Title:
Second Byurakan Survey galaxies. Optical database
Short Name:
VII/264
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
A database for the entire catalog of the Second Byurakan Survey (SBS) galaxies is presented. It contains new measurements of their optical parameters and additional information taken from the literature and other databases. The measurements were made using Ipg(near-infrared), Fpg(red) and Jpg(blue) band images from photographic sky survey plates obtained by the Palomar Schmidt telescope and extracted from the STScI Digital Sky Survey (DSS). The database provides accurate coordinates, morphological type, spectral and activity classes, apparent magnitudes and diameters, axial ratios, and position angles, as well as number counts of neighboring objects in a circle of radius 50kpc. The total number of individual SBS objects in the database is now 1676. The 188 Markarian galaxies which were re-discovered by SBS are not included in this database. We also include redshifts that are now available for 1576 SBS objects, as well as 2MASS infrared magnitudes for 1117 SBS galaxies.

CDS
Description:
The Second Byurakan Survey (SBS) General Catalogue is presented. The SBS, a continuation of the Markarian survey reaching fainter limiting magnitudes, is the first survey which combines the search of galaxies and QSOs. A total area of 991 square degrees of the Northern sky was covered with the use of three objective prisms in combination with Schott filters. The limited magnitude on the best plates reached B~19.5. The General Catalogue consists of 3563 objects presented in two parts: a Catalogue of galaxies (1863 objects) and one of stellar objects (1700 objects). The Catalogue of SBS AGN consists of 761 objects (155 SyG, 596 QSOs, and 10 BLLac). Multi-wavelength data are presented for 1438 SBS objects identified with X-ray, IRAS and FIRST sources. Spectrophotometric observations obtained over 26 years are available for 3132 objects. Redshifts were measured for ~2100 extragalactic objects. Spectral classification is presented for ~2970 objects. The majority of the data is presented here for the first time. The Catalogue presents new large homogeneous deep representative complete samples of bright QSOs, AGNs, and faint UVX galaxies in the Northern sky. The SBS sample is found to be complete at 70% for galaxies and ~85% for AGN/QSOs with B<=17.5.

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
The Second Cape Photographic Catalogue (CPC2) is an astrometric, photographic catalog covering the entire Southern Hemisphere to a limiting magnitude of about 10.5. The Hipparcos Catalogue has been used for a new, plate-by-plate, rigorous reduction. A significant improvement over the release 1 version of the data was achieved. With an average accuracy of 53 mas and a mean epoch of 1968, the CPC2 is a key catalog for proper-motion determination. This release 2 of the CPC2 contains high-quality positions of 266629 stars and an appendix of 8040 other stars. Catalog reduction and construction details are given, as well as a description of the final product, which is available from the US Naval Observatory.

Title:
Second epoch VLBA Calibrator Survey (VCS-II)
Short Name:
J/AJ/151/154
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
Six very successful Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) calibrator survey campaigns were run between 1994 and 2007 to build up a large list of compact radio sources with positions precise enough for use as very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) phase reference calibrators. We report on the results of a second epoch VLBA Calibrator Survey campaign (VCS-II) in which 2400 VCS sources were re-observed in the X and S bands in order to improve the upcoming third realization of the International Celestial Reference Frame (ICRF3) as well as to improve their usefulness as VLBI phase reference calibrators. In this survey, some 2062 previously detected sources and 324 previously undetected sources were detected and revised positions are presented. Average position uncertainties for the re-observed sources were reduced from 1.14 and 1.98mas to 0.24 and 0.41mas in R.A. and decl., respectively, or by nearly a factor of 5. Minimum detected flux values were approximately 15 and 28mJy in the X and S bands, respectively, and median total fluxes are approximately 230 and 280mJy. The vast majority of these sources are flat-spectrum sources, with ~82% having spectral indices greater than -0.5.

