RCW 38 Chandra X-Ray Point Source Catalog
This table contains the results of a 96.7-ks Chandra observation of one of the youngest, most embedded, and most massive young stellar clusters studied to this date in X-rays, namely the embedded young cluster, RCW 38. 460 X-ray sources were detected in the field, of which 360 are confirmed to be associated with the RCW 38 cluster. The cluster members range in luminosity from 10<sup>30</sup> to 10<sup>33.5</sup> erg/s. Over 10% of the cluster members with over 100 counts were found to exhibit flares, while about 15% of the cluster members with over 30 counts were variable. Of the sources identified as cluster members, 160 have near-infrared (NIR) counterparts either in the Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS) database or which were detected via Very Large Telescope observations. Of these, about 20% appear to have optically thick disks. An additional 353 cluster members were identified through NIR observations, of which at least 50% possess optically thick disks. Over 100 X-ray sources were fit as absorbed Raymond-Smith-type plasmas and the authors found that the column to the cluster members varies from 10<sup>21.5</sup> to 10<sup>23</sup> cm<sup>-2</sup>. Comparing the gas to dust absorption signatures in these stars they found N<sub>H</sub> = A<sub>V</sub> (2 x 10<sup>21</sup>) cm<sup>-2</sup>. They also found that the cluster contains 31 candidate OB stars and is centered about 10" (0.1 pc) west of the primary source of its ionization, the O5 star IRS 2. The cluster has a peak central density of about 400 X-ray sources pc<sup>-2</sup>. The authors estimate that the total cluster membership exceeds 2000 stars. The Chandra observation of RCW 38 took place on 2001 December 10-11 and lasted 96.7 ks. It used Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer (ACIS) chips 0, 1, 2, 3, 6 and 7 in very faint mode. The combined field of view (FOV) of the 4 chips in the imaging array (0-3, ACIS-I) is 16.9' x 16.9'. The aimpoint of the array was 8 59 19.20, -47 30 22.0 (J2000.0), and Chandra's roll angle was 51 degrees. The source detection algorithm PWDetect was run on the cleaned events list across the entire ACIS-I array, and found 460 sources, including 31 sources with more than 200 net counts, 49 sources with 100-200 net counts, 71 sources with 50-100 net counts, and 78 sources with 20-50 net counts. NIR matches were found for 349 of the 460 X-ray sources, including 294 of the 360 cluster members and 55 of the 100 nonmembers. This table was created by the HEASARC in February 2007 based on the merger of Tables 1, 10 and 11 from the reference paper which were obtained from the AJ website. It does not include the results from either the quartile analysis of the sources which were presented in Tables 2 and 3 or of the spectral analysis of some of the sources which were presented in Tables 5 through 9 of the reference paper.

W 40 Star-Forming Region Chandra X-Ray Point Source Catalog
The young stellar cluster illuminating the W40 H II region, one of the nearest massive star-forming regions (SFRs), has been observed with the ACIS detector on board the Chandra X-ray Observatory. Due to its high obscuration, this is a poorly studied stellar cluster with only a handful of bright stars visible in the optical band, including three OB stars identified as primary excitation sources. The authors detect 225 X-ray sources, of which 85% are confidently identified as young stellar members of the region. Two potential distances of the cluster, 260 pc and 600 pc, are used in the paper. Supposing the X-ray luminosity function of SFRs to be universal, it supports a 600 pc distance as a lower limit for W40 and a total population of at least 600 stars down to 0.1 M<sub>sun</sub> under the assumption of a coeval population with a uniform obscuration. In fact, there is strong spatial variation in K<sub>s</sub>-band-excess disk fraction and non-uniform obscuration due to a dust lane that is identified in absorption in optical, infrared, and X-ray. The dust lane is likely part of a ring of material which includes the molecular core within W40. In contrast to the likely ongoing star formation in the dust lane, the molecular core is inactive. The star cluster has a spherical morphology, an isothermal sphere density profile, and mass segregation down to 1.5 M<sub>sun</sub>. However, other cluster properties, including a <= 1 Myr age estimate and ongoing star formation, indicate that the cluster is not dynamically relaxed. X-ray diffuse emission and a powerful flare from a young stellar object are also reported in the reference paper. This table was created by the HEASARC in March 2011 based on electronic versions of Tables, 1, 2 and 4 of the reference paper which were obtained from the ApJ web site.

