- Description:
- This catalog is a compilation of 518 extragalactic radio sources with flux densities greater than 1 Jy at 5 GHz. It contains sources from the NRAO-MPI 5-GHz Strong Source Surveys and from re-observation at 5 GHz of sources found in the Parkes 2.7-GHz surveys. All sources were found in 9.811 sr covered by the two surveys. This is essentially the whole sky, excluding the galactic plane (latitudes less than 10 degrees) and the Magellanic Clouds. The catalog includes radio flux densities, radio positions, object classes, visual magnitudes, redshifts, and spectral indices. One duplicate entry was removed from the HEASARC implementation of this catalog in June 2019. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

- Extremely Luminous X-Ray Source Candidates Catalog
- Short Name:
- VLULXCAT
- Date:
- 07 Mar 2025
- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- Using Chandra archive data, the authors conducted a thorough survey of luminous X-ray sources. They directly analyzed about 9400 Chandra ACIS observations and cross-correlated the detected X-ray sources with 77,000 galaxies within a distance of 250 Mpc. The final catalog includes 119 unique luminous X-ray source candidates with L<sub>X</sub> > 3 x 10<sup>40</sup> erg/s from 93 galaxies or 41 HLX candidates with L<sub>X</sub> > 1 x 10<sup>41</sup> erg/s from 35 galaxies. The authors derive a moderate contamination rate due to foreground or background sources. In the reference paper, they also cross-correlate the catalog with FIRST, perform variability and periodicity tests, and analyze one HLX candidate in particular. This catalog could be a starting point to perform follow-up observations. In order to know whether an X-ray source falls within a particular galaxy, for each galaxy, the authors collected its center's RA, Dec, distance, and D<sub>25</sub> isophotal info, which includes major axis length, minor axis length, and the position angle of the major axis from the PGC2003 Catalog (Paturel et al. 2003, A&A, 412, 45), which includes the full RC3 catalog and has all of the necessary parameters except for distance. The authors restricted the minimum major axis length to be 10 arcseconds, and collected their distances from NED as much as possible. Their final sample includes 77,000 galaxies within 250 Mpc. The authors used all of the Chandra ACIS data in TE mode that were released before 2014, which includes 9400 ObsIDs. A roughly linear relation between the flux and count rate derived by PIMMS 4.6b was established assuming a power-law spectral shape and galactic foreground extinction (Kalberla et al. 2005, A&A, 440, 775). Any source with a PIMMS luminosity larger than 5 x 10<sup>39</sup> erg s<sup>-1</sup> would be recalculated by the CIAO script model flux assuming a power-law index of 1.7 in the 0.3 - 8.0 keV energy band. After the recalculation, 1,809 X-ray sources with L<sub>x</sub> > 3 x 10<sup>40</sup> erg s<sup>-1</sup> falling within 640 D<sub>25</sub> contours covered by 905 ObsIDs were picked out. A large fraction of the 1,809 sources are galactic nuclei and some of them are repeated. Only off-nuclear sources are considered in this paper. In addition, the centers of the galaxies given by PGC2003 are not necessarily precise and the specific environments of the 1,809 sources are different. Therefore, the authors visually checked the Chandra and DSS images simultaneously, since two-band inspection can help to exclude the nuclear sources, bright knots, and extended sources. X-ray sources with clear DSS features would be dropped because, for a source with a visual magnitude <20 and a distance >30 Mpc, its absolute magnitude would be brighter than -12.4, which is beyond the limit of the brightest star clusters. This table was created by the HEASARC in February 2017 based on <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/ApJS/222/12">CDS Catalog J/ApJS/222/12</a> file table1.dat, the list of very luminous X-ray source candidates found within the D<sub>25</sub> ellipses of Chandra ACIS-observed PGC2003 galaxies lying within 250 Mpc. Some of the values for the name parameter in the HEASARC's implementation of this table were corrected in April 2018. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

