- Title:
- ASCA SIS Source Catalog
- Short Name:
- ASCASIS
- Date:

- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- This preliminary ASCA SIS Source Catalog contains a list of point sources detected by the Solid-state Imaging Spectrometers (SIS) on-board the ASCA Observatory. This catalog was generated by searching for point-like sources in all data available from the HEASARC's ASCA public archive (ASCAPUBLIC) as of 24 Oct 1996; and is populated by both target and serendipitous sources in the SIS field-of-view. For each catalogued source various information is available, which includes the celestial coordinates of the source, the count rate, the significance of detection, and the hardness ratio, total aperture counts, exposure time, and start time of the observation. In addition, a set of three GIF "thumbnail" images is available in the broad (0.5 - 12 keV), soft (2 < keV), and hard (> 2 keV) spectral bands centered on the apparent detection. These images are convenient for accessing the quality of the source detection. The current catalog is preliminary, the goal of the catalog authors being to make the SIS source list available as quickly as possible. To accomplish this, they took an incremental approach and placed their "work in progress" on-line, warts and all. They urge caution in using and citing these preliminary results, as they point out that the information is not, as yet, 100% reliable. This catalog was generated in January 1997 by Drs. Eric Gotthelf and Nicholas White and resulted from their search for point-like sources in all of the then-available SIS data files in the HEASARC's Public ASCA Data Archive as of 24 Oct 1996. The catalog is populated with both targeted and serendipitous sources that were present in the SIS field-of-view. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

- Title:
- ROSAT Complete Results Archive Sources for the HRI
- Short Name:
- ROSAT/HRI
- Date:

- Description:
- The ROSHRITOTAL 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 ROSHRITOTAL database table quickly judge the reliability of a given source. The ROSHRITOTAL database table is a superset of the ROSHRI database table. 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.

- ROSAT Results Archive Sources for the PSPC
- Short Name:
- ROSAT/PSPC
- Date:
- 10 May 2024
- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- 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.
