- Description:
- Photometric data from the All-Sky Automatic Survey (ASAS) - South (Declination less than 29 degrees) Survey have been used for the identification of bright stars located near the sources from the ROSAT All Sky Survey Bright Source Catalog (RASSBSC). In total, 6,028 stars brighter than 12.5 magnitude in the I- or the V-bands have been selected and analyzed for periodicity. Altogether, 2,302 variable stars have been found with periods ranging from 0.137 days to 193 days. Most of these stars have X-ray emission of coronal origin, but there are a few cataclysmic binaries and early type stars with colliding winds. Whenever it was possible, the authors collected data available in the literature so as to verify the periods and to classify variable objects. The catalog includes 1,936 stars (1,233 new) considered to be variable due to presence of spots (rotationally variable), 127 detached eclipsing binary stars (33 new), 124 contact binaries (11 new), 96 eclipsing stars with deformed components (19 new), 13 ellipsoidal variables (4 new), 5 miscellaneous variables and one pulsating RR Lyr type star (blended with an eclipsing binary). More than 70% of the new variable stars have amplitudes smaller than 0.1 magnitudes, but for the star ASAS 063656-0521.0 the authors have found the largest known amplitude of brightness variations due to the presence of spots (up to Delta V = 0.8 magnitudes). This table was created by the HEASARC in May 2018, based on <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/AcA/62/67">CDS Catalog J/AcA/62/67</a> files catalog.dat and remarks.dat.

- Title:
- All-Sky Catalog of Faint EUV Sources
- Short Name:
- EUV/Faint
- Date:
- 19 Apr 2024
- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- The All-Sky Catalog of Faint Extreme-Ultraviolet (EUV) Sources is a list of 534 objects detected jointly in the Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer (EUVE) (100 Angstrom (AA) band) All-Sky Survey and in the ROSAT X-ray Telescope (XRT) (0.25 keV band) All-Sky Survey. The joint selection criterion within a 1.5 arcminute positional tolerance permitted the use of a low count rate threshold in each survey. This low threshold was roughly 60% of the threshold used in the previous EUVE all-sky surveys, and 166 of the objects listed in this table were new EUV sources, appearing neither in the Second EUVE Source Catalog nor in the ROSAT Wide Field Camera Second Catalog. Preliminary identifications are offered for 105 of the 166 sources not previously reported in any EUV catalog: by far the most numerous (81) of the identifications are late-type (F-M) stars, while 18 are other stellar types, only 5 are white dwarfs, and none are extragalactic. The paucity of WDs and extragalactic objects may be explained by a strong horizon effect wherein interstellar absorption strongly limits the effective new-source search volume, and, thereby, selectively favors low-luminosity nearby sources over more luminous but distant objects. Notice that, with the adopted 1.5 arcminute acceptance criterion, about 50 spurious detections are expected. This Browse table was created in July 2003 based on CDS table IX/35/faint.dat.

- All-Sky Optical Catalog of Radio/X-Ray Sources
- Short Name:
- QuasarOrg
- Date:
- 19 Apr 2024
- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- The Quasars.org (QORG) Catalog is an all-sky optical catalog of radio/X-ray sources. The QORG Catalog aligns and overlays the year 2001/2 releases of the ROSAT HRI, RASS, PSPC and WGA X-ray catalogs, the NVSS (2002), FIRST (2003) and SUMSS (2003) radio catalogs, the Veron QSO catalog (2003) and various galaxy/star reference catalogs onto the optical APM and USNO-A catalogs. This catalog displays calculated percentage probabilities for each optical, radio/X-ray associated object of its likelihood of being a quasar, galaxy, star, or erroneous radio/X-ray association. This table contains the main Master QORG catalog (master.dat) and contains all 501,756 radio/X-ray associated optical objects and known quasars which are optically detected in APM/USNO-A. Up to six radio/X-ray catalog identifications are presented for each optical object, plus any double radio lobes (21,498 of these). These are superimposed (and laterally fitted) onto a 670,925,779-object optical background which combines APM and USNO-A data. Other subsets of this master catalog are available at the CDS, including the Free-Lunch catalog, a concise easy-to-read variant of the Master catalog showcasing just one X-ray and/or radio identification for each object, a subset catalog of QSO candidates, and a subset catalog of known QSOs/galaxies/stars. Objects presented in this catalog are those optical APM/USNO-A objects which are associated with X-ray/radio detections, or any optically-found catalogued QSO/AGN/Bl Lac objects, which have confidence levels >40% of being radio/X-ray emitting optical objects. There are 501,756 objects included in all (including 48,285 catalogued quasars), representing the 99.4% coverage of the sky which is available from the APM and USNO-A. Each object is shown as one entry giving the position in equatorial coordinates, red and blue optical magnitudes (recalibrated) and PSF class, calculated probabilities of the object being, separately, a quasar, galaxy, star, or erroneous radio/X-ray association, any radio identification from each of the NVSS, FIRST and SUMSS surveys, including candidate double-lobe detections, any X-ray identification from each of the ROSAT HRI, RASS, PSPC and WGA surveys, including fluxes and field shifts of those identifications, plus, if already catalogued, the object name and redshift where applicable. The QORG catalog and supporting data can be accessed from the catalog home page at <a href="http://quasars.org/qorg-data.htm">http://quasars.org/qorg-data.htm</a> Questions or comments on the catalog contents may be directed to the first author Eric Flesch at eric@flesch.org. The authors request that researchers using this catalog make a small acknowledgement of such use in any published papers which thereby result. This table was created by the HEASARC in November 2004 based on <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/A+A/427/387">CDS Catalog J/A+A/427/387</a> file master.dat.gz.

