- Description:
- The Millions of Optical Radio/X-ray Associations (MORX) catalog combines all of the largest published optical, radio, and X-ray sky catalogs to find probable radio/X-ray associations with optical objects, plus double radio lobes, using uniform processing against all input data. This catalog contains 3,115,575 optical objects. Each object has optical coordinates (of the epoch of its photometry), its original name (if any), object class, red and blue optical magnitudes, PSF class, redshift (if any), the citations for the name and redshift, and the likelihoods of the radio/X-ray associations and that the object (if unclassified) should be a QSO, galaxy, or star. Each object may have up to four X-ray identifiers, up to five radio identifiers, and up to two double radio lobe identifiers. MORX is a compendium of optical objects which are calculated as being associated with Chandra, XMM-Newton, Swift, or ROSAT X-ray sources, or with NVSS, FIRST, VLASS, LoTSS, RACS, or SUMSS radio sources or double radio lobes. All have likelihoods in the range of 40-100% confidence in their associations. The counts of the associations for this main sample are as follows: <pre> Optical objects (rows in this catalog) - 3,115,575 Chandra - 102,652 X-ray associations XMM-Newton - 263,649 X-ray associations Swift - 120,647 X-ray associations ROSAT - 31,750 X-ray associations XMM Slew - 11,428 X-ray associations VLASS - 439,283 core radio associations, plus 15,763 double radio lobes(*). LoTSS - 1,804,886 core radio associations, plus 73,142 double radio lobes. RACS - 582,668 core radio associations, plus 12,009 double radio lobes. FIRST - 275,552 core radio associations, plus 9000 double radio lobes. NVSS - 316,039 core radio associations, plus 675 double radio lobes. SUMSS - 47,549 core radio associations, plus 42 double radio lobes. </pre> (*) Lobe pairs are presented once only, so not from multiple radio surveys. MORX and <a href="/W3Browse/all/milliquas.html">Milliquas</a> are extracted from the same master data pool. All data quality rules pertaining to Milliquas also hold for MORX.

- Title:
- MIT/Amsterdam M 31 Survey
- Short Name:
- M31Stars/deep
- Date:
- 07 Mar 2025
- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- The MIT/Amsterdam M 31 Survey, or the Extended Magnier et al. Catalog of Objects in the Field of M 31, is based on deep BVRI CCD photometry that was performed on a 1 square degree region of M 31. The observations were made between September 12 and September 27 1990, using the McGraw-Hill 1.3m telescope at the Michigan-Dartmouth-MIT (MDM) observatory at Kitt Peak. The catalogue has typical completeness limits of 20.7 (Bmag), 21.7 (Vmag), 20.2 (Rmag) and 20.5 (Imag), although there is a large region in the inner disk for which the completeness limits are substantially deeper: 22.3 (Bmag), 22.2 (Vmag), 22.2 (Rmag), and 20.9 (Imag). The photometric accuracy is about 2% at Vmag = 19. The final astrometric calibrations take into account the systematic error discovered in the Berkhuijsen et al. (1988, A&AS, 76, 65) catalog by Magnier et al. (1993, A&A, 272, 695). They are in the J2000 system and are eventually tied to the HST Guide Star Catalog. The final photometric calibrations are tied via the NGC 206 region to photometry taken at the Michigan-Dartmouth-MIT (MDM) 1.3m in September and October 1993. These are tied to the Landolt (1992, AJ, 104, 340) system of standard stars, and are in the Johnson-Kron-Cousins system (BVRcIc). This version of the MIT/Amsterdam M31 Survey Catalog was created at the HEASARC in March 1999 based on the CDS/ADC Catalogue II/208. The HEASARC revised this version in February 2001.

