Description:
This table contains some of the results from a Chandra ACIS observation of the stellar populations in and around the M17 H II region. The field reveals 886 sources (listed in the present table) with observed X-ray luminosities (uncorrected for absorption) between ~ 29.3 erg s<sup>-1</sup> < log L<sub>X</sub> < 32.8 erg s<sup>-1</sup>, 771 of which have stellar counterparts in infrared images. Spectral analysis results for the 598 brightest X-ray sources which have photometric significance of 2.0 or greater) are also given herein. For 546 of the X-ray sources, the fits used the "wabs(apec)" thermal plasma model in XSPEC assuming scaled 0.3 times solar photospheric abundances, while for the other 52 X-ray sources for which either the thermal model poorly described the data or required nonphysical parameters and the X-ray source was not identified with a known stellar counterpart, the fits used the "wabs(powerlaw)" model in XSPEC. In addition to the comprehensive tabulation of X-ray source properties, several other results were presented in the reference paper: 1. The X-ray luminosity function is calibrated to that of the Orion Nebula Cluster population to infer a total population of roughly 8000-10,000 stars in M17, one-third lying in the central NGC 6618 cluster. 2. About 40% of the ACIS sources are heavily obscured with A<sub>V</sub> > 10 mag. Some are concentrated around well-studied star-forming regions -- IRS 5/UC1, the Kleinmann-Wright Object, and M17-North -- but most are distributed across the field. As previously shown, star formation appears to be widely distributed in the molecular clouds. X-ray emission is detected from 64 of the hundreds of Class I protostar candidates that can be identified by near- and mid-infrared colors. These constitute the most likely protostar candidates known in M17. 3. The spatial distribution of X-ray stars is complex: in addition to the central NGC 6618 cluster and well-known embedded groups, we find a new embedded cluster (designated M17-X), a 2 pc long arc of young stars along the southwest edge of the M17 H II region, and 0.1 pc substructure within various populations. These structures may indicate that the populations are dynamically young. 4. All (14/14) of the known O stars but only about half (19/34) of the known B0-B3 stars in the M17 field are detected. These stars exhibit the long-reported correlation between X-ray and bolometric luminosities of L<sub>X</sub> ~ 10<sup>-7</sup> L<sub>bol</sub>. While many O and early-B stars show the soft X-ray emission expected from microshocks in their winds or moderately hard emission that could be caused by magnetically channeled wind shocks, six of these stars exhibit very hard thermal plasma components (kT > 4 keV) that may be due to colliding wind binaries. More than 100 candidate new OB stars are found, including 28 X-ray detected intermediate- and high-mass protostar candidates with infrared excesses. 5. Only a small fraction (perhaps 10%) of X-ray selected high- and intermediate-mass stars exhibit K-band-emitting protoplanetary disks, providing further evidence that inner disks evolve very rapidly around more massive stars. This table was created by the HEASARC in December 2007 based on electronic versions of Tables 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 of the reference paper which were obtained from the electronic ApJ web site.

Description:
This table contains the source table from an analysis of 15 Chandra ACIS observations of the nearby spiral galaxy M81 taken over the course of six weeks in 2005 May-July. Each observation reaches a sensitivity of ~10<sup>37</sup> erg s<sup>-1</sup>. With these observations and one previous deeper Chandra observation (the properties of which are described in Table 1 and Section 2 of the reference paper), the authors have compiled a master source list of 265 point sources, extracted and fitted their spectra, and differentiated basic populations of sources through their colors. They also carried out variability analyses of individual point sources and of X-ray luminosity functions (XLFs) in multiple regions of M 81 on timescales of days, months, and years. They find that, despite measuring significant variability in a considerable fraction of sources, snapshot observations provide a consistent determination of the XLF of M81. They also fit the XLFs for multiple regions of M81 and, using common parametrization, compare these luminosity functions to those of two other spiral galaxies, M31 and the Milky Way. This table contains the 265 point sources at or above the 99.9% probability level of being real according to AE's PROB_NO_SOURCE statistic (the "master" source list), and 11 additional "borderline" sources which have 99.0-99.9% probability of being real according to AE's PROB_NO_SOURCE statistic, for a total of 276 sources whose properties were described in Tables 3 and 4 of the reference paper. The 265 "master" sources have source numbers from 1 to 265 while the 11 "borderline" sources have source numbers beginning with 'B', e.g., they have source numbers 'B1' to 'B11'. Note that only coordinates are listed for 3 sources in the master source list (source numbers 234, 241 and 262) and 2 sources in the borderline source list (B8 and B9) because they were only in the field of view (on chip) of one observation (ObsID 735). Six additional sources near the center of M81 which were found using maximum likelihood image reconstruction are not included in either the master or borderline source lists contained herein but their positions are listed in table 2 of the reference paper. This table was created by the HEASARC in August 2011 based on electronic versions of Tables 3 and 4 from the reference paper which were obtained from the ApJ web site. 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 .

