- Title:
- First Byurakan Survey Blue Stellar Objects Catalog

- 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:
- 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. 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.
