degrees Bootes field of the NOAO Deep Wide-Field Survey (NDWFS). This XBootes survey consists of 126 separate contiguous ACIS-I observations each of approximately 5000 s in duration. These unique Chandra observations allowed the authors to search for large-scale structure and to calculate X-ray source statistics over a wide, contiguous field of view with arcsecond angular resolution and uniform coverage. Optical spectroscopic follow-up observations and the rich NDWFS data set will allow the authors to identify and classify these X-ray-selected sources. Using wavelet decomposition, they have detected 4642 point sources with n >= 2 counts. In order to keep their detections ~ 99% reliable, they have limited their list to sources with n >= 4 counts. For a 5000 s observation and assuming a canonical unabsorbed active galactic nucleus (AGN) type X-ray spectrum, a 4 count on-axis source corresponds to a flux of 4.7 x 10<sup>-15</sup> ergs cm<sup>-2</sup> s<sup>-1</sup> in the soft (0.5-2 keV) band, 1.5 x 10<sup>-14</sup> ergs cm<sup>-2</sup> s<sup>-1</sup> in the hard (2-7 keV) band, and 7.8 x 10<sup>-15</sup> ergs cm<sup>-2</sup> s<sup>-1</sup> in the full (0.5-7 keV) band. The full 0.5-7 keV band n >= 4 count list contained in this HEASARC table has 3293 point sources. In addition to the point sources, 43 extended sources (not included in this HEASARC table) have been detected, consistent with the depth of these observations and the number counts of clusters. Presented here in the X-ray point source catalog for the XBootes survey are the source positions, X-ray fluxes, hardness ratios, and their uncertainties, for the 3293 sources with >= 4 counts in the full band. This table was created by the HEASARC in February 2006 based on the machine-readable version of Table 3 in the above paper which was obtained from the electronic ApJ website.

- Title:
- XC1 catalogue of positions and proper motions
- Short Name:
- I/302
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present the astrometric catalogue of faint reference stars in 255deg^2^ sized fields with ICRF objects of northern hemisphere. The XC1 is based on our results of measurements and astrometric reduction of digitized images of Schmidt plates POSS-I and POSS-II sky surveys obtained from USNOFS PMM Image Archive. The Tycho-2 (Cat. <I/259>) catalogue was used as a reference catalogue for astrometric reductions. The mean positions and proper motions of stars were derived from their individual positions at the different epochs. For some stars the 2MASS (Cat. <II/246>) positions were used also. The limiting magnitude is about V=19mag. The estimated external errors are 50-150mas in positions at mean epoch, and 2-5mas/yr in proper motions, depending on magnitude. The catalog is present as a set of individual fields in separate files. The name of each file is the ERS designation of corresponding ICRF radio source.
