South Pole Telescope Sunyaev-Zeldovich Survey Point Source Catalog (2020)
This database table presents the catalog of emissive point-sources detected in the South Pole Telescope Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SPT-SZ) survey, which is a contiguous 2530 deg<sup>2</sup> area surveyed between 2008-2011 in three bands centered at 95, 150, and 220 GHz. The catalog contains 4845 sources measured at a significance of 4.5 sigma or greater in at least one band, corresponding to detections above approximately 9.8, 5.8, and 20.4 mJy in 95, 150, and 220 GHz, respectively. Spectral behavior in the SPT bands is used for source classification into two populations based on the underlying physical mechanisms of compact, emissive sources that are bright at millimeter wavelengths: synchrotron radiation from active galactic nuclei and thermal emission from dust. The latter population includes a component of high-redshift sources often referred to as submillimeter galaxies (SMGs). In the relatively bright flux ranges probed by the survey, these sources are expected to be magnified by strong gravitational lensing. The survey also contains sources consistent with protoclusters, groups of dusty galaxies at high redshift undergoing collapse. The authors cross-match the SPT-SZ catalog with external catalogs at radio, infrared, and X-ray wavelengths and identify available redshift information. The catalog splits into 3980 synchrotron-dominated and 865 dust-dominated sources and determines a list of 506 SMGs. 10 sources are identified as stars. The SPT is a 10-m telescope located at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole station in Antarctica. At 150 GHz (2 mm), the SPT has arcminute angular resolution and a 1 deg<sup>2</sup> diffraction-limited field of view. The SPT was designed for high-sensitivity millimeter/sub-millimeter observations of faint, low-contrast sources, such as CMB anisotropies. The first survey with the SPT, designated as the SPT-SZ survey, was completed in 2011 November and covers a ~2500 deg<sup>2</sup> region of the southern extragalactic sky in three frequency bands, 95, 150, and 220 GHz, corresponding to wavelengths of 3.2, 2.0, and 1.4 mm. The fields were surveyed to depths of approximately 40, 18, and 70 microK arcmin at 95, 150, and 220 GHz, respectively. This study uses data from 19 fields observed by the SPT between 2008 and 2011. The fields are referred to using the J2000 coordinates of their centers, Right Ascension in hours and Declination in degrees. Table 1 in the reference paper lists the positions and effective areas of these fields.The total effective area used for the catalog and analysis in this present work is 2530 deg<sup>2</sup>. The catalog is an extension of two previous works: Vieira et al. (2010, ApJ, 719, 763) and Mocanu et al. (2013, ApJ, 779, 61) and builds on the same analysis pipeline, adding 1759 deg<sup>2</sup> of newly analyzed data, and additional data for two fields which were re-observed in 2010 and 2011. This table was originally created by the HEASARC in January 2014. It was updated to the 2020 version of this catalog in July 2020, based on a machine-readable catalog which was obtained from the <a href="https://lambda.gsfc.nasa.gov/product/spt/spt_everett2020_ps_catalog_info.cfm">LAMBDA</a> website.

Spitzer Extragalactic First Look Survey IRAC Ch2 Verification Field Catalog
The Extragalactic First Look Survey is composed of 4 square degrees of imaging with MIPS and IRAC centered at J1718+5930, with extensive ancillary data from ground-based optical and radio telescopes. As one of the first observations made with Spitzer after the completion of Science Verification at the end of 2003 November, the aim of this 67 hr survey was to characterize the extragalactic source populations observed with Spitzer down to sub-millijansky levels in the mid-infrared.