Description:
The Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer satellite was launched on June 7, 1992 from Cape Canaveral, Florida on a Delta II rocket. The payload contains three EUV scanning telescopes equipped with imaging detectors as well as a Deep Survey Spectrometer instrument which divides the light from a fourth telescope between an imaging detector and three EUV spectrometers. The wavelength range is 10-60nm, corresponding to an energy range of 20-120eV, in the 4 bands: 10nm : Lexan/Boron, 58-174{AA}, 89{AA}peak DS: Lexan/Boron, 67-178{AA}, 91{AA}peak (Deep Survey) 20nm : Al/Ti/C, 156-234{AA}, 171{AA}peak DS: Al/C, 157-364{AA}, 171{AA}peak (Deep Survey) 40nm : Ti/Sb/Ti/Al, 368-590{AA}, 405{AA}peak 60nm : Sn/SiO, 519-742{AA}, 555{AA}peak More details about the EUVE performances may be found in the paper by Sirk et al. (1997ApJS..110..347S) The EUVE Source Catalog published in 1996 paper is made of three source tables, plus a list of associations for each table: - survey.dat lists the 514 objects detected during the all-sky survey. - deepsurv.dat lists the 35 sources detected by the deep survey of half the ecliptic plane; three deep survey objects are also detected in the all-sky survey. - detect.dat lists 188 sources that have been detected in other ways, principally by deep exposures with the scanner telescopes as part of the Right Angle Program through 24 December 1994 (later RAP detections are reported in the 1999 paper) The corresponding association tables are idsurvey, iddeepsu.dat and iddetect.dat respectively, in which one EUVE source may by associated to 0, one or more counterparts. In nearly all cases the associated objects lie within 1arcmin of the actual source position. The all-sky catalog of faint EUV sources published in 1997 lists the faint sources detected jointly by EUVE and ROSAT WFC. The 1999 paper lists the detections made from the observations since the first EUVE RAP catalog (1994 January) and covers 17% of the sky.
1676. Second IBIS/ISGRI soft gamma-ray survey catalog
ID:

Title:
Second IBIS/ISGRI soft gamma-ray survey catalog
Short Name:
J/ApJ/636/765
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
In this paper we report the second soft gamma-ray source catalog obtained with the IBIS/ISGRI gamma-ray imager on board the INTEGRAL satellite. The scientific data set is based on more than 10Ms of high-quality observations performed during the first 2 years of Core Program and public IBIS/ISGRI observations, and covers 50% of the whole sky. The main aim of the first survey was to scan systematically, for the first time at energies above 20keV, the whole Galactic plane to achieve a limiting sensitivity of 1mCrab in the central radian. The target of the second year of the INTEGRAL mission lifetime was to expand as much as possible our knowledge of the soft gamma-ray sky, with the same limiting sensitivity, to at least 50% of the whole sky, mainly by including a substantial coverage of extragalactic fields. This catalog comprises more than 200 high-energy sources detected in the energy range 20-100keV, including new transients not active during the first year of operation, faint persistent objects revealed with longer exposure time, and several Galactic and extragalactic sources in sky regions not observed in the first survey. The mean position error for all the sources detected with significance above 10{sigma} is 40", enough to identify most of them with a known X-ray counterpart and to unveil the nature of most of the strongly absorbed ones, even though they are very difficult to detect in X-rays.
1677. Second INTEGRAL AGN catalogue
ID:
ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/A+A/505/417
Title:
Second INTEGRAL AGN catalogue
Short Name:
J/A+A/505/417
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
The INTEGRAL mission provides a large data set for studying the hard X-ray properties of AGN and allows testing the unified scheme for AGN. We present analysis of INTEGRAL IBIS/ISGRI, JEM-X, and OMC data for 199 AGN that have been reported to be detected by INTEGRAL above 20keV. The data analysed here allow a significant spectral extraction on 148 objects and optical variability study of 57 AGN. The slopes of the hard X-ray spectra of Seyfert 1 and Seyfert 2 galaxies are found to be consistent within the uncertainties, whereas lower luminosities are measured for the more absorbed/type 2 AGN. The intermediate Seyfert 1.5 objects exhibit hard X-ray spectra consistent with those of Seyfert 1. When applying a Compton reflection model, the underlying continua appear still the same in Seyfert 1 and 2 with photon index 2, and the reflection strength is about R=1, when assuming different inclination angles. A significant correlation is found between the hard X-ray and optical luminosity and the mass of the central black hole in the sense that the more luminous objects appear to be more massive. There is also a general trend for the absorbed sources and type 2 AGN to have lower Eddington ratios. The black hole mass appears to form a fundamental plane together with the optical and X-ray luminosity of the form LV being proportional to LX^0.6^.M^0.2^, similar to that found between radio luminosity LR, LX, and M. The unified model for Seyfert galaxies seems to hold, showing in hard X-rays that the central engine is the same in Seyfert 1 and 2 but seen under different inclination angles and absorption.
1678. Second Kiso Survey for UV-Excess Galaxies (KUG2)
ID:
ivo://CDS.VizieR/VII/261
Title:
Second Kiso Survey for UV-Excess Galaxies (KUG2)
Short Name:
VII/261
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We have continued the surveys of ultraviolet-excess galaxies (abbreviated as KUGs) with the 105cm Kiso Schmidt telescope for two decades. The first survey was summarized in Takase and Miyauchi-Isobe (1993b), which lists 8,104 KUGs in 5,100 square degrees area. The second survey has been followed the first survey with a similar method, and lists 1,985 objects in 1,860 square degrees area in 6 papers (Miyauchi-Isobe and Maehara 1998-2006), supplementing the first survey. The second survey is completed with this lists, because the similar method (i.e. to use photographic plates) has become impossible at Kiso Schmidt telescope. There are some differences in photographic plates used and the observation condition in the surveys, such as emulsions, exposures or seeing sizes. Thus the homogeneity of the KUG survey is rather low, but its catalogue forms a somewhat large collection of UV-excess/blue galaxies. In these circumstances, we intend to merge both catalogues, upon requests from investigators working in follow-up observations of these galaxies. In the process of catalogue merging, we met a systematic difference between the first (KUG1) and the second (KUG2) surveys in overall properties of objects, such as brightness, degree of UV-excess and morphological type. This mainly originates from differences in the observation condition and personal errors in the survey. We scrutinize and discuss those differences and errors, and finally merge into a comprehensive catalogue of KUGs (KUG2000) in the machine-readable form including near ten thousand UV-excess galaxies.
1679. Second Planck Catalogue of Compact Sources (PCCS2)
ID:
ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/A+A/594/A26
Title:
Second Planck Catalogue of Compact Sources (PCCS2)
Short Name:
J/A+A/594/A26
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
The Second Planck Catalogue of Compact Sources is a list of discrete objects detected in single-frequency maps from the full duration of the Planck mission and supersedes previous versions. It consists of compact sources, both Galactic and extragalactic, detected over the entire sky. Compact sources detected in the lower frequency channels are assigned to the PCCS2, while at higher frequencies they are assigned to one of two subcatalogues, the PCCS2 or PCCS2E, depending on their location on the sky. The first of these (PCCS2) covers most of the sky and allows the user to produce subsamples at higher reliabilities than the target 80% integral reliability of the catalogue. The second (PCCS2E) contains sources detected in sky regions where the diffuse emission makes it difficult to quantify the reliability of the detections. Both the PCCS2 and PCCS2E include polarization measurements, in the form of polarized flux densities, or upper limits, and orientation angles for all seven polarization-sensitive Planck channels. The improved data-processing of the full-mission maps and their reduced noise levels allow us to increase the number of objects in the catalogue, improving its completeness for the target 80% reliability as compared with the previous versions, the PCCS and the Early Release Compact Source Catalogue (ERCSC).
1680. Second ROSAT all-sky survey (2RXS) source catalog
ID:
ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/A+A/588/A103
Title:
Second ROSAT all-sky survey (2RXS) source catalog
Short Name:
J/A+A/588/A103
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present the second ROSAT all-sky survey source catalogue, hereafter referred to as the 2RXS catalogue. This is the second publicly released ROSAT catalogue of point-like sources obtained from the ROSAT all-sky survey (RASS) observations performed with the position-sensitive proportional counter (PSPC) between June 1990 and August 1991, and is an extended and revised version of the bright and faint source catalogues. We used the latest version of the RASS processing to produce overlapping X-ray images of 6.4 by 6.4 degrees sky regions. To create a source catalogue, a likelihood-based detection algorithm was applied to these, which accounts for the variable point-spread function (PSF) across the PSPC field of view. Improvements in the background determination compared to 1RXS were also implemented. X-ray control images showing the source and background extraction regions were generated, which were visually inspected. Simulations were performed to assess the spurious source content of the 2RXS catalogue. X-ray spectra and light curves were extracted for the 2RXS sources, with spectral and variability parameters derived from these products. We obtained about 135,000 X-ray detections in the 0.1-2.4keV energy band down to a likelihood threshold of 6.5, as adopted in the 1RXS faint source catalogue. Our simulations show that the expected spurious content of the catalogue is a strong function of detection likelihood, and the full catalogue is expected to contain about 30 per cent spurious detections. A more conservative likelihood threshold of 9, on the other hand, yields about 71,000 detections with a 5 per cent spurious fraction. We recommend thresholds appropriate to the scientific application. X-ray images and overlaid X-ray contour lines provide an additional user product to evaluate the detections visually, and we performed our own visual inspections to flag uncertain detections. Intra-day variability in the X-ray light curves was quantified based on the normalised excess variance and a maximum amplitude variability analysis. X-ray spectral fits were performed using three basic models, a power law, a thermal plasma emission model, and black-body emission. Thirty-two large extended regions with diffuse emission and embedded point sources were identified and excluded from the present analysis. The 2RXS catalogue provides the deepest and cleanest X-ray all-sky survey catalogue in advance of eROSITA.
