S-PASS (S-Band Polarization All-Sky Survey) 2.3-GHz Source Catalog
The S-band Polarization All-Sky Survey (S-PASS) has observed the entire southern sky using the 64-meter Parkes radio telescope at 2.3 GHz with an effective bandwidth of 184 MHz. The surveyed sky area covers all Declinations < 0 degrees. To analyze compact sources the survey data have been re-processed to produce a set of 107 Stokes I maps with 10.75-arcminute resolution and the large scale emission contribution filtered out. In this paper, the authors use these Stokes I images to create a total intensity southern-sky extragalactic source catalog at 2.3 GHz. The source catalog contains 23,389 sources and covers a sky area of 16,600 deg<sup>2</sup>, excluding the Galactic plane for latitudes |b| < 10 degrees. Approximately 8% of the catalogued sources are resolved. S-PASS source positions are typically accurate to within 35 arcseconds. At a flux density of 225 mJy, the S-PASS source catalog is more than 95% complete, and ~94% of S-PASS sources brighter than 500 mJy/beam have a counterpart at lower frequencies. The observations were carried out over the period from October 2007 to January 2010 using the Parkes S-band receiver. The S-band receiver is a package with: a system temperature T<sub>sys</sub> = 20K, a beam Full Width at Half Maximum (FWHM) of 8.9 arcminutes, and a circular polarization front-end that is ideal for linear polarization observations with single-dish telescopes.

Spitzer Extragalactic Representative Volume Survey XMM-LSS 2-band Catalog
The "Spitzer Extragalactic Representative Volume Survey" (SERVS) Exploration Science program conducted deep IRAC 3.6 and 4.5 micron observations of five extragalactic fields (ELAIS-N1, Lockman Hole, XMM, ELAIS-S1, and CDFS).Objects in the single band catalogs are not required to have any counterparts in the other band. They are cut at CSNR > 5 and also have the low coverage areas at the edges of the survey omitted (POLY=1), resulting in a single-band reliability flag REL=1. They are thus deeper than the 2-band high reliability catalogs. These should be used if you are matching with a reliable catalog from another band (e.g. near-infrared), and simply want as many matches as possible, or are doing a statistical study.
Planck Catalog of Compact Sources 44GHz Catalog
The Planck Catalogue of Compact Sources (PCCS) is a sample of reliable sources, both Galactic and extragalactic, extracted directly from the Planck nominal maps. The first public version of the PCCS, a component of Planck Data Release 1, is derived from the data acquired by Planck between August 13 2009 and November 26 2010. The PCCS consists of nine lists of sources, extracted independently from each of Planck's nine frequency channels. The source lists contain 24 columns per source at the LFI and HFI bands. The 857 GHz source list has six additional columns which give the flux densities and flux density uncertainties at the three adjacent lower frequencies: 217, 353, and 545 GHz.
Chandra Archive Of Galaxies Ultraluminous X-Ray Source Catalog
One hundred fifty-five (the abstract in the paper erroneously states the number to be 154) discrete, non-nuclear, ultraluminous X-ray (ULX) sources, with spectroscopically determined intrinsic X-ray luminosities greater than 10<sup>39</sup> erg/s, have been identified in 82 galaxies that were observed with Chandra's Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer (ACIS). Positions, X-ray luminosities, and spectral and timing characteristics of these ULXs are contained in this table. Eighty-three percent of ULX candidates have spectra that can be described as absorbed power laws with mean index Gamma = 1.74 and column density N<sub>H</sub> = 2.24 x 10<sup>21</sup> atoms cm<sup>-2</sup>, or ~5 times the average Galactic column. About 20% of the ULXs have much steeper indices indicative of a soft, and likely thermal, spectrum. The locations of ULXs in their host galaxies are strongly peaked toward their galaxy centers. The deprojected radial distribution of the ULX candidates is somewhat steeper than an exponential disk, indistinguishable from that of the weaker sources. About 5%-15% of ULX candidates are variable during the Chandra observations (which average 39.5 ks). Comparison of the cumulative X-ray luminosity functions of the ULXs to Chandra Deep Field results suggests ~25% of the sources may be background objects, including 14% of the ULX candidates in the sample of spiral galaxies and 44% of those in elliptical galaxies, implying the elliptical galaxy ULX population is severely compromised by background active galactic nuclei. Correlations with host galaxy properties confirm the number and total X-ray luminosity of the ULXs are associated with recent star formation and with galaxy merging and interactions. The preponderance of ULXs in star-forming galaxies as well as their similarities to less-luminous sources suggest they originate in a young but short-lived population such as the high-mass X-ray binaries, with a smaller contribution (based on spectral slope) from recent supernovae. The number of ULXs in elliptical galaxies scales with host galaxy mass and can be explained most simply as the high-luminosity end of the low-mass X-ray binary population. This table was created by the HEASARC in March 2007 based on <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/ApJS/154/519">CDS catalog J/ApJS/154/519</a> file table2.dat.