SnowEx20 Boise State University Raw Terrestrial Laser Scanner (TLS) Point Cloud V001
This data set contains raw, unprocessed terrestrial laser scanner (TLS) point cloud data collected as part of the 2020 SnowEx campaign in Grand Mesa, Colorado. Data were collected under both snow-off (September 2019) and snow-on (February 2020) conditions, at both open and forested locations. Multiple scans were conducted at each site and registered together using common targets. Each point contains X, Y, and Z coordinates (Easting, Northing, and Elevation), as well as intensity (i). A processed version of this data set can be found here: https://doi.org/10.5067/F0M99WK7JW4X.
Point Sources from a Spitzer/IRAC Survey of the Galactic Center
Spitzer/IRAC observations of the central 2.0 deg by 1.4 deg (~ 280 pc by 200 pc) of the Galaxy were obtained at 3.6-8.0 microns in Cycle 1 (GO 3677, PI: Stolovy). These data represent the highest spatial resolution (~2 arcsec) and sensitivity uniform large-scale map made to date of the Galactic Center at mid-infrared wavelengths.A point source catalog of 1,065,565 objects was obtained. The catalog includes magnitudes for the point sources at 3.6, 4.5, 5.8, and 8.0 microns, as well as JHK photometry from 2MASS. The point source catalog is confusion limited with average limits of 12.4, 12.1, 11.7, and 11.2 magnitudes for [3.6], [4.5], [5.8], and [8.0], respectively. The confusion limits are spatially variable because of stellar surface density, background surface brightness level, and extinction variations across the survey region. More details about the point source catalog can be found at Ramirez et al. 2008.

LAT 1-year Point Source Catalog
The Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope (Fermi) Large Area Telescope (LAT) is a successor to EGRET, with greatly improved sensitivity, resolution, and energy range. This web page presents the first full catalog of LAT sources, based on the first eleven months of survey data. For a full explanation about the catalog and its construction see the LAT 1-year Catalog Paper.
Omega Centauri XMM-Newton X-Ray Point Source Catalog
Omega Centauri (NGC 5139) is one of the best studied objects in our galaxy. It is the most massive globular cluster (5.1 x 10<sup>6</sup> solar masses), and is characterized by large core and half mass radii (154.88 and 250.8 arcseconds, respectively (Harris 1996, AJ, 112, 1487). The authors observed Omega Cen with XMM-Newton on August 13th, 2001. The observation lasted 37 ks and was performed with the medium filter. The authors detected 11 and 27 faint X-ray sources in the core and half mass radii, respectively, searching down to a luminosity of 1.3 x 10<sup>31</sup> ergs s<sup>-1</sup> in the 0.5 - 5 keV range (for an assumed distance to Omega Cen of 5.3 kpc). Most sources have bolometric X-ray luminosities between ~ 10<sup>31</sup> - 10<sup>32</sup> ergs s<sup>-1</sup>. The bulk of sources are hard and spectrally similar to CVs. The lack of soft faint sources might be related to the absence of millisecond pulsars in the cluster. The XMM-Newton observations reveal the presence of an excess of sources well outside the core of the cluster where several RS CVn binaries have already been found. The authors also analyzed a publicly available Chandra ACIS-I observation performed on January 24 - 25th, 2000, to improve the XMM-Newton source positions and to search for source intensity variations between the two data sets. 63 XMM-Newton sources have a Chandra counterpart, and 15 sources within the half-mass radius have shown time variability. Overall, the general properties of the faint X-ray sources in omega Cen suggest that they are predominantly CVs and active binaries (RS CVn or BY Dra). This table lists all 146 X-ray sources detected in the XMM-Newton observation above a maximum likelihood threshold in the 0.5 - 5 keV band of 12, including the 27 sources within the half-mass radius (listed in Table 1 of the reference paper), and the 119 sources outside the half-mass radius (listed in Table 2 of the reference paper). About 9 of the 27 sources within the half-mass radius are expected to be background sources, as are ~ 65 of the sources within 12.5 arcminutes of the cluster center, i.e., a significant fraction of the 146 total observed X-ray sources. For each XMM-Newton source, its position, count rate, correlation with previous X-ray observation, and their associated errors are given. The detailed spectral information given in Table 5 of the reference paper for 17 selected X-ray sources is however not included in this HEASARC table. This table was created by the HEASARC in May 2007 based on <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/A+A/400/521">CDS catalog J/A+A/400/521</a> files table1.dat, table2.dat and table3.dat.

