101. TeV Gamma-Ray Source Catalog
ID:
ivo://nasa.heasarc/tevcat
Title:
TeV Gamma-Ray Source Catalog
Short Name:
TEVCAT
Date:
07 Mar 2025
Publisher:
NASA/GSFC HEASARC
Description:
TeVCat (<a href="http://tevcat.org/">http://tevcat.org/</a>) is an online, interactive catalog for very-high-energy (VHE: energies, E >~ 50 GeV) gamma-ray astronomy. As VHE astronomy continues to grow, the usefulness of a one-stop clearing house for information on new sources is increasingly evident. TeVCat is intended to be such a resource. With sky maps, scientific information, visibility plotters and linked references available at the website, it will help the wider gamma-ray community stay up-to-date and informed on this exciting and rapidly developing field. This HEASARC database table provides the TeVCat list of VHE sources as well as links to the TeV source resource pages on the TeVCat website. The catalog and <a href="http://tevcat.org/">the website at the University of Chicago</a> are maintained by Scott Wakely and Deirdre Horan. This table was first ingested by the HEASARC in July 2017 based on the catalog of VHE gamma-ray sources available at <a href="http://tevcat.org/">http://tevcat.org/</a>. It is updated automatically within a few days of the catalog being updated on the University of Chicago website. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

Publisher:
NASA/GSFC HEASARC
Description:
The VIIth Catalogue of Galactic Population I Wolf-Rayet (WR) Stars provides improved coordinates, spectral types, and bv photometry of known WR stars and adds 71 new stars compared to the VIth Catalog. This census of galactic WR stars has reached 227 stars (226 entries in this catalog), comprising 127 WN stars, 87 WC stars, 10 WN/WC stars, and 3 WO stars. This includes 15 WNL and 11 WCL stars within 30 pc of the Galactic Center. The catalog includes information on periodicity, binarity, terminal wind velocities, correlations with open clusters, OB associations, H I bubbles, H II regions, and ring nebulae, observed and dereddened narrow-band bv photometry, and distances, both heliocentric and galactocentric, and lists the references from which this information was obtained. This catalog was created by the HEASARC in April 2001, based on electronic versions of Tables 13, 14, 15, and 28 from the published paper containing the catalog which were directly supplied to the HEASARC by the author.