Selected Area 57 XMM-Newton X-Ray Source Catalog
The maximum number density of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs), as deduced from X-ray studies, occurs at z >= 1, with lower luminosity objects peaking at smaller redshifts. Optical studies lead to a different evolutionary behaviour, with a number density peaking at z ~ 2 independently of the intrinsic luminosity, but this result is limited to active nuclei brighter than the host galaxy. A selection based on optical variability can detect low luminosity AGNs (LLAGNs), where the host galaxy light prevents the identification by non-stellar colours. The authors collected X-ray data in a field where there existed an optically-selected sample of "variable galaxies", i.e. variable objects with diffuse appearance, in order to investigate the X-ray and optical properties of the population of AGNs, particularly of low luminosity ones, where the host galaxy is visible. They observed a field of ~ 0.2 deg<sup>2</sup> in the Selected Area 57, for 67 ks with XMM-Newton. They correlated the list of detected X-ray sources with a photographic survey of SA 57, complete to B_J ~ 23 and with the available spectroscopic data. They obtained a catalog of 140 X-ray sources to limiting fluxes of 5 x 10<sup>-16</sup> and 2 x 10<sup>-15</sup> erg/cm<sup>2</sup>/s in the 0.5 - 2 keV and 2 - 10 keV bands, respectively, 98 of which are identified in the optical bands. The X-ray detection of part of the variability-selected candidates confirms their AGN nature. Diffuse variable objects populate the low luminosity side of the sample. Only 25/44 optically-selected QSOs are detected in X-rays. 15% of all QSOs in the field have X/O < 0.1. Additional information on the likely optical counterparts of 98 of the X-ray sources is available in the reference paper, e.g., in Table 3.

Chandra ACIS GSG Point-Like X-Ray Source Catalog
The Chandra archival data are a valuable resource for various studies on different X-ray astronomy topics. In this paper, the authors utilize this wealth of information and present a uniformly processed data set, which can be used to address a wide range of scientific questions. The data analysis procedures are applied to 10,029 Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer observations, which produces 363,530 source detections belonging to 217,828 distinct X-ray sources. This number is twice the size of the Chandra Source Catalog (Version 1.1). The catalogs in this paper provide abundant estimates of the detected X-ray source properties, including source positions, counts, colors, fluxes, luminosities, variability statistics, etc. Cross-correlation of these objects with galaxies shows that 17,828 sources are located within the D<sub>25</sub> isophotes of 1,110 galaxies, and 7,504 sources are located between the D<sub>25</sub> and 2*D<sub>25</sub> isophotes of 910 galaxies. Contamination analysis with the log N-log S relation indicates that 51.3% of objects within 2*D<sub>25</sub> isophotes are truly relevant to galaxies, and the "net" source fraction increases to 58.9%, 67.3%, and 69.1% for sources with luminosities above 10<sup>37</sup>, 10<sup>38</sup>, and 10<sup>39</sup> erg/s, respectively. Among the possible scientific uses of this catalog mentioned in this paper, the authors discuss the possibility of studying intra-observation variability, inter-observation variability, and supersoft sources (SSSs). About 17,092 detected sources above 10 counts are classified as variable in individual observation with the Kolmogorov-Smirnov (K-S) criterion (P<sub>K-S</sub> < 0.01). There are 99,647 sources observed more than once and 11,843 sources observed 10 times or more, offering a wealth of data with which to explore their long-term variability. There are 1,638 individual objects (~2,350 detections) classified as SSSs. As a quite interesting subclass, detailed studies on X-ray spectra and optical spectroscopic follow-up are needed to categorize these SSSs and pinpoint their properties. In addition, this survey can enable a wide range of statistical studies, such as X-ray activity in different types of stars, X-ray luminosity functions in different types of galaxies, and multi-wavelength identification and classification of different X-ray populations. The ACIS observations were downloaded from the Chandra Data Archive on 2014 December 4, yielding 10,047 ACIS observations. Eighteen observations with PI as "Calibration" or Exposure as zero were excluded. Finally, there are 10,029 ACIS observations containing 4,146 ACIS-I observations and 5,883 ACIS-S observations in our sample. The exposure times for the selected observations cover a range from 50 s to 190 ks, with a total of 221,851 ks. This HEASARC table comprises the list of 218,789 X-ray point sources detected in the Chandra ACIS Survey and listed in the machine-readable version of Table 5 from the reference paper. This number is somewhat larger than the number of independent sources (217,828) stated in the abstract and Section 5 of the reference paper because if a source lies within 2*R<sub>25</sub> of more than one galaxy it is listed multiple times, once for each galaxy with which it may be associated. All parameters are the same for such duplicate cases except for the entry_number, alt_name, adopted_distance, luminosity, src_nucleus_offset, norm_src_nucleus_offset and (in some cases) source_type. This table was created by the HEASARC in March 2017 primarily based on <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/ApJS/224/40/">CDS Catalog J/ApJS/224/40/</a> file table5.dat, the catalog of X-ray point sources in the Chandra ACIS Survey. The positional information for these sources was taken from <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/ApJS/224/40/">CDS Catalog J/ApJS/224/40/</a> file table3.dat, the list of separation detections for these X-ray sources, using the first listed detection in each case.

