- 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.

- All-Sky Catalog of Faint EUV Sources
- Short Name:
- EUV/Faint
- Date:
- 03 May 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:

- 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.

- 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:
- 03 May 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.

- 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.

- 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.

- Early-Type Galaxies X-Ray Luminosities Catalog
- Short Name:
- ETGALXRAY
- Date:
- 03 May 2024
- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- This table contains a catalog of X-ray luminosities for 401 early-type galaxies (and 24 other galaxies which were listed in previuous studies as early but which have LEDA T-types >= -1.5), of which 136 are based on newly analysed ROSAT PSPC pointed observations. The remaining luminosities are taken from the literature and converted to a common energy band, spectral model and distance scale. In their paper, the authors use this sample to fit the L<sub>X</sub>/L<sub>B</sub> relation for early-type galaxies and find a best-fit slope for the catalog of ~ 2.2. The authors demonstrate the influence of group-dominant galaxies on the fit and present evidence that the relation is not well modeled by a single power-law fit. They also derive estimates of the contribution to galaxy X-ray luminosities from discrete-sources and conclude that they provide L<sub>(discrete-source-contribution)</sub>/L<sub>B</sub> ~ 29.5 erg s<sup>-1</sup>/L<sub>Bsun</sub>. The authors compare this result with luminosities from their catalog. Lastly, they examine the influence of environment on galaxy X-ray luminosity and on the form of the L<sub>X</sub>/L<sub>B</sub> relation. They conclude that although environment undoubtedly affects the X-ray properties of individual galaxies, particularly those in the centres of groups and clusters, it does not change the nature of whole populations. The sample of early-type galaxies was selected from the Lyon-Meudon Extragalactic Data Archive (LEDA). This catalog at that time contained information on ~ 100,000 galaxies, of which ~ 40,000 had redshift and morphological data. Galaxies were selected using the following criteria: (i) Morphological Type T < -1.5 (i.e. E, E-S0 and S0 galaxies). (ii) Virgo-corrected recession velocity V <= 9,000 km s<sup>-1</sup>. (iii) Apparent Magnitude B<sub>T</sub> <= 13.5. The redshift and apparent magnitude restrictions were chosen in order to minimize the effects of incompleteness on their sample. The LEDA catalogue is known to be 90 per cent complete at B<sub>T</sub> = 14.5, so the selection should be close to statistical completeness. The selection process produced ~ 700 objects. The authors then cross-correlated this list with a list of public ROSAT PSPC pointings. Only pointings within 30 arcminutes of the target were accepted, as, further off-axis, the PSPC point-spread function becomes large enough to make analysis problematic. This left 209 galaxies with X-ray data available. The authors also added data from previously published catalogs, ROSAT PSPC All-Sky Survey values from Beuing et al. (1999, MNRAS, 302, 209), and Einstein IPC values from Fabbiano et al. (1992, ApJS, 80, 531) and Roberts et al. (1991, ApJS, 75, 751). These other references use a range of models to fit the data, different wavebands, distances and blue luminosities. O'Sullivan et al. corrected for these differences by converting the catalogs to a common set of values, as used for their own results. All of the X-ray luminosities have been converted to a common format based on a reliable distance scale (assuming H<sub>0</sub> = 75 km s<sup>-1</sup> Mpc<sup>-1</sup>), and correcting for differences in spectral fitting techniques and waveband.

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present a low-flux extension of the X-ray-selected ROSAT Brightest Cluster Sample (BCS) published in Paper I of this series. Like the original BCS and employing an identical selection procedure, the BCS extension is compiled from ROSAT All-Sky Survey (RASS) data in the northern hemisphere ({delta}>=0{deg}) and at high Galactic latitudes (|b|>=20{deg}). It comprises 99 X-ray-selected clusters of galaxies with measured redshifts z<=0.3 (as well as eight more at z>0.3) and total fluxes between 2.8x10^-12^ and 4.4x10^-12^erg/cm^2^/s in the 0.1-2.4keV band (the latter value being the flux limit of the original BCS). The extension can be combined with the main sample published in 1998 to form the homogeneously selected extended BCS (eBCS), the largest and statistically best understood cluster sample to emerge from the RASS to date. The nominal completeness of the combined sample (defined with respect to a power-law fit to the bright end of the BCS logN-logS distribution) is relatively low at 75per cent (compared with 90per cent for the high-flux sample of Paper I). However, just as for the original BCS, this incompleteness can be accurately quantified, and thus statistically corrected for, as a function of X-ray luminosity and redshift. In addition to its importance for improved statistical studies of the properties of clusters in the local Universe, the low-flux extension of the BCS is also intended to serve as a finding list for X-ray-bright clusters in the northern hemisphere which we hope will prove useful in the preparation of cluster observations with the next generation of X-ray telescopes such as Chandra and XMM-Newton.