108. Tycho-2 Catalog of the 2.5 Million Brightest Stars
ID:
ivo://nasa.heasarc/tycho2
Title:
Tycho-2 Catalog of the 2.5 Million Brightest Stars
Short Name:
Tycho-2
Date:
07 Mar 2025
Publisher:
NASA/GSFC HEASARC
Description:
The Hipparcos and Tycho catalogs are the primary products of the European Space Agency's astrometric mission, Hipparcos. The satellite, which operated for four years, returned high quality scientific data from November 1989 to March 1993. The Tycho-2 catalog is an astrometric reference catalog containing positions and proper motions as well as two-color photometric data for the 2.5 million brightest stars in the sky. The Tycho-2 positions and magnitudes are based on precisely the same observations as the original Tycho catalog (hereafter Tycho-1; see <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/I/239">CDS Cat. I/239</a>) collected by the star mapper of the ESA Hipparcos satellite, but Tycho-2 is much bigger and slightly more precise, owing to a more advanced reduction technique. Components of double stars with separations down to 0.8 arcsec are included. Proper motions precise to about 2.5 mas/yr are given as derived from a comparison with the Astrographic Catalogue and 143 other ground-based astrometric catalogs, all reduced to the Hipparcos celestial coordinate system. Tycho-2 supersedes in most applications Tycho-1, as well as the ACT (<a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/I/246">CDS Cat. I/246</a>) and the TRC (CDS Cat. I/250) catalogs based on Tycho-1. Supplement-1 (not part of this HEASARC database but available at <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/I/259/suppl_1.dat.gz">https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/I/259/suppl_1.dat.gz</a>) lists stars from the Hipparcos and Tycho-1 catalogs which are not in Tycho-2. Supplement-2 (not part of this HEASARC database but available at <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/I/259/suppl_2.dat.gz">https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/I/259/suppl_2.dat.gz</a>) lists 1146 Tycho-1 stars which are probably either false or heavily disturbed. The principal characteristics of the Tycho-2 catalog are summarized below. By means of proper motions the positions are transferred to the year 2000.0, the epoch of the catalog. The median values of internal standard errors are given: <pre> Mean satellite observation epoch ~J1991.5 Epoch of the Tycho-2 catalog J2000.0 Reference system ICRS coincidence with ICRS (1) +/-0.6 mas deviation from inertial (1) +/-0.25 mas/yr Number of entries 2,539,913 Astrometric standard errors (2) V_T < 9 mag 7 mas all stars, positions 60 mas all stars, proper motions 2.5 mas/yr Photometric std. errors (3) on V_T V_T < 9 mag 0.013 mag all stars 0.10 mag Star density b= 0 deg 150 stars/sq.deg. b= +/-30 deg 50 stars/sq.deg. b= +/-90 deg 25 stars/sq.deg. Completeness to 90 per cent V ~ 11.5 mag Completeness to 99 per cent V ~ 11.0 mag Number of Tycho observations ~300 10<sup>6</sup> Note (1): about all 3 axes Note (2): ratio of external to internal standard errors is ~1.0 for positions and for proper motions. Systematic errors are less than 1 mas and 0.5 mas/yr Note (3): ratio of photometric external to internal standard errors at V_T > 9 mag is below 1.5 </pre> For more information on the original catalog, please consult the Tycho-2 home page at <a href="http://www.astro.ku.dk/~erik/Tycho-2">http://www.astro.ku.dk/~erik/Tycho-2</a> For more information on the HEASARC implementation of the Tycho-2 catalog, please consult <a href="#heasarc_implementation">the "HEASARC Implementation" section</a> of this help. This database table was created at the HEASARC in June 2000 based on the ADC/<a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/I/259">CDS Catalog I/259</a>, using the file tyc2.dat. Galactic coordinates (calculated by converting the observed ICRS Equatorial positions) were added to this HEASARC database table in August 2005. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .
109. Ultraluminous X-Ray Sources in External Galaxies Catalog
ID:
ivo://nasa.heasarc/ulxrbcat
Title:
Ultraluminous X-Ray Sources in External Galaxies Catalog
Short Name:
ULXRB
Date:
07 Mar 2025
Publisher:
NASA/GSFC HEASARC
Description:
This table is a catalog of ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) in external galaxies, where ULXs have been defined as compact, off-nuclear X-ray sources with X-ray luminosities in the range of 10<sup>39</sup> - 10<sup>41</sup> erg/s. The aim of this catalog is to provide easy access to the properties of ULXs, their possible counterparts at other wavelengths (optical, IR, and radio), and the properties of their host galaxies. The catalog contains 229 ULXs found in 85 galaxies which had been reported in the astronomy literature as of April 2004. Most ULXs are stellar-mass-black hole X-ray binaries, but it cannot be excluded that some ULXs might be intermediate-mass black holes. A small fraction of the candidate ULXs might be background Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) or Supernova Remnants (SNRs). ULXs with luminosity above 10<sup>40</sup> erg/s are found in both starburst galaxies and in the halos of early-type galaxies. Some notes on individual galaxies and/or ULXs in this catalog can be found in the file <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/A+A/429/1125/notes.dat">https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/A+A/429/1125/notes.dat</a> which is available at the CDS. This table was created by the HEASARC in January 2005, based on CDS tables J/A+A/429/1125/table1a.dat and table1b.dat. It was updated in September 2012 to correct an error in the declination signs of the NGC 253 objects. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

Description:
The USNO-B1.0 Catalogue presents positions, proper motions, magnitudes in various optical passbands, and star/galaxy estimators for 1,045,175,762 objects derived from 3,648,832,040 separate observations. The data were taken from scans of 7,435 Schmidt plates taken from various sky surveys during the last 50 years. The catalogue is expected to be complete down to V=21; the estimated accuracies are 0.2arcsec for the positions at J2000, 0.3mag in up to 5 colors, and 85% accuracy for distinguishing stars from non-stellar objects