XMM-Newton Survey Catalog in the Herschel-ATLAS Field
Wide area X-ray and far-infrared surveys are a fundamental tool to investigate the link between AGN growth and star formation, especially in the low-redshift universe (z < 1). The Herschel-Astrophysical Terahertz Large Area Survey (H-ATLAS) has covered 550 deg<sup>2</sup> in five far-infrared and sub-mm bands, 16 deg<sup>2</sup> of which have been presented in the Science Demonstration Phase (SDP) catalogue. The reference paper cited below introduces the XMM-Newton observations in the H-ATLAS SDP area, covering 7.1 deg<sup>2</sup> with flux limits of 2 x 10<sup>-15</sup>, 6 x 10<sup>-15</sup>, and 9 x 10<sup>-15</sup> erg/s/cm<sup>2</sup> in the 0.5-2, 0.5-8 and 2-8keV bands, respectively. The paper presents the source detection techniques and the "main" catalog, which includes 1700, 1582 and 814 sources detected by EMLDetect in the 0.5-8, 0.5-2 and 2-8keV bands, respectively; the number of unique sources is 1816. The authors extract spectra and derive fluxes from power-law fits for 398 sources with more than 40 counts in the 0.5-8 keV band. They compare the best-fit fluxes with those in the catalog, which were obtained assuming a common photon index Gamma of 1.7; the authors find no bulk difference between the fluxes, and a moderate dispersion s of 0.33 dex. Using wherever possible the fluxes from the spectral fits, the authors derive the 2-10 keV Log N-Log S distribution, which is consistent with a Euclidean distribution. Finally, they release the computer code for the tools which they developed for this project. Sources were detected with a two-stage process. With the first pass at low significance, the authors got a list of candidate detections; and on the second pass they raised the significance threshold and derived accurate source parameters. Between the two passes, and because the second pass needs an input catalog, they identified the sources detected in more than one band. In the first pass, the SAS wavelet detection program ewavelet was run separately on each of the 0.5-2, 2-8 and 0.5-8 keV images of the entire mosaic, with a significance threshold of 4 sigma and the default wavelet scales (minimum 2 pixels, maximum 8 pixels, with a pixel size of 4). All parameters in this catalog which were derived from ewavelet have been given a prefix of 'wav' in this HEASARC representation so as to distinguish them from the parameters derived using EMLDetect. In the second pass, the authors used the SAS EMLDetect program to validate the detections, refine the coordinates and obtain maximum-likelihood estimates of the source counts, count rates and fluxes. The EMLDetect minimum likelihood was set at L = 4.6, as in Ranalli et al. (2013, A&A, 555, A42), which corresponds to a false-detection probability of 1.01 x 10<sup>-2</sup>. Together with the 4-sigma threshold for ewavelet, for the final catalog this yields a joint significance between 4 sigma and 5 sigma, but which cannot be further constrained without simulations. This table contains the X-ray sources which were detected in the 7.1 deg<sup>2</sup> XMM-Newton observations of the H-ATLAS field. The 1816 sources which were detected by both programs were presented in the main table in the reference paper (and are included in this HEASARC table where they are indicated by a value of the source_sample parameter of 'main'), while the 234 sources which were only detected by ewavelet were presented in the supplementary table in the reference paper (and are included in this HEASARC table where they are indicated by a value of the source_sample parameter of 'supp'). The same parameters were present in both the main and supplementary tables in the reference paper, but those parameters which came from EMLDetect are empty for the sources in the supplementary table. The parameters obtained using ewavelet (those parameters with the 'wav' prefix in their names) containing the source properties (counts, count rates, fluxes, exposure times, background, wavelet detection scale and source extent), while reported in this table for all sources, are actually only interesting for supplementary sources, according to the authors. This table was created by the HEASARC in May 2015 based on the union of <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/A+A/577/A121">CDS Catalog J/A+A/577/A121</a> files main.dat (which contain 1816 sources detected by both detection algorithms) and suppl.dat (which contains 234 'supplementary' sources detected only by the wavelet detection algorithm ewavelet). It thus contains a total of 2050 sources. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .
NGC 253 XMM-Newton X-Ray Point Source Catalog
This table contains the NGC 253 XMM-Newton X-Ray Point Source Catalog. NGC 253 is a local, starbursting spiral galaxy with strong X-ray emission from hot gas, as well as many point sources. The authors have conducted a spectral survey of the X-ray population of NGC 253 using a deep XMM-Newton observation. NGC 253 only accounts for ~20 per cent of the XMM-Newton EPIC field of view, allowing them to identify ~ 100 X-ray sources that are unlikely to be associated with NGC 253. Hence, they were able to make a direct estimate of contamination from, for example, foreground stars and background galaxies. X-ray luminosity functions (XLFs) of galaxy populations are often used to characterize their properties. There are several methods for estimating the luminosities of X-ray sources with few photons. The authors have obtained spectral fits for the brightest 140 sources in the 2003 XMM-Newton observation of NGC 253, and compare the best-fitting luminosities of those 69 non-nuclear sources associated with NGC 253 with luminosities derived using other methods. They find the luminosities obtained from these various methods to vary systematically by a factor of up to 3 for the same data; this is largely due to differences in absorption. The authors therefore conclude that assuming Galactic absorption is probably unwise; rather, one should measure the absorption for the population. In addition, they find that standard estimations of the background contribution to the X-ray sources in the field are insufficient, and that the background active galactic nuclei (AGN) may be systematically more luminous than previously expected. However, the excess in their measured AGN XLF with respect to the expected XLF may be due to an as yet unrecognized population associated with NGC253. XMM-Newton observations are susceptible to periods of high background levels, caused by increased flux of solar particles. The authors screened the data from each of the EPIC cameras (MOS1, MOS2 and pn), to remove flaring intervals. This process resulted in ~ 46 ks of good time for the pn and ~ 69 ks for the MOS cameras. The authors combined the cleaned MOS and pn data, and ran the source detection algorithm provided with the XMM-Newton data analysis suite SAS version 7.0. They accepted sources with maximum-likelihood detections > 10 (equivalent to 4 sigma). This table was created by the HEASARC in April 2009 based on the electronic version of Tables A1 and A2 from the paper which were obtained from the CDS (their catalog J/MNRAS/388/849 files tablea1.dat and tablea2.dat).

47 Tuc Globular Cluster Chandra X-Ray Point Source Catalog (2017 Version)
The authors combined Chandra ACIS observations of the globular cluster 47 Tucanae (47 Tuc) from 2000, 2002, and 2014-2015 to create a deeper X-ray source list and study some of the faint radio millisecond pulsars (MSPs) present in this cluster. This work combined 180 ks of new Chandra ACIS data on 47 Tuc with 370 ks of archival data and used improved algorithms to generate a new source catalog, finding 81 new sources for a total of 370 within the half-mass region (2.79 arcsec) of the cluster. The majority of the newly identified sources are in the crowded core region, indicating cluster membership. The authors associated five of the new X-ray sources with chromospherically active BY Dra or W UMa variables identified by Albrow et al. (2001, <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/ApJ/559/1060">CDS Cat. <J/ApJ/559/1060></a>). See also the related <a href="gc47tuccxo.html">2005 source catalog</a>.

SpIES 4.5 micron-only Catalog
The Spitzer IRAC Equatorial Survey (SpIES) is a large-area survey of 115 sq. degrees in the Equatorial SDSS Stripe 82 field. SpIES achieves 5 sigma depths of 6.13 microJy (21.93 AB magnitude) and 5.75 microJy (22.0 AB magnitude) at 3.6 and 4.5 microns, respectively.The 3.6 micron catalog contains the 6.1 million sources that are only detected at 3.6 microns, the 4.5 micron catalog contains the 6.4 million sources that are only detected at 4.5 microns, and the Dual-band catalog contains the 5.4 million sources that are detected in both bands.