- Publisher:
- CDS
- 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 X-ray observations of ten globular clusters observed with the ROSAT PSPC. The clusters were chosen to have large core radii and to be nearby. Three clusters contain X-ray sources which are probably associated with the cluster. One is the previously discovered X-ray transient H1825-331 in NGC 6652. The other two, in NGC 6366 and NGC 6809, are new members of the class of low-luminosity sources, with luminosities in the region of 10^32^erg/s. Upper limits can be placed on the source temperatures of both sources, making them similar to sources found in other globular clusters by ROSAT.

- Description:
- This table is a representation of part of the Hamburg/ROSAT All-Sky Survey (RASS) Catalog (HRC) of optical identifications of X-ray sources at high-galactic latitude, namely the list of proposed and possible optical identifications. (The list of the X-ray sources themselves is given in the linked Browse table HRASSCAT). The HRC includes all X-ray sources from the ROSAT Bright Source Catalog (RASS-BSC) with galactic latitude |b| >= 30 degrees and declination Dec >= 0 degrees. In this part of the sky covering ~10,000 square degrees, the RASS-BSC contains 5341 X-ray sources. For the optical identification, the HRC authors used blue Schmidt prism and direct plates taken for the northern hemisphere Hamburg Quasar Survey (HQS) which are now available in digitized form. The limiting magnitudes are 18.5 and 20, respectively. For 82% of the selected RASS-BSC, an identification could be given. For the rest, either no counterpart was visible in the error circle, or a plausible identification was not possible. With ~42%, AGN represent the largest group of X-ray emitters, ~31% have a stellar counterpart, whereas galaxies and cluster of galaxies comprise only ~4% and ~5%, respectively. In ~3% of the RASS-BSC sources, no object was visible on the blue direct plates within 40" around the X-ray source position. The catalog has been used as a source for the selection of (nearly) complete samples of the various classes of X-ray emitters. This table was produced by the HEASARC in February 2005 based on the CDS Catalog table J/A+A/406/353/optical.dat. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

The limiting magnitudes are 18.5 and 20, respectively. For 82% of the selected RASS-BSC, an identification could be given. For the rest, either no counterpart was visible in the error circle, or a plausible identification was not possible. With ~42%, AGN represent the largest group of X-ray emitters, ~31% have a stellar counterpart, whereas galaxies and cluster of galaxies comprise only ~4% and ~5%, respectively. In ~3% of the RASS-BSC sources, no object was visible on the blue direct plates within 40" around the X-ray source position. The catalog has been used as a source for the selection of (nearly) complete samples of the various classes of X-ray emitters. This table was produced by the HEASARC in February 2005 based on the CDS Catalog table J/A+A/406/353/x-ray.dat. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

- Description:
- Listed are results from our high-resolution data for all stars in our study area which were listed by either Magazzu et al. (1997A&AS..124..449M) or Alcala et al. (1996A&AS..119....7A), i.e. T Tauri candidates from the ROSAT All-Sky Survey. In table 1, we list all stars for which lithium was found either by Magazzu et al. (1997A&AS..124..449M) or in our CASPEC spectra, as well as two stars identified as wTTS by Alcala et al. (1996A&AS..119....7A). Listed are the designation, number of single-order echelle spectra taken, effective temperatures, projected rotational velocities, mean heliocentric radial velocities with errors, radial velocities in the local standard of rest, and remarks on variability in radial velocity as found in our high-resolution spectra. For comparison, we also list the results on spectral types of the stars (with `e' for H{alpha} emission) as found by Magazzu et al. (1997A&AS..124..449M) (or Alcala et al., 1996A&AS..119....7A) with low- and medium-resolution spectroscopy. In the last two columns, we list the (NLTE) lithium abundance (given on a scale where logN(H)=12) and the lithium excess above the relevant Pleiades upper envelope; upper limits indicate stars where the Magazzu et al. (1997A&AS..124..449M) spectra suffer from either low S/N or low resolution. In table 2, we list all stars where no lithium was detected -- neither by Magazzu et al. (1997A&AS..124..449M) nor in our CASPEC spectra.

- Description:
- We report the results of a complete X-ray survey of the Hyades cluster region using the ROSAT All-Sky Survey (RASS). Our survey covers over 900deg^2^ of the sky. Over 185 optically identified Hyades were detected down to a limiting X-ray luminosity of ~1-2x10^28^ergs/s (0.1-1.8keV); among solar-like stars, i.e., main-sequence stars of spectral type G, the RASS detection rate is ~90%. The presence of many binary systems in the cluster is a key factor influencing the X-ray luminosity function. Short-period (~ a few days or less) binaries are anomalously X-ray bright, as might be expected; however, the X-ray luminosity functions of K and possibly M binaries of all types are significantly different from their single counterparts, confirming the results of Pye et al. (1994MNRAS.266..798P) for a smaller K star sample drawn from deep ROSAT pointings. Comparison with Einstein Observatory studies of a subset of Hyades stars demonstrates a general lack of significant (> a factor of 2) long-term X-ray variability. This may be the result of the dominance of a small-scale, turbulent dynamo in the younger Hyades stars compared to the large-scale, cyclic dynamo observed in the Sun.