XMM-Newton COSMOS (XMM-COSMOS) Survey Photometric Redshift Catalog
In their paper, the authors release accurate photometric redshifts for 1692 counterparts to Chandra sources in the central square degree of the Cosmic Evolution Survey (COSMOS) field. The availability of a large training set of spectroscopic redshifts that extends to faint magnitudes enabled photometric redshifts comparable to the highest quality results presently available for normal galaxies. The authors demonstrate that morphologically extended, faint X-ray sources without optical variability are more accurately described by a library of normal galaxies (corrected for emission lines) than by active galactic nucleus (AGN) dominated templates, even if these sources have AGNlike X-ray luminosities. Preselecting the library on the bases of the source properties allowed them to reach an accuracy sigma[Delta-z/(1+Z<sub>spec</sub>)] ~ 0.015 with a fraction of outliers of 5.8% for the entire Chandra-COSMOS sample. These Chandra sources are not contained in this table but are available in the HEASARC table CCOSMPHOTZ). In addition, in this study the authors released revised photometric redshifts for the 1735 optical counterparts of the XMM-detected sources over the entire 2 deg<sup>2</sup> of COSMOS, and these are the sources listed in the present table. For 248 sources, their updated photometric redshift differs from the previous release by Delta-z > 0.2. These changes are predominantly due to the inclusion of newly available deep H-band^ photometry (H<sub>AB</sub> = 24 mag). The authors illustrate once again the importance of a spectroscopic training sample and how an assumption about the nature of a source together, with the number and the depth of the available bands, influences the accuracy of the photometric redshifts determined for AGN. These considerations should be kept in mind when defining the observational strategies of upcoming large surveys targeting AGNs, such as eROSITA at X-ray energies and the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder Evolutionary Map of the Universe in the radio band. This table contains the photometric redshifts and related quantities for 1735 XMM-Newton sources over the entire 2 square degrees of the COSMOS field. Notice that in the original as-published paper no positional information was provided. The HEASARC has assumed that the source numbers used in the present catalog are in the same source numbering scheme as used by Cappelluti et al. (2009, A&A, 497, 635, the XMM-Newton Wide-Field Survey in the COSMOS Field Point-like X-ray Source Catalog, available at the HEASARC as the XMMCOSMOS table) and thus obtained the positions and (position-based) names corresponding to these X-ray sources from the latter. This table was created by the HEASARC in November 2011 based on an electronic version of Table 5 from the reference paper which was obtained from the ApJ website.

M 101 Chandra X-Ray Point Source Catalog
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.

NGC 2547 XMM-Newton X-Ray Point Source Catalog
This table contains a list of point sources detected by XMM-Newton EPIC in a pointing towards the young open cluster NGC 2547, made in order to allow the authors to characterize coronal activity in solar-type stars, and stars of lower mass, at an age of 30 Myr. X-ray emission was seen from stars at all spectral types, peaking among G stars at luminosities (0.3 - 3 keV) of L<sub>x</sub> ~= 10<sup>30.5</sup> erg/s and declining to L<sub>x</sub> <= 10<sup>29</sup> erg/s among M stars with masses >=0.2 solar masses. Coronal spectra show evidence for multi-temperature differential emission measures and low coronal metal abundances of Z~= 0.3. Most of the solar-type stars in NGC 2547 exhibit saturated or even supersaturated X-ray activity levels. The median levels of L<sub>x</sub> and L<sub>x</sub>/L<sub>bol</sub> in the solar-type stars of NGC 2547 are very similar to those in T-Tauri stars of the Orion Nebula cluster (ONC), but an order of magnitude higher than in the older Pleiades. The spread in X-ray activity levels among solar-type stars in NGC 2547 is much smaller than in older or younger clusters. This table contains the properties of those X-ray sources which are correlated with optical cluster members (see Section 2.2 of the reference paper for details on the correlation procedure that was adopted), as well as the properties of those X-ray sources which are uncorrelated with any optical cluster members. The table lists the cross-identifications with optical catalogs for the candidate cluster sources along with their X-ray luminosities and X-ray to bolometric flux ratios, as well as the correlations between cluster members which were detected by XMM-Newton and those detected 7 years earlier by the ROSAT HRI instrument, along with the X-ray luminosities and flux ratios as determined by the HRI. This table was created by the HEASARC in February 2007 based on <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/MNRAS/367/781">CDS Catalog J/MNRAS/367/781</a> files table1.dat, table2.dat, table3.dat and table7.dat.

Fifth IBIS/ISGRI Soft Gamma-Ray Survey Catalog
This table contains an all-sky soft gamma-ray source catalog based on IBIS observations performed during the first 1000 orbits of INTEGRAL. The database for the construction of the source list consists of all good-quality data available, from the launch of INTEGRAL in 2002, up to the end of 2010. This corresponds to ~ 110 Ms of scientific public observations, with a concentrated coverage on the Galactic Plane and extragalactic deep exposures. This new catalog includes 939 sources above a 4.5-sigma significance threshold detected in the 17-100 keV energy band, of which 120 sources represent previously undiscovered soft gamma-ray emitters. The source positions are determined, mean fluxes are provided in two main energy bands, and these are both reported together with the overall source exposure. Indicative levels of variability are provided, and outburst times and durations are given for transient sources. In the reference paper, a comparison is made with previous IBIS catalogs and catalogs from other similar missions. This database table, the Fifth IBIS/ISGRI source catalog, was ingested by the HEASARC in September 2016 based on the machine-readable version of Table 2 of the above-cited paper, which was obtained from the CDS website. It replaced the previous (fourth) version. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .
MAXI Master Catalog
The MAXIMASTER database table records high-level information of the Monitor of All-sky X-ray Image (MAXI) observations and provides access to the data archive. MAXI is a Japanese experiment located at the International Space Station (ISS), designed to continuously monitor, through a systematic survey, X-ray sources as the ISS orbits Earth. MAXI was launched by the space shuttle Endeavour on 2009 July 16, then mounted on port No. 1 on JEM-EF on July 24. After the electric power was turned on, MAXI started nominal observations on 2009 August 3. The MAXI data are a copy of the MAXI data processing; the output of which is hosted at the DARTS archive located at ISAS (<a href="https://darts.isas.jaxa.jp/astro/maxi/">https://darts.isas.jaxa.jp/astro/maxi/</a>). This catalog is then generated at the HEASARC by collecting high-level information from the data and is updated regularly during operation. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .
Spitzer Extragalactic First Look Survey MIPS 24 micron Point Source Catalog
The Extragalactic First Look Survey is composed of 4 square degrees of imaging with MIPS and IRAC centered at J1718+5930, with extensive ancillary data from ground-based optical and radio telescopes. As one of the first observations made with Spitzer after the completion of Science Verification at the end of 2003 November, the aim of this 67 hr survey was to characterize the extragalactic source populations observed with Spitzer down to sub-millijansky levels in the mid-infrared.
Alpha Per Open Cluster XMM-Newton X-Ray Source Catalog
This table contains results from the analysis of an archival XMM-Newton observation of part of the Alpha Persei open cluster. The authors detected 102 X-ray sources in the energy band from 0.3 to 8.0 keV, of which 39 of them are associated with the cluster as evidenced by their appropriate magnitudes and colors from Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS) photometry. In the reference paper, the authors extend the X-ray luminosity distribution (XLD) of the Alpha Persei cluster for M dwarfs, to add to the XLD found for hotter dwarfs from spatially extensive surveys of the whole cluster by ROSAT. Some of the hotter stars are identified as a background, possible slightly older group of stars at a distance of approximately 500 pc. Alpha Per is a young open cluster, found to be 50 Myr old from its upper main sequence turnoff morphology (Meynet et al. 1993, A&AS, 98, 477). More recently, Stauffer et al. (1999, ApJ, 527, 219) have found an age of 90 Myr from the low mass lithium depletion boundary. In addition to being relatively nearby (170 pc; Randich et al. 1996, A&A, 305, 785), the Alpha Per cluster is also lightly reddened (E(B - V ) = 0.09 mag; Meynet et al. 1993), making the data interpretation relatively robust. A fraction of the Alpha Per cluster was observed by XMM-Newton as part of the Mission Scientist Guaranteed Time (Pallavicini et al., 2004, MmSAI, 75, 434). A 60-ks observation was obtained on 2000 September 5 using the EPIC MOS and PN cameras on board XMM-Newton with a pointing centered at RA: 3<sup>h</sup> 26<sup>m</sup> 16<sup>s</sup> and Dec: 48<sup>o</sup> 50<sup>m</sup> 29<sup>s</sup> (J2000.0).

30 Doradus Catalog ConeSearch
30 Doradus (a.k.a. the Tarantula Nebula), with its ionizing cluster R136, is one of the few known starbursts in the Local Group. For size (~200 pc in diameter) and density of OB stars, 30 Doradus parallels the regions of intense star formation observed in the starburst knots found in the interacting galaxies in the Local Universe and the young galaxies at high redshift (z>5). HTTP is a panchromatic imaging survey of stellar populations in the Tarantula Nebula in the Large Magellanic Cloud that reaches into the sub-solar mass regime. HTTP utilizes the capability of the Hubble Space Telescope to operate the Advanced Camera for Surveys and the Wide Field Camera 3 in parallel to study this remarkable region in the near-ultraviolet, optical, and near-infrared spectral regions, including narrow-band Hα images. The high sensitivity, spatial resolution and broadband coverage of HTTP allow us to dissect the stellar populations and infer an accurate description of the anatomy of the Tarantula Nebula, and therefore to reconstruct for the first time the temporal and spatial evolution of a prototypical starburst on a sub-parsec scale. All available catalogs are listed at http://archive.stsci.edu/vo/mast_services.html.
