- Fifth IBIS/ISGRI Soft Gamma-Ray Survey Catalog
- Short Name:
- IBISCAT
- Date:
- 18 Apr 2025
- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- This table contains an all-sky soft gamma-ray source catalog based on IBIS observations performed during the first 1000 orbits of INTEGRAL. The database for the construction of the source list consists of all good-quality data available, from the launch of INTEGRAL in 2002, up to the end of 2010. This corresponds to ~ 110 Ms of scientific public observations, with a concentrated coverage on the Galactic Plane and extragalactic deep exposures. This new catalog includes 939 sources above a 4.5-sigma significance threshold detected in the 17-100 keV energy band, of which 120 sources represent previously undiscovered soft gamma-ray emitters. The source positions are determined, mean fluxes are provided in two main energy bands, and these are both reported together with the overall source exposure. Indicative levels of variability are provided, and outburst times and durations are given for transient sources. In the reference paper, a comparison is made with previous IBIS catalogs and catalogs from other similar missions. This database table, the Fifth IBIS/ISGRI source catalog, was ingested by the HEASARC in September 2016 based on the machine-readable version of Table 2 of the above-cited paper, which was obtained from the CDS website. It replaced the previous (fourth) version. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

- Title:
- First AGILE Catalog of High-Confidence Gamma-Ray Sources
- Short Name:
- AGILECAT
- Date:
- 18 Apr 2025
- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- This table contains the first catalog of high-confidence gamma-ray sources detected by the AGILE satellite during observations performed from July 9, 2007 to June 30, 2008. Cataloged sources were detected by merging all the available data over the entire time period. AGILE, launched in April 2007, is an Italian Space Agency (ASI) mission devoted to gamma-ray observations in the 30 MeV - 50 GeV energy range, with simultaneous X-ray imaging capability in the 18 - 60 keV band. This catalog is based on Gamma-Ray Imaging Detector (GRID) data for energies greater than 100 MeV. For the first AGILE catalog, the authors adopted a conservative analysis, with a high-quality event filter optimized to select gamma-ray events within the central zone of the instrument field of view (radius of 40 degrees). This is a significance-limited (4-sigma) catalog, and it is not a complete flux-limited sample due to the non-uniform first-year AGILE sky coverage. The catalog includes 47 sources, 21 of which are associated with confirmed or candidate pulsars, 13 with blazars (7 flat-spectrum radio quasars [FSRQ], 4 BL Lacs, 2 unknown type), 2 with HMXRBs, 2 with SNRs, 1 with a colliding-wind binary system, and 8 with unidentified sources. This table was created by the HEASARC in March 2010 based on <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/A+A/506/1563">CDS catalog J/A+A/506/1563</a> file table3.dat.

- First Byurakan Survey Blue Stellar Objects Catalog
- Short Name:
- FBSBSOCAT
- Date:
- 18 Apr 2025
- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- Eleven lists of blue stellar objects (BSOs) found in the First Byurakan Survey (FBS) low-dispersion spectroscopic plates were published in the journal Astrophysics in the period 1990-1996, The selection was carried out in the region with declinations +33 deg. < delta < +45 deg. and delta > +61 degrees with a surface area of 4000 square degrees. As a result, the present catalog of the FBS blue stellar objects (BSOs) has been compiled. Its preliminary version has been available at CDS since 1999. The author has revised and updated the FBS BSOs catalog with the new data from recently published optical and multi-wavelength catalogs to give access to all available data and make further comparative studies of the properties of these objects possible. The author has made cross-correlations of the FBS BSOs catalog with the MAPS , USNO-B1.0, SDSS, and 2MASS catalogs, as well as with ROSAT, IRAS, NVSS, and FIRST catalogs , added updated SIMBAD and NED data for the objects, and provided accurate DSS1 and DSS2 positions and revised photometry. The author also checked the objects for proper motion and variability. A refined classification for the low-dispersion spectra in the Digitized First Byurakan Survey (DFBS) was carried out. The revised and updated catalog of 1103 FBS blue stellar objects is presented here. (The catalog in fact contains 1101 objects, as 2 pairs of objects turned to be identical; however, the author has kept all objects in the list on order to allow users to enter and find objects by all accepted FBS names). The FBS blue stellar objects catalog can be used to study a complete sample of white dwarfs, hot sub-dwarfs, horizontal-branch B (HBB) stars, cataclysmic variables, bright AGN, and to investigate individual interesting objects. This table was created by the HEASARC in October 2008 based on the CDS table III/258 file fbs.dat. This latter catalog supersedes the previous edition (Abrahamian et al. 1999, <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/II/223">CDS Cat. II/223</a>) This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

