SDSS-IV/SPIDERS ROSAT-Based X-Ray Point Source Spectroscopic Catalog

This catalog aims to provide a detailed description of the SPectroscopic IDentification of ERosita Sources (SPIDERS) survey, an SDSS-IV program aimed at obtaining spectroscopic classification and redshift measurements for complete samples of sufficiently bright X-ray sources. The authors describe the SPIDERS X-Ray Point Source Spectroscopic Catalog, considering its store of 11,092 observed spectra drawn from a parent sample of 14,759 ROSAT and XMM sources over an area of 5,129 deg<sup>2</sup> covered in SDSS-IV by the eBOSS survey. This catalog presents the SPIDERS ROSAT subsample of 21,288 sources which were drawn from the Second ROSAT All-Sky Survey (2RXS), provided by the HEASARC in <a href="/W3Browse/rosat/rass2rxs.html">RASS2RXS</a>. The accompanying <a href="/W3Browse/xmm-newton/spidersxmm.html">SPIDERSXMM</a> table contains the 3,196 sources drawn from the XMM Slew Survey Source Catalog, version 2 (XMMSL2), provided by the HEASARC in <a href="/W3Browse/xmm-newton/xmmslewful.html">XMMSLEWFUL</a>. This program represents the largest systematic spectroscopic observation of an X-ray selected sample. A total of 10,970 (98.9%) of the observed objects are classified and 10,849 (97.8%) have secure redshifts. The majority of the spectra (10,070 objects) are active galactic nuclei (AGN), 522 are cluster galaxies, and 294 are stars. The SDSS-IV/BOSS spectrographic observations are taken between 2014 and 2019. This table was created by the HEASARC in May 2020 based upon the <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/A+A/636/A97">CDS Catalog J/A+A/636/A97</a> file vc2rxs.dat.

ROSAT All-Sky Survey and SDSS Sample of X-Ray Emitting Stars

The ROSAT All-Sky Survey (RASS) was the first imaging X-ray survey of the entire sky. Combining the RASS Bright and Faint Source Catalogs yields an average of about three X-ray sources per square degree. However, while X-ray source counterparts are known to range from distant quasars to nearby M dwarfs, the RASS data alone are often insufficient to determine the nature of an X-ray source. As a result, large-scale follow-up programs are required to construct samples of known X-ray emitters. The authors use optical data produced by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) to identify 709 stellar X-ray emitters cataloged in the RASS and falling within the SDSS Data Release 1 footprint. Most of these are bright stars with coronal X-ray emission unsuitable for SDSS spectroscopy, which is designed for fainter objects (g > 15<sup>mag</sup>). Instead, the authors use SDSS photometry, correlations with the Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS) and other catalogs, and spectroscopy from the Apache Point Observatory 3.5 m telescope to identify these stellar X-ray counterparts. Their sample of 707 X-ray-emitting F, G, K, and M stars is one of the largest X-ray-selected samples of such stars. The authors derive distances to these stars using photometric parallax relations appropriate for dwarfs on the main sequence, and use these distances to calculate their X-ray luminosities L<sub>X</sub>. They also identify a previously unknown cataclysmic variable (CV) as a RASS counterpart. 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>. This table was created by the HEASARC in April 2009 based on the the machine-readable version of Table 4 from the reference paper which was obtained from the ApJ web site.

Spitzer Extragalactic First Look Survey SDSS and MIPS Astrometric and Photometric 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. This catalog presents the SDSS and MIPS photometry from Papovich et al. (2006).

VLA SDSS Stripe 82 Survey 1.4-GHz Source Catalog

This table contains results from a high-resolution radio survey of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Southern Equatorial Stripe, also known as Stripe 82. This 1.4-GHz survey was conducted with the Very Large Array (VLA) primarily in the A configuration, with supplemental B configuration data to increase sensitivity to extended structure. The survey has an angular resolution of 1.8 arcseconds and achieves a median rms noise of 52 µJy/beam (µJy/beam) over 92 deg<sup>2</sup>. This is the deepest 1.4-GHz survey to achieve this large of an area, filling a gap in the phase space between small, deep and large, shallow surveys. It also serves as a pilot project for a larger high-resolution survey with the Expanded Very Large Array (EVLA). The authors discuss the technical design of the survey and details of the observations, and outline their method for data reduction, in the reference paper. They present a catalog of 17,969 isolated radio components, for an overall source density of ~195 sources deg<sup>-2</sup>. The astrometric accuracy of the data is excellent, with an internal check utilizing multiply observed sources yielding an rms scatter of 0.19 arcseconds in both Right Ascension and Declination. A comparison to the SDSS DR7 Quasar Catalog further confirms that the astrometry is well-tied to the optical reference frame, with mean offsets of 0.02" +/- 0.01" in Right Ascension, and 0.01" +/- 0.02" in Declination. A check of their photometry reveals a small, negative CLEAN-like bias on the level of 35 uJy. The authors report on the catalog completeness, finding that 97% of FIRST-detected quasars are recovered in the new Stripe 82 radio catalog, while faint, extended sources are more likely to be