NGC 1332 Chandra X-Ray Compact Source Catalog
Chandra ACIS-S3 (Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer) observations of the nearby S0 galaxy NGC 1332 resolve much of the X-ray emission into 73 point sources, of which 37 lie within the D<sub>25</sub> isophote. The remaining galaxy emission comprises hot, diffuse gas and unresolved sources and is discussed in two companion papers. The point-source X-ray luminosity function (XLF) shows the characteristic break seen in other early-type galaxies at ~2 x 10<sup>38</sup> ergs s<sup>-1</sup>. After applying corrections for detection incompleteness at low luminosities due to source confusion and contamination from diffuse galactic emission, the break vanishes and the data are well described as a single power law. This result casts further doubt on there being a "universal" XLF break in early-type galaxies, marking the division between neutron star and black hole systems. The logarithmic slope of the differential XLF (dN/dL), beta = 2.7 +/- 0.5, is marginally (~2.5 sigma) steeper than has been found for analogous completeness-corrected fits of other early-type galaxies but closely matches the behavior seen at high luminosities in these systems. Two of the sources within D<sub>25</sub> are ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs), although neither have LX > 2 x 10<sup>39</sup> ergs s<sup>-1</sup>. The absence of very luminous ULXs in early-type galaxies suggests a break in the XLF slope at ~1-2 x 10<sup>39</sup> ergs s<sup>-1</sup>, although the data were not of sufficient quality to constrain such a feature in NGC 1332. The sources have a spatial distribution consistent with the optical light and display a range of characteristics that are consistent with an LMXB population. The general spectral characteristics of the individual sources, as well as the composite source spectra, are in good agreement with observations of other early-type galaxies, although a small number of highly absorbed sources are seen. Two sources have very soft spectra, two show strong variability, indicating compact binary nature, and one source shows evidence of an extended radial profile. The authors do not detect a central source in NGC 1332, but find a faint (L<sub>X</sub> = 2 +/- 1 x 10<sup>38</sup> ergs s<sup>-1</sup>) point source coincident with the center of the companion dwarf galaxy NGC 1331. The region of sky containing NGC 1332 was observed with the ACIS instrument aboard Chandra between 2002 September 19 10:39 and September 20 02:59 UTC for a nominal ~60 ksec exposure.. This table contains the 73 bona fide X-ray compact sources detected in this observation, excluding one source centered within 1" of the galaxy centroid that is actually the central part of the diffuse galactic emission, one source within the D<sub>25</sub> isophote of the neighboring galaxy NGC 1331, and one source with no photons within the 0.5-7.0 keV band which is likely to be spurious. The spatial extent of 72 of the 73 sources is consistent with the instrumental PSF. One source (number 14) is clearly more extended than the PSF. This table was created by the HEASARC in May 2018 based on <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/ApJ/612/848">CDS Catalog J/ApJ/612/848</a> file table1.dat, the list of detected X-ray sources in the Chandra observation of NGC 1332.

Spitzer Wide-area InfraRed Extragalactic Survey ELAIS-N2 MIPS24 Single-Band Catalog
The Spitzer Wide-area InfraRed Extragalactic survey (SWIRE), the largest Spitzer Legacy program, is a wide-area, imaging survey to trace the evolution of dusty, star-forming galaxies, evolved stellar populations, and AGN as a function of environment, from redshifts z~3 to the current epoch. SWIRE surveys 6 high-latitude fields, totaling ~50 sq. deg. in all 7 Spitzer bands: 3.6, 4.5, 5.8, and 8 microns with IRAC and 24, 70, and 160 microns with MIPS (Lonsdale et al. 2003). The SWIRE Legacy Extragalactic Source Catalogs will eventually contain in excess of 2 million IR-selected galaxies, from those dominated by the light of stellar populations detected primarily by IRAC, to starbursts, ultra-luminous infrared galaxies and AGN detected also by MIPS.The main SWIRE catalogs for 24 micron data are the Optical-IRAC-MIPS24 bandmerged catalogs. The bandmerged catalogs require a detection in the shortest IRAC band (3.6 microns). The SWIRE project has produced single-band 24 micron catalogs to cover regions that lie outside the IRAC images, and to include sources that for some reason were not associated with a 3.6 micron detection.