- First Byurakan Survey (Markarian) Catalog of UV-Excess Galaxies
- Short Name:
- Markarian
- Date:
- 18 Apr 2025
- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- A catalog of galaxies with UV-continuum (Markarian galaxies) detected during the First Byurakan Survey (FBS) is presented. The purpose of the FBS was to search for peculiar faint extragalactic objects with UV-excess radiation and to study them. The procedure of observations and processing, the FBS areas, the object selection and classification criteria and also several selection effects are described in the reference. The catalog contains the following initial data on all the objects: the precise coordinates, visual magnitudes, angular sizes, redshifts and classification types. The observational results of slit spectra, UBV-photometry, IR-photometry (IRAS data), morphology and some other data are also included in the catalog. While compiling the catalog, the authors introduced some necessary corrections in the data of the earlier published lists on galaxies with UV-continuum excesses. In addition, the authors included the objects with numbers 1501-1515. In most cases, they are well-known Seyfert galaxies omitted by the authors in the lists, but detected on the plates. 48 objects from their lists are not included in the catalog, since they are either stars of our Galaxy or star projections on the galaxies. This catalog presents the largest homogeneous sample of AGN of different types on the northern sky for bright objects (apparent magnitude < 16.0). Up to the middle of 1987 redshifts were measured for 1459 out of 1469 objects in the catalog. This table was created by the HEASARC in November 2009 based on the electronic version of the First Byurakan Survey (Markarian galaxies catalog) which was obtained from the CDS (their catalog VII/172 file table7.dat). It replaced an earlier version of the 'Markarian Catalog' which was based on the original galaxy lists of Markarian et al. (<a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/VII/61A">CDS catalog VII/61A</a>). This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

- Title:
- FIRST Catalog of FR II Radio Galaxies
- Short Name:
- FRIICAT
- Date:
- 18 Apr 2025
- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- This table contains a catalog of 123 Fanaroff and Riley class II edge-brightened radio galaxies (FR IIs), called FRIICAT, that has been selected from a published sample obtained by combining observations from the NVSS, FIRST, and SDSS surveys. The catalog includes sources with redshift <=0.15, an edge-brightened radio morphology, and those with at least one of the emission peaks located at a radius r larger than 30 kpc from the center of the host. The radio luminosity at 1.4 GHz of the FRIICAT sources covers the range L<sub>1.4</sub> ~ 10<sup>39.5</sup> - 10<sup>42.5</sup> erg/s. The FRIICAT catalog has 90% of low- and 10% of high-excitation galaxies (LEGs and HEGs), respectively. The properties of these two classes are significantly different. The FRIICAT LEGs are mostly luminous (-20 >~ M<sub>r</sub> >~ -24), red early-type galaxies with black hole masses in the range 10<sup>8</sup> M<sub>sun</sub> <~ M<sub>BH</sub> <~ 10<sup>9</sup> M_sun_; they are essentially indistinguishable from the FR Is belonging to the FRICAT sample (Capetti et al. 2017, A&A, 598, A49: also available as a HEASARC table). The HEG FR IIs are associated with optically bluer and mid-IR redder hosts than the LEG FR IIs and to galaxies and black holes that are smaller, on average, by a factor of ~2. FR IIs have a factor of ~3 higher average radio luminosity than FR Is. Nonetheless, most (~90%) of the selected FR IIs have a radio power that is lower, by as much as a factor of ~100, than the transition value between FR Is and FR IIs found in the 3C sample. The correspondence between the morphological classification of FR I and FR II and the separation in radio power disappears when including sources selected at low radio flux thresholds, which is in line with previous results. In conclusion, a radio source produced by a low-power jet can be edge brightened or edge darkened, and the outcome is not related to differences in the optical properties of the host galaxy. The authors searched for FR II radio galaxies in the sample of 18,286 radio sources built by Best & Heckman (2012, MNRAS, 421, 1569) by limiting their search to the subsample of objects in which, according to these latter authors, the radio emission is produced by an active nucleus. They cross-matched the optical spectroscopic catalogs produced by the group from the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics and Johns Hopkins University (Brinchmann et al. 2004, MNRAS, 351, 1151; Tremonti et al. 2004, ApJ, 613, 898) based on data from the Data Release 7 of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (DR7/SDSS; Abazajian et al. 2009, ApJS, 182, 543) with the National Radio Astronomy Observatory Very Large Array Sky Survey (NVSS; Condon et al. 1998, AJ, 115, 1693, <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/VIII/65">CDS Cat. VIII/65</a>) and the Faint Images of the Radio Sky at Twenty centimeters survey (FIRST; Becker et al. 1995, ApJ, 450, 559; Helfand et al. 2015, ApJ, 801, 26, <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/VIII/92">CDS Cat. VIII/92</a>) adopting a radio flux density limit of 5 mJy in the NVSS. The authors focused on those sources with redshift z < 0.15. The majority (108) of the selected FR IIs are classified as LEG, but there are also 14 HEG and just one source that cannot be classified spectroscopically because of the lack of emission lines, namely SDSS J144625.13+214209.8. Throughout this study, the authors adopted a cosmology with H<sub>0</sub> = 67.8 km s<sup>-1</sup> Mpc<sup>-1</sup>, Omega<sub>M</sub> = 0.308, and Omega<sub>Lambda</sub> = 0.692 (Planck Collaboration XIII 2016, A&A, 594, A13).