- Description:
- The MIT-Green Bank 5 GHz Survey Catalog was produced from four separate surveys with the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) 91m transit telescope, the results from which were presented in papers by Bennett et al., 1986ApJS...61....1B (MG1), Langston et al., 1990ApJS...72..621L (MG2), Griffith et al., 1990ApJS...74..129G (MG3), and Griffith et al. 1991ApJS...75..801G (MG4). The sky coverage of the various surveys is: <pre> 00h < RAB < 24h, -00d30'13" < DECB < +19d29'47" for MG1 04h < RAJ < 21h, +17.0d < DECJ < +39d09' for MG2 16h30m < RAB < 05h, +17d < DECB < +39d09' for MG3 15h30m < RAB < 02h30m, +37.00d < DECB < +50d58'48" for MG4 </pre> where RAB and DECB refer to B1950 coordinates, and RAJ and DECJ refer to J2000 coordinates. The catalog contains 20344 sources detected with a signal-to-noise ratio greater than 5 and 3836 possible detections (MG1) with a signal-to-noise ratio less than 5. Spectral indices are computed for MG1 sources also identified in the Texas 365 MHz survey (Douglas et al. 1980, Univ. Texas Pub. Astr. No. 17), and for MG1-MG4 sources also identified in the NRAO 1400 MHz Survey (Condon and Broderick 1985, AJ, 90, 2540 = 1985AJ.....90.2540C). This online catalog was created by the HEASARC in October 2003 based on <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/VIII/52B">CDS catalog VIII/52B</a> (the file mgcat.dat).

- Molonglo Galactic Plane Survey 2nd Epoch Compact Source Catalog
- Short Name:
- MGPS2
- Date:
- 07 Mar 2025
- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- This table contains the Molonglo Galactic Plane Survey 2nd Epoch (MGPS-2) Compact Source Catalog. The MGPS-2 was carried out with the Molonglo Observatory Synthesis Telescope (MOST) at a frequency of 843 MHz and with a restoring beam of 45" x 45" cosec |(delta)|, where delta is the declination, making it the highest resolution large-scale radio survey of the southern Galactic plane to date. It covers the range |b| < 10 degrees and 245 < l < 365 degrees, where l and b are the Galactic longitude and latitude, and is the Galactic counterpart to the SUMSS (<a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/VIII/81">CDS Cat. VIII/81</a>) Catalog which covers that portion of the southern sky with delta < -30 degrees, |b| > 10 degrees. This version of the catalog (15-Aug-2007) consists of 48850 compact sources, made by fitting elliptical Gaussians in the MGPS-2 mosaics to a limiting peak brightness of 10 mJy/beam. The authors used a custom method (described in the associated reference publication) to remove extended sources from the catalog. Positions in the catalog are accurate to 1" - 2". The authors have carried out an analysis of the compact source density across the Galactic plane and find that the source density is not statistically higher than the density expected from the extragalactic source density alone. See <a href="http://www.astrop.physics.usyd.edu.au/mosaics">http://www.astrop.physics.usyd.edu.au/mosaics</a> for access to the MGPS-2 mosaic images. This HEASARC table was created in January 2008 based on <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/MNRAS/382/382">CDS catalog J/MNRAS/382/382</a> file mgpscat.dat.

- Molonglo Observatory Synthesis Telescope ATLAS 843-MHz Source Catalog
- Short Name:
- MOSTATLAS
- Date:
- 07 Mar 2025
- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- At the faintest radio flux densities (S<sub>1.4</sub> < 10 mJy), conflicting results have arisen regarding whether there is a flattening of the average spectral index between a low radio frequency (325 or 610 MHz) and, for example, 1.4 GHz. The authors present a new catalog of 843-MHz radio sources in the European Large Area ISO Survey-South 1 (ELAIS-S1) field, which contains the sources, their Australia Telescope Large Area Survey (ATLAS) counterparts and the spectral index distribution of the sources as a function of flux density. The authors do not find any statistically significant evidence for a trend towards flatter spectral indices with decreasing flux density. In the reference paper, they investigate the spectral index distribution with redshift for those sources with reliable redshifts and explore the infrared properties. An initial sample of faint compact steep-spectrum sources in ATLAS are also presented, with a brief overview of their properties. To obtain low-radio-frequency (843-MHz) data within the ATLAS ELAIS-S1 region (Middelberg et al. 2008, AJ, 135, 1276, the tables from which are available as the ATLASESID and ATLASESCPT tables in the HEASARC database), the authors used the Molonglo Observatory Synthesis Telescope (MOST). They have made 31 separate 12-h observations taken with MOST, which were combined into a single image with a spatial resolution of 62 arcsec x 43 arcsec. This table was created by the HEASARC in January 2013 based on the <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/MNRAS/421/1644">CDS Catalog J/MNRAS/421/1644</a> file table1.dat.

