XMM-Newton Serendipitous Source Catalog from Stacked Observations: Obs. Data
The stacked catalog 4XMM-DR14s (<a href="/W3Browse/xmm-newton/xmmstack.html">XMMSTACK</a>) has been compiled from 1,751 groups, comprising 10,336 overlapping XMM-Newton observations. They were selected from the public observations taken between 2000 February 1 and 2023 November 16 which overlap by at least one arcminute in radius. It contains 427,524 unique sources, 329,972 of them multiply observed, with positions and source parameters like fluxes in the XMM-Newton standard energy bands, hardness ratios, quality estimate, and information on inter-observation variability. The parameters are directly derived from the simultaneous fit, and, wherever applicable, additionally calculated for each contributing observation. Exposures that do not qualify for source detection, for example because of a high background level, are used for subsequent PSF photometry: source fluxes and flux-related parameters are derived for them at the source position and extent found during source detection. 4XMM-DR14s lists 1,807,316 individual flux measurements of the 427,524 unique sources. Stacked source detection aims at exploring the multiply observed sky regions and exploit their survey potential, in particular to study the long-term behavior of X-ray emitting sources. It thus makes use of the long(er) effective exposure time per sky area and offers the opportunity to investigate flux variability directly through the source detection process. The main catalog properties are summarized in the table below, the data processing and the stacked source detection are described in the processing summary. To ensure detection quality, background levels are assessed, and event-based astrometric corrections are applied before running source detection. After source detections, problematic detections and detection parameters are flagged by an automated algorithm. All detections are screened visually, and obviously spurious sources are flagged manually. This table contains the source parameters from the individual observations in the stacked catalog, <a href="/W3Browse/xmm-newton/xmmstack.html">4XMM-DR14s</a>. The parameters are derived from the simultaneous source-detection fit to all stacked observations at the common source position for each observation that covers a source, amounting to 1,807,316 measurements. The mean source parameters from stacked source detection are provided in the associated main table <a href="/W3Browse/xmm-newton/xmmstack.html">4XMM-DR14s</a>, referred to as XMMSTACK. The authors referred to the EPIC instruments with the following designations: PN, M1 (MOS1), and M2 (MOS2). The energy bands used in the 4XMM processing were the same as for the 3XMM catalog. The following are the basic energy bands: <pre> 1: 0.2-0.5 keV 2: 0.5-1.0 keV 3: 1.0-2.0 keV 4: 2.0-4.5 keV 5: 4.5-12.0 keV </pre> All-EPIC values cover the energy range 0.2-12.0 keV.

VLA SWIRE Deep Field 90-cm Source Catalog
This table contains some of the results from the deepest radio continuum surveys to date at a radio wavelength of >~ 1m. The observations were taken with the VLA at 324.5 MHz covering a region of the SWIRE Spitzer Legacy survey, centered at RA and Dec of 10:46:00, +59:01:00 (J2000). The data reduction and analysis are described in the reference paper and a catalog of the sources detected above 5 sigma is presented herein. The authors also discuss the observed angular size distribution for the sample in their paper, and, using their deeper 20-cm survey of the same field (Owen and Morrison 2008, AJ, 136, 1889), they calculate spectral indices for sources detected in both surveys. They report log N-log S counts at 90 cm which show a flattening below 5 mJy. Given the median redshift of the population, z ~ 1, the spectral flattening and the flattening of the log N-log S counts occur at radio luminosities normally associated with AGN rather than with galaxies dominated by star formation. Observations were made of a single pointing center position (given above), with the VLA in A and C configurations for a total of almost 85 hours on-source between 2006 February and 2007 January. However, due to the ongoing EVLA upgrade, only 22 working antennae were typically avaliable in A and 18 in C. Thus, the total integration time was equivalent to ~ 63 hours in A and even less in C, with correspondingly less u-v coverage. This table was created by the HEASARC in September 2010 based on <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/AJ/137/4846/">CDS catalog J/AJ/137/4846/</a> file table2.dat.

