- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- This is the complete X-ray source catalog of the ASCA Medium Sensitivity Survey, AMSS, or the Gas Imaging Spectrometer (GIS) catalog project. It has been constructed from data for fields covering Galactic latitudes |b| > 10 degrees which were obtained with the GIS instrument onboard the ASCA satellite between 1993 May and 1996 December (part I) and between 1997 January and 2000 May (part II). Part I of this catalog (AMSS-I) utilizes 368 combined fields, and contains 1343 sources (including target sources) with detection significance above 5 sigma in at least one of the 3 survey bands of 0.7-7.0, 2-10, or 0.7-2.0 keV, while AMSS-II uses 306 fields, and contains a total of 1190 sources, using the same criteria. The AMSS-I and AMSS-II catalogs together contain 2533 sources from an area of 278 square degrees and provide a unique database of X-ray sources in the flux range of 10<sup>-13</sup> to 10<sup>-11</sup> erg cm<sup>-2</sup> s<sup>-1</sup> (0.7-10 keV). The published paper contains a summary of the statistical properties of a complete X-ray sample consisting of 1969 serendipitous sources selected from AMSS-I and AMSS-II. For each source, the ASCA source name, position, 90% error radius, count rates (both observed and as corrected for Galactic absorption) in the 3 energy bands, detection signifances and fluxes in the 3 energy bands, and hardness ratio and associated error are provided. This version of the Browse ASCAGIS table containing the combined AMSS-I and AMSS-II source lists was created by the HEASARC in February 2006 based on the CDS version of the AMSS-I source list (<a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/ApJS/133/1">CDS catalog J/ApJS/133/1</a>) and the electronic ApJS version of the AMSS-II source list.

- Description:
- The ASCA Large Sky Survey (LSS) was the first wide-area unbiased survey with the ASCA satellite in the 0.7 - 10 keV band around the North Galactic Pole region covering a continuous area of 7 square degrees. To make the best use of ASCA's capabilities, the authors developed a new source detection method in which the complicated detector responses were fully taken into account. Applying this method to the entire LSS data independently in the total (0.7 - 7 keV), hard (2 - 10 keV), and soft (0.7 - 2 keV) bands, they detected 107 sources altogether, with sensitivity limits of 6 x 10<sup>-14</sup> (0.7 - 7 keV), 1 x 10<sup>-13</sup> (2 - 10 keV), and 2 x 10<sup>-14</sup> ergs/s/cm<sup>2</sup> (0.7 - 2 keV), respectively. The complete list of detected sources is presented in this table. The detection criteria that needed to be satisfied were: (i) the significance of the summed count rate of the GIS and the SIS should exceed 4.5, and (ii) the significance of either the GIS or the SIS should also exceed 3.5. This database was created by the HEASARC in December 2001 based on the ADC/<a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/ApJ/518/656">CDS Catalog J/ApJ/518/656</a>.

- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- The ASCAMASTER table contains data on all ASCA observations that were ever in any of the following states: 'Accepted', 'Scheduled Long-Term', 'Scheduled Short-Term', 'Processed', and 'Archived'. The final status of an observation is given by the parameter Status. Specific dates that affect the status of an observation are listed as the parameters scheduled_date, observed_date, processed_date, archived_date, and cycle. Notice that, if one or more of the date parameters are empty for a given observation, this means that that those particular processes have not occurred: e.g., if observed_date is empty, this means that the planned observation was not observed.

- Description:
- The ASCAO database contains the listing of accepted targets from all proposals submitted in repsonse to the ASCA Guest Observer (GO) Announcements of Opportunities (AOs), as well as the targets that were selected for the Performance Verification (PV) phase. The current version of ASCAO includes all accepted targets from AOs 1 through 8.5 inclusive. Notice that, since the accepted targets include Priority 3 ones of which only a fraction have or will actually be observed, some of the listed targets in this database will never have been observed. To obtain more detailed information about the status of particular targets, please consult either the Master ASCA database table (ASCAMASTER) or the ASCA Observing Log database table (ASCALOG). This database was last updated in August 2000 based on information provided by the ASCA Project. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

- ASCA SIS Source Catalog
- Short Name:
- ASCASIS
- Date:
- 07 Mar 2025
- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- This preliminary ASCA SIS Source Catalog contains a list of point sources detected by the Solid-state Imaging Spectrometers (SIS) on-board the ASCA Observatory. This catalog was generated by searching for point-like sources in all data available from the HEASARC's ASCA public archive (ASCAPUBLIC) as of 24 Oct 1996; and is populated by both target and serendipitous sources in the SIS field-of-view. For each catalogued source various information is available, which includes the celestial coordinates of the source, the count rate, the significance of detection, and the hardness ratio, total aperture counts, exposure time, and start time of the observation. In addition, a set of three GIF "thumbnail" images is available in the broad (0.5 - 12 keV), soft (2 < keV), and hard (> 2 keV) spectral bands centered on the apparent detection. These images are convenient for accessing the quality of the source detection. The current catalog is preliminary, the goal of the catalog authors being to make the SIS source list available as quickly as possible. To accomplish this, they took an incremental approach and placed their "work in progress" on-line, warts and all. They urge caution in using and citing these preliminary results, as they point out that the information is not, as yet, 100% reliable. This catalog was generated in January 1997 by Drs. Eric Gotthelf and Nicholas White and resulted from their search for point-like sources in all of the then-available SIS data files in the HEASARC's Public ASCA Data Archive as of 24 Oct 1996. The catalog is populated with both targeted and serendipitous sources that were present in the SIS field-of-view. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- This table contains the dynamic version of the Asiago Supernova Catalog. It supersedes the original 1999 version by Barbon et al. (1999A&AS..139..531B, Cat. II/227), and contains data about the supernovae observed since 1885 and their parent galaxies through a few days prior to the most recent update. In addition to the list of newly discovered SNe, the literature has been searched for new information on past SNe as well. The data for the parent galaxies have also been homogenized. This table was created by the HEASARC based on the <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/B/sn">CDS Catalog B/sn</a>. The CDS updates it regularly, and this HEASARC version is accordingly updated within a week of such updates. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