- Title:
- An X-Ray Survey of Galaxies in Pairs
- Short Name:
- J/ApJ/511/595
- Date:
- 21 Oct 2021
- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- Results are reported from the first survey of X-ray emission from galaxies in pairs. The sample consists of 52 pairs of galaxies from the Catalog of Paired Galaxies (Cat. <VII/77>) whose coordinates overlap the ROSAT Position Sensitive Proportional Counter pointed observations. The mean observed log(L_x_) for early-type pairs is 41.35+/-0.21, while the mean log(L_x_) predicted using the (L_X_-L_b_) relationship for isolated early-type galaxies is 42.10+/-0.19. With 95% confidence, the galaxies in pairs are underluminous in the X-ray, compared with isolated galaxies, for the same L_b_. A significant fraction of the mixed pair sample also appears similarly underluminous. A spatial analysis shows that the X-ray emission from pairs of both types typically has an extent of 10 - 50 kpc, much smaller than the group intergalactic medium, and thus likely originates from the galaxies. CPG 564, the most X-ray luminous early-type pair, 4.7x10^42^ergs/s, is an exception. The extent of its X-ray emission, greater than 169 kpc, and HWHM, {~}80 kpc, is comparable to that expected from an intergalactic medium. The sample shows only a weak correlation, {~}81% confidence, between L_X_ and L_b_, presumably due to variations in gas content within the galaxies. No correlation between L_X_ and the pair velocity difference ({delta}v), separation ({delta}r), or far-infrared luminosity (L_fir_) is found, although the detection rate is low, 22%.

- Brera Multi-scale Wavelet ROSAT HRI Source Catalog
- Short Name:
- BMW-HRI
- Date:
- 19 Apr 2024
- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- The Brera Multi-scale Wavelet ROSAT High Resolution Imager Source Catalog (BMW-HRI) is derived from all ROSAT HRI pointed observations with exposure time longer than 100 seconds available in the ROSAT public archives. The data were analyzed automatically using a wavelet detection algorithm suited to the detection and characterization of both point-like and extended sources. This algorithm is able to detect and disentangle sources in very crowded fields and/or in presence of extended or bright sources. Images have been also visually inspected after the analysis to ensure verification. The final catalog, derived from 4,303 observations, consists of 29,089 sources detected with a detection probability of greater or equal 4.2 sigma. For each source, the primary catalog entries provide name, position, count rate, flux and extension along with the relative errors. In addition, results of cross-correlations with existing catalogs at different wavelengths (FIRST, IRAS, 2MASS, and GSC2) are also reported. As an external check, the authors compared their catalog with the previously available ROSHRICAT catalog (both in its short and long versions) and were able to recover, for the short version, ~90% of the entries. The sky coverage of the entire HRI data set was computed by means of simulations. The complete BMW-HRI catalog provides a sky coverage of 732 square degrees down to a limiting flux of ~1x10<sup>-12</sup> erg/s/cm<sup>2</sup> and of 10 square degrees down to ~1x10<sup>-14</sup> erg/s/cm<sup>2</sup>. The authors were able to compute the cosmological log(N)-log(S) distribution down to a flux of about 1.2x10<sup>-14</sup> erg/s/cm<sup>2</sup>. This catalog was ingested by the HEASARC in March 2003, based upon the <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/IX/34">CDS Catalog IX/34</a> file catalog.dat.gz.