Planck PCCS2E 857GHz Catalog
The second Planck Catalogue of Compact Sources (PCCS2) is a set of single-frequency source catalogues extracted from the Planck full-mission maps in intensity and polarization. The 100, 143, 217, and 353 GHz catalogs include polarization measurements. 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.The PCCS2E catalogs consist of those sources detected in sky regions where the diffuse emission makes it difficult to quantify the reliability of the detections.
APOGLIMPSE Catalog
The APOGLIMPSE project re-images 53 square degrees of the inner Galactic plane that have also been targeted by the APOGEE/APOGEE-2 surveys - Sloan III and IV programs to obtain high resolution H band spectroscopy for hundreds of thousands of red giants. The data will be combined with the original GLIMPSE observations of the Galactic plane in 2004-2005 to measure the proper motions of the sources along the Galactic plane over the past decade.
NGC 1600 Chandra X-Ray Discrete Source Catalog
The authors observed the X-ray-bright E3 galaxy NGC 1600 and nearby members of the NGC 1600 group with the Chandra X-Ray Observatory ACIS-S3 to study their X-ray properties. NGC 1600 is the brightest member of the NGC 1600 group; NGC 1601 (1.6 arcminutes away) and NGC 1603 (2.5 arcminutes away) are the two nearest galaxies, both of which are non-interacting members. The authors adopted the 2MASS Point Source Catalog position of J2000.0 RA = 04<sup>h</sup> 31<sup>m</sup> 39.87<sup>s</sup>, Dec = -05<sup>o</sup> 05' 10.5" as the location of the center of the NGC 1600 galaxy. Unresolved emission dominates the Chandra observation; however, some of the emission is resolved into 71 sources, most of which are low-mass X-ray binaries associated with NGC 1600. Twenty-one of the sources have L<sub>X</sub> > 2 x 10<sup>39</sup> ergs/s (0.3-10.0 keV; assuming they are at the distance of NGC 1600 of 59.98 Mpc), marking them as ultraluminous X-ray point source (ULX) candidates. NGC 1600 may have the largest number of ULX candidates in an early-type galaxy to date; however, cosmic variance in the number of background active galactic nuclei cannot be ruled out. The spectrum and luminosity function (LF) of the resolved sources are more consistent with sources found in other early-type galaxies than with sources found in star-forming regions of galaxies. The source LF and the spectrum of the unresolved emission both indicate that there are a large number of unresolved point sources. The authors propose that these sources are associated with globular clusters (GCs) and that NGC 1600 has a large GC specific frequency. Observations of the GC population in NGC 1600 would be very useful for testing this prediction. NGC 1600 was observed in two intervals on 2002 September 18-19 (ObsID 4283) and 2002 September 20 (ObsID 4371) with live exposures of 26,783 and 26,752 s, respectively. The first observation showed clear evidence of a major background "flare" in the first 20% of the observation. The second observation had some small fluctuations greater than 20% from the mean rate. After these were filtered, observations 4283 and 4371 had flare-free exposure times of 21,562 and 23,616 s, respectively. This table lists all 71 discrete sources detected by wavdetect over the 0.3-6 keV energy range in the combination of the two observations. The first 3 sources (source numbers 1, 2 and 3) are clearly extended according to the authors. The authors expect 11 +/- 2 foreground/background sources to be present based on the source counts in Brandt et al. (2000, AJ, 119, 2349) and Mushotzky et al. (2000, Nature, 404, 459). The authors determined the observed X-ray hardness ratios for the sources, using the same techniques that they have used previously. They define three hardness ratios as H21 = (M-S)/(M+S), H31 = (H-S)/(H+S), and H32 = (H-M)/(H+M), where S,M, and H are the total counts in the soft (0.3-1 keV), medium (1-2 keV) and hard (2-6 keV) respectively. From their previous definitions, they have reduced the hard band from 2-10 to 2-6 keV: since the 6-10 keV range is dominated by background photons for most sources, this should increase the S/N of the hardness ratio techniques. The hardness ratios measure observed counts, which are affected by Galactic absorption and quantum efficiency (QE) degradation in the Chandra ACIS detectors. In order to compare with other galaxies, it is useful to correct the hardness ratios for these two soft X-ray absorption effects. Therefore, the authors have calculated the intrinsic hardness ratios, denoted by a superscript 0, using a correction factor in each band appropriate to the best-fit spectrum of the resolved sources, and these are what are quoted in this table. This table was created by the HEASARC in May 2018 based on <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/ApJ/617/262/">CDS Catalog J/ApJ/617/262/</a> file table1.dat, the list of detected discrete X-ray sources in the Chandra observation of the NGC 1600 group.