Lambda Orionis Cluster XMM-Newton X-Ray Point Source Catalog
The authors studied the X-ray properties of the young (~1-8M yr) open cluster around the hot (O8 III) star Lambda Ori and compared them with those of the similarly-aged Sigma Ori cluster in order to investigate the possible effects of the different ambient environments. They analyzed an XMM-Newton observation of the cluster using EPIC imaging and low-resolution spectral data. They studied the variability of the detected sources, and performed a spectral analysis of the brightest sources in the field using multi-temperature models. The authors detected 167 X-ray sources above a 5-sigma detection threshold the properties of which are listed in this table, of which 58 are identified with known cluster members and candidates, from massive stars down to low-mass stars with spectral types of ~ M5.5. Another 23 sources were identified with new possible photometric candidates. Late-type stars have a median log L<sub>X</sub>/L<sub>bol</sub> ~ -3.3, close to the saturation limit. Variability was observed in ~ 35% of late-type members or candidates, including six flaring sources. The emission from the central hot star Lambda Ori is dominated by plasma at 0.2 - 0.3 keV, with a weaker component at 0.7 keV, consistent with a wind origin. The coronae of late-type stars can be described by two plasma components with temperatures T<sub>1</sub> ~ 0.3-0.8 keV and T<sub>2</sub> ~ 0.8-3 keV, and subsolar abundances Z ~ 0.1-0.3 Z<sub>sun</sub>, similar to what is found in other star-forming regions and associations. No significant difference was observed between stars with and without circumstellar discs, although the smallness of the sample of stars with discs and accretion does not definitive conclusions to be drawn. The authors concluded that the X-ray properties of Lambda Ori late-type stars are comparable to those of the coeval Sigma Ori cluster, suggesting that stellar activity in Lambda Ori has not been significantly affected by the different ambient environment. The lambda Ori cluster was observed by XMM-Newton from 20:46 UT on September 28, 2006 to 12:23 UT on September 29, 2006 (Obs. ID 0402050101), for a total duration of 56ks, using both the EPIC MOS and PN cameras and the RGS instruments. The EPIC cameras were operated in full frame mode with the thick filter. This table was created by the HEASARC in November 2011 based on <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/A+A/530/A150">CDS Catalog J/A+A/530/A150</a> files tablea1.dat ('X-ray sources detected in the Lambda Ori Cluster'), table1,dat ('X-ray and optical properties of sources identified with known cluster members and candidates') and table2.dat ('X-ray sources identified with possible new cluster candidates').

Galactic Center Chandra X-Ray Point Source Catalog
This table contains a catalog of 9017 X-ray sources identified in Chandra observations of a 2 degrees by 0.8 degrees field around the Galactic center. This enlarges the number of known X-ray sources in the region by a factor of 2.5. The catalog incorporates all of the ACIS-I observations as of 2007 August, which total 2.25 Ms of exposure. At the distance to the Galactic center (8 kpc), we are sensitive to sources with luminosities of 4 x 10<sup>32</sup> erg s<sup>-1</sup> (0.5-8.0 keV; 90% confidence) over an area of 1 degree<sup>2</sup>, and up to an order of magnitude more sensitive in the deepest exposure (1.0 Ms) around Sgr A*. The positions of 60% of the sources are accurate to <1 arcsecond (95% confidence), and 20% have positions accurate to <0.5 arcsec. The authors search for variable sources, and find that 3% exhibit flux variations within an observation, and 10% exhibit variations from observation-to-observation. They also find one source, CXOUGC J174622.7-285218, with a periodic 1745 s signal (1.4% chance probability), which is probably a magnetically accreting cataclysmic variable. The authors compare the spatial distribution of X-ray sources to a model for the stellar distribution, and find 2.8 sigma evidence for excesses in the numbers of X-ray sources in the region of recent star formation encompassed by the Arches, Quintuplet, and Galactic center star clusters. These excess sources are also seen in the luminosity distribution of the X-ray sources, which is flatter near the Arches and Quintuplet than elsewhere in the field. These excess point sources, along with a similar longitudinal asymmetry in the distribution of diffuse iron emission that has been reported by other authors, probably have their origin in the young stars that are prominent at a galactic lonitude ~ 0.1 degrees. This tables was designed to be inclusive, so sources of questionable quality are included, according to the authors. For instance, 134 sources have net numbers of counts in the 0.5-8.0 keV band that are consistent with 0 at the 90% confidence level. These sources are only detected in a single band and are presumably either very hard or very soft, detected in single observations because they were transients, or detected in stacked observations with wvdecomp at marginal significance. The authors have chosen to include them because they passed the test based on Poisson statistics from Weisskopf et al. (2007, ApJ, 657, 1026). The observations which were used to generate the source list herein tabulated are listed in Table 1 of the reference paper. This HEASARC table GALCENCXO supercedes and replaces the previous HEASARC tables CHANGALCEN and CHANC150PC, which were based on Muno et al. (2003, ApJ, 589, 225) and Muno et al. (2006, ApJS, 165, 173), respectively. This table was created by the HEASARC in March 2009 based on the machine-readable versions of Table 2, 3 and 4 from the paper which were obtained from the electronic ApJ website. The information on short-term variability given in Table 5 of the reference paper was not included in this HEASARC table, notice. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .
M 31 Bulge Chandra X-Ray Point Source Catalog
The authors explore the population of X-ray point sources in the bulge of M 31 so as to contrast properties of various subpopulations, such as persistent and transient sources and primordial LMXBs and dynamically formed ones. Based on the data from 26 archival Chandra ACIS observations with aim-points within 10 arcminutes of the center of M 31 (J2000 coordinates of 00:42:44.31, +41:16:09.4), the authors study the source content and properties of various subpopulations of X-ray sources to a maximum distance of 12 arcminutes from the center of M 31. To a limiting luminosity of ~10<sup>35</sup> erg s<sup>-1</sup>, the authors find 263 X-ray point sources, with ~1/3 of these being background galaxies. A study of the spatial distribution and the luminosity function of the X-ray sources shows that the distribution of primordial LMXBs is consistent with the distribution of the K-band light and that their luminosity function flattens below ~10<sup>37</sup> erg s<sup>-1</sup> to the dN/dL ~ L<sup>-1</sup> law in agreement with the behavior found earlier for LMXBs in the Milky Way and in Cen A. Within a radius of 12 arcminutes, the luminosity function is independent of distance to the center of M 31, in contrast to earlier Chandra studies. The LMXBs located in globular clusters and within ~1 arcminute from the center of M 31 are presumably created via dynamical interactions. The dynamical origin of the r < 1 arcminute sources is strongly suggested by their radial distribution which follows the rho<sub>*</sub><sup>2</sup> profile rather than the K-band light distribution. Their luminosity function shows a prominent fall-off below log(L<sub>X</sub>) <~ 36.5. Although the statistics are insufficient to claim a genuine low-luminosity cut-off in the luminosity function, the best fit power-law with a slope of -0.6 +/- 0.2 is significantly flatter than the dN/dL ~ L<sup>-1</sup> law. The authors also searched for transients and found 28 sources that varied by a factor larger than 20. Their spatial distribution follows the distribution of the persistent LMXBs within the accuracy allowed by the limited number of transients.

M 83 XMM-Newton X-Ray Point Source Catalog
This database table contains results obtained from the analysis of three XMM-Newton observations of the grand-design barred spiral galaxy M 83. The aims of this study were to study the X-ray source populations in M 83 and to calculate the X-ray luminosity functions of X-ray binaries for different regions of the galaxy. The authors detected 189 sources in the XMM-Newton field of view in the energy range of 0.2-12 keV. They constrained their nature by means of spectral analysis, hardness ratios, studies of the X-ray variability, and cross-correlations with catalogs in X-ray, optical, infrared, and radio wavelengths. The authors identified and classified 12 background objects, five foreground stars, two X-ray binaries, one supernova remnant candidate, one super-soft source candidate and one ultra-luminous X-ray source. Among these sources, they classified for the first time three active galactic nuclei (AGN) candidates. the authors derived X-ray luminosity functions for the X-ray sources in M 83 in the 2-10 keV energy range, within and outside the D<sub>25</sub> ellipse, correcting the total X-ray luminosity function for incompleteness and subtracting the AGN contribution. The X-ray luminosity function inside the D25 ellipse is consistent with that previously observed by Chandra. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test shows that the X-ray luminosity function of the outer disc and the AGN luminosity distribution are uncorrelated with a probability of ~99.3%. The authors also found that the X-ray sources detected outside the D<sub>25</sub> ellipse and the uniform spatial distribution of AGNs are spatially uncorrelated with a significance of 99.5%. They interpret these results as an indication that part of the observed X-ray sources are X-ray binaries in the outer disc of M 83. The authors analyzed the public archival XMM-Newton data of M 83 (PIs: Watson, Kuntz). Three observations were analyzed, one pointing at the center of the galaxy (obs.1) and two in the south, which covered the outer arms with a young population of stars discovered with GALEX. The details of these observations are given in Table 1 of the reference paper (summarized below): <pre> EPIC EPIC EPIC No ObsID Date RA DE PN MOS1 MOS2 Mode F Texp F Texp F Texp PN MOS 1 0110910201 2003-01-27 13:37:05.16 -29:51:46.1 t 21.2 m 24.6 m 24.6 EFF FF 2 0503230101 2008-01-16 13:37:01.09 -30:03:49.9 m 15.4 m 19.0 m 19.0 EFF FF 3 0552080101 2008-08-16 13:36:50.87 -30:03:55.2 m 25.0 m 28.8 m 28.8 EFF FF </pre> where F is the filter (t for thin, m for medium), T<sub>exp</sub> is the exposure time in ks, EFF = extended full frame imaging mode, and FF = full frame imaging mode.

