- Title:
- First Byurakan Survey Blue Stellar Objects Catalog
- Short Name:

- 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 .

- Title:
- HEASARC Object Classifications
- Short Name:
- CLASS
- Date:
- 07 Mar 2025
- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- This section describes the "class" parameter, which is included in many tables in the HEASARC database. It can be used to select objects according to their classifications. Each object is assigned a four digit numeric code to represent its object classification. The first digit describes the global classification (e.g., AGN or star). The following digits assign further classifications or properties such as spectral type, or type of AGN. Each sub-class is chosen to contain a unique set of properties. For example, all normal (non-degenerate) stars have the first digit set to 2. The second digit for stars indicates the spectral type (O, B, etc.), the third digit the numerical sub-type, and the last digit the luminosity class; thus, a G5V star will have the class code of 2555. All stars later (cooler) than F0 have a "class" number between 2400 and 2999. As another example, all AGN have class codes that lie between 7000 and 7999; a search by class for AGN would thus be made by doing a search of the class parameter with the range set from 7000 to 7999. It should be emphasized that the class assignments of the same source found in different databases may not always be identical, and, for any given database, the class codes may not always be present, correct, or complete: see the database help for the particular database in question to determine how the class codes were constructed. ALWAYS USE THE CLASS CODES WITH THESE CAVEATS IN MIND. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

- High Energy Astrophysics Comprehensive Bibliography Catalog
- Short Name:
- HEABIB
- Date:
- 07 Mar 2025
- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- This bibliographic catalog is created by essentially matching scientific publications archived in the ADS with specific observations archived in the HEASARC. The papers can be refereed, unrefereed, or even arXiv preprints that have already been accepted or initially submitted for publication. Each observation in HEASARC's database tables has an ID parameter and each publication has a unique bibliographic reference code (bibcode), allowing a specific match to be made. The information in this table comes from correspondence from the author. This table is updated automatically shortly after the data is received. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

- Messier Nebulae
- Short Name:
- Messier
- Date:

- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- The Messier Catalog of bright, extended objects was compiled by the comet-hunter Charles Messier in the 18th century. It comprised a list of 110 objects which are mostly brighter than 10th magnitude and have angular sizes from 1 to 100 arcminutes. M 102 is now generally considered to be spurious, and the object so named was actually M 101. Hence this electronic version of the Messier Catalog contains only 109 objects. The objects in the Messier Catalog are predominantly star clusters in our Milky Way galaxy, with 29 of them being globular clusters, 27 open clusters; the rest are spiral galaxies (27), elliptical galaxies (11), diffuse and planetary nebulae (10), and miscellaneous objects (5). All of the objects in the Messier Catalog are north of -35 degrees declination. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

- Millions of Optical Radio/X-Ray (MORX) Associations Catalog, Version 2
- Short Name:
- MORX
- Date:

- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- 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.

- NGC2000.0: Complete New General Catalog and Index Catalog
- Short Name:
- NGC
- Date:
- 07 Mar 2025
- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- NGC 2000.0 is a modern compilation of the New General Catalogue of Nebulae and Clusters of Stars (NGC), the Index Catalogue (IC), and the Second Index Catalogue compiled by J. L. E. Dreyer (1888, 1895, 1908). The new compilation of these classical catalogs is intended to meet the needs of present-day observers by reporting positions at equinox 2000.0 and by incorporating the corrections reported by Dreyer himself and by a host of other astronomers who have worked with the data and compiled lists of errata. The object types given are those known to modern astronomy. This catalog is copyrighted by Sky Publishing Corporation, which has kindly deposited the machine-readble version in the data centers for permanent archiving and dissemination to astronomers for scientific research purposes only.
