1. An X-Ray Survey of Galaxies in Pairs

Title:
An X-Ray Survey of Galaxies in Pairs
Short Name:
J/ApJ/511/595
Date:

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%.

Description:
In the construction of an X-ray-selected sample of galaxy clusters for cosmological studies, we have assembled a sample of 495 X-ray sources found to show extended X-ray emission in the first processing of the ROSAT All-Sky Survey. The sample covers the celestial region with declination {delta}>=0{deg} and Galactic latitude |b|>=20{deg} and comprises sources with a count rate >=0.06counts/s and a source extent likelihood of L>=7. In an optical follow-up identification program we find 378 (76%) of these sources to be clusters of galaxies.

Description:
We describe the ROSAT International X-ray/Optical Survey (RIXOS), a medium-sensitivity survey and optical identification of X-ray sources discovered in ROSAT high Galactic latitude fields (|b|>280) and observed with the Position Sensitive Proportional Counter (PSPC) detector. We presents a catalogue of the RIXOS sources and their optical identifications.
4. ROSAT All-Sky Survey Faint Source Catalog

Title:
ROSAT All-Sky Survey Faint Source Catalog
Short Name:
IX/29
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
The ROSAT All-Sky Survey Faint Source Catalogue (RASS-FSC) is derived from the all-sky survey performed during the ROSAT mission in the energy band 0.1-2.4 keV. 105,924 sources are catalogued and represent the faint extension to the RASS bright source catalogue (RASS-BSC, 1999A&A...349..389V, See Cat. <IX/10>). The sources have a detection likelihood of at least 7 and contain at least 6 source photons. (The likelihood of source detection is defined as L = -ln(1-P), with P = probability of source detection). For each source we provide the ROSAT name, the position in equatorial coordinates, the positional error, the source countrate and error, the background countrate, exposure time, date of observation, hardness-ratios HR1 and HR2 and errors, extent and likelihood of extent, and likelihood of detection.

6. ROSAT Bright Survey

Title:
ROSAT Bright Survey
Short Name:
IX/32
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
The ROSAT Bright Survey (RBS, table "rosat.dat") aims to completely optically identify the 2072 brightest sources detected in the ROSAT all-sky survey (Cat. <IX/10>) at galactic latitudes |b|>30{deg} (excluding LMC, SMC, Virgo cluster), with countrate above 0.2s^-1^; this program is 99.5% complete, and a sub-sample of 931 sources with countrate above 0.2s^-1^ in the hard spectral band between 0.5 and 2.0keV is 100% identified. The total survey area comprises 20391{deg}^2^ at a flux limit of 2.4x10^-12^erg/cm^2^/s in the 0.5-2.0keV band. Tables 1 and 3 examine the "RHS" sub-sample of 66 bright point-like ROSAT survey sources with almost hard PSPC spectra (hardness ratio HR1>0.5) which could be nearly completely identified by low-resolution optical spectroscopy with the following breakdown into object classes: 31 Seyfert galaxies (20 Sy1), 22 BL Lac candidates, 5 clusters of galaxies, 1 cataclysmic variable, and 5 bright stars. Only one object remained unidentified and one X-ray source was a spurious detection.

Title:
ROSAT HRI Pointed Observations (1RXH)

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
The hricat.dat table contains a list of sources detected by the Standard Analysis Software System (SASS) in reprocessed, public High Resolution Imager (HRI) datasets. In addition to the parameters returned by SASS (like position, count rate, signal-to-noise, etc.) each source in the table has associated with it a set of source and sequence "flags". These flags are provided by the ROSAT data centers in the US, Germany and the UK to help the user of the ROSHRI database judge the reliability of a given source. These data have been screened by ROSAT data centers in the US, Germany, and the UK as a step in the production of the Rosat Results Archive (RRA). The RRA contains extracted source and associated products with an indication of reliability for the primary parameters.

9. ROSAT survey of bright galaxies clusters

Title:
ROSAT survey of bright galaxies clusters
Short Name:
J/ApJ/514/148
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We describe the selection of an X-ray flux-limited sample of bright clusters of galaxies in the southern hemisphere, based on the first analysis of the ROSAT All-Sky Survey data (RASS1). The sample is constructed starting from an identification of candidate clusters in RASS1, after which their X-ray fluxes are remeasured using the steepness-ratio technique. This method is better suited than the RASS1 standard algorithm to measuring flux from extended sources. The final sample is count-rate-limited in the ROSAT hard band (0.5-2.0 keV), so that as a result of the distribution of N_H_, its effective flux limit varies between {~}3 and 4x10^-12^ ergs cm^-2^ s^-1^ over the selected area. This covers the {delta} < 2.5{deg} part of the south Galactic cap region (b < -20{deg}), excluding patches of low RASS1 exposure time and of the Magellanic Clouds area, for a total of 8235 deg^2^. One hundred and thirty candidate sources fulfill our selection criteria for bona fide clusters of galaxies in this area. Of these, 101 are Abell/ACO clusters, while 29 do not have a counterpart in these catalogs. Of these clusters, 126 (97%) have a redshift, and for these we compute an X-ray luminosity. 20% of the cluster redshifts come from new observations, as part of the ESO Key Program survey of RASS clusters that is currently under completion. Considering the intrinsic biases and incompletenesses introduced by the flux selection and source identification processes, we estimate the overall completeness to be better than 90%. The observed number count distribution, log Nlog S, is well fitted by a power law with slope {alpha} =1.34{+/-}0.15 and normalization A=11.87{+/-}1.04 sr^-1^ (10^-11^ ergs cm^-2^ s^-1^)^{alpha}^, in good agreement with other measurements.