- Monoceros R2 Cloud Chandra X-Ray Point Source Catalog
- Short Name:

- Date:
- 07 Mar 2025
- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- The Monoceros R2 (Mon R2) Cloud X-Ray Point Source Catalog contains the results of the Chandra ACIS-I observation of the central region of this high-mass star-forming region (SFR), which lies at a distance of 830pc. With a deep exposure of ~ 100 ks, the authors detected 368 X-ray sources, ~80% of which were identified with near-infrared (NIR) counterparts. They systematically analyzed the spectra and time variability of most of the X-ray emitting sources and provide a comprehensive X-ray source catalog for the first time. Using the J-, H- and K-bands magnitudes of the NIR counterparts, they have estimated the evolutionary phase, classical T Tauri (CTT) stars and weak-lined T Tauri (WTT) stars, and the masses of the X-ray emitting sources, and have analyzed their X-ray properties as a function of age and mass. They found a marginal hint that CTT stars have a slightly higher temperature (2.4 keV) that of WTT stars (2.0 keV). A significant fraction of the high- and intermediate-mass sources have time variability and high plasma temperatures (2.7 keV) simailar to those of the low-mass stars (2.0 keV). This supports earlier proposals that high- and intermediate-mass young stellar objects emit X-rays via magnetic activity. The authors also found a significant difference in the spatial distribution between X-ray and NIR sources.

- 37-Month MAXI/GSC High Galactic-Latitude Source Catalog
- Short Name:
- MAXIGSCHGL
- Date:
- 07 Mar 2025
- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- This table contains the catalog of high Galactic-latitude (|b| > 10<sup>o</sup>) X-ray sources detected in the first 37 months of data accumulation of the Monitor of All-sky X-ray Image/Gas Slit Camera (MAXI/GSC). To achieve the best sensitivity, the authors developed a background model of the GSC that well reproduced the data based on the detailed on-board calibration. Source detection was performed through image fits with a Poisson likelihood algorithm. The catalog contains 500 objects detected with significances >= 7 in the 4-10 keV band. The limiting sensitivity is ~7.5 x 10<sup>-12</sup> erg cm<sup>-2</sup> s<sup>-1</sup> ( ~0.6 mCrab) in the 4-10 KeV band for 50% of the survey area, which is the highest ever achieved in an all-sky survey mission covering this energy band. In their paper, the authors summarize the statistical properties of the catalog and results from cross-matching with the Swift/BAT 70-month catalog (BAT70), the meta-catalog of X-ray detected clusters of galaxies (MCXC), and the MAXI/GSC 7-month catalog (GSC7). This catalog lists the source name (2MAXI), the position and its error, the detection significances and fluxes in the 4-10 keV and 3-4 keV bands, the hardness ratio, and the basic information on the likely counterpart (the latter available for 296 of the sources). This table was created by the HEASARC in September 2013 based on the electronic version of Table 1 from the reference paper which was obtained from The ApJS web site.

- Morphological Galaxy Catalog
- Short Name:
- MCG
- Date:

- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- The MCG database contains the "Morphological Catalogue of Galaxies," a compilation of information for approximately 34,000 galaxies found and examined on the Palomar Observatory Sky Survey (POSS). Individual identifiers are assigned for about 29,000 galaxies and information on the remaining 5,000 is present in the extensive notes of the published catalogs (Vorontsov-Velyaminov et al. 1962-1968). The catalog is structured according to the POSS zones and is numbered from +15 (corresponding to +90 deg) to +01 (+06 deg zone) and +00 (equatorial zone) to -05 (-30 deg zone); the fields are numbered with increasing right ascension. The original goal of the compilation was to be complete for galaxies brighter than magnitude 15.1, but the final catalog lists many objects considerably fainter. Information given in the original printed volumes includes: cross- identifications to the NGC (Dreyer 1888) and IC (Dreyer 1895, 1908) catalogs, equatorial coordinates for 1950.0, magnitude, estimated sizes and intensities of the bright inner region and the entire object, estimated inclination, and coded description (by symbols) of the appearance of the galaxy. Each field is then followed by notes on individual objects. All of the above data except the coded description are included in the machine version, except that special coding (e.g. for uncertainty or source designation) is not present (other than for the NGC/IC cross identifications [added at the Astronomical Data Center for this machine version]). Although the notes are not computerized, the presence of a note in the original is flagged in the machine version Detailed descriptions of modifications, corrections and the record format are provided for the machine-readable version of the "Morphological Catalogue of Galaxies" (Vorontsov-Velyaminov et al. 1962-68); see the Additional Information section below. In addition to hundreds of individual corrections, a detailed comparison of the machine-readable with the published catalog resulted in the addition of 116 missing objects, the deletion of 10 duplicate records, and a format modification to increase storage efficiency.
