1. Bright SHARC survey cluster catalog

Title:
Bright SHARC survey cluster catalog
Short Name:

Date:

Publisher:

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)
2. Optical brightness of 3 ROSAT Seyfert galaxies

Title:
Optical brightness of 3 ROSAT Seyfert galaxies
Short Name:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
The printed version of this paper describes the X-ray and optical properties of four new active galaxies discovered in the ROSAT All-Sky Survey. While one object (RX J1257.5+2412) is identified as a BL Lac object, the other three (RX J1239.3+2431, RX J1225.7+2055, and RX J1250.2+1923) are narrow line Seyfert 1 galaxies. Three of these four objects are bright enough to be studied on archival photographic plates of Sonneberg Observatory. The present list contains the individual brightness measurements of these objects all of which turned out to be variable on timescales of weeks to years. Some lightcurves (long-term as well as short-term) are given in the printed version.
3. ROSAT Deep Survey in the Lockman Hole

Title:
ROSAT Deep Survey in the Lockman Hole
Short Name:
J/A+A/329/482
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
The ROSAT Deep Survey in the Lockman Hole is the most sensitive X-ray survey performed to date, encompassing an exposure time of 207ksec with the PSPC and a total of 1.32Msec with the HRI aboard ROSAT. Here we present the complete catalogue of 50 X-ray sources with PSPC fluxes (0.5-2 keV) above 5.5x10^-15^erg/cm^2^/s.
4. ROSAT observations of ACO clusters
ID:
ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/ApJ/519/533
Title:
ROSAT observations of ACO clusters
Short Name:
J/ApJ/519/533
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We have compiled an X-ray catalog of optically selected rich clusters of galaxies observed by the Position Sensitive Proportional Counter (PSPC) during the pointed GO phase of the ROSAT mission. This paper contains a systematic X-ray analysis of 150 clusters with an optical richness classification of R>=2 from the Abell, Corwin, & Olowin (1989; ACO) catalog. All clusters were observed within 45' of the optical axis of the telescope during pointed PSPC observations. For each cluster, we calculate: the net 0.5-2.0keV PSPC count rate (or 4{sigma} upper limit) in a 1Mpc radius aperture, 0.5-2.0keV flux and luminosity, bolometric luminosity, and X-ray centroid. The cluster sample is then used to examine correlations between the X-ray and optical properties of clusters, derive the X-ray luminosity function of clusters with different optical classifications, and obtain a quantitative estimate of contamination (i.e., the fraction of clusters with an optical richness significantly overestimated due to interloping galaxies) in the ACO catalog.
5. ROSAT RASS II observations of IRAS galaxies
ID:

Title:
ROSAT RASS II observations of IRAS galaxies
Short Name:
J/A+AS/129/87
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
The 120000 X-ray sources detected in the RASS II processing of the ROSAT All-Sky Survey are correlated with the 14315 IRAS galaxies selected from the IRAS Point Source Catalogue: 372 IRAS galaxies show X-ray emission within a distance of 100 arcsec from the infrared position. By inspecting the structure of the X-ray emission in overlays on optical images we quantify the likelihood that the X-rays originate from the IRAS galaxy. For 197 objects the soft X-ray emission is very likely associated with the IRAS galaxy. Their soft X-ray properties are determined and compared with their far-infrared emission.
6. X-ray sources <1 degree from Seyfert galaxies
ID:

Title:
X-ray sources <1 degree from Seyfert galaxies
Short Name:
J/A+A/319/18
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
Archived PSPC observations of 26 Seyfert galaxies have been analyzed for bright X-ray sources out to the full extent of the field (< about 50'). Of all Seyferts known this represents a sample 88% complete to B_T_=10mag, 74% complete to 11mag and 50% complete to 12mag. Using the same reduction algorithm, 14 fields centered on stars at high galactic latitudes have been used as control fields. Excluding the two brightest Seyferts, a subset of 24 Seyferts with corrected apparent magnitude between 8.04<B^o,i^_T_<12.90mag show a minimum excess of 46 bright X-ray sources generally distributed between 10 and 25' from the target galaxy. The significances of association of these sources with the Seyferts in the median brightness range are as high as 7.4-sigma.