SAS-3 Y-Axis Pointed Obs Log
This database is the Third Small Astronomy Satellite (SAS-3) Y-Axis Pointed Observation Log. It identifies possible pointed observations of celestial X-ray sources which were performed with the y-axis detectors of the SAS-3 X-Ray Observatory. This log was compiled (by R. Kelley, P. Goetz and L. Petro) from notes made at the time of the observations and it is expected that it is neither complete nor fully accurate. Possible errors in the log are (i) the misclassification of an observation as a pointed observation when it was either a spinning or dither observation and (ii) inaccuracy of the dates and times of the start and end of an observation. In addition, as described in the HEASARC_Updates section, the HEASARC added some additional information when creating this database. Further information about the SAS-3 detectors and their fields of view can be found at: <a href="http://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/sas3/sas3_about.html">http://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/sas3/sas3_about.html</a> Disclaimer: The HEASARC is aware of certain inconsistencies between the Start_date, End_date, and Duration fields for a number of rows in this database table. They appear to be errors present in the original table. Except for one entry where the HEASARC corrected an error where there was a near-certainty which parameter was incorrect (as noted in the 'HEASARC_Updates' section of this documentation), these inconsistencies have been left as they were in the original table. This database table was released by the HEASARC in June 2000, based on the SAS-3 Y-Axis pointed Observation Log (available from the NSSDC as dataset ID 75-037A-02B), together with some additional information provided by the HEASARC itself.

WMAP Nine-Year CMB-Free QVW Point Source Catalog
The Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) is designed to produce all-sky maps of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropy. The WMAP 9-Year CMB-Free Point Source Catalog contained herein has information on 502 point sources in three frequency bands (41, 61 and 94 GHz, also known as the Q, V, and W bands, respectively) based on data from the entire 9 years of the WMAP sky survey from 10 Aug 2001 0:00 UT to 10 Aug 2010 0:00 UT, inclusive. The CMB-free method of point source identification was originally applied to one-year and three-year V- and W-band maps by Chen & Wright (2008, ApJ, 681, 747) and to five-year V- and W-band maps by Wright et al. (2009, ApJS, 180, 283). The method used here is that applied to five-year Q-, V-, and W-band maps by Chen & Wright (2009, ApJ, 694, 222) and to seven-year Q-, V-, and W-band maps by Gold et al. (2011, ApJS, 192, 15). The V- and W-band maps are smoothed to Q-band resolution. An internal linear combination (ILC) map (see Section 5.3.3 of the reference paper) is then formed from the three maps using weights such that CMB fluctuations are removed, flat-spectrum point sources are retained with fluxes normalized to Q-band, and the variance of the ILC map is minimized. The ILC map is filtered to reduce noise and suppress large angular scale structure. Peaks in the filtered map that are > 5 sigma and outside of the nine-year point source catalog mask are identified as point sources, and source positions are obtained by fitting the beam profile plus a baseline to the filtered map for each source. For the nine- year analysis, the position of the brightest pixel is adopted instead of the fit position in rare instances where they differ by > 0.1 degrees. Source fluxes are estimated by integrating the Q, V, and W temperature maps within 1.25 degrees of each source position, with a weighting function to enhance the contrast of the point source relative to background fluctuations, and applying a correction for Eddington bias due to noise (sometimes called "deboosting"). The authors identify possible 5-GHz counterparts to the WMAP sources found by cross-correlating with the GB6 (Gregory et al. 1996, ApJS, 103, 427), PMN (Griffith et al. 1994, ApJS, 90, 179; Griffith et al. 1995, ApJS, 97, 347; Wright et al. 1994, ApJS, 94, 111; Wright et al. 1996, ApJS, 103, 145), Kuehr et al. (1981, A&AS, 45, 367), and Healey et al. (2009, AJ, 138, 1032) catalogs. A 5-GHz source is identified as a counterpart if it lies within 11 arcminutes of the WMAP source position (the mean WMAP source position uncertainty is 