- FIRST Catalog of FR I Radio Galaxies
- Short Name:
- FRICAT
- Date:

- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- The authors have built a catalog of 219 Fanaroff and Riley class I edge-darkened radio galaxies (FR Is), called FRICAT, that is selected from a published sample and obtained by combining observations from the NVSS, FIRST, and SDSS surveys. They included in the catalog the sources with an edge-darkened radio morphology, redshift <= 0.15, and extending (at the sensitivity of the FIRST images) to a radius r larger than 30 kpc from the center of the host. The authors also selected an additional sample (sFRICAT) of 14 smaller (10 < r < 30 kpc) FR Is, limiting to z < 0.05. The hosts of the FRICAT sources are all luminous (-21 >~ M<sub>r</sub> >~ 24), red early-type galaxies with black hole masses in the range 10<sup>8</sup> <~ M<sub>BH</sub> <~ 3 x 10<sup>9</sup> solar masses); the spectroscopic classification based on the optical emission line ratios indicates that they are all low excitation galaxies. Sources in the FRICAT are then indistinguishable from the FR Is belonging to the Third Cambridge Catalogue of Radio Sources (3C) on the basis of their optical properties. Conversely, while the 3C-FR Is show a strong positive trend between radio and [O III] emission line luminosity, these two quantities are unrelated in the FRICAT sources; at a given line luminosity, they show radio luminosities spanning about two orders of magnitude and extending to much lower ratios between radio and line power than 3C-FR Is. The authors' main conclusion is that the 3C-FR Is represent just the tip of the iceberg of a much larger and diverse population of FR Is. This HEASARC table contains both the 219 radio galaxies in the main FRICAT sample listed in Table B.1 of the reference paper and the 14 radio galaxies in the additional sFRICAT sample listed in Table B.2 of the reference paper. To enable users to distinguish from which sample an entry has been taken, the HEASARC created a parameter galaxy_sample which is set to 'M' for galaxies from the main sample, and to 'S' for galaxies from the supplementary sFRICAT sample. Throughout the paper, the authors adopted a cosmology with H<sub>0</sub> = 67.8 km s<sup>-1</sup> Mpc<sup>-1</sup>, Omega<sub>M</sub> = 0.308, and Omega<sub>Lambda</sub> = 0.692 (Planck Collaboration XIII 2016). This table was created by the HEASARC in February 2017 based on electronic versions of Tables B.1 and B.2 that were obtained from the Astronomy & Astrophysics website.