HERITAGE SMC PACS 100 micron Catalog
The HERschel Inventory of The Agents of Galaxy Evolution (HERITAGE) open time key program mapped the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) and Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) at 100, 160, 250, 350, and 500 microns using Herschel's PACS and SPIRE instruments. The overriding science goal of HERITAGE is to study the life cycle of matter as traced by dust in the LMC and SMC.
Phoenix Deep Survey 1.4-GHz Catalog
The initial Phoenix Deep Survey (PDS) observations with the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) have been supplemented by additional 1.4 GHz observations over the past few years. Here we present details of the construction of a new mosaic image covering an area of 4.56 deg<sup>2</sup> referred to as the Phoenix Deep field (PDF), an investigation of the reliability of the source measurements, and the 1.4 GHz source counts for the compiled radio catalog. The mosaic achieves a 1-sigma rms noise of 12 µJy at its most sensitive, and a homogeneous radio-selected catalog of over 2000 sources reaching flux densities as faint as 60 µJy has been compiled. The source parameter measurements are found to be consistent with the expected uncertainties from the image noise levels and the Gaussian source fitting procedure. A radio-selected sample avoids the complications of obscuration associated with optically selected samples, and by utilizing complementary PDS observations, including multicolor optical, near-infrared, and spectroscopic data, this radio catalog will be used in a detailed investigation of the evolution in star formation spanning the redshift range 0 < z < 1. The homogeneity of the catalog ensures a consistent picture of galaxy evolution can be developed over the full cosmologically significant redshift range of interest. The PDF covers a high-latitude region that is of low optical obscuration and devoid of bright radio sources. ATCA 1.4 GHz observations were made in 1994, 1997, 1999, 2000, and 2001 in the 6A, 6B, and 6C array configurations, accumulating a total of 523 hr of observing time. The initial 1994 ATCA observations (Hopkins et al. 1998, MNRAS, 296, 839; Hopkins 1998, PhD thesis) consisted of 30 pointings on a hexagonal tessellation, resulting in a 2 degrees diameter field centered on R.A. = 01<sup>h</sup> 14<sup>m</sup> 12.16<sup>s</sup>, Dec = -45<sup>o</sup> 44' 8.0" (J2000.0), with roughly uniform sensitivity of about 60 µJy rms. This survey was supplemented from 1997 to 2001 by extensive observations of a further 19 pointings situated on a more finely spaced hexagonal grid, centered on R.A. = 01<sup>h</sup> 11<sup>m</sup> 13.0<sup>s</sup>, Dec = -45<sup>o</sup> 45' 00" (J2000.0). The locations of all pointing centers are given in Table 1 of the reference paper. The final mosaic constructed from all 49 pointings was trimmed to remove the highest noise regions at the edges by masking out regions with an rms noise level greater than 0.25 mJy. The trimmed PDF mosaic image covers an area of 4.56 deg<sup>2</sup> and reaches to a measured level of 12 µJy rms noise in the most sensitive regions. The table contained here is the final merged catalog of PDS surveys based on the union of the 10% false discovery rate (FDR) threshold catalog (PDS_atca_fdr10_full_vis.cat) for the trimmed mosaic, visually edited to remove objects clearly associated with artifacts close to bright sources, containing 2058 sources, and the 10% FDR threshold catalog (PDS_atca_fdr10_deep.cat) for the 33' x 33' region centered on the most sensitive portion of the mosaic, containing 491 sources. The merged catalog was constructed to contain all unique catalogued sources; where common sources were identified, only the entry from PDS_atca_fdr10_deep.cat was retained. There are a total of 2148 sources in the final merged catalog, of which up to 10% may be false. This table was created by the HEASARC in November 2012 based on the file PDS_atca_fdr10_merge.cat, the merged PDS catalog (derived from the individual catalogs PDS_atca_fdr10_full_vis.cat and PDS_atca_fdr10_deep.cat as discussed in the Overview above), which was obtained from the first author's website <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20171009234923/www.physics.usyd.edu.au/~ahopkins/phoenix/">https://web.archive.org/web/20171009234923/www.physics.usyd.edu.au/~ahopkins/phoenix/</a>. 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 .