XTE Target Index Catalog
The Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) Index table was created for the purpose of providing a concise and easily accessible tracking of RXTE observations, both those already completed and those still scheduled to be done. Each entry in this table corresponds to a specific proposal/target combination or `complete observation', in contrast to the RXTE Master table in which each entry corresponds to a specific proposal/target/ObsID combination or `observing segment'. A complete observation can consist of many (in some cases dozens) observing segments. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .
Second Byurakan Survey General Catalog Galaxies Optical Database
The Second Byurakan Survey (SBS) is a continuation of the First Byurakan Survey (FBS), also known as the Markarian Survey. The goal of the SBS was to reach fainter objects (as faint as limiting photographic magnitudes of 19.5, about 2.5 magnitudes fainter than the Markarian survey) and discover new active and star-forming galaxies using both UV excess and emission-line techniques. In this table, a database for the entire catalog of the Second Byurakan Survey (SBS) galaxies is presented, i.e, the 1700 SBS stars listed in Stepanian (2005) are not included herein. It contains new measurements of their optical parameters and additional information taken from the literature and other databases. The measurements were made using I<sub>pg</sub> (near-infrared), F<sub>pg</sub> (red) and J<sub>pg</sub> (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 circles of radii 50 kpc around the sources. The total number of individual SBS objects in the database is now 1676. The 188 Markarian galaxies which were re-discovered by the SBS are not included in this database. the authors also include redshifts that are now available for 1576 SBS objects, as well as 2MASS infrared magnitudes for 1117 SBS galaxies. The new optical information on the SBS galaxies was obtained from images extracted from the STScI Digitized Sky Survey (DSS) of F_pg (red), J_pg (blue) and I_pg (near-infared) band photographic sky survey plates obtained by the Palomar telescope.

South Pole Telescope 87-Square Degree Survey Millimeter Source Catalog
This table contains the results of an 87 deg<sup>2</sup> point-source survey centered at RA = 5<sup>h</sup>30<sup>m</sup>, Dec = -55<sup>o</sup> (J2000.0) taken with the South Pole Telescope at 1.4 and 2.0 mm wavelengths with arcminute resolution and milli-Jansky (mJy) depth. Based on the ratio of flux in the two bands, the authors separate the detected sources into two populations, one consistent with synchrotron emission from active galactic nuclei (AGN) and the other consistent with thermal emission from dust. In the reference paper, the authors present source counts for each population from 11 to 640 mJy at 1.4 mm and from 4.4 to 800 mJy at 2.0 mm. The 2.0-mm counts are dominated by synchrotron-dominated sources across the reported flux range; the 1.4-mm counts are dominated by synchrotron-dominated sources above ~15 mJy and by dust-dominated sources below that flux level. The authors detect 141 synchrotron-dominated sources and 47 dust-dominated sources at signal-to-noise ratio S/N > 4.5 in at least one band. All of the most significantly detected members of the synchrotron-dominated population are associated with sources in previously published radio catalogs. Some of the dust-dominated sources are associated with nearby (z << 1) galaxies whose dust emission is also detected by the Infrared Astronomy Satellite (IRAS). However, most of the bright, dust-dominated sources have no counterparts in any existing catalogs. The authors argue that these sources represent the rarest and brightest members of the population commonly referred to as sub-millimeter galaxies (SMGs). During the 2008 observing season, the 960-element South Pole Telescope (SPT) camera included detectors sensitive to radiation within bands centered at approximately 1.4 mm, 2.0 mm, and 3.2 mm (220 GHz, 150 GHz, and 95 GHz). Result in this reference paper are based on 607 hr of observing time, using only the 1.4-mm and 2.0-mm data from the 87 deg<sup>2</sup> portion of the field that was mapped with near-uniform coverage. Main-lobe beams were measured using the brightest sources in the field and were adequately fit by two-dimensional Gaussians with FWHM equal to 1.05 and 1.15 arcminutes at 1.4 mm and 2.0 mm, respectively. The typical rms of the filtered 2.0-mm and 1.4-mm maps used for source candidate identification (shown in Figures 1 and 2, respectively, of the reference paper) is 1.3 mJy at 2.0 mm and 3.4 mJy at 1.4 mm. Detections in both bands are listed in the final catalog as a single source if they are offset <30 arcseconds between the two bands. For sources detected in both bands, the authors adopt the position of the more significant detection. The argue that they are far enough above the confusion limit that this simple and intuitive method is adequate. For sources detected in only one band, the authors use the flux in the cleaned map for the second band at the position of the detection. This table lists all 3,496 sources above 3 sigma in either map. This table was created by the HEASARC in October 2017 based on an electronic version of Table 5 from the reference paper which was obtained from the CDS as their catalog J/ApJ/719/763 file table5.dat.

