NuSTAR Master Catalog
The Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR) mission, launched on 2012 June 13, is the first focusing high-energy X-ray telescope in orbit. NuSTAR operates in the band from 3 to 79 keV, extending the sensitivity of focusing instruments far beyond the ~10 keV high-energy cutoff achieved by all previous X-ray satellites. The inherently low background associated with concentrating the X-ray light enables NuSTAR to probe the hard X-ray sky with a more than 100-fold improvement in sensitivity over the collimated or coded mask instruments that have operated in this bandpass. The observatory was placed into a 600-km altitude, 6 degree inclination circular orbit, and consists of two co-aligned grazing-incidence X-ray telescopes pointed at celestial targets by a three-axis stabilized spacecraft. NuSTAR has completed its two-year primary science mission, and, with an expected orbit lifetime of more than 10 years, the opportunity for proposing observations as part of the General Observer (GO) program is now available, with observations beginning in 2015. Using its unprecedented combination of sensitivity and spatial and spectral resolution, NuSTAR offers opportunities for a broad range of science investigations, ranging from probing cosmic ray origins to studying the extreme physics around compact objects to mapping micro-flares on the surface of the Sun. NuSTAR also responds to targets of opportunity including supernovae and gamma-ray bursts. This table contains a list of (a) unobserved targets that are planned or have been accepted for observation by NuSTAR in the future and (b) NuSTAR observations which have been processed and successfully validated by the NuSTAR Science Operation Center. The data from these observations may or may not be public and the user should check the value of the public_date parameter to determine the status of a specified data set. Only those ObsIDs which have a public_date in the past will have data publicly available. Observations with a public_date parameter value which is either blank or a date in the future have been ingested into the HEASARC archive but will remain encrypted until their public date. Entries with the status field set to 'accepted' are targets approved for scheduling, and the planned exposure time given in the exposure_a (and exposure_b) parameter will have a negative value for those targets. This database table is based on information supplied by the NuSTAR Project at Caltech. It is automatically updated on a regular basis. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .
Bolocam Galactic Plane Survey Catalog v2.1
The Version 2 release (hereafter v2) of the BGPS data includes images and a catalog. It is described in Ginsburg et al (2013).The new images have improved fidelity and more uniform noise. The fields include all those in the original v1 release and some new data. There are new fields included in the BGPS v2 release, primarily in the outer galaxy but including some expansions in the inner galaxy. These include M17, IRAS 22172, a significant expansion in l and b around the l=110 region, Mon R2, NGC 2264, parts of the Orion A and B clouds, Sharpless 235, and scattered IRAS+CO selected fields at longitude 119, 123, 126, 129, 154, 169, 181, 182, 195, 201, and 217. IRSA provides a coverage map.There is a new catalog associated with the v2 images. The sources were extracted using Bolocat with parameters set in the same way as for the v1 catalog. There are many sources in v1 that are not in v2 and vice-versa. These discrepancies occur primarily for faint sources with low signal-to-noise. Objects in both catalogs are likely to be real since catalog parameters were selected to minimize false positives. Changing the quality of the images and the structure of the noise highlights some new objects and obscures others. The v2 catalog has about a 75% overlap with the v1 catalog. The differences are explored in more detail in the Ginsburg et al (2013).The flux calibration offset identified in the version 1 data is now understood. The version 2 data are brighter, on average, by approximately a factor 1.5, but the factor varies from source to source. The v2 catalog should be used instead of the v1 catalog. The source of the error was the incorrect application of a flux calibration solution.Contreras et al (2013) noted a 4.7 arcsecond offset between the BGPS v1 catalog and the ATLASGAL catalog. We believe this is caused by an offset of that magnitude (~3-4 arcseconds) in a few fields that have an inordinate number of sources extracted; the pointing accuracy in the vast majority of the BGPS fields, based on a comparison to Herschel Hi-Gal images, is better than 4 arcseconds, but the mean offset is within 2 arcseconds of zero.