Eta Chamaeleontis eROSITA EDR Field X-Ray (0.2-2.3 keV) Source Catalog
This database table contains the "main" (0.2-2.3 keV) catalog of the X-ray sources in the eta Chamaeleontis field scan eROSITA observation (OBSID 300004; see Robrade et al., 2022). The nearby young open cluster eta Chamaeleontis was observed by eROSITA/SRG during its CalPV phase for 150 ks. The eROSITA data were taken in the field-scan mode, an observing mode of Spectrum-Roentgen-Gamma (SRG) that follows a rectangular grid-like pattern, covering a 5x5 deg field with an exposure depth of about 5 ks. The authors studied the known members in X-rays and searched for potential new members of the anticipated dispersed low-mass cluster population. Detected sources were identified by cross-matching X-ray sources with Gaia and 2MASS, and young stars were identified by their X-ray activity, by their position in the color-magnitude diagram, and by their astrometric and kinematic properties. X-ray luminosities, light curves, and spectra of cluster members were obtained and compared with previous X-ray data. Literature results of other member searches were used to verify the new member candidates in the observed field. The authors determined X-ray properties of virtually all known eta Cha members and identified five additional stellar systems that showed basically identical characteristics, but are more dispersed. Four of them were previously proposed as potential members; this status is supported by this X-ray study. Based on their spatial distribution, further members are expected beyond the sky region surveyed. The identified stellar systems very likely belong to the ejected halo population, which brings the total number of eta Cha cluster members to at least 23. <a href="/W3Browse/erosita/etachahard.html">ETACHAHARD</a> is the related catalog of hard band (2.3-5.0 keV) sources. This database table was ingested by the HEASARC in August 2022 and is based upon a file downloaded from the eROSITA-DE Early Data Release <a href="https://erosita.mpe.mpg.de/edr/eROSITAObservations/Catalogues/">catalogs web page</a>. In some cases, the HEASARC has altered the original field names, as per HEASARC conventions, and provides the original field names in square brackets. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .
VLA Goulds Belt Survey Perseus Region Source Catalog
This table contains a source catalog from multi-epoch, large-scale (~2,000 arcmin<sup>2</sup>), fairly deep (~16 microJansky or uJy), high-resolution (~1") radio observations of the Perseus star-forming complex that were obtained with the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) at frequencies of 4.5 and 7.5 GHz. These observations were mainly focused on the clouds NGC 1333 and IC 348, although the authors also observed several fields in other parts of the Perseus complex. They detect a total of 206 sources, 42 of which are associated with young stellar objects (YSOs). The radio properties of about 60% of the YSOs are compatible with a non-thermal radio emission origin. Based on their sample, the authors find a fairly clear relation between the prevalence of non-thermal radio emission and the evolutionary status of the YSOs. By comparing their results with previously reported X-ray observations, they show that YSOs in Perseus follow a Gudel-Benz relation with a value of the kappa parameter (L<sub>X</sub>/L<sub>rad</sub> = kappa x 10<sup>(15.5 +/- 1)</sup> [Hz]) of 0.03, consistent with other regions of star formation. The authors argue that most of the sources detected in their observations that are not associated with known YSOs are extragalactic, but provide a list in the reference paper Of 20 unidentified radio sources whose radio properties are consistent with them being YSO candidates. Finally, they also detect five sources with extended emission features that can clearly be associated with radio galaxies. The observations were collected with the VLA of the National Radio Astronomy Observatory in B and BnA configurations. Two frequency sub-bands, each 1 GHz wide and centered at 4.5 and 7.5 GHz, respectively, were recorded simultaneously. The observations were obtained in three observing sessions, on 2011 March 06/13, April 14/25, and May 01/02/10/19/22, typically separated from one another by a month. This dual-frequency, multi-epoch strategy was chosen to enable the characterization of the spectral index and variability of the detected sources, as well as to help with the identification of the emission mechanisms. The locations of the VLA observations are shown in Figure 1 of the reference paper. Other details of the observations are given in Table 1 of the reference paper. The approximate positions of the two main fields observed are: <pre> RA (ICRS) DE Designation(s) </pre> 03 28 55 +31 22.2 Ced 16 = NGC 1333 03 44 34 +32 09.8 NAME omi Per Cloud = IC 348 <pre> This HEASARC table contains the contents of Table 2 (74 radio sources detected in NGC 1333), Table 3 (91 radio sources detected in IC 348) and Table 4 (41 radio sources detected in single fields in Perseus) from the reference paper, totaling 206 radio sources.