4 arcminutes). When two or more 5 GHz sources are within 11 arcminutes, the brightest is assumed to be the counterpart and a multiple identification flag is entered in the catalog. A separate 9-year Point Source Catalog (available in Browse as the <a href="/W3Browse/wmap/wmapptsrc.html">WMAPPTSRC</a> table) has information on 501 point sources in five frequency bands from 23 to 94 GHz that were found using an alternative method. The two catalogs have 387 sources in common. As noted by Gold et al. (2011, ApJS, 192, 15), differences in the source populations detected by the two search methods are largely caused by Eddington bias in the five-band source detections due to CMB fluctuations and noise. At low flux levels, the five-band method tends to detect point sources located on positive CMB fluctuations and to overestimate their fluxes, and it tends to miss sources located in negative CMB fluctuations. Other point source detection methods have been applied to WMAP data and have identified sources not found by our methods (e.g., Scodeller et al. (2012, ApJ, 753, 27); Lanz (2012, ADASS 7); Ramos et al. (2011, A&A, 528, A75), and references therein). For more details of how the point source catalogs were constructed, see Section 5.2.2 of the reference paper. This table was last updated by the HEASARC in January 2013 based on an electronic version of Table 19 from the reference paper which was obtained from the LAMBDA web site, the file <a href="http://lambda.gsfc.nasa.gov/data/map/dr5/dfp/ptsrc/wmap_ptsrc_catalog_cmb_free_9yr_v5.txt">http://lambda.gsfc.nasa.gov/data/map/dr5/dfp/ptsrc/wmap_ptsrc_catalog_cmb_free_9yr_v5.txt</a>.

AEGIS-X Deep Survey Chandra X-Ray Point Source Catalog
This table is based on the results of deep Chandra imaging of the central region of the Extended Groth Strip, the AEGIS-X Deep (AEGIS-XD) survey. When combined with previous Chandra observations of a wider area of the strip, AEGIS-X Wide (AEGIS-XW), these provide data to a nominal exposure depth of 800ks in the three central ACIS-I fields, a region of approximately 0.29 deg<sup>2</sup>. This is currently the third deepest X-ray survey in existence; a factor ~2-3 shallower than the Chandra Deep Fields (CDFs), but over an area ~3 times greater than each CDF. This table contains a catalog of 937 point sources detected in the deep Chandra observations, along with identifications of the X-ray sources from deep ground-based, Spitzer, GALEX, and Hubble Space Telescope imaging. Using a likelihood ratio analysis, the authors associate multiband counterparts for 929/937 of their X-ray sources, with an estimated 95% reliability,making the identification completeness approximately 94% in a statistical sense. Reliable spectroscopic redshifts for 353 of the X-ray sources are available predominantly from Keck (DEEP2/3) and MMT Hectospec, so the current spectroscopic completeness is ~38%. For the remainder of the X-ray sources, the authors compute photometric redshifts based on multiband photometry in up to 35 bands from the UV to mid-IR. Particular attention is given to the fact that the vast majority of the X-ray sources are active galactic nuclei and require hybrid templates. The photometric redshifts have a mean accuracy sigma = 0.04 and an outlier fraction of approximately 5%, reaching sigma = 0.03 with less than 4% outliers in the area covered by CANDELS. The new AEGIS-XD Chandra data were taken at three nominal pointing positions, which the authors have designated AEGIS-1, AEGIS-2, and AEGIS-3. These observations were all taken in the time period 2007 December 11 to 2009 June 26 using the ACIS-I instrument. The centers of the 3 AEGIS fields correspond fairly closely to those of the EGS-3, EGS-4, and EGS-5 fields of Laird et al. (2009, ApJS, 180, 102). The Rainbow Cosmological Surveys Database (<a href="http://rainbowx.fis.ucm.es/Rainbow_Database/Home.html">http://rainbowx.fis.ucm.es/Rainbow_Database/Home.html</a>; see Section 4 of the reference paper for more details) contains many multiwavelength photometric datasets giving information on optical and infrared sources in these fields. The characteristics of these datasets are given in Table 7 of the reference paper. This table was created by the HEASARC in February 2016 based on the <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/ApJS/220/10">CDS catalog J/ApJS/220/10</a> files table11.dat, table12.dat, table13.dat, table14.dat and table15.dat.

