- Description:
- We present the observations of the ROSAT all-sky survey (RASS) in the direction of the Chamaeleon cloud complex, as well as the spectroscopic identifications of the detected X-ray sources. The main purpose of this identification program was the search for low mass pre-main sequence stars. Sixteen previously known PMS stars were detected with high confidence by ROSAT. Eight are classical T Tauri stars and eight are weak-line T Tauri stars. Seventy-seven new weak-line T Tauri stars were identified on the basis of the presence of strong Li {lambda}6707 absorption, spectral type later than F0 and chromospheric emission. We give coordinates and count rates of the X-ray sources, and present optical spectra and finding charts for the sources identified optically as new pre-main sequence stars. Optical UBV(RI)c and near-infrared JHKLM photometry for this sample of stars is also provided. In addition, 6 new dKe-dMe candidates are found among the RASS sources.

- Description:
- We have compiled a sample of all quasars with measured radio emission from the Veron-Cetty - Veron catalogue (1993, VV93 <VII/166>) detected by ROSAT in the ALL-SKY SURVEY (RASS, Voges 1992), as targets of pointed observations, or as serendipitous sources from pointed observations as publicly available from the ROSAT point source catalogue (ROSAT-SRC, Voges et al. 1995). The total number of ROSAT detected radio quasars from the above three sources is 654 objects. 69 of the objects are classified as radio-quiet using the defining line at a radio-loudness of 1.0, and 10 objects have no classification. The 5GHz data are from the 87GB radio survey, the NED database, or from the Veron-Cetty - Veron catalogue. The power law indices and their errors are estimated from the two hardness ratios given by the SASS assuming Galactic absorption. The X-ray flux densities in the ROSAT band (0.1-2.4keV) are calculated from the count rates using the energy to counts conversion factor for power law spectra and Galactic absorption. For the photon index we use the value obtained for a individual source if the estimated 1 sigma error is smaller than 0.5, otherwise we use the mean value 2.14.

- Description:
- We present the broad band, radio - to - X-ray, properties of a large sample of mostly previously optically unidentified radio-loud X-ray sources from the correlation of a ROSAT All-Sky Survey source list with the 5GHz Green Bank Survey of the northern sky (RGB sample) which is one of the largest well-defined flux-limited surveys of AGN ever obtained. Further, the RGB pushes 1-2 orders of magnitude deeper in both X-ray and radio flux compared to previous unbiased wide-area AGN surveys. Follow up VLA observations of the candidate objects yielded positions with arcsec accuracy which were used to find optical counterparts to the sources from digitized POSS plates. The sources are divided into three classes according to the positional offset between the X-ray and radio candidates and the spatial resolution of the radio observations, reflecting the various degrees of confidence about the correctness of the proposed association. Although the nature of the sources as well as their redshifts remain to be determined in spectroscopic follow up observations, the derived flux ratios lead to the conclusion that the majority of them are quasars. Hardly any correlations could be found between different source parameters, possibly due to the fact that most of the objects are found in a relatively small flux range near the sensitivity limit of the radio catalogue. The majority of the new RGB sources have broad-band properties between those of traditional radio-selected and X-ray selected AGN. There is no bimodal distribution in the radio-loudness distribution, and the traditional division between radio-quiet and radio-loud AGN may not be warranted.

- Description:
- We have compiled a sample of all radio-quiet quasars or quasars without radio detection from the Veron-Cetty - Veron catalogue (1993, VV93, Cat. <VII/166>) detected by ROSAT in the ALL-SKY SURVEY (RASS, Voges 1992, in Proc. of the ISY Conference `Space Science', ESA ISY-3, ESA Publications, p.9, See Cat. <IX/10>), as targets of pointed observations, or as serendipitous sources from pointed observations publicly available from the ROSAT point source catalogue (ROSAT-SRC, Voges et al. 1995, Cat. <IX/11>). For all sources we used the results of the Standard Analysis Software System (SASS, Voges et al. 1992, in Proc. of the ISY Conference `Space Science', ESA ISY-3, ESA Publications, p.223), employing the most recent processing for the Survey data (RASS-II, Voges et al. 1996, Cat. <IX/10>). The total number of quasars is 846. 69 of the radio-quiet objects with radio detections have already been presented in a previous paper (Brinkmann, Yuan, & Siebert 1997, Cat. <J/A+A/319/413>) using the RASS-I results. 17 objects were found to be radio-loud from recent radio surveys and were marked in the table. When available, the power law photon indices and the corresponding absorption column densities (NH) were estimated from the two hardness ratios given by the SASS, both with free fitted NH and for Galactic absorption. The unabsorbed X-ray flux densities in the ROSAT band (0.1-2.4keV) were calculated from the count rates using the energy to counts conversion factor for power law spectra and Galactic absorption. As the photon index we used the value obtained for the individual source if the estimated 1-{sigma} error is smaller than 0.5, otherwise we used the redshift-dependent mean value (see the paper for details).

- Description:
- The ROSAT Ultra Deep Survey in the Lockman Hole consists of a sample of 94 X-ray sources reaching a limiting flux of 1.2x10-15erg/s/cm^2^ in the 0.5-2.0keV energy band. About 90% of the X-ray sources have been spectroscopically identified using low-resolution Keck spectra.

- Description:
- We present the emission line properties of a sample of 76 bright soft X-ray selected ROSAT Active Galactic Nuclei. All optical counterparts are Seyfert 1 galaxies with rather narrow permitted lines, strong optical FeII line blends, and weak forbidden lines. By selection, they also have steep soft X-ray spectra when compared with typical Seyfert 1 galaxies. We discuss possible origins of these peculiar trends employing detailed correlation analyses, including a Principal Component Analysis. The optical spectra are presented in the Appendix.

- Description:
- Of the more than 1000 QSOs in the Large Bright Quasar Survey (LBQS), we study the X-ray properties of 908 that were covered by the ROSAT All-Sky Survey (RASS). These data constitute among the largest, most homogeneous X-ray surveys of QSOs to date, and as such are well suited to the study of the multiwavelength properties of QSOs. Due to the ~600 s RASS exposure times, only 10% of the QSOs are detected in X-rays. However, by stacking X-ray counts, we obtain effectively much more sensitive observations for an average QSO in bins of redshift or luminosity, and for several classes of QSOs. We confirm a correlation of alpha_ox (slope of a hypothetical power law connecting 2500A and 2keV) with luminosity for the overall sample. For higher redshifts and optical luminosities, radio-loud QSOs appear to become progressively more luminous in X-rays than radio-quiet QSOs. The X-ray properties of a subsample of 36 broad absorption line QSOs suggest that they are strongly absorbed or underluminous in the X-rays, while a subsample of 22 Fe II-strong QSOs is anomalously X-ray bright.