Phoenix Deep Survey Optical and Near-Infrared Counterparts Catalog
Using a deep Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) radio survey covering an area of ~3 deg<sup>2</sup> to a 4-sigma sensitivity of >= 100 µJy (µJy) at 1.4 GHz, the authors study the nature of faint radio galaxies. The region, 2 degrees in diameter and centered on RA and Dec (J2000.0) of 1<sup>h</sup> 14<sup>m</sup> 12.16<sup>s</sup>, -45<sup>o</sup> 44' 08.0" (Galactic latitude of -71<sup>o</sup>), is known as the Phoenix Deep Field. About 50% of the detected radio sources are identified with an optical counterpart revealed by CCD photometry to m<sub>R</sub> = 22.5 magnitudes. Near-infrared (K-band) data are also available for a selected sample of the radio sources, while spectroscopic observations have been carried out for about 40% of the optically identified sample. These provide redshifts and information on the stellar content. Emission-line ratios imply that most of the emission-line sources are star-forming galaxies, with a small contribution (~ 10%) from Seyfert 1/Seyfert 2 type objects. The authors also find a significant number of absorption-line systems, likely to be ellipticals. These dominate at high flux densities ( > 1 mJy) but are also found at sub-mJy levels. Using the Balmer decrement, they find a visual extinction A<sub>V</sub> = 1.0 for the star-forming faint radio sources. This moderate reddening is consistent with the (V - R) and (R - K) colors of the optically identified sources. For emission-line galaxies, there is a correlation between the radio power and the H-alpha luminosity, in agreement with the result of Benn et al. (1993, MNRAS, 263, 98). This suggests that the radio emission of starburst radio galaxies is a good indicator of star formation activity. When calculating luminosities, the authors assume a cosmology with a Hubble constant H<sub>0</sub> of 50 km s<sup>-1</sup> Mpc<sup>-1</sup> and a deceleration parameter q<sub>0</sub> of 0.5. This table was created by the HEASARC in June 2013 based on an electronic version of Table 1 from the reference paper, which details the photometric (optical and near-infrared), radio, spectroscopic and intrinsic properties of the faint radio sources in the PDS with established redshifts, which was obtained from the CDS web site (their catalog J/MNRAS/306/708 file table1.dat).

VLA-COSMOS 3-GHz Large Project Multiwavelength Counterparts Catalog
In the reference paper, the authors study the composition of the faint radio population selected from the VLA-COSMOS 3-GHz Large Project, a radio continuum survey performed at 10-cm wavelength. The survey covers a 2.6 square degree area with a mean rms of ~2.3 µJy/beam (µJy/beam), cataloguing 10,830 sources above 5 sigma, and enclosing the full 2 square degree COSMOS field. By combining these radio data with optical, near-infrared (UltraVISTA), and mid-infrared (Spitzer/IRAC) data, as well as X-ray data (Chandra), the authors find counterparts to radio sources for ~93% of the total radio sample in the unmasked areas of the COSMOS field, i.e., those not affected by saturated or bright sources in the optical to near-IR (NIR) bands, reaching out to z ~ 6. They further classify the sources as star-forming galaxies or AGN based on various criteria, such as X-ray luminosity, observed mid-infrare (MIR) color, UV-far-infrared (FIR) spectral-energy distribution (SED), rest-frame near-ultraviolet (NUV)-optical color corrected for dust extinction, and radio-excess relative to that expected from the the hosts' star-formation rate. The authors separate the AGN into sub-samples dominated by low-to-moderate and moderate-to-high radiative luminosity AGN, i.e., candidates for high-redshift analogs to local low- and high-excitation emission line AGN, respectively. They study the fractional contributions of these sub-populations down to radio flux levels of ~11 uJy at 3 GHz (or ~20 uJy at 1.4 GHz assuming a spectral index of -0.7), and find that the dominant fraction at 1.4 GHz flux densities above ~200 uJy is constituted of low-to-moderate radiative luminosity AGN MLAGN). Below densities of ~100 uJy the fraction of star-forming galaxies (SFG) increases to ~60%, followed by the moderate-to-high radiative luminosity AGN (HLAGN) with ~20%, and MLAGN with ~20%. Based on this observational evidence, the authors extrapolate the fractions down to sensitivities of the Square Kilometer Array (SKA). Their estimates suggest that at the faint flux limits to be reached by the (Wide, Deep, and UltraDeep) SKA1 surveys, a selection based only on radio flux limits can provide a simple tool to efficiently identify samples highly (>75%) dominated by star-forming galaxies. This table contains the full list of 9,161 optical-MIR counterparts collected over the largest unmasked area accessible to each catalog, being 1.77, 1.73, and 2.35 square degrees for COSMOS2015, i-band, and IRAC catalogs, respectively. The catalog lists the counterpart IDs, properties, as well as the individual criteria used in this work to classify these radio sources. The authors note that complete, non-overlapping samples within a well defined, effective area of 1.77 square degrees (COSMOS2015 masked area flag_C15 = 0, can be formed by combining (i) HLAGN, MLAGN, and clean SFG samples, or, alternatively, (ii) the radio-excess and no-radio-excess samples.