Faust Far-UV Point Source Catalog
This catalog contains a list of the photometric measurements of point sources made by the Far Ultraviolet Space Telescope (FAUST) when it flew on the ATLAS-1 space shuttle mission. The list contains 4660 galactic and extragalactic objects detected in 22 wide-field images of the sky (note that the abstract of the published catalog states that it contains 4698 sources: the reason for this discrepancy is not known to the HEASARC). At the locations surveyed, this catalog reaches a limiting magnitude that is approximately a factor of 10 fainter than the previous UV all-sky survey, TD1. The catalog limit is approximately 1x10<sup>-14</sup> ergs/s/cm<sup>2</sup>/Angstrom, although it is not complete to this level. Listed for each object is the position, Far-UV (FUV) flux, the error in this flux, and, where possible, an identification from catalogs of nearby stars and galaxies. These catalogs include the Michigan HD (MHD) and HD Catalogs, the SAO Catalog, the HIPPARCOS Input Catalog (HIC), the Position and Proper Motion (PPM) Catalog, the TD1 Catalog, the McCook and Sion Catalog of white dwarf stars, and the RC3 Catalog of Galaxies. 2239 FAUST sources are identified with objects in the stellar catalogs and 172 with galaxies in the RC3 catalog. The number of sources with incorrect identifications is estimated to be less than 2%. Of the 4660 FUV sources in this catalog, 161 have multiple stellar and/or galaxy counterparts (155 sources have 2 possible counterparts, 4 sources have 3 possible counterparts, 1 source has 4 possible counterparts, and 1 source has 6 possible counterparts), with the 4499 remaining FUV sources having 0 or 1 stellar and/or galaxy counterparts. Hence, there are a grand total of 4831 = (4499 + 155x2 + 4x3 + 1x4 + 1x6) entries in this database, since each entry corresponds to a source/counterpart combination. The HEASARC added a parameter 'multiple_ID' to allow the user to identify sources with multiple possible counterparts. FAUST Sources with multiple counterparts thus have multiple entries in this database, and can be recognized by having multiple_id values greater than 1 (and differing information in the parameter fields that contain the properties of the stellar and/or galaxy counterparts). This catalog was created at the HEASARC in September 1998 based on CDS/ADC Catalog J/ApJS/96/461. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .
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.

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.

Chandra ACIS Survey of Nearby Galaxies X-Ray Point Source Catalog
The Chandra data archive is a treasure trove for various studies, and in this study the author exploits this valuable resource to study the X-ray point source populations in nearby galaxies. By 2007 December 14, 383 galaxies within 40 Mpc with isophotal major axes above 1 arcminute had been observed by 626 public ACIS observations, most of which were for the first time analyzed by this survey to study the X-ray point sources. Uniform data analysis procedures were applied to the 626 ACIS observations and led to the detection of 28,099 point sources, which belong to 17,559 independent sources. These include 8700 sources observed twice or more and 1000 sources observed 10 times or more, providing a wealth of data to study the long-term variability of these X-ray sources. Cross-correlation of these sources with galaxy isophotes led to 8,519 sources within the D<sub>25</sub> isophotes of 351 galaxies, 3,305 sources between the D<sub>25</sub> and 2 * D<sub>25</sub> isophotes of 309 galaxies, and an additional 5,735 sources outside the 2 * D<sub>25</sub> isophotes of galaxies. This survey has produced a uniform catalog, by far the largest, of 11,824 X-ray point sources within 2 * D<sub>25</sub> isophotes of 380 galaxies. Contamination analysis using the log N-log S relation shows that 74% of the sources within the 2 * D<sub>25</sub> isophotes above 10<sup>39</sup> erg s<sup>-1</sup>, 71% of the sources above 10<sup>38</sup> erg s<sup>-1</sup>, 63% of the sources above 10<sup>37</sup> erg s<sup>-1</sup>, and 56% of all sources are truly associated with the galaxies. Meticulous efforts have identified 234 X-ray sources with galactic nuclei of nearby galaxies. This archival survey leads to 300 ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) with L<sub>X</sub> in the 0.3-8 keV band >= 2 x 10<sup>39</sup> erg s<sup>-1</sup> within the D<sub>25</sub> isophotes, 179 ULXs between the D<sub>25</sub> and the 2 * D<sub>25</sub> isophotes, and a total of 479 ULXs within 188 host galaxies, with about 324 ULXs truly associated with the host galaxies based on the contamination analysis. About 4% of the sources exhibited at least one supersoft phase, and 70 sources are classified as ultraluminous supersoft sources with L<sub>X</sub> (0.3-8 keV) >= 2 x 10<sup>38</sup> erg s<sup>-1</sup>. With a uniform data set and good statistics, this survey enables future works on various topics, such as X-ray luminosity functions for the ordinary X-ray binary populations in different types of galaxies, and X-ray properties of galactic nuclei. This table contains the list of 17,559 'independent' X-ray point sources that was contained in table 4 of the reference paper. As the author notes in Section 5 of this paper, there are 341 sources projected within 2 galaxies with overlapping domains which are listed for both galaxies. The 5,735 sources lieing outside the 2* D<sub>25</sub> isophotes of the galaxies are also included in this table. For these sources, the X-ray luminosities are computed as if they were in a galaxy of that group, which may or may not be the case; thus, they may not be their 'true' luminosities, but are listed for the purposes of comparison. This table was created by the HEASARC in March 2011 based on the electronic version of Table 4 of the reference paper which was obtained from the Astrophysical Journal web site. 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 .
Extended Chandra Deep Field-South X-Ray Point Source Catalog
The Extended Chandra Deep Field-South (ECDFS) survey consists of four Chandra X-Ray Observatory (CXO) ACIS-I pointings and covers ~1100 arcmin<sup>2</sup> (~0.3 deg<sup>2</sup>) centered on the original CDF-S field to a depth of approximately 228 ks. This is the largest Chandra survey ever conducted at such depth, and only one XMM-Newton survey reaches a lower flux limit in the hard 2.0-8.0 keV band. The authors detect 651 unique sources: 587 using a conservative source-detection threshold (identified by source_type = 'P' for primary source) and 64 (identified by source_type = 'S' for secondary source) using a lower source-detection threshold. These are combined in this HEASARC representation but were presented as two separate catalogs (Table 4 contained the primary sources, and Table 5 the secondary sources) in the original reference paper. Of the 651 total sources, 561 are detected in the full 0.5-8.0 keV band, 529 in the soft 0.5-2.0 keV band, and 335 in the hard 2.0-8.0 keV band. For point sources near the aim point, the limiting fluxes are approximately 1.7 x 10<sup>-16</sup> and 3.9 x 10<sup>-16</sup> ergs/cm<sup>2</sup>/s in the 0.5-2.0 and 2.0-8.0 keV bands, respectively. In their paper, the authors present the differential and cumulative flux distributions, which are in good agreement with the number counts from previous deep X-ray surveys and with the predictions from an active galactic nucleus (AGN) population synthesis model that can explain the X-ray background. In general, fainter sources have harder X-ray spectra, consistent with the hypothesis that these sources are mainly obscured AGNs. All nine observations of the ECDFS survey field were conducted with the Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer (ACIS) on board Chandra as part of the approved guest observer program in Cycle 5. Notice that Lehmer et al. (2005, ApJS, 161, 21) conducted a somewhat different analysis on these same data and obtained similar, but not identical results, e.g., Lehmer et al. found 809 total X-ray sources compared to 651 in the present table. This table was created by the HEASARC in April 2009 based on the electronic versions of Tables 4 and 5 from the paper which were obtained from the CDS (their catalog J/AJ/131/2373 files table4.dat and table5.dat).

IRAS Point Source Catalog, Version 2.0
The IRAS Point Source Catalog, Version 2.0, is a catalog of some 250,000 well-confirmed infrared point sources observed by the Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS), i.e., sources with angular extents less than approximately 0.5, 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 arcminutes in the in-scan direction at 12, 25, 60, and 100 microns (µm), respectively. Positions, flux densities, uncertainties, associations with known astronomical objects and various cautionary flags are given for each objectin the catalog. Away from confused regions of the sky, the survey is complete to about 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, and 1.0 Janskies (Jy) at 12, 25, 60, and 100 microns, respectively. Typical position uncertainties are about 2 to 6 arcseconds in the in-scan direction and about 8 to 16 arcseconds in the cross-scan direction. This online version of the IRASPSC was created by the HEASARC in April 2002 based on ADC/<a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/II/125">CDS Catalog II/125</a> (the main file).