HerMES Band-merged Catalog (250 micron positions)
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.
ANS Ultraviolet Photometry Catalog of Point Sources
All reliable observations of point sources with the ultraviolet photometer onboard the Astronomical Netherlands Satellite (ANS) operating between the October 1974 and April 1976 are presented. Extended objects, non-detected objects, and objects at the edges of the instrument's field of view have been omitted. The catalog contains 3573 objects, mostly stars (the total ANS UV database contained 4800 observed positions). The ANS satellite observed in five UV channels centered around 150, 180, 220, 250 and 330 nm (1500, 1800, 2200, 2500 and 3300 Angstroms). The characteristics of the ANS UV photometric bands are: <pre> Band designation 15N 15W 18 22 25 33 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Central wavelength (nm) 154.5 154.9 179.9 220.0 249.3 329.4 Bandwidth (nm) 5.0 14.9 14.9 20.0 15.0 10.1 </pre> The reported magnitudes were obtained from mean count rates converted to fluxes using the ANS absolute calibration of Wesselius et al. (1980A&A....85..221W). In addition to the ultraviolet magnitudes, the catalog contains positions taken from the satellite pointing, spectral types, and UBV data from other sources as well as comments on duplicity, variability, and miscellaneous notes concerning individual objects. Within the ANS photometric system, the UV magnitudes of different objects are comparable down to a level of 0.5-1.0%. Several studies on the intercomparison of all ANS data, and on the comparison of the ANS data with stellar models, with other UV satellites, and with the expected UV fluxes on the basis of ground-based information alone suggest that the ANS photometric system is well-established, and has, in particular, a linear dynamic range of at least a factor of 20,000. In these two respects, repeatability and dynamic range, the ANS UV instrument far exceeded all other UV missions then extant, e.g., TD-S2/68, OAO-WEP, and IUE. Of course, ANS had a much poorer spectral resolution, about 15 nm (150 Angstroms), than the other instruments.

Spitzer Extragalactic First Look Survey IRAC Ch3 Main 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.
Northern ROSAT All-Sky (NORAS) Galaxy Cluster Survey Catalog
In the construction of an X-ray-selected sample of galaxy clusters for cosmological studies, the authors have assembled a sample of 495 X-ray sources which were found to show extended X-ray emission in the first processing of the ROSAT All-Sky Survey (RASS I), the Northern ROSAT All-Sky (NORAS) Galaxy Cluster Survey Catalog. The sample covers the celestial region with declination >=0 degrees and Galactic latitude |b| >= 20 degrees, and comprises sources with a Position Sensitive Proportional Counter (PSPC) count rate >= 0.06 counts/s and a source extent likelihood of L >= 7. In an optical follow-up identification program, the authors found 378 (76%) of these sources to be clusters of galaxies. It was necessary to reanalyze the sources in this sample with a new X-ray source characterization technique to provide more precise values for the X-ray flux and source extent than obtained from the standard processing. This new method, termed growth curve analysis (GCA), has the advantage over previous methods in its ability to be robust, to be easy to model and to integrate into simulations, to provide diagnostic plots for visual inspection, and to make extensive use of the X-ray data. The source parameters obtained assist the source identification and provide more precise X-ray fluxes. This reanalysis is based on data from the more recent second processing of the ROSAT Survey, RASS II. The authors present a catalog of the cluster sources with the X-ray properties obtained as well as a list of the previously flagged extended sources that are found to have a non-cluster counterpart. In their paper, they discuss the process of source identification from the combination of optical and X-ray data. To investigate the overall completeness of the cluster sample as a function of the X-ray flux limit, they extended the search for X-ray cluster sources to the RASS II data for the northern sky region between 9 and 14 hours in right ascension. They included the search for X-ray emission from known galaxy clusters as well as a new investigation of extended X-ray sources. In the course of this search, they found X-ray emission from 85 additional Abell clusters and 56 very probable cluster candidates among the newly found extended sources. A comparison of the X-ray cluster number counts of the NORAS sample with the ROSAT-ESO Flux-limited X-ray (REFLEX) Cluster Survey results leads to an estimate of the completeness of the NORAS sample of ROSAT All-Sky Survey (RASS) I extended clusters of about 50% at an X-ray flux of FX(0.1-2.4 keV) = 3 x 10-12 ergs s<sup>-1</sup> cm<sup>-2</sup>. The estimated completeness achieved by adding the supplementary sample in the study area amounts to about 82% in comparison to REFLEX. The low completeness introduces an uncertainty in the use of the sample for cosmological statistical studies that will be cured with the completion of the continuing Northern ROSAT All-Sky (NORAS) Cluster Survey project.

