Description:
We present accurate BV(RI)c photometry for a sample of F, G and K stars detected in selected areas of the ROSAT all-sky survey (RASS). We have used the photometry, in addition to low-resolution spectroscopy, to estimate spectral classifications, distances and X-ray luminosities. The log(L_X_/L_V_) in the sample lies below -2. Although the sample contains also nearby, inactive stars, it is dominated by active objects. The median X-ray luminosity in our sample is <L_X_>=29.88 and the mean value of the hardness ratios <HR1>=0.13+/-0.35. We compare the derived X-ray luminosity function with similar functions obtained from the serendipitous samples of the Einstein Observatory medium sensitivity survey (EMSS, Cat. <IX/15>) and EXOSAT (Cat. <J/A+AS/115/41>). Our sample is completely consistent with the EMSS sample of solar type stars, indicating that both our sources and the EMSS sources are representative of the high galactic latitude X-ray stellar population. We do not find extremely active stars (log(L_X_)>=32), as are found in the EMSS sample, and we argue that these objects are rare.

Description:
We present a catalog of optical identifications of a representative sample of northern ({delta})>-9{deg}) ROSAT All-Sky Survey (RASS) sources. A full identification has been carried out for a count-rate- and area-limited complete RASS subsample comprising 674 sources. All sources are within six study areas outside the galactic plane (|b|>19.6{deg}), one area being near the north Galactic pole and one near the north ecliptic pole.
3. Proper motions of faint ROSAT WTT stars

Title:
Proper motions of faint ROSAT WTT stars
Short Name:
J/A+A/341/L79
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present proper motions of 59 stars of the ROSAT All-Sky Survey (RASS) located in direction of the Chamaeleon star forming region (SFR) in the magnitude range B=5.1-17mag. Proper motions of the fainter stars were newly derived utilizing survey Schmidt plates from the GSC~II plate archive and from a set of special plates taken with the ESO Schmidt telescope. The vector point diagram (VPD) indicates that the certified weak emission-line T Tauri (WTT) stars cluster away from the region occupied by the brighter pre-main-sequence stars (PMS) in Cha I. The distance to this new association is estimated at ~100pc, sensibly smaller than the 150pc generally assumed for the SFR. This yields an upper limit of 2km/s for the velocity dispersion of this new kinematic group. The de-reddened CM diagram of the group members suggest the WTT stars are still PMS objects, but older (3-30Myr) and less massive than previous determinations. These revised age estimates, the newly derived group peculiar velocity, and current distance estimates to the Cha~I/II/III complex would favour in-situ formation against that predicted by high velocity cloud models. Finally, based on a redetermination of the peculiar motions of stars and gas, we speculate that the whole SFR originated from the local Orion spur as a result of more classical mechanisms like interactions with the spiral arms.

Description:
Table 2 gives the 5 GHz high resolution radio source properties for the 1861 Rosat-GreenBank (RGB) sources for which subarcsecond positions and core radio flux densities were obtained. After submission of this paper, we discovered a possible systematic position error in a very small subset of sources. In particular, the sources RGB J0131+005, RGB J0139+178, RGB J0143+129, RGB J0157+235A, RGB J0232+202, RGB J0233+024A, RGB J0243+171, RGB J0256+035, RGB J0303+059, RGB J0308+104, RGB J0312+243A, RGB J0312+242C, and RGB J0314+063 were all observed in our "c" epoch VLA runs and show large systematic offsets with respect to sources found in the NVSS survey. We re-examined these sources and found the position reported in the tables is accurate given our data, but that the noise on these fields before any CLEANing is abnormally high. We thank Dr. Alastair Edge for pointing out this discrepancy. Table 3 gives the 5 GHz radio source properties for the 436 Rosat-Green Bank (RGB) sources for which only low resolution data were obtained. Table 4 gives the 83 Rosat-Green Bank (RGB) sources for which no radio source greater than 5 sigma was observed in the follow-up VLA observations. These catalogs consist of radio- and X-ray-loud AGN selected from a correlation of the 1987 Green Bank radio catalog and the Rosat All-Sky Survey.

Description:
The cross-correlation of the source list from the ROSAT All-Sky Survey with the 5 GHz Green Bank survey yields a list of 2127 objects. About two thirds of them are optically unidentified. The majority of the objects with known optical counterparts are quasars and radio galaxies, most of them detected in X-rays for the first time. In this paper we present a list of the previously optically identified objects with their main characteristics and discuss their general (bulk) properties. We find strong correlations between luminosities in the radio, optical, and X-ray bands which differ for quasars and radio galaxies.

ROSAT Galactic Plane Survey observations

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
The analysis of the part of the ROSAT all-sky survey covering the galactic plane is the scope of a dedicated project called the ROSAT Galactic Plane Survey. In order to statistically understand the nature of the =~14000 sources discovered by ROSAT at |b|<=20{deg}, a number of sample areas have been chosen for follow-up optical identification. In this paper we present the X-ray and optical material gathered in a region located in the Cygnus constellation, centered at l=90{deg}, b=0{deg} and covering an area of 64.5deg^2^. A total of 95 and 128 sources are detected with a maximum likelihood larger than 10 and 8 respectively. With a typical survey exposure time of the order of 700 to 900 s the flux completeness level is =~0.02cts/s corresponding to =~2x10^-13^erg/cm^2^/s. The position of the sample area allows to investigate the soft X-ray content of a rather typical region of the galactic plane. In this paper we describe the details of the observational procedures and data reduction. For each ROSAT source we list the main X-ray characteristics together with those of the proposed optical identification. When appropriate, we also show optical spectra and finding charts. The full analysis and discussion of these data are presented in a companion paper (Motch et al. 1997, Cat. <J/A+A/318/111>).

Title:
X-ray properties of AGN
Short Name:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
ROSAT spectra of 86 Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) with a broad range of optical FeII strengths have been analyzed. The results of the spectral analysis have been combined with optical and radio data as well as with optical emission line properties collected from the literature to understand the origin of the strong FeII emission and the nature of the soft X-ray excess.