Bootes Field GMRT 153-MHz Source Catalog
The authors obtained deep, high-resolution radio interferometric observations at 153 MHz to complement the extensively studied NOAO Bootes field. In their paper, they provide a description of the observations, data reduction and source catalog construction. From their single-pointing GMRT observation of ~12 hours, they obtained a high-resolution (26" x 22") image of ~11.3 square degrees, fully covering the Bootes field region and beyond. The image has a central noise level of ~1.0 mJy beam<sup>-1</sup>, which rises to 2.0 - 2.5 mJy beam<sup>-1</sup> at the field edge, placing it amongst the deepest ~150 MHz surveys to date. The catalog of 598 extracted sources is estimated to be ~92% complete for > 10 mJy sources, while the estimated contamination by false detections is < 1%. The low rms positional uncertainty of 1.24" facilitates accurate matching against catalogs at optical, infrared and other wavelengths. Differential source counts were determined down to < ~10 mJy. The authors find no evidence for flattening of the counts towards lower flux densities as observed in deep radio surveys at higher frequencies, suggesting that their catalog is dominated by the classical radio-loud AGN population that explains the counts at higher flux densities. Combination with available deep 1.4 GHz observations yields an accurate determination of spectral indices for 417 sources down to the lowest 153 MHz flux densities, of which 16 have ultra-steep spectra with spectral indices below -1.3. The authors confirm that flattening of the median spectral index towards low flux densities also occurs at this frequency. The detection fraction of the radio sources in the NIR K<sub>s</sub>-band is found to drop with radio spectral index, which is in agreement with the known correlation between spectral index and redshift for brighter radio sources. This table contains the list of 598 153-MHz sources detected in the GMRT observation and their properties at this frequency. There are a number of other tables of objects in the Bootes field made at other frequencies: <pre> HEASARC Table | Title | Reference BOOTESDF | 1.4GHz imaging of the Bootes field | de Vries+ 2002,AJ,123,1784 LALABOOCXO | LALA Bootes field X-ray source catalog | Wang+ 2004,AJ,127,213 --- | Faint radio sources in NOAO Bootes field | Wrobel+ 2005,AJ,130,923 --- | 16um sources in the NOAO Bootes field | Kasliwal+ 2005,ApJ,634,L1 XBOOTES | X-ray survey of the NDWFS Bootes field | Kenter+ 2005,ApJS,161,9 XBOOTESOID | Optical counterparts in the NDWFS Bootes | Brand+ 2006,ApJ,64,140 | field | </pre> This table was created by the HEASARC in December 2011 based on <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/A+A/535/A38">CDS Catalog J/A+A/535/A38</a> file table3.dat.

Einstein Catalog HRI ESTEC Sources
The Einstein High Resolution Imager (HRI) consisted of a micro-channel plate. This database table has been generated at the EXOSAT observatory by automatically processing all the HRI images. Both the images and detected sources are available. This catalog has not been cleaned or checked. Users should beware of two possible problems: (1) spurious detections caused by extended sources have not been checked, and (2) there may be a one-pixel offset in some positions. For HRI images, one pixel is one arcsecond. (The images are rebinned from the original 0.5 arcseconds.) This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .
M 31 Globular Cluster Candidates Catalog

CGRO/EGRET Third Source Catalog
The Third EGRET Catalog of High-Energy Gamma-Ray Sources is based on data obtained by the Energetic Gamma-Ray Experiment Telescope (EGRET) on board the Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory (CGRO) during the period from 1991 April 22 to 1995 October 3, corresponding to GRO Cycles 1, 2, 3, and 4. EGRET is sensitive to photons in the energy range from about 30 MeV to over 20 GeV, the highest energies accessible by the CGRO instruments, and, like COMPTEL, is an imaging instrument. In addition to including more data than the Second EGRET Catalog (2EG, Thompson et al. 1995, ApJS, 101, 259) and its supplement (2EGS, Thompson et al. 1996, ApJS, 107, 227), this catalog uses completely reprocessed data so as to correct a number of mostly minimal errors and problems. The 271 sources (E > 100 MeV) in the catalog include the single 1991 solar flare that was bright enough to detected as a source, the LMC, 5 pulsars, one probable radio galaxy detection (Cen A), and 66 high-confidence identifications of blazars (BL Lac objects, flat-spectrum radio quasars, or unidentified flat-spectrum radio sources). In addition, 27 lower-confidence potential blazar identifications are noted. Finally, the catalog contains 170 sources that are not yet firmly identified with known objects, although potential identifications have been suggested for a number of these. As already noted, there are 271 distinct sources in this catalog: since there are multiple measurements for these sources corresponding to the various viewing periods, there are 5246 entries in the HEASARC's version of the 3rd EGRET Catalog corresponding to the same number of lines in Table 4 of the published version. Thus, there are an average of about 20 entries for every distinct source. Notice that 14 sources reported in the 2nd EGRET Catalog or its supplement do not appear in this 3rd EGRET Catalog: 2EG J0403+3357, 2EG J0426+6618, 2EGS J0500+5902, 2EGS J0552-1026, 2EG J1136-0414, 2EGS J1236-0416, 2EG J1239+0441, 2EG J1314+5151, 2EG J1430+5356, 2EG J1443-6040, 2EG J1631-2845, 2EG J1709-0350, 2EG J1815+2950, and 2EG J2027+1054 due to the fact that the re-analysis of the EGRET data has dropped their statistical significance from just above the catalog threshold to just below it; additional information on these sources is provided in Table 5 of the published version of the 3rd EGRET Catalog. This database table was created by the HEASARC in June 1999, based on a machine-readable version of Table 4 of the 3rd EGRET Source Catalog that was provided by the CGRO Science Support Center (CGROSSC). Slight modifications to the Browse Object Classifications were later made in April 2001. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .
eROSITA eFEDS Hard X-Ray (2.3-5.0 keV) Source Catalog
The eROSITA X-ray telescope on board the Spectrum-Roentgen-Gamma (SRG) observatory combines a large field of view and collecting area in the energy range ~0.2 to ~8.0 keV with the capability to perform uniform scanning observations of large sky areas. SRG/eROSITA performed scanning observations of the ~140 square degrees eROSITA Final Equatorial Depth Survey (eFEDS) field as part of its performance verification phase. The observing time was chosen to slightly exceed the depth of equatorial fields after the completion of the eROSITA all-sky survey. The authors present a catalog of detected X-ray sources in the eFEDS field providing source positions and extent information, as well as fluxes in multiple energy bands and document a suite of tools and procedures developed for eROSITA data processing and analysis, validated and optimized by the eFEDS work. A multi-stage source detection procedure was optimized and calibrated by performing realistic simulations of the eROSITA eFEDS observations. The authors cross-matched the eROSITA eFEDS source catalog with previous XMM-ATLAS observations, confirming excellent agreement of the eROSITA and XMM-ATLAS source fluxes. This table presents the hard band sample of 246 sources detected in the energy range 2.3-5.0 keV above a detection likelihood of 10. These sources were detected in three bands (0.2-0.6, 0.6-2.3, and 2.3-5keV) with detect_likelihood >=5 and extent_likelihood = 0 (i.e. point sources). The linked <a href="/W3Browse/erosita/efedsmain.html">EFEDSMAIN</a> table presents the primary catalog of 27910 X-ray sources, including 542 with significant spatial extent, detected in the 0.2-2.3 keV energy range with detection likelihoods >=6 , corresponding to a (point source) flux limit of ~6.5 x 10<sup>-15</sup> erg/cm<sup>2</sup>/s in the 0.5-2.0 keV energy band (80% completeness). A supplementary catalog contains 4774 low-significance source candidates with detection likelihoods between 5 and 6. The dedicated data analysis software package, calibration database, and calibrated data products are described in an appendix. Additional information for the eROSITA early data release observations is available at the <a href="https://erosita.mpe.mpg.de/edr/">eROSITA-DE EDR website</a>. This database table was originally ingested by the HEASARC in August 2022 and is based upon the "eROSITA/eFEDS hard catalogue" file downloaded from the eROSITA-DE Early Data Release <a href="https://erosita.mpe.mpg.de/edr/eROSITAObservations/Catalogues/">catalogs web page</a>. It was revised in June 2024 in order to rename the right ascension, declination, and their related positional uncertainty parameters to match the parameter naming convention used in other eROSITA catalogs. 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 .