- Description:
- For a number of years there has been a great demand for a high-density catalog of accurate stellar positions and proper motions that maintains a consistent system of reference over the entire sky. The Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory Star Catalog (SAO; SAO Staff 1966) has partially met those requirements, but its positions brought to current epochs now contain errors on the order of 1 second of arc, plus the proper motions in the SAO differ systematically with one another depending on their source catalogs. With the completion of the Second Cape Photographic Catalogue (CPC2; de Vegt et al. 1989), a photographic survey comparable in density to the AGK3 (Dieckvoss 1975) was finally available for the southern hemisphere. These two catalogs were used as a base and matched against the AGK2 (Schorr & Kohlschuetter 1951-58), Yale photographic zones (Yale Trans., Vols. 11-32), First Cape Photographic Catalogue (CPC1; Jackson & Stoy 1954, 55, 58; Stoy 1966), Sydney Southern Star Catalogue (King & Lomb 1983), Sydney Zone Catalogue -48 to -54 degrees (Eichhorn et al. 1983), 124 meridian circle catalogs, and catalogs of recent epochs, such as the Carlsberg Meridian Catalogue, La Palma (CAMC), USNO Zodiacal Zone Catalog (Douglass & Harrington 1990), and the Perth 83 Catalogue (Harwood [1990]) to obtain as many input positions as possible. All positions were then reduced to the system of the FK4 (Fricke & Kopff 1963) using a combination of the FK4, the FK4 Supplement as improved by H. Schwan of the Astronomisches Rechen-Institut in Heidelberg, and the International Reference Stars (IRS; Corbin 1991), then combined with the CPC2 and AGK3. The total number of input positions from which the ACRS was formed is 1,643,783. The original catalog is divided into two parts. Part 1 contains the stars having better observational histories and, therefore, more reliable positions and proper motions. This part constitutes 78 percent of the catalog; the mean errors of the proper motions are +/-0.47 arcsec per century and +/-0.46 arcsec per century in right ascension and declination, respectively. The stars in Part 2 have poor observational histories and consist mostly of objects for which only two catalog positions in one or both coordinates were available for computing the proper motions. Where accuracy is the primary consideration, only the stars in Part 1 should be used, while if the highest possible density is desired, the two parts should be combined. The ACRS was compiled at the U. S. Naval Observatory with the intention that it be used for new reductions of the Astrographic Catalogue (AC) plates. These plates are small in area (2 x 2 deg) and the IRS is not dense enough. Whereas the ACRS was compiled using the same techniques developed to produce the IRS, it became clear as the work progressed that the ACRS would have applications far beyond its original purpose. With accurate positions and proper motions rigorously reduced to both the FK4 and FK5 (Fricke et al. 1988) systems, it does more than simply replace the SAO. Rather, it provides the uniform system of reference stars that has been needed for many years by those who require densities greater than the IRS and with high accuracy over a wide range of epochs. It is intended that, as additional observations become available, stars will be migrated from Part 2 to Part 1, with the hope that eventually the ACRS will be complete in one part. Additional details concerning the compilation and properties of the ACRS can be found in Corbin & Urban (1989) except that the star counts and errors given here supersede the ones given in 1989. The HEASARC revised this database table in August, 2005, in order to add Galactic coordinates. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

- Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) Extragalactic Southern Sources Catalog
- Short Name:
- ACTSOUTH
- Date:
- 07 Mar 2025
- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- The ACTSOUTH catalog is a multi-frequency, multi-epoch catalog of extragalactic sources, based on 150, 220 and 280 GHz observations carried out in 2008, 2009 and 2010 using the Millimeter Bolometric Array Camera on the Atacama Cosmology Telescope. The catalog contains 695 sources, found in a sky area of ~600 square degrees. It is obtained by cross-matching sources found in 11 sub-catalogs, one for each season and frequency band. Also include are co-added data from ~150 and ~160 square degrees using 2 and 3 years of overlapping observations. The authors divide the sources into two populations, synchrotron and dusty emitters, based on their spectral behavior in the 150 - 220 GHz frequency range. They find 374 synchrotron sources and 321 dusty source candidates. Cross-matching with catalogs from radio to X-ray results in 264 synchrotron sources (71%) and 89 dusty sources (28%) with counterparts, suggesting that 232 dusty candidates are not in existing catalogs. This table was ingested by the HEASARC in November 2023 based upon the files downloaded from the LAMBDA archive at <a href="https://lambda.gsfc.nasa.gov/product/act/act_south_cat_get.html">https://lambda.gsfc.nasa.gov/product/act/act_south_cat_get.html</a>.