- Extremely Red Objects XMM-Newton Survey Catalog
- Short Name:
- EROSXMM
- Date:
- 07 Mar 2025
- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- This table contains the results of a deep (about 80 ks) XMM-Newton survey of the largest sample of near-infrared-selected Extremely Red Objects (R-K > 5) available to date to K<sub>s</sub> < ~19.2. At the relatively bright X-ray fluxes ((F(2-10 keV) >~ 4 x 10<sup>-15</sup> erg cm<sup>-2</sup> s<sup>-1</sup>) and near-infrared magnitude probed by the present observations, the fraction of AGN (i.e. X-ray detected) among the ERO population is small (~3.5%); conversely, the fraction of EROs among hard X-ray selected sources is much higher (~20%). The X-ray properties of the 9 EROs detected in this XMM-Newton observation indicate absorption in excess of 10<sup>22</sup> cm<sup>-2</sup> in a large fraction of them. The X-ray, optical and near-infrared properties of those X-ray selected EROs with a spectroscopic or photometric redshift nicely match those expected for type 2 quasars, the high-luminosity, high-redshift obscured AGNs predicted in baseline XRB synthesis models. A close correlation is detected between X-ray and K-band fluxes. This table contains the X-ray and optical information for the sources detected in the sum of 3 separate XMM-Newton observations of a field centered on 14 49 25, +09 00 13 (J2000.0 RA and Dec) known as the "Daddi" field (Daddi et al. 2000, A&A, 361, 535) in which 257 EROs are known to be present. The data from all 3 EPIC instruments (PN, MOS1 and MOS2) obtained in the 3 observations was combined, yielding a total exposure time for the PN of ~82 ks, and for the MOS instruments of ~78 ks. The X-ray hardness ratio (HR) and the optical to near-infrared color (R and K magnitudes) are reported for all the detected X-ray sources and their counterparts, along with the reliability of the X-ray to optical or near-infrared associations as measured by the likelihood ratios, LR(R) and LR(K). This table lists data for the 111 proposed optical/infrared counterparts for the 97 detected X-ray sources, i.e., X-ray sources with more than one possible optical/IR counterpart will have multiple entries in this table, one for each counterpart, as follows: 73 X-ray sources have secure optical/near-IR counterparts (counterpart_status=1), 7 X-ray sources have 2 possible 'likely' counterparts, and 1 X-ray source has 3 such counterparts (counterpart_status=2), 6 X-ray sources have only low-likelihood counterparts all of which lie outside the 3" matching radii (counterpart_status=3), and the remaining 9 X-ray sources lack optical and infrared photometry (counterpart_status=4). This table was created by the HEASARC in February 2007 based on the <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/A+A/432/69">CDS Catalog J/A+A/432/69</a> files table1.dat and table2.dat.

- Faint Images of the Radio Sky at Twenty cm (FIRST)
- Short Name:
- FIRST
- Date:
- 07 Mar 2025
- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- This catalog comprises the Faint Images of the Radio Sky at Twenty cm (FIRST) Survey. The FIRST survey began in 1993, and covers the north and south Galactic caps. The present 14Dec17 version is derived from the 1993 through 2011 observations. The catalog covers a total of about 10,575 square degrees of sky (8,444 square degrees in the north Galactic cap and 2,131 square degrees in the south Galactic cap). See the coverage maps at <a href="http://sundog.stsci.edu/first/catalogs/readme_14dec17.html#coverage">http://sundog.stsci.edu/first/catalogs/readme_14dec17.html#coverage</a> for more details of the area covered. Both the northern and southern areas were chosen to coincide approximately with the area covered by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). The catalog is identical to the previous version of the catalog (14Mar04) except that it has more accurate data on which sources are not covered by the SDSS DR10 catalog. Approximately 1000 sources that were indicated as covered by DR10 in the previous version are now correctly marked as not covered. The source list, radio fluxes, etc., are all the same as the 14Mar04 version. In this version of the catalog, images taken in the the new EVLA configuration have been re-reduced using shallower CLEAN thresholds in order to reduce the "CLEAN bias" in those images. Also, the EVLA images are not co-added with older VLA images to avoid problems resulting from the different frequencies and noise properties of the configurations. That leads to small gaps in the sky coverage at boundaries between the EVLA and VLA regions. As a result, the area covered by this release of the catalog is about 60 square degrees smaller than the earlier release of the catalog (13Jun05), and the total number of sources is reduced by nearly 25,000. The previous version of the catalog does have sources in the overlap regions, but their flux densities are considered unreliable due to calibration errors. The flux densities should be more accurate in this catalog, biases are smaller, and the incidence of spurious sources is also reduced. Over most of the survey area, the detection limit is 1 mJy. A region along the equatorial strip (RA = 21.3 to 3.3 hrs, Dec = -1 to 1 deg) has a deeper detection threshold because two epochs of observation were combined. The typical detection threshold in this region is 0.75 mJy. There are approximately 4,500 sources below the 1 mJy threshold used for most previous versions of the catalog. The format of this catalog is the same as releases since 13Jun05 but differs from earlier versions of the catalog. It contains two parameters which give information on the epoch of observation for each source (called mean_epoch and rms_epoch in this HEASARC version) which are described below. The P(S) parameter (called sidelobe_prob herein), which indicates the probability that the source is a sidelobe, replaces the previous binary sidelobe flag column. The parameters sdss_matches, sdss_first_offset, sdss_imag, sdss_class, twomass_matches, twomass_first_offset and twomass_kmag give information on counterparts to the FIRST source in the SDSS DR10 catalog and the 2MASS catalog, respectively. Other catalog parameters are common with FIRST catalog releases extending back over the past decade. The co-added images are available online: see the FIRST page at <a href="http://sundog.stsci.edu/first/images.html">http://sundog.stsci.edu/first/images.html</a> for details. The source catalog presented here is derived from the images. Data for the FIRST survey were collected in all VLA B-configurations from Spring 1993 through Spring 2004. For all data collected for the FIRST project, the raw u-v visibility data are placed in the VLA public archive on the day they are taken, and are available for use without restriction. Additional data in the southern Galactic cap were acquired in Spring 2009 and Spring 2011. The VLA was in a hybrid condition in 2009, with some new EVLA receivers and some old VLA receivers. The characteristics of those images are slightly different from the older data, but for most purposes they should be equivalent. In 2011 the EVLA receivers were available with an early version of the new EVLA data system, so there are a number of differences from the old data: <pre> Date Frequencies Bandpass Integration Before 2011 1365, 1435 MHz 2x7 3-MHz channels 180 seconds 2011 1335, 1730 MHz 2x64 2-MHz channels 60 seconds </pre> Note particularly the frequency difference between the new and older data. The new data are in co-added fields with names ending with 'S' (and later letters in the alphabet) and are found entirely in the south Galactic cap. This table was last updated by the HEASARC in May 2015 based on the file: <a href="http://sundog.stsci.edu/first/catalogs/catalog_14dec17.bin.gz">http://sundog.stsci.edu/first/catalogs/catalog_14dec17.bin.gz</a> which contains the 17 December 2014 version of the FIRST Source Catalog. Some of the values for the name parameter in the HEASARC's implementation of this table were corrected in April 2018. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