Taurus Catalog
The Spitzer Space Telescope Survey of the Taurus is a Legacy III project titled, Taurus 2: Finishing the Spitzer Map of the Taurus Molecular Clouds (Taurus). The Taurus Spitzer Legacy project has mapped ≈44 square degrees of the Taurus star-formation region using the IRAC and MIPS cameras aboard the Spitzer Space Telescope. In this release, the team provides a bandmerged catalog of 269,358 point sources for the initial 70% of the survey area ("Taurus 1"). Flux densities are reported for the 3.6, 4.5, 5.8, 8.0, and 24 micron bands of IRAC and MIPS. MIPS 70 micron flux densities are also given for a small number of sources. Aperture photometry at three radii is provided for IRAC sources. PSF-fitting photometry is reported for MIPS flux densities.
CfA Redshift Catalog (June 1995 Version)
The ZCAT database contains the CfA Redshift Catalog, which incorporates much of the latest velocity data from the Whipple Observatory and other sources, as well as velocities from earlier compilations such as the "Second Reference Catalog" of de Vaucouleurs, de Vaucouleurs, and Corwin; the "Index of Galaxy Spectra" of Gisler and Friel; and the "Catalog of Radial Velocities of Galaxies" of Palumbo, Tanzella-Nitti, and Vettolani. It includes BT magnitudes, some UGC numbers, and increased "accuracy" in the velocity source information. The data presented here have primarily been assembled for the purpose of studying the large scale structure of the universe, and, as such, are nearly complete in redshift information, but are not necessarily complete in such categories as diameter, magnitude, and cross-references to other catalogues. The original HEASARC version was constructed based on an earlier version of the catalog and was released on November 15, 1996. The HEASARC created the current version of ZCAT in February 2001 based on CDS/ADC Catalog VII/193, "The CfA Redshift Catalogue", Version June 1995, tables <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/VII/193/zcat.dat">https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/VII/193/zcat.dat</a> and zbig.dat. The former table contains the main body of the CFA Redshift Catalog (57536 objects) and entries from it are distinguishable in the current database by having either listed radial velocity values but not redshifts or neither, while the latter table contains 1202 high-redshift galaxies (distinguishable in the current database by their having listed redshift values but not radial velocities).

HerMES 250 micron StarFinder Catalog
The Herschel Multi-tiered Extragalactic Survey (HerMES) is a legacy programme (KPGT_soliver1) designed to map a set of nested fields totalling 380 sq. deg. Fields range in size from 0.01 to 20 sq. deg., using SPIRE at 250, 350 and 500 microns. These bands cover the peak of the redshifted thermal spectral energy distribution from interstellar dust and thus capture the reprocessed optical and ultraviolet radiation from star formation that has been absorbed by dust, and are critical for forming a complete multiwavelength understanding of galaxy formation and evolution.
ROSAT PSPC Catalog of Canis Major R1 X-Ray Sources
The CMa R1 star-forming region contains several compact clusters as well as many young early-B stars. It is associated with a well-known bright rimmed nebula, the nature of which is unclear (fossil HII region or supernova remnant). To help elucidate the nature of the nebula, the authors' goal was to reconstruct the star-formation history of the CMa R1 region, including the previously unknown older, fainter low-mass stellar population, using X-rays. The authors analyzed images obtained with the ROSAT satellite, covering ~5 square degrees. Complementary VRI photometry was performed with the Gemini South telescope. Color-magnitude and color-color diagrams were used in conjunction with pre-main sequence evolutionary tracks to derive the masses and ages of the X-ray sources. The ROSAT images show two distinct clusters. One is associated with the known optical clusters near Z CMa, to which ~ 40 members are added. The other, which the authors name the "GU CMa" cluster, is new, and contains ~ 60 members. The ROSAT sources are young stars with masses down to M_star ~ 0.5 M_sun, and ages up to 10 Myr. The mass functions of the two clusters are similar, but the GU CMa cluster is older than the cluster around Z CMa by at least a few Myr. Also, the GU CMa cluster is away from any molecular cloud, implying that star formation must have ceased; on the contrary (as already known), star formation is very active in the Z CMa region. The two ROSAT observations that the authors analyzed are the following. By order of increasing RA, the first Field ('Field 1' hereafter), HEASARC ID RP201011 pointing axis RA(J2000} = 7<sup>h</sup> 00<sup>m</sup>, Dec(J2000) = -11<sup>o</sup> 30', has an exposure of 19.7 ks. 'Field 2', HEASARC ID RP201277, pointing axis RA(J2000) = 7<sup>h</sup> 04<sup>m</sup>, Dec(J2000) = -11<sup>o</sup> 33', has a much shorter exposure of 4.6 ks. This table contains the complete list of sources detected in CMa R1 by ROSAT. This online catalog was created by the HEASARC in April 2010 based on machine-readable tables obtained from the CDS (their catalog J/A+A/506/711, file tablea1.dat).

Fornax Dwarf Galaxy XMM-Newton X-Ray Point Source Catalog
This table contains some of the results of a deep archive XMM-Newton observation of the Fornax spheroidal galaxy that the authors analyzed with the aim of fully characterizing the X-ray source population (in most of the cases likely to be background active galactic nuclei) detected towards the target. A cross-correlation with the available databases allowed them to find a source that may be associated with a variable star belonging to the galaxy. The authors also searched for X-ray sources in the vicinity of the Fornax globular clusters GC 3 and GC 4 and found two sources probably associated with the respective clusters. The deep X-ray observation was also suitable for the search for the intermediate-mass black hole (of mass ~ 10<sup>4</sup> solar masses) expected to be hosted in the center of the galaxy. In the case of Fornax, this search is extremely difficult since the galaxy centroid of gravity is poorly constrained because of the large asymmetry observed in the optical surface brightness. Since the authors cannot firmly establish the existence of an X-ray counterpart of the putative black hole, they put constraints only on the accretion parameters. In particular, they found that the corresponding upper limit on the accretion efficiency, with respect to the Eddington luminosity, is as low as a few 10<sup>-5</sup>. This table was created by the HEASARC in February 2013 based on an electronic version of Table 1 from the reference paper which was obtained from the A&A web site.

VLA Low-Frequency Sky Survey Redux Source Catalog
The Very Large Array (VLA) Low-Frequency Sky Survey (VLSS: see Cohen et al. 2007, AJ, 134, 1245) covers 95% of the 3 pi sr of sky area above -30 degrees Declination at most RAs (complete above -10 degrees Declination, while in some areas data are available down to Declinations of -36 degrees) at a frequency of 74 MHz, a resolution of 80", and an average rms map sensitivity of sigma ~ 0.130 Jy/beam. The survey was intended to serve as a low-frequency counterpart to the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO)-VLA Sky Survey (NVSS) at 1400 MHz, allowing spectral information to be compiled for statistical samples of sources. It also provides a low-frequency sky model. In their 2012 and 2014 reference papers, the authors present the details of improvements to data processing and analysis which were used for a re-reduction of the VLSS data, which they dub the VLSS redux or VLSSr. They used the VLSS catalogue as a sky model to correct the ionospheric distortions in the data and create a new set of sky maps and corresponding catalog at 73.8 MHz. The VLSS Redux (VLSSr) has a resolution of 75", and an average map rms noise level of sigma ~ 0.1 Jy beam<sup>-1</sup>. The clean bias is 0.66 x sigma and the theoretical largest angular size is 36 arcminutes. Six previously unimaged fields are included in the VLSSr, which has an unbroken sky coverage over 9.3 steradian above an irregular southern boundary. The final catalog includes 92,965 sources (in the abstract of Lane et al. (2014) it states 92.964 sources). The VLSSr improves upon the original VLSS in a number of areas including imaging of large sources, image sensitivity, and clean bias; however the most critical improvement is the replacement of an inaccurate primary beam correction which caused source flux errors which vary as a function of radius to the nearest pointing center in the VLSS. This table was initially created by the HEASARC in December 2012, based on the FITS file CATALOG.FIT obtained from the NRAO website at <a href="http://www.cv.nrao.edu/vlss/CATALOG/">http://www.cv.nrao.edu/vlss/CATALOG/</a>. It was updated in July 2014 with the the table data from the latest file on the NRAO website (which was marked as last modified on 26 August 2013). 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 .