Deep GLIMPSE Catalog
Deep GLIMPSE is the sixth in a series of large area projects to map regions of the Galactic plane using the Spitzer Space Telescope Infrared Array Camera (IRAC). Deep GLIMPSE is a Warm Mission Spitzer Cycle 8 Exploration Science Program (PIDs 80074 and 80253) that mapped 125 degrees of longitude of the Far Side of the Galaxy. Warm Mission Spitzer has two IRAC bands, centered at approximately 3.6 and 4.5 μm. The Galactic longitudes covered by Deep GLIMPSE are l=265◦-350◦and 25◦-65◦. The latitude width is about 2.1◦. The latitude center follows the Galactic warp at a Galactocentric distance of 13 kpc to survey the Far Outer Galaxy.The Deep GLIMPSE Catalog (GLMDPC, or the “Catalog”) consists of the highest reliability point sources. For each IRAC band the Catalog provides fluxes (with uncertainties), positions (with uncertainties), the areal density of local point sources, the local sky brightness, and a flag that provides information on source quality and known anomalies present in the data.
Sloan Digital Sky Survey I/II Cataclysmic Variables Catalog
The reference paper completed the series of cataclysmic variables (CVs) identified from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) I and II. The coordinates, magnitudes, and SDSS spectra of 33 more CVs were presented. Among the 33 are eight systems known prior to SDSS (CT Ser, DO Leo, HK Leo, IR Com, V849 Her, V405 Peg, PG1230+226, and HS0943+1404), as well as nine objects recently found through various photometric surveys. Among the systems identified since the SDSS are two polar candidates, two intermediate polar candidates, and one candidate for containing a pulsating white dwarf. A complete summary table of the 285 CVs with spectra from SDSS I/II which were listed in the reference paper and the 7 previous papers in the series is contained herein. This table was created by the HEASARC in January 2012 based on an electronic version of Table 6 from the reference paper which was obtained from the AJ web site.

Deep Imaging of 47 Tuc Catalog ConeSearch
Kalirai et al. have observed the globular cluster 47 Tucanae for 121 orbits using the Advanced Camera for Surveys. These extremely deep images were taken in two filters: F606W (broad V-band) and F814W (I-band). Using these observations, Kalirai et al. were able to construct one of the deepest and most complete color-magnitude diagrams of a stellar population, probing down to 30th magnitude and extending from the faintest end of the main sequence to the coolest white dwarf members. As an added bonus, members of the Small Magellanic Cloud represent background sources, and these observations are able to resolve SMC targets down to 0.2 solar masses.The team have released their stacked ACS mosaics (FITS files), source catalog (ASCII text table), and artificial source lists (ASCII text table) used for testing photometry, astrometry, and completeness, as High Level Science Products. We summarize the creation of the stacked images and generation of the catalogs below, but refer you to the original publication for complete details.All available catalogs are listed at http://archive.stsci.edu/vo/mast_services.html.