ChIcAGO Survey Chandra X-Ray Source Catalog
This table contains results from the 'Chasing the Identification of ASCA Galactic Objects' (ChIcAGO) survey, which is designed to identify the unknown X-ray sources discovered during the ASCA Galactic Plane Survey (AGPS). Little is known about most of the AGPS sources, especially those that emit primarily in hard X-rays (2-10 keV) within the X-ray flux range from ~ 10<sup>-13</sup> to 10<sup>-11</sup> erg cm<sup>-2</sup> s<sup>-1</sup>. In ChIcAGO, the sub-arcsecond localization capabilities of Chandra have been combined with a detailed multi-wavelength follow-up program, with the ultimate goal of classifying the > 100 unidentified sources in the AGPS. Overall to date, 93 unidentified AGPS sources have been observed with Chandra as part of the ChIcAGO survey. A total of 253 X-ray point sources have been detected in these Chandra observations within 3 arcminutes of the original ASCA positions. The authors have identified infrared and optical counterparts to the majority of these sources, using both new observations and catalogs from existing Galactic plane surveys. X-ray and infrared population statistics for the X-ray point sources detected in the Chandra observations reveal that the primary populations of Galactic plane X-ray sources that emit in the X-ray flux range from ~ 10<sup>-13</sup> to 10<sup>-11</sup> erg cm<sup>-2</sup> s<sup>-1</sup> are active stellar coronae, massive stars with strong stellar winds that are possibly in colliding wind binaries, X-ray binaries, and magnetars. There is also another primary population that is still unidentified but, on the basis of its X-ray and infrared properties, likely comprises partly Galactic sources and partly active galactic nuclei. A total of 93 AGPS sources have been observed with Chandra as part of the ChIcAGO survey, of which 84 were imaged with ACIS-S and 9 were imaged with HRC-I. The ChIcAGO Chandra observations took place over a 3.5 yr period, from 2007 January to 2010 July. The Chandra exposure times ranged from ~ 1 to 10 ks. All the details of these Chandra observations are listed in Table 1 of the reference paper. The initial automated analysis of these Chandra observations was conducted using the ChIcAGO Multi-wavelength Analysis Pipeline (MAP), described in Section 2.2 of the reference paper. ChIcAGO MAP takes the ACIS-S or HRC-I Chandra observation of an AGPS source field and detects and analyzes all point sources within 3 arcminutes, equivalent to the largest likely position error, for the original AGPS source positions supplied by Sugizaki et al. (2001, ApJS, 134, 77). The authors then performed a more detailed X-ray analysis and counterpart study for those 74 sources with > 20 X-ray counts, as such sources are approximately within the original AGPS sources X-ray flux range (see Sections 3.2 and 3.3 of the reference paper). Infrared and optical follow-up were primarily performed on those ChIcAGO sources having > 20 X-ray counts. In order to determine which optical and infrared sources are counterparts to ChIcAGO sources, the authors used a technique similar to that described by Zhao et al. (2005, ApJS, 161, 429), using their Equation (11). If the separation between a ChIcAGO source's wavdetect position and its possible counterpart is less than the quadratic sum of their 3-sigma positional errors and the 3-sigma Chandra pointing error, then the X-ray and optical (or infrared) sources are likely to be associated. The 1-sigma positional errors for all sources in the 2MASS PSC and GLIMPSE catalogs are 0.1 arcseconds and 0.3 arcseconds, respectively. USNO B has an astrometric accuracy of < 0.25 arcseconds. The authors have assumed that the error distributions of the Chandra observations, Chandra pointing, and USNO B Catalog are all Gaussian for the purposes of identifying possible counterparts to the ChIcAGO sources. This table was created by the HEASARC in June 2014 based on electronic versions of Tables 1, 2 and 12 from the reference paper which were obtained from the ApJS website.

Australia Telescope Compact Array AKARI Deep Field South 20-cm Source Catalog
The results of a deep radio survey at a wavelength of 20 cm are reported for a region containing the AKARI Deep Field South (ADF-S) near the South Ecliptic Pole (SEP), using the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA). The survey (hereafter referred to as the ATCA-ADFS survey) has 1-sigma detection limits ranging from 18.7 to 50 microJansky per beam (µJy/beam, over an area of ~1.1 deg<sup>2</sup>, and ~2.5 deg<sup>2</sup> to lower sensitivity. The observations, data reduction and source count analysis are presented in the paper, along with a description of the overall scientific objectives, and a catalog containing 530 radio sources detected with a resolution of 6.2 x 4.9 arcseconds (contained herein). The AKARI Deep Field South survey was primarily made in the far-infrared at wavelengths of 65, 90, 140, 160 micron (µm) over a 12 deg<sup>2</sup> area with the AKARI Far-Infrared Surveyor (FIS) instrument, with shallower mid-infrared coverage at 9 and 18 um using the AKARI Infrared Camera (IRC) instrument. In addition to the wide survey, deeper mid-infrared pointed observations, using the IRC, covering ~0.8 deg<sup>2</sup> and reaching 5-sigma sensitivities of 16, 16, 74, 132, 280 and 580 uJy at 3.2, 4.6, 7, 11, 15 and 24 um, respectively, were also carried out. The radio observations were collected over a 13 day period in 2007 July using the ATCA operated at 1.344 and 1.432 GHz. The total integration time for the 2007 observations was 120 hours. The 2007 data were augmented with a further deep observation made in 2008 December over five nights towards a single pointing position at the ADF-S, which lay just off center of the larger ATCA-ADFS field reported here. This added a further 50 h of integration time. The data were processed in exactly the same way as that from the 2007 observing sessions. Note that in the terminology of the authors, a radio component is described as a region of radio emission represented by a Gaussian shaped object in the map. Close radio doubles are represented by two Gaussians and are deemed to consist of two components, which make up a single source. A selection of radio sources with multiple components is shown in Fig. 3 of the reference paper. This table was created by the HEASARC in November 2013 based on <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/MNRAS/427/1830">CDS Catalog J/MNRAS/427/1830</a> file table2.dat.