AXIS XMM-Newton Source Catalog
Recent results have revised upwards the total X-ray background (XRB) intensity below ~10 keV, therefore an accurate determination of the source counts is needed. There are also contradictory results on the clustering of X-ray selected sources. The authors have studied the X-ray source counts in four energy bands: soft (0.5 - 2 keV), hard (2 - 10 keV), XID (0.5 - 4.5 keV) and ultra-hard (4.5 - 7.5 keV) in order to evaluate the contribution of sources at different fluxes to the X-ray background. They have also studied the angular clustering of X-ray sources in those bands. AXIS (An XMM International Survey) is a survey of 36 high Galactic latitude XMM observations covering 4.8 square degrees in the Northern sky and containing 1433 serendipitous X-ray sources detected with 5-sigma significance. This survey has similar depth to the XMM catalogs and therefore serves as a pathfinder to explore their possibilities. The authors in their paper combined this survey with shallower and deeper surveys, and fitted the source counts with a Maximum Likelihood technique. Using only AXIS sources they studied the angular correlation using a novel robust technique. The AXIS source counts results are compatible with most previous samples in the soft, XID, ultra-hard and hard bands. This study has improved on previous results in the hard band. The fractions of the XRB resolved in the surveys used in this work are 87%, 85%, 60% and 25% in the soft, hard, XID and ultra-hard bands, respectively. Extrapolation of the source counts to zero flux is not sufficient to saturate the XRB intensity. Only galaxies and/or absorbed AGN could contribute the remaining unresolved XRB intensity. These results are compatible, within the errors, with recent revisions of the XRB intensity in the soft and hard bands. The maximum fractional contribution to the XRB comes from fluxes within about a decade of the break in the source counts (~10<sup>-14</sup> cgs), reaching ~50% of the total in the soft and hard bands. Angular clustering (widely distributed over the sky and not confined to a few deep fields) is detected at 99-99.9% significance in the soft and XID bands, with no detection in the hard and ultra-hard band (probably due to the smaller number of sources). The authors cannot confirm the detection of significantly stronger clustering in the hard-spectrum hard sources. Medium-depth surveys such as AXIS are essential to determine the evolution of the X-ray emission in the Universe below 10 keV. Included here are the basic data for the 2560 X-ray sources in the reference paper which satified the selection criteria of having an emldetect detection likelihood >= 10 (the default value) in at least one band, namely: (i) XMM-Newton pn count-rates in four XMM-Newton Science Analysis System (SAS) bands (band 2: 0.5 - 2 keV, band 3: 2 - 4.5 keV, band 4: 4.5 - 7.5 keV, band 5: 7.5 - 12 keV); (ii) spectral photon indices in the 0.5 - 4.5 keV band, the 2 - 10 keV band and the 0.5 - 10 keV band; (iii) fluxes in the soft (0.5 - 2 keV), hard (2 - 10 keV), XID (0.5 - 4.5 keV), ultra-hard (4.5 - 7.5 keV) and "total" (0.5 - 10 keV) bands; and (iv) flags describing to which of the samples discussed in the paper (soft, hard, XID or ultra-hard) each source belongs. There is no spectral or flux information given for the sources not belonging to any of the samples, but the count-rates of such sources are given for completeness.

XRISM Master Catalog
The X-Ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission (XRISM) is an international mission led by Institute of Space and Astronautical Science (ISAS) of Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA). XRISM was launched on 2023 September 6 (UT) into a near-circular orbit with an apogee of ~575 km, an inclination of ~31 degrees, and an orbital period of about 96 minutes. During the performance verification (PV) phase, targets selected by the XRISM science team are being observed. Subsequently, it will become a general observatory with annual call for proposals open to all astronomers. XRISM has two co-aligned instruments that are used concurrently: Resolve, a soft X-ray spectrometer, and Xtend, a wide field-of-view imager. Resolve uses an X-ray microcalorimeter with ~5 eV spectral resolution withs a 3x3 arcmin field of view. It is currently operating with the Gate Valve closed, which limits its effective bandpass to 1.7-12 keV. Xtend is an X-ray CCD instrument with a 38 x 38 arcmin<sup>2</sup> field of view. This table contains a list of observations that have taken place as well as those that have been accepted and planned. The latter includes pre-approved targets for TOO observations and priority C targets whose observations are not guaranteed. This database table is based on information supplied by the XRISM Science Data Center at NASA/GSFC. It is updated automatically on a regular basis. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .
Chamaeleon I North Cloud Chandra X-Ray Point Source Catalog
This table contains the Chamaeleon (Cha) I North Cloud Chandra X-Ray point source catalog. Sensitive X-ray imaging surveys provide a new and effective tool to establish the census of pre-main-sequence (PMS) stars in nearby young stellar clusters. A deep Chandra X-Ray Observatory (CXO) observation of PMS stars in the Chamaeleon I North cloud achieved a limiting total-band X-ray luminosity of log L<sub>t</sub> ~ 10<sup>27</sup> ergs/s (0.5 - 8 keV band) in a 0.8 x 0.8 pc<sup>2</sup> region. Of the 107 X-ray sources, 37 are associated with Galactic stars, of which 27 are previously recognized cloud members. These include 3 PMS brown dwarfs: the protostellar brown dwarf ISO 192 has a particularly high level of magnetic activity. Follow-up optical photometry and spectroscopy establish that 9-10 of the Chandra sources are probably magnetically active background stars. No new X-ray-discovered stars were confidently found despite the high sensitivity of the Chandra observation. From these findings, the authors argue that the sample of 27 PMS cloud members in the Chandra field is uncontaminated and complete down to K = 12 or a stellar mass of about 0.1 solar masses. A 16'x 16' region of the Cha I North cloud was observed with the imaging array of the Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer (ACIS-I) detector on board the Chandra X-Ray Observatory. The observation took place on 2001 July 2.25-3.04 UT with the detector aimpoint set at 11 10 00.0, -76 35 00 (J2000.0 RA and Declination). The effective exposure was 66.3 ksec. The authors also obtained VI-band CCD images of most of the ACIS field with the 1m telescope and CCD detector at the South African Astronomical Observatory (SAAO) during 2002 February. This table was created by the HEASARC in February 2007 based on <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/ApJ/614/267">CDS catalog J/ApJ/614/267</a> files table1.dat, table2.dat and table3.dat.

SEP Multiwavelength Photometric Catalog
The Spitzer-IRAC/MIPS Extragalactic survey (SIMES) in the South Ecliptic Pole field (SEP) covers an area of 7.74 sq. deg to a depth of ~5.80 microJy (3sigma) at 3.6 microns and 5.25 microJy at 4.5 microns. The 90% and 50% completeness limits are at 14 and 9 microJy, respectively. The multiwavelength catalog includes the WFI-Rc, MIPS-24 micron, SPIRE 250, 350 and 500 micron fluxes of the counterparts that were identified by searching for the closest neighbor.
ROSAT All-Sky Survey CALS Galaxy Groups Catalog
This table contains the catalog from the ROSAT All-Sky Survey (RASS) Center for Astrophysics (CfA) Loose Systems, or RASSCALS, the largest X-ray and optical survey of low-mass galaxy groups as of its publication date in 2000. The authors drew 260 groups from the combined Center for Astrophysics and Southern Sky Redshift Surveys, covering one-quarter of the sky to a limiting Zwicky magnitude of m<sub>z</sub> = 15.5. They detected 61 groups (23%) as extended X-ray sources. The X-ray detections have a median membership of nine galaxies, a median recession velocity cz = 7250 km/s, a median projected velocity dispersion sigma(p) = 400 km/s, and a median X-ray luminosity L(x) = 3 x 10<sup>42</sup> /h(100)<sup>2</sup> erg/s, where the Hubble constant is H(0) = 100 h(100) km/s/Mpc. The data in this table replace the preliminary analysis of the X-ray data which was presented in Mahdavi et al., 1999, ApJ, 518, 69 (CDS Cat. <J/ApJ/518/69>.