Sloan Digital Sky Survey/XMM-Newton AGN Spectral Properties Catalog
Bright XMM-Newton data are combined with the Chandra Deep Field South observations to explore the behavior of the intrinsic AGN absorption, as a function of redshift and luminosity. The sample consists of 359 sources selected in the hard 2 - 8 keV band, spanning the flux range from 6 x 10<sup>-16</sup> - 3 x 10<sup>-13</sup> erg/cm<sup>2</sup>/s with a high rate of spectroscopic or photometric redshift completeness (100 and 85 percent for the Chandra and XMM-Newton data, respectively). The authors derive the column density values using X-ray spectral fits. They find that the fraction of obscured AGN falls with increasing luminosity in agreement with previous findings. The fraction of obscured AGN shows an apparent increase at high redshifts (z > 2). Simulations show that this effect can most probably be attributed to the fact that at high redshifts the column densities are overestimated. This table contains the subset of 153 brighter hard X-ray sources in the XMM-Newton/Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) sample which have 2-8 keV fluxes > 3 x 10<sup>-14</sup> erg cm<sup>-2</sup> s<sup>-1</sup>, excluding a number of sources with extended optical morphology and blue colors, as well as 4 sources with X-ray to optical fluxes < 0.1 which are fit better with stellar rather than QSO templates. Much more information on the SDSS is available at the project's web site at <a href="http://www.sdss.org/">http://www.sdss.org/</a>.

The Spitzer Deep, Wide-Field Survey (SDWFS) is a four-epoch infrared survey of 10 square degrees in the Boötes field of the NOAO Deep Wide-Field Survey using the IRAC instrument on the Spitzer Space Telescope. SDWFS, a Spitzer Cycle 4 Legacy project, occupies a unique position in the area-depth survey space defined by other Spitzer surveys. The four epochs that make up SDWFS permit - for the first time - the selection of infrared-variable and high proper motion objects over a wide field on timescales of years. Because of its large survey volume, SDWFS is sensitive to galaxies out to z ~ 3 with relatively little impact from cosmic variance for all but the richest systems. The SDWFS data sets will thus be especially useful for characterizing galaxy evolution beyond z ~ 1.5.The delivery consists of four band-matched catalogs for each of the four epochs and for the total SDWFS coadd data, a total of 20 catalogs. Vega magnitudes are reported for each IRAC band: 3.6, 4.5, 5.8, and 8 microns. Each source was measured three ways: 4 arcsec diameter aperture, 6 arcsec diameter aperture, and Kron radius aperture (MAG_AUTO in SExtractor). Source coordinates correspond to 2MASS catalog positions to within 0.2 arcsec. The tabulated uncertainties are twice the SExtractor (statistical only) uncertainties as an attempt to account for systematic uncertainties.
Allen Telescope Array Twenty-cm Survey (ATATS) Source Catalog
This table contains the source catalog from the Allen Telescope Array Twenty-centimeter Survey (ATATS), a multi-epoch (12 visits), 690 deg<sup>2</sup> radio image and catalog at 1.4 GHz. The survey is designed to detect rare, very bright transients as well as to verify the capabilities of the ATA to form large mosaics. The combined image using data from all 12 ATATS epochs has an rms noise sigma = 3.94 mJy beam<sup>-1</sup> and a dynamic range of 180, with a circular beam of 150 arcseconds FWHM. It contains 4408 sources to a limiting sensitivity of 5 sigma = 20 mJy beam<sup>-1</sup>. The authors compare the catalog generated from this 12-epoch combined image to the NRAO VLA Sky Survey (NVSS), a legacy survey at the same frequency, and find that they can measure source positions to better than ~ 20 arcseconds. For sources above the ATATS completeness limit, the median flux density is 97% of the median value for matched NVSS sources, indicative of an accurate overall flux calibration. The authors examine the effects of source confusion due to the effects of differing resolution between the ATATS and NVSS on their ability to compare flux densities. They detect no transients at flux densities greater than 40 mJy in comparison with NVSS and place a 2 sigma upper limit of 0.004 deg<sup>-2</sup> on the transient rate for such sources. These results suggest that the >~ 1 Jy transients reported by Matsumara et al. (2009, AJ, 138, 787) may not be true transients, but rather variable sources at their flux density threshold. This table was created by the HEASARC in September 2010 based on the electronic version of Table 2 from the reference paper which was obtained from the ApJ web site.

H Persei Chandra X-Ray Point Source Catalog
This table contains some of the results from a Chandra/ACIS-I observations of the massive ~ 13-14 Myr-old cluster, h Persei, part of the famous Double Cluster (h and Chi Persei) in Perseus. Combining the list of 330 Chandra-detected sources with new optical/IR photometry and optical spectroscopy reveals ~ 165 X-ray bright stars with V <~ 23. Roughly 142 have optical magnitudes and colors consistent with cluster membership. The observed distribution of X-ray luminosity L<sub>x</sub> peaks at L<sub>x</sub> ~ 10<sup>30.3</sup> erg s<sup>-1</sup> and likely traces the bright edge of a far larger population of ~ 0.4-2 M<sub>sun</sub> X-ray active stars. From a short list of X-ray active stars with IRAC 8-micron excess from warm, terrestrial zone dust, the authors derive a maximum X-ray flux incident on forming terrestrial planets. Although there is no correlation between X-ray activity and IRAC excess, the fractional X-ray luminosity correlates with optical colors and spectral type. By comparing the distribution of L<sub>x</sub>/L<sub>star</sub> versus spectral type and (V-I) in h Per with results for other 1-100 Myr-old clusters, the authors show that stars slightly more massive than the Sun (>~ 1.5 M<sub>sun</sub>) fall out of X-ray saturation by ~ 10-15 Myr. Changes in stellar structure for >~ 1.5 M<sub>sun</sub> stars likely play an important role in this decline of X-ray emission. Chandra observations of h Persei were taken with a 41.1 ks exposure on 2004 December 2, (Obs. ID 5407; Sequence Number 200341) with the ACIS detector (chips 0, 1, 2, 3, 6, and 7). The data were obtained in dithered, timed mode, with a frametime of 3.2 s. On-board event rejection and event telemetry was in the VFAINT mode. The field was centered on RA(2000) = 2h19m00s, Dec(2000) = 57d07'12", close to the center of h Persei from Bragg & Kenyon (2005, AJ, 130, 134) (RA(2000) = 2h18m56.4s, Dec(2000) = 57d08'25") and observed at a roll angle of 229 degrees. The data were not registered to an astrometric reference frame (e.g., Two Micron All Sky Survey, 2MASS). The ACIS-I field covers a 17' x 17' area. This table was created by the HEASARC in March 2009 based on the electronic versions of Tables 1 and 2 from the paper which were obtained from the Astronomical Journal web site.

SAGE-SMC IRAC Epoch 1 Catalog
The SAGE-SMC pro ject is a Cycle 4 legacy program on the Spitzer Space Telescope, entitled, SAGE-SMC: Surveying the Agents of Galaxy Evolution in the Tidally-Disrupted, Low-Metallicity Small Magellanic Cloud, with Karl Gordon (STScI) as the PI. The project overview and initial results are described in a paper by Gordon et al. (2010, in prep). The SMC was mapped at two different epochs dubbed Epochs 1 and 2 separated by 3 (IRAC) and 9 (MIPS) months, as this provides a 90-degree roll angle in the orientation of the detectors, which optimally removes the striping artifacts in MIPS and artifacts along columns and rows in the IRAC image data. In addition, these two epochs are useful constraints of source variability expected for evolved stars and some young stellar ob jects (YSOs). The IRAC and MIPS observations from the S3MC pathfinder survey of the inner 3 sq. deg. of the SMC (PI: Bolatto, referred to as Epoch 0) have been reduced using the same software. In comparison to the catalog, the archive has more source fluxes (fewer nulled wavelengths) and some more sources but these additions have more uncertainty associated with them. For the catalog, a source must be detected in at least 60% of the observations at that wavelength, at least 32% of the observations in an adjacent band (the confirming band), and the S/N must be greater than [5, 5, 5, 7] for IRAC bands [3.6um], [4.5um], [5.8um] and [8.0um]. The 2MASS K_s band is counted as a detection. For a typical source, extracted from 2x12 sec frametime images, the minimum detection criterion amounts to being detected twice in one band (usually band 1 or 2) and once in an adjacent band (sometimes referred to as the 2+1 criterion). For the catalog, sources with neighbors within a 2" radius are excluded (culled). For the archive, sources within a 0.5" are excluded. For more details, see Section 3.3 of the SAGE-SMC Data Delivery Document.