Chandra COSMOS (C-COSMOS) Survey Optical/IR Counterparts Catalog
The Chandra COSMOS Survey (C-COSMOS) is a large, 1.8-Ms, Chandra program that has imaged the central 0.9 deg<sup>2</sup> of the COSMOS field down to limiting depths of 1.9 x 10<sup>-16</sup> erg/cm<sup>2</sup>/s in the soft (0.5-2 keV) band, 7.3 x 10<sup>-16</sup> erg/cm<sup>2</sup>/s in the hard (2-10 keV) band, and 5.7 x 10<sup>-16</sup> erg/cm<sup>2</sup>/s in the full (0.5-10 keV) band. In this Paper III of the series of papers on this survey, the authors report the i, K, and 3.6-um identifications of the 1761 X-ray point sources. They use the likelihood ratio technique to derive the association of optical/infrared counterparts for 97% of the X-ray sources. For most of the remaining 3%, the presence of multiple counterparts or the faintness of the possible counterpart prevented a unique association. For only 10 X-ray sources, they were not able to associate a counterpart, mostly due to the presence of a very bright field source close by. Only two sources are truly empty fields. The full catalog, including spectroscopic and photometric redshifts and classification described here in detail, is available herein. See also the related table <a href="ccosmoscat.html">CCOSMOSCAT</a> for the the surveyed X-ray point sources. This table was created by the HEASARC in December 2012, based on the <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/ApJS/201/30">CDS Catalog J/ApJS/201/30</a> file catalog.dat.

RCW 49 Chandra X-Ray Point Source Catalog
This table contains the list of X-ray sources detected in a high-resolution X-ray imaging study of the stellar population in the Galactic massive star-forming region RCW 49 and its central OB association Westerlund 2. The authors obtained a ~ 40 ks X-ray image of a ~ 17' x 17' field using the Chandra X-Ray Observatory and deep NIR images using the Infrared Survey Facility in a concentric ~ 8.3' x 8.3' region. They detected 468 X-ray sources with a photometric significance >=1.0 and a 1% or less chance of being a background fluctuation, and identified optical, near-infrared (NIR), and Spitzer mid-infrared (MIR) counterparts for 379 of them. The unprecedented spatial resolution and sensitivity of the X-ray image, enhanced by optical and infrared imaging data, yielded the following results: (1) The central OB association Westerlund 2 is resolved for the first time in the X-ray band. X-ray emission is detected from all spectroscopically identified early-type stars in this region. (2) Most (~ 86%) X-ray sources with optical or infrared identifications are cluster members in comparison with a control field in the Galactic plane. (3) A loose constraint (2-5 kpc) for the distance to RCW 49 is derived from the mean X-ray luminosity of T Tauri stars. (4) The cluster X-ray population consists of low-mass pre-main-sequence and early-type stars as obtained from X-ray and NIR photometry. About 30 new OB star candidates are identified. (5) The authors estimate a cluster radius of 6' - 7' based on the X-ray surface number density profiles. (6) A large fraction (~ 90%) of cluster members are identified individually using complimentary X-ray and MIR excess emission. (7) The brightest five X-ray sources, two Wolf-Rayet stars and three O stars, have hard thermal spectra. The X-ray observation of RCW 49 was carried out using the Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer (ACIS) on board the Chandra X-Ray Observatory from 2003 August 23 UT 18:20 to August 24 UT 4:54. Four imaging array (ACIS-I) chips covered a 17 by 17 arcminutes field centered at (R.A., Dec.) = (10h24m00.5s, -57d 45' 18") in the equinox J2000.0 for a 36.7 ks exposure. ACIS-I covers the 0.5 - 8.0 keV energy band with a spectral resolution of ~ 150 eV at 6 keV and a point-spread function (PSF) radius of ~ 0.5" within ~ 2' of the on-axis position, degrading to ~ 6" at a 10' off-axis angle. The data were taken with the very faint telemetry mode and the timed exposure CCD operation with a frame time of 3.2 s. Sources with photometric significance of larger than 2 were fitted with an absorbed thin thermal plasma model. The abundance was fixed to be 0.3 times the solar value. Fits lacking uncertainties, fits with large uncertainties, and fits with frozen parameters should be viewed merely as splines to the data to obtain rough estimates of the X-ray luminosities: the listed parameter values are considered unreliable in such cases. The authors also conducted NIR observations on 2004 December 25 and 28 using the Simultaneous three-color Infrared Imager for Unbiased Surveys (SIRIUS) mounted on the Cassegrain focus of the IRSF 1.4 m telescope at the South African Astronomical Observatory. SIRIUS is a NIR imager capable of obtaining simultaneous images in the J, H, and K<sub>s</sub> bands. The instrument is equipped with three HAWAII arrays of 1024 by 1024 pixels. The pixel scale of 0.45" is an excellent match with the on-axis spatial resolution of Chandra. The authors covered 8.3 by 8.3 arcminute fields at two positions, one aimed at RCW 49 (10h24m01.9s, -57d 45' 31") and the other at a control region. This table was created by the HEASARC in October 2007 based on the versions of Tables 1, 2, and 3 from the paper which were obtained from the electronic ApJ website.

WISE Catalog ConeSearch
NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE; Wright et al. 2010) mapped the sky at 3.4, 4.6, 12, and 22 μm (W1, W2, W3, W4) in 2010 with an angular resolution of 6.1", 6.4", 6.5", and 12.0" in the four bands. WISE achieved 5σ point source sensitivities better than 0.08, 0.11, 1 and 6 mJy in unconfused regions on the ecliptic in the four bands. Sensitivity improves toward the ecliptic poles due to denser coverage and lower zodiacal background. The WISE All-Sky Release Source Catalog is mirrored at MAST and is thus available as a cone search.All available catalogs are listed at http://archive.stsci.edu/vo/mast_services.html.
Hipparcos Input Catalog
This database table contains the Hipparcos Input Main Cataloge of 118209 stars. The Hipparcos Input Catalogue was constructed as the observing program for the European Space Agency's Hipparcos astrometry mission. The requirements of the project in terms of completeness, sky coverage, astrometric and photometric accuracy, as well as the necessary optimization of the scientific impact, resulted in an extended effort to compile and homogenize existing data, to clarify sources and identifications, and, where needed, to collect new data matching the required accuracy. This has resulted in an unprecedented catalog of stellar data including up-to-date information of positions, proper motions, magnitudes and colors, and (wherever available) spectral types, radial velocities, multiplicity and variability information. The catalog is complete to well-defined magnitude limits and includes a substantial sampling of the most important stellar categories present in the solar neighborhood beyond these limits. The magnitudes vary from 7.3 to 9 mag as a function of galactic latitude and spectral type, and there are no stars fainter than about V=13 mag. The 118209 stars of the Hipparcos Input Catalogue were selected from some 214000 distinct candidates contained in some 214 observations programs. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .
GLIMPSE Cygnus-X Catalog
The Cygnus-X Catalog and Archive contain sources from longitudes l=76-82d extracted from data processed using the GLIMPSE pipeline. There are two types of source lists: a high reliability point source Catalog and a more complete point source Archive.
M 33 Chandra X-Ray Point Source Catalog
This database table contains a source list for three Chandra observations of the Local Group galaxy M 33. The observations were centered on the nucleus and on the star-forming region NGC 604. A total of 261 sources were detected in an area of about 0.2 square degrees down to a flux limit of 3 x 10<sup>-16</sup> erg/s/cm<sup>2</sup>, which corresponds to a luminosity of ~2 x 10<sup>34</sup> erg/s at a distance of 840 kpc. The luminosity functions of the X-ray sources observed in M 33 have been constructed and are consistent with those of other star-forming galaxies, taking into account background contamination. In addition, the combination of X-ray color analysis and the existence of "blue" optical counterparts strongly indicates that the X-ray point source population in M 33 consists of young objects. Above 3 x 10<sup>35</sup> erg/s, there are few X-ray sources in the locus of the X-ray hardness ratio diagram that is generally populated by low-mass X-ray binaries. Notice that each of the 261 X-ray sources in the source list has 3 entries in this table, one for each separate Chandra observation, making a total of 783 entries. The Chandra datasets from which this source list was compiled are available by <a href="/db-perl/W3Browse/w3query.pl?tablehead=name%3Dheasarc_chanmaster&sortvar=obsid&bparam_obsid=786%3B+1730%3B+2023">querying CHANMASTER for obsids 786, 1730, and 2023</a>.