- First DENIS I-band Extragalactic Catalog
- Short Name:
- DENIS/I
- Date:
- 18 Apr 2025
- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- This database contains the release of the provisional extragalactic catalog constructed from the "Deep Near Infrared Southern Sky Survey" (DENIS) and is sometimes referred to as REDCAT (Rapid Extraction from DENIS Catalog). It was created using an automatic galaxy recognition program based on a discriminating analysis, the efficiency of which is estimated to be better than 99%. The nominal accuracy for galaxy coordinates calculated with the Guide Star Catalog is about 6 arcseconds. The cross-identification with galaxies available in the Lyon-Meudon Extragalactic DAtabase (LEDA) allows a calibration of the I-band photometry with the sample of Mathewson et al. (1992, ApJS, 81, 413) and Mathewson and Ford (1996, ApJS, 107, 97). Thus, the catalog contains total I-band magnitude, isophotal diameter, axis ratio, position angle and a rough estimate of the morphological type code for 20620 galaxies. The internal completeness of this catalog reaches a limiting I-band magnitude of 14.5, with a photometric accuracy of 0.18 mag. 25% of the Southern sky has been processed in this study. This database was created by the HEASARC in July 1999 based on a machine-readable version that was obtained form the CDS Data Center. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

- First Galactic Plane Survey at 8.35 and 14.35 GHz
- Short Name:
- GP8.35/14.35
- Date:
- 18 Apr 2025
- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- This table contains results from the first Galactic Plane (GP) Survey at 8.35 and 14.35 GHz (3.6 and 2.1 cm). In this project, the first images of the GP in the galactic latitude range |b| < 5 degrees and the galactic longitude range -15 degrees < l < 255 degrees at 8.35 and 14.35 GHz were presented. These observations used the National Radio Astronomy Observatory-NASA Green Bank Earth Station to survey the sky simultaneously at these two frequencies. These GPA data are the first results from the GP Survey observations, a program to monitor this portion of the sky at 8.35 and 14.35 GHz. The GP Survey series is intended to detect short-lived radio sources. In their published paper, the authors presented four independent observations of the Galactic plane, combined to provide a set of reference images of the Galactic plane. This first GPA survey covers 0.82 steradian (6.5%) of the sky. This table conatins a source list of all sources which were brighter than 0.9 Jy at 8.35 GHz and also of all sources brighter than 2.5 Jy at 14.35 GHz. The FITS format images, residual images, source lists, and archive data are available over the internet at <a href="http://www.gb.nrao.edu/~glangsto/GPA">http://www.gb.nrao.edu/~glangsto/GPA</a> .

- Fornax A (NGC 1316) Chandra X-Ray Source Catalog
- Short Name:
- FORNAXACXO
- Date:
- 18 Apr 2025
- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- This table contains some of the results from a Chandra ACIS sub-arcsecond resolution X-ray observation of the archetypal merger radio galaxy NGC 1316 (Fornax A). The authors detect 81 point sources within the 25th magnitude isophotal ellipse D<sub>25</sub> of NGC 1316 (L<sub>X</sub> in the range of 2 x 10<sup>37</sup> to 8 x 10<sup>39</sup> ergs s<sup>-1</sup>), with hard (kT ~ 5 keV) X-ray spectra, typical of X-ray binaries, and a spatial radial distribution consistent with that of the optical (i.e., stellar) surface brightness. In the reference paper, they derive the X-ray luminosity function (XLF) of these sources, correcting for the incompleteness at the faint end caused by the presence of the diffuse emission from the hot ISM in the central regions of NGC 1316 and by the widening of the Chandra point-spread functions at increasing distance from the aim point. With these corrections, the XLF is well reproduced by a single unbroken power law with a slope of -1.3 down to their threshold luminosity of ~ 3 x 10<sup>37</sup> ergs s<sup>-1</sup>. NGC 1316 was observed for 30 ks on 2001 April 17 (ObsID 2022), with the Chandra Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer (ACIS). The authors used the back-illuminated (BI) CCD S3 (CCD ID 7) because of its sensitivity at low energies. To include NGC 1317 (6.3 arcminutes away from NGC 1316) in the same S3 chip, a small offset was applied to the SIM (Science Instrument Module) position. NGC 1316 was kept close to on-axis to achieve the best spatial resolution. To detect X-ray sources, the authors used WAVDETECT, a wavelet detection algorithm available in CIAO. They set the WAVDETECT significance threshold parameter to be 10<sup>-6</sup>, which corresponds to 1 possibly spurious source, and the scale parameter to cover seven steps between 1 and 64 pixels. This made them sensitive to sources ranging from point-like to 32 arcseconds in size, and in particular accommodates the variation of the point-spread function (PSF) as a function of the off-axis angle of the sources. To extract source properties (such as count rates, spectra, etc.), the authors used the 95% encircled energy (at 1.5 keV) radius centered at the WAVDETECT centroid, with a minimum of 3 arcseconds to accommodate the radial variation of he PSF. Background counts were determined locally for each source from an annulus from 2 to 5 times the source radius, after excluding nearby sources. Extended sources were found at the locations of NGC 1316 and NGC 1317. In addition, the Chandra observations reveal 94 sources (the HEASARC notes that 95 are contained in this table), 83 of them in CCD S3. Of these, 81 sources (77 in S3 and 4 in S2) are within the D<sub>25</sub> ellipse. The source density increases toward the center of NGC 1316, indicating that most of them are related to NGC 1316. Three sources are found within the D<sub>25</sub> ellipse of NGC 1317, with the brightest, extended one at the center of NGC 1317. The list of detected sources also includes sources found on CCDs other than S3 (CCD number 7). After correcting for effective exposure and vignetting, the X-ray flux in the 0.3 - 8.0 keV band is calculated with an energy conversion factor (ECF) assuming a power-law source spectrum with a slope of 1.7 and N<sub>H</sub> = 3 x 10<sup>20</sup> cm<sup>-2</sup>; ECF = 6.037 x 10<sup>-12</sup> erg cm<sup>-2</sup> s<sup>-1</sup> ergs per 1 count s<sup>-1</sup> for the back-illuminated (BI) chips and 9.767 x 10<sup>-12</sup> ergs per 1 count s<sup>-1</sup> for the front-illuminated (FI) CCD chips. With the adopted distance of 18.6 Mpc, the X-ray luminosities of the point sources range from ~ 2 x 10<sup>37</sup> to ~ 8 x 10<sup>39</sup> erg s<sup>-1</sup>. This table was created by the HEASARC in July 2014 based on <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/ApJ/586/826">CDS Catalog J/ApJ/586/826</a> file table1.dat.

- Fornax Dwarf Galaxy XMM-Newton X-Ray Point Source Catalog
- Short Name:
- FORNAXXMM
- Date:
- 18 Apr 2025
- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- This table contains some of the results of a deep archive XMM-Newton observation of the Fornax spheroidal galaxy that the authors analyzed with the aim of fully characterizing the X-ray source population (in most of the cases likely to be background active galactic nuclei) detected towards the target. A cross-correlation with the available databases allowed them to find a source that may be associated with a variable star belonging to the galaxy. The authors also searched for X-ray sources in the vicinity of the Fornax globular clusters GC 3 and GC 4 and found two sources probably associated with the respective clusters. The deep X-ray observation was also suitable for the search for the intermediate-mass black hole (of mass ~ 10<sup>4</sup> solar masses) expected to be hosted in the center of the galaxy. In the case of Fornax, this search is extremely difficult since the galaxy centroid of gravity is poorly constrained because of the large asymmetry observed in the optical surface brightness. Since the authors cannot firmly establish the existence of an X-ray counterpart of the putative black hole, they put constraints only on the accretion parameters. In particular, they found that the corresponding upper limit on the accretion efficiency, with respect to the Eddington luminosity, is as low as a few 10<sup>-5</sup>. This table was created by the HEASARC in February 2013 based on an electronic version of Table 1 from the reference paper which was obtained from the A&A web site.