- Faint Sky Variability Survey Catalog of Galaxy Clusters and Rich Groups
- Short Name:
- FSVSClusGR
- Date:
- 07 Mar 2025
- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- The Faint Sky Variability Survey Catalog of Galaxy Clusters and Rich Groups contains a a large sample of 598 galaxy clusters and rich groups discovered in the data of the Faint Sky Variability Survey (FSVS). The clusters have been identified using a fully automated, semi-parametric technique based on a maximum likelihood approach applied to Voronoi tessellation, and enhanced by color discrimination. The sample covers a wide range of richness, has a density of ~28 clusters per square degree, and spans a range of estimated redshifts of 0.05 < z < 0.9 with mean <z> = 0.345. Assuming the presence of a cluster red sequence, the uncertainty of the estimated cluster redshifts is assessed to be sigma ~ 0.03. Containing over 100 clusters with z > 0.6, the catalog contributes substantially to the current total of optically-selected, intermediate-redshift clusters, and complements the existing, usually X-ray selected, samples. The FSVS fields are accessible for observation throughout the whole year, making them particularly suited for large follow-up programs. The construction of this FSVS Cluster Catalogue completes a fundamental component of the authors' continuing program to investigate the environments of quasars and the chemical evolution of galaxies. The present table contains the list of all clusters with their basic parameters. This table was created by the HEASARC in July 2006 based on the table cluster_catalogue.txt copied from the first author's website <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20100318044103/www-astro.physics.ox.ac.uk/~iks/FSVScatalogue/">https://web.archive.org/web/20100318044103/www-astro.physics.ox.ac.uk/~iks/FSVScatalogue/</a> (no longer available, unfortunately).

- Far Ultraviolet Explorer (FUSE) Observation Log
- Short Name:

- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- NASA's FUSE (Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer) spacecraft provided spectra in the far-ultraviolet portion of the electromagnetic spectrum (the wavelength range from 905 - 1180 Angstroms, or 90.5 - 118 nm), with a high spectral resolution of about 20000 (one wavelength point each 5 pm). FUSE was funded by NASA as part of its Origins program, and was developed in collaboration with the space agencies of Canada and France. It was operated for NASA by the Johns Hopkins University. FUSE was launched into orbit aboard a Delta II rocket on June 24, 1999 for a nominal mission of three years of operations. This table contains the FUSE Observation Log up to May 8, 2007, as archived at CDS in summer 2007. FUSE was formally decommissioned on October 18, 2007, following the failure of the last control wheel on the spacecraft in July 2007. More information about the FUSE Project can be found at NASA's Optical and Ultraviolet Archive (MAST) at <a href="http://archive.stsci.edu/">http://archive.stsci.edu/</a> and at the Johns Hopkins FUSE web site at <a href="http://fuse.pha.jhu.edu/">http://fuse.pha.jhu.edu/</a>. This database table was updated by the HEASARC in March 2009, superceding the previous versions of May 2007, May 2004, March 2005, and April 2006. It is primarily based on the CDS table <B/fuse>, specifically, the files fuse.dat, refs.dat and proposal.dat, but also contains additional information on proposal titles and bibliographic codes obtained from the MAST FUSE Archive. The HEASARC plans to update the bibliographic metadata for this table on a monthly basis as and when new information from the latter source becomes available.

- Faust Far-UV Point Source Catalog
- Short Name:
- FAUST
- Date:

- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- This catalog contains a list of the photometric measurements of point sources made by the Far Ultraviolet Space Telescope (FAUST) when it flew on the ATLAS-1 space shuttle mission. The list contains 4660 galactic and extragalactic objects detected in 22 wide-field images of the sky (note that the abstract of the published catalog states that it contains 4698 sources: the reason for this discrepancy is not known to the HEASARC). At the locations surveyed, this catalog reaches a limiting magnitude that is approximately a factor of 10 fainter than the previous UV all-sky survey, TD1. The catalog limit is approximately 1x10<sup>-14</sup> ergs/s/cm<sup>2</sup>/Angstrom, although it is not complete to this level. Listed for each object is the position, Far-UV (FUV) flux, the error in this flux, and, where possible, an identification from catalogs of nearby stars and galaxies. These catalogs include the Michigan HD (MHD) and HD Catalogs, the SAO Catalog, the HIPPARCOS Input Catalog (HIC), the Position and Proper Motion (PPM) Catalog, the TD1 Catalog, the McCook and Sion Catalog of white dwarf stars, and the RC3 Catalog of Galaxies. 2239 FAUST sources are identified with objects in the stellar catalogs and 172 with galaxies in the RC3 catalog. The number of sources with incorrect identifications is estimated to be less than 2%. Of the 4660 FUV sources in this catalog, 161 have multiple stellar and/or galaxy counterparts (155 sources have 2 possible counterparts, 4 sources have 3 possible counterparts, 1 source has 4 possible counterparts, and 1 source has 6 possible counterparts), with the 4499 remaining FUV sources having 0 or 1 stellar and/or galaxy counterparts. Hence, there are a grand total of 4831 = (4499 + 155x2 + 4x3 + 1x4 + 1x6) entries in this database, since each entry corresponds to a source/counterpart combination. The HEASARC added a parameter 'multiple_ID' to allow the user to identify sources with multiple possible counterparts. FAUST Sources with multiple counterparts thus have multiple entries in this database, and can be recognized by having multiple_id values greater than 1 (and differing information in the parameter fields that contain the properties of the stellar and/or galaxy counterparts). This catalog was created at the HEASARC in September 1998 based on CDS/ADC Catalog J/ApJS/96/461. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

- Fermi All-Sky Variability Analysis Second Catalog of Flaring Gamma-Ray Sources
- Short Name:
- FERMI2FAVS
- Date:
- 07 Mar 2025
- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- The Fermi All-sky Variability Analysis (FAVA) is an analysis technique that searches for flaring sources in data collected by the Large Area Telescope (LAT) onboard NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope. It uses a photometric approach to blindly search for flares over the entire sky, and a likelihood analysis to precisely locate them and to measure their spectra. This catalog contains the flares and sources detected by running FAVA over the first 7.4 years of Fermi mission, from Modified Julian Date (MJD) 54682 (2008-08-04) to 57391 (2016-01-04). The analysis has been run in weekly time bins and in two independent energy bands, 100-800 MeV and 0.8-300 GeV. The detection threshold applied to the catalog flares is equivalent to 6 sigma (pre trials). The sources in the 2FAV are identified as clusters of flares. Their position and the corresponding error are derived from a weighted average of the best localized flares in the cluster. Likely gamma-ray counterparts, based on positional coincidence, are provided for the sources. This database table was first ingested by the HEASARC in July 2017 using electronic data obtained from the Fermi Science Support Center (FSSC). That data is available at <a href="http://fermi.gsfc.nasa.gov/ssc/data/access/lat/fava_catalog/">http://fermi.gsfc.nasa.gov/ssc/data/access/lat/fava_catalog/</a>.