Description:
The ACIS instrument on board the Chandra X-Ray Observatory has been used to carry out the first systematic study of low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) in M 87 (NGC 4486), the giant elliptical galaxy near the dynamical center of the Virgo Cluster. These images - with a total exposure time of 154 ks - are the deepest X-ray observations obtained as of 2004 of M 87. The authors identified 174 X-ray point sources, (contained in this Browse table) of which ~ 150 are likely LMXBs. This LMXB catalog was combined with deep F475W and F850LP images taken with ACS on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) (as part of the ACS Virgo Cluster Survey) to examine the connection between LMXBs and globular clusters in M87. Of the 1688 globular clusters in the authors' catalog, a fraction f<sub>X</sub> = 3.6% +/- 0.5% contain an LMXB. M 87 (NGC 4486) was observed with the Chandra Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer (ACIS) for 121 ks on 2002 July 5-6. In this table, only the S3 chip data are used. The data were processed following the CIAO data reduction threads, including a correction for charge transfer inefficiency (CTI). In addition, the authors used 38 ks of archival ACIS observations of M 87 taken on 2000 July 29. These data were processed in a fashion similar to the 2002 July data, except that no CTI correction was possible because the data were telemetered in graded mode. All reductions were carried out with CIAO, version 2.3, coupled with CALDB, version 2.21. In order to combine the event files into a single image for point-source detection, the authors obtained relative offsets by matching the celestial coordinates of two X-ray point sources. The relative offset was ~ 0.5". The total exposure time of the co-added image, excluding four background flares totaling ~ 2.5 ks, was 154 ks.

Description:
A deep (98.2ks) Chandra Cycle 1 observation has revealed a wealth of discrete X-ray sources as well as diffuse emission in the nearby face-on spiral galaxy M 101. From this rich data set, the authors have created a catalog of the 110 sources from the S3 chip which were detected with a significance of greater than 3-sigma. This detection threshold corresponds to a flux of ~ 10<sup>-16</sup> ergs/cm<sup>2</sup>/s and a luminosity of ~ 10<sup>36</sup> ergs/s for a distance to M 101 of 7.2 Mpc. The sources display a distinct correlation with the spiral arms of M101 and include a variety of X-ray binaries, supersoft sources, supernova remnants, and other objects of which only ~27 are likely to be background sources. The 29 brightest sources have enough flux (greater than 100 counts) to perform at least crude spectral modeling using the HEASARC XSPEC model fitting program. Most of the sources could be satisfactorily fitted with a simple absorbed power-law spectrum model; however, eight of the softest sources were better fitted by an absorbed blackbody model. This table was created by the HEASARC in July 2007 based on <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/ApJ/561/189">CDS Catalog J/ApJ/561/189</a> files table1.dat and table4.dat.

Description:
The M 67 Chandra X-Ray Point Source Catalog contains the results of a 47 ks Chandra/ACIS observation of the old (4 Gyr) open cluster M67. The authors detected 25 proper-motion cluster members (including ten new sources) and 12 sources (all new) that they suspect to be M 67 members from their locations close to the main sequence (1 < B-V < 1.7). Of the detected members, 23 are binaries. In addition to cluster members, about 100 background sources were detected, many of which were identified with faint objects in the ESO Imaging Survey (EIS, Momany et al. 2001, A&A, 379, 436). This table summarizes the X-ray properties of the 158 sources which were detected by Chandra in this observation, and also lists the ROSAT (Belloni et al., 1998A&A...335..517B) and optical (candidate) counterparts.

Short Name:
MCXC
Date:

Publisher:
NASA/GSFC HEASARC
Description:
The MCXC is the Meta-Catalog of the compiled properties of X-ray detected Clusters of galaxies. This very large catalog is based on publicly available ROSAT All Sky Survey (RASS)-based (NORAS, REFLEX, BCS, SGP, NEP, MACS, and CIZA) and ROSAT serendipitous (160SD, 400SD, SHARC, WARPS, and EMSS) cluster catalogs. Data have been systematically homogenised to an overdensity of 500, and duplicate entries from overlaps between the survey areas of the individual input catalogs have been carefully handled. The MCXC comprises 1743 clusters with virtually no duplicate entries. For each cluster, the MCXC provides three identifiers, a redshift, coordinates, membership in the original catalog, and standardised 0.1 - 2.4 keV band luminosity Lx<sub>500</sub>, total mass M<sub>500</sub>, and radius R<sub>500</sub>, where the 500 suffix means that the quantity has been calculated up to a standard characteristic radius R<sub>500</sub>, the radius within which the mean overdensity of the cluster is 500 times the critical density at the cluster redshift . The meta-catalog additionally furnishes information on overlaps between the input catalogs and the luminosity ratios when measurements from different surveys are available, and gives notes on individual objects. The MCXC is made available so as to provide maximum usefulness for X-ray, Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) and other multiwavelength studies. The catalogs and sub-catalogs included in this meta-catalog are listed in Table 1 of the reference paper, and come from the following references: <pre> Catalog Sub- Reference Title Catalog or CDS Cat.

M 51 Deep Chandra ACIS X-Ray Point Source Catalog
Short Name:
M51CXO2
Date:

Publisher:
NASA/GSFC HEASARC
Description:
The authors obtained a deep X-ray image of the nearby galaxy M 51 using the Chandra X-Ray Observatory. Here the catalog of X-ray sources detected in these observations is presented, while an overview of the properties of the point-source population is provided in the reference paper. The authors find 298 sources within the D<sub>25</sub> radii (the apparent major isophotal galactic radii measured at or reduced to the surface brightness level mu<sub>B</sub> = 25.0 B-mag per square arcsecond) of NGC 5194 and NGC 5195, of which 20% are variable, a dozen are classical transients, and another half dozen are transient-like sources. The typical number of active ultraluminous X-ray sources in any given observation is ~5, and only two of those sources persist in an ultraluminous state over the 12 years of observations. Given reasonable assumptions about the supernova remnant population, the luminosity function is well described by a power law with an index between 1.55 and 1.7, only slightly shallower than that found for populations dominated by high-mass X-ray binaries (HMXBs), which suggests that the binary population in NGC 5194 is also dominated by HMXBs. The luminosity function of NGC 5195 is more consistent with a low-mass X-ray binary dominated population. This deep study of M51 is composed of 107 ks of archival Chandra observations, to which the authors added another 745 ks of observations. The Chandra ObsIDs and parameters of all of the observations used in this study (which span from June 2000 to October 2012) are given in Table 2 of the reference paper. All of the observations were made with the ACIS-S array. The authors used the ACIS Extract software package (AE) to perform the photometry. For each source, AE extracted a source region whose size and shape were based on the local PSF, and a background region whose size and shape were based on the size of the local PSF and the location of nearby sources. Source properties were then calculated in a standard manner. Of particular importance in this analysis is the prob_no_source parameter, which is the probability that one could measure the observed count rate in the absence of a source. The authors took a source to be significant only if this parameter was < 5 x 10<sup>-6</sup>. At this probability threshold, one would expect a single spurious source per field, or roughly 1.5 spurious sources within the D<sub>25</sub> regions. As they used the same value in their analysis of M83 (Long et al. 2014, ApJS, 212, 21, the source catalog from which is available in the HEASARC database as the <a href="/W3Browse/chandra/m83cxo.html">M83CXO</a> table), the two catalogs are directly comparable.

NASA/GSFC HEASARC
Description:
The largest Local Group spiral galaxy, M 31, has been completely imaged for the first time, with an obtained luminosity lower limit ~10<sup>35</sup>erg/s in the 0.2 - 4.5 keV band. This XMM-Newton EPIC survey combines archival observations along the major axis, from June 2000 to July 2004, with observations taken between June 2006 and February 2008 that cover the remainder of the D<sub>25</sub> ellipse. The main goal of the present paper was to study the X-ray source populations of M31. An X-ray catalog of 1897 sources was created ('the XMM LP-total catalog'), with 914 sources detected for the first time. Source classification and identification were based on X-ray hardness ratios, spatial extents of the sources, and cross correlation with catalogs in the X-ray, optical, infrared and radio wavelengths. The authors also analysed the long-term variability of the X-ray sources and this variability allowed them to distinguish between X-ray binaries and active galactic nuclei (AGN). Furthermore, supernova remnant classifications of previous studies that did not use long-term variability as a classification criterion could be validated. Including previous Chandra and ROSAT observations in the long-term variability study allowed the authors to detect additional transient or at least highly variable sources, which are good candidate X-ray binaries. Fourteen of the 30 supersoft source (SSS) candidates represent supersoft emission of optical novae. Many of the 25 supernova remnants (SNRs) and 31 SNR candidates lie within the 10 kpc dust ring and other star-forming regions in M 31. This connection between SNRs and star-forming regions implies that most of the remnants originate in type II supernovae. The brightest sources in X-rays in M 31 belong to the class of X-ray binaries (XRBs). Ten low-mass XRBs (LMXBs) and 26 LMXB candidates were identified based on their temporal variability. In addition, 36 LMXBs and 17 LMXB candidates were identified owing to correlations with globular clusters and globular cluster candidates. From optical and X-ray colour-colour diagrams, possible high-mass XRB (HMXB) candidates were selected. Two of these candidates have an X-ray spectrum as expected for an HMXB containing a neutron star primary. While this survey has greatly improved our understanding of the X-ray source populations in M 31, at this point 65% of the sources can still only be classified as "hard" sources; i.e. it is not possible to decide whether these sources are X-ray binaries or Crab-like supernova remnants in M 31 or X-ray sources in the background. Deeper observations in X-ray and at other wavelengths would help to classify these sources. This table was created by the HEASARC in October 2011 based on <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/A+A/534/A55">CDS Catalog J/A+A/534/A55</a> files table5.dat and table8.dat.

Description:
The authors have obtained a deep 8-field XMM-Newton mosaic of M33 covering the galaxy out to the D<sub>25</sub> isophote and beyond to a limiting 0.2-4.5 keV unabsorbed flux of 5 x 10<sup>-16</sup> erg cm<sup>-2</sup> s<sup>-1</sup> (L > 4 x 10<sup>34</sup> erg s<sup>-1</sup> at the 817 kpc distance of M33). These data allow complete coverage of the galaxy with high sensitivity to soft sources such as diffuse hot gas and supernova remnants (SNRs). In the reference paper, the authors describe the methods they used to identify and characterize 1296 point sources in the 8 fields. They compare their resulting source catalog to the literature, note variable sources, construct hardness ratios, classify soft sources, analyze the source density profile, and measure the X-ray luminosity function (XLF). As a result of the large effective area of XMM-Newton below 1 keV, the survey contains many new soft X-ray sources. The radial source density profile and XLF for the sources suggest that only ~15% of the 391 bright sources with L > 3.6 x 10<sup>35</sup> erg s<sup>-1</sup> are likely to be associated with M33, and more than a third of these are known SNRs. The log(N)-log(S) distribution, when corrected for background contamination, is a relatively flat power law with a differential index of 1.5, which suggests that many of the other M33 sources may be high-mass X-ray binaries. Finally, the authors note the discovery of an interesting new transient X-ray source, which they are unable to classify. The list of XMM-Newton observations used for this survey is given in Table 1 of the reference paper. The data reduction and source detection techniques are described in Section 3 of this same reference.

Description:
The X-ray source populations within galaxies are typically difficult to identify and classify with X-ray data alone. The authors break through this barrier by combining deep new Chandra ACIS-I observations with extensive Hubble Space Telescope (HST) imaging from the Panchromatic Hubble Andromeda Treasury (PHAT) of the M 31 disk. They detect 373 X-ray sources down to 0.35-8.0keV flux of 10<sup>-15</sup>erg/cm<sup>-2</sup>/s over 0.4deg<sup>2</sup>, 170 of which are reported for the first time. The authors identify optical counterpart candidates for 188 of the 373 sources, after using the HST data to correct the absolute astrometry of our Chandra imaging to 0.1". These data are available at <a href="/W3Browse/chandra/m31phatcxo.html">M31PHATCXO</a>. For point-like counterparts, the authors examine the star formation history of the surrounding stellar populations to look for a young component that could be associated with a high-mass X-ray binary. This table presents the star formation histories for a subset of sources in the <a href="/W3Browse/chandra/m31phatcxo.html">M31PHATCXO catalog</a>. About one-third of the point sources are not physically associated with a young population, and are therefore more likely to be background galaxies. For the 40 point-like counterpart candidates associated with young populations, the authors find that their age distribution has two peaks at 15-20Myr and 40-50Myr. Considering only the 8 counterpart candidates with typical high-mass main-sequence optical star colors, their age distribution peaks mimic those of the sample of 40. Finally, the authors find that intrinsic faintness, and not extinction, is the main limitation for finding further counterpart candidates. In 2015 October, the authors observed the Panchromatic Hubble Andromeda Treasury (PHAT) footprint with Chandra with 7 pointings. The footprints are overlaid on a GALEX NUV image of M 31, along with the corresponding HST coverage, in Figure 1 of the reference paper. At each pointing they observed for about 50 ks in VF mode (Chandra ObsID 17008 to 17014 spanning 2015 Oct 06 to 2015 Oct 26).