NGC 2264 XMM-Newton X-Ray Point Source Catalog
This table contains (some of) the results from an X-ray imaging survey of the young cluster NGC 2264, carried out with the European Photon Imaging Cameras (EPIC) on board the XMM-Newton spacecraft. XMM-Newton EPIC observations were made separately of the northern and southern portions of NGC 2264 on 2001 March 20 and 2002 March 17 - 18, respectively. Details concerning the two pointings are summarized in Table 1 of the reference paper. The nominal integration time was 42 ks for both observations. The three EPIC cameras were operated in full window mode. To prevent contamination of the X-ray images by the XUV and EUV emission of the optically and UV-bright sources in the field of view, the thick filter was used, which imposes a strong cut-off in the response at the lower energies. The X-ray data are merged with extant optical and near-infrared photometry, spectral classifications, H-alpha emission strengths, and rotation periods to examine the interrelationships between coronal and chromospheric activity, rotation, stellar mass, and internal structure for a statistically significant sample of pre-main-sequence stars. Out of the 316 distinct point-like sources that were detected at >= 3-sigma levels in one or more of six EPIC images, a total of 300 distinct X-ray sources can be identified with optical or near-infrared counterparts. The sources are concentrated within three regions of the cluster: in the vicinity of S Mon, within the large emission/reflection nebulosity southwest of S Mon, and along the broad ridge of molecular gas that extends from the Cone Nebula to the NGC 2264 IRS 2 field. From the extinction-corrected color-magnitude diagram of the cluster, ages and masses for the optically identified X-ray sources are derived. A median age of ~ 2.5 Myr and an apparent age dispersion of ~ 5 Myr are suggested by pre-main-sequence evolutionary models. The X-ray luminosity of the detected sources appears well-correlated with bolometric luminosity, although there is considerable scatter in the relationship. Stellar mass contributes significantly to this dispersion, while isochronal age and rotation do not. X-ray luminosity and mass are well correlated such that L<sub>X</sub> ~ (M/M<sub>solar</sub>)<sup>1.5</sup>, which is similar to the relationship found within the younger Orion Nebula Cluster. No strong evidence is found for a correlation between E(H-K), the near-infrared color excess, and the fractional X-ray luminosity, which suggests that optically thick dust disks have little direct influence on the observed X-ray activity levels. Among the X-ray-detected weak-line T Tauri stars, the fractional X-ray luminosity, L<sub>X</sub>/L<sub>bol</sub>, is moderately well correlated with the fractional H-alpha luminosity, L<sub>H(alpha)</sub>/L<sub>bol</sub>, but only at the 2-sigma level of significance. The cumulative distribution functions for the X-ray luminosities of the X-ray-detected classical and weak-line T Tauri stars within the cluster are comparable, assuming the demarcation between the two classes is at an H-alpha equivalent width of 10 Angstroms. However, if the non-detections in X-rays for the entire sample of H-alpha emitters known within the cluster are taken into account, then the cumulative distribution functions of these two groups are clearly different, such that classical T Tauri stars are underdetected by at least a factor of 2 relative to the weak-line T Tauri stars. Examining a small subsample of X-ray-detected stars that are probable accretors based on the presence of strong H-alpha emission and near-infrared excess, the authors conclude that definitive non-accretors are ~ 1.6 times more X-ray luminous than their accreting counterparts. In agreement with earlier published findings for the Orion Nebula Cluster, the authors find a slight positive correlation (valid at the 2-sigma confidence level) between L<sub>X</sub>/L<sub>bol</sub> and the rotation period in NGC 2264 stars. The lack of a strong anti-correlation between X-ray activity and rotation period in the stellar population of NGC 2264 suggests that either the deeply convective T Tauri stars are rotationally saturated or that the physical mechanism responsible for generating magnetic fields in pre-main-sequence stars is distinct from the one that operates in evolved main-sequence stars.