- Title:
- Bright SHARC survey cluster catalog
- Short Name:
- J/ApJS/126/209
- Date:
- 21 Oct 2021
- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present the Bright SHARC (Serendipitous High-Redshift Archival ROSAT Cluster) Survey, which is an objective search for serendipitously detected extended X-ray sources in 460 deep ROSAT PSPC pointings. The Bright SHARC Survey covers an area of 178.6 deg^2^ and has yielded 374 extended sources. We discuss the X-ray data reduction, the candidate selection and present results from our on-going optical follow-up campaign. The optical follow-up concentrates on the brightest 94 of the 374 extended sources and is now 97% complete. We have identified 37 clusters of galaxies, for which we present redshifts and luminosities. The clusters span a redshift range of 0.0696<z<0.83 and a luminosity range of 0.065<L_X_< 8.3x10^44^ergs/s [0.5-2.0keV] (assuming H_0_=50km/s/Mpc and q_0_=0.5). Twelve of the clusters have redshifts greater than z=0.3, eight of which are at luminosities brighter than L_X_=3x10^44^ergs/s. Seventeen of the 37 optically confirmed Bright SHARC clusters have not been listed in any previously published catalog. We also report the discovery of three candidate "fossil groups" of the kind proposed by Ponman et al. (1994Natur.369..462P)

- Byurakan/Hamburg/ROSAT Catalog of Optical IDs
- Short Name:

- Date:

- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- This table contains the Byurakan/Hamburg/ROSAT Catalog (BHRC) of the optical identifications of X-ray sources. The BHRC includes all 2791 X-ray sources from the ROSAT Faint Source Catalog (ROSAT-FSC, CDS Catalog <IX/29>) with galactic latitude |b| >= 30 degrees, declination >= 0 degrees, and ROSAT PSPC count rate CR > 0.04 ct/s. The optical identifications were carried out using the Hamburg Quasar Survey (HQS) digitized spectroscopic plates, the DSS1 and DSS2 (blue, red, and IR) images, the MAPS photometric data, the USNO-B1.0 (for proper motion), the NVSS and FIRST radio, and the IRAS and 2MASS infrared catalogs. From the DSS images, positional, brightness, color, extension, variability, and proper-motion information, the optical-to-X-ray positional offsets were obtained and a morphological classification was made. Available SIMBAD and NED data were also utilized. Cross-correlations were made with AGN, white dwarf, and cataclysmic variable catalogs (322, 8 and 7 associations, respectively). The authors managed to identify 97% of the sources (2696/2791 sources) that are associated with 3202 optical objects. 2248 X-ray sources have a single optical counterpart, 144 have a double or multiple optical counterpart (binaries, galaxy groups, etc.), and 304 have ambiguous identifications (some of the latter might actually be blends of two X-ray sources that were not resolved by ROSAT). The QSOs and AGN represent the largest group of X-ray counterparts (56.2%); bright stars (including late-type stars, but excluding WDs and CVs) are counterparts for 33.2% of the sources, and bright galaxies and groups of galaxies comprise 9.2%. A number of close galaxy pairs (possibly interacting/merging galaxies) are found as counterparts for X-ray sources (3.0%), as well as 1.0% WDs and 0.4% CVs. The BHRC may be used for the selection and study of samples of the various classes of X-ray emitters: the table gives all the available multiwavelength data for the identified sources.

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present a catalog of 203 clusters of galaxies serendipitously detected in 647 ROSAT PSPC high Galactic latitude pointings covering 158deg^2^. This is one of the largest X-ray-selected cluster samples, comparable in size only to the ROSAT All-Sky Survey sample of nearby clusters (Ebeling et al., 1997ApJ...479L.101E). We detect clusters in the inner 175 of the ROSAT PSPC field of view using the spatial extent of their X-ray emission. Fluxes of detected clusters range from 1.6x10^-14^ to 8x10^-12^ergs/s/cm^2^ in the 0.52keV energy band. X-ray luminosities range from 10^42^ergs/s, corresponding to very poor groups, to ~5x10^44^ergs/s, corresponding to rich clusters. The cluster redshifts range from z=0.015 to z>0.5. The catalog lists X-ray fluxes, core radii, and spectroscopic redshifts for 73 clusters and photometric redshifts for the remainder.

- Cha X-ray sources & optical identifications
- Short Name:
- J/A+AS/114/109
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- 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.