Australia Telescope Low-Brightness Survey Source Catalog
The Australia Telescope Low-brightness Survey (ATLBS) regions have been mosaic imaged at a radio frequency of 1.4 GHz with 6 arcseconds angular resolution and 72 microJansky per beam (µJy/beam) rms noise. The images (centered at RA 00<sup>h</sup> 35<sup>m</sup> 00<sup>s</sup>, Dec -67<sup>o</sup> 00' 00" and RA 00<sup>h</sup> 59<sup>m</sup> 17<sup>s</sup>, Dec -67<sup>o</sup> 00' 00", J2000 epoch) cover 8.42 deg<sup>2</sup> sky area and have no artifacts or imaging errors above the image thermal noise. Multi-resolution radio and optical r-band images (made using the 4 m CTIO Blanco telescope) were used to recognize multi-component sources and prepare a source list of 1366 1.4-GHZ sources; the detection threshold was 0.38 mJy in a low-resolution radio image made with beam FWHM of 50 arcseconds. Radio source counts in the flux density range 0.4-8.7 mJy are estimated, with corrections applied for noise bias, effective area correction, and resolution bias. The resolution bias is mitigated using low-resolution radio images, while effects of source confusion are removed by using high-resolution images for identifying blended sources. Below 1 mJy the ATLBS counts are systematically lower than the previous estimates. Showing no evidence for an upturn down to 0.4 mJy, they do not require any changes in the radio source population down to the limit of the survey. The work suggests that automated image analysis for counts may be dependent on the ability of the imaging to reproduce connecting emission with low surface brightness and on the ability of the algorithm to recognize sources, which may require that source finding algorithms effectively work with multi-resolution and multi-wavelength data. The work underscores the importance of using source lists - as opposed to component lists - and correcting for the noise bias in order to precisely estimate counts close to the image noise and determine the upturn at sub-mJy flux density.

Spitzer Survey of Orion A and B Molecular Clouds YSOs Catalog
This table contains results from a survey of the Orion A and B molecular clouds undertaken with the IRAC and MIPS instruments on board Spitzer. In total, five distinct fields were mapped, covering 9 deg<sup>2</sup> in five mid-IR bands spanning 3 - 24 microns (µm). The survey includes the Orion Nebula Cluster, the Lynds 1641, 1630, and 1622 dark clouds, and the NGC 2023, 2024, 2068, and 2071 nebulae. These data are merged with the Two Micron All Sky Survey point source catalog to generate a catalog of eight-band photometry. The authors identify 3479 dusty young stellar objects (YSOs) in the Orion molecular clouds by searching for point sources with mid-IR colors indicative of reprocessed light from dusty disks or in-falling envelopes. The YSOs are subsequently classified on the basis of their mid-IR colors and their spatial distributions are presented. The authors classify 2991 of the YSOs as pre-main-sequence stars with disks and 488 as likely protostars. Most of the sources were observed with IRAC in two to three epochs over six months; the authors search for variability between the epochs by looking for correlated variability in the 3.6 and 4.5 um bands. They find that 50% of the dusty YSOs show variability. The variations are typically small (~ 0.2 mag) with the protostars showing a higher incidence of variability and larger variations. The observed correlations between the 3.6, 4.5, 5.8, and 8 um variability suggests that we are observing variations in the heating of the inner disk due to changes in the accretion luminosity or rotating accretion hot spots.

Chandra Nearby Spiral Galaxies Point Source Catalog
Emission from discrete point sources dominates the X-ray luminosity in spiral galaxies. This table contains the results from a survey of 11 nearby, nearly face-on spiral galaxies observed with the Chandra X-ray Observatory in 22 observations for a total of 869 ks. The galaxies in this sample are at high Galactic latitude to minimize the absorbing column in the line of site, are nearby to minimize source confusion, and span the Hubble sequence for spirals (types 0-7), allowing insights into the X-ray source population of many diverse systems. More than 820 unique point sources are detected in at least one observation within the D25 ellipses of the galaxies. A minimum of 27% of the sources exhibit detectable long- or short-term variability, indicating a source population dominated by accreting XRBs. 17 ultraluminous X-ray sources are detected, with typical rates per galaxy of 1 or 2. In this table, source lists for the 11 galaxies are presented, along with source counts, fluxes, luminosities, X-ray colors, and variability properties. It should be noted that the X-ray source counts presented in this table are raw, background-subtracted counts, so the count rates in sources from the same galaxy that fall on different CCDs cannot be directly compared. The colors presented have been corrected for the differences between front-illuminated and back-illuminated CCDs. This table was created by the HEASARC in November 2006 based on the electronic version of Table 4 obtained from the electronic ApJ web site. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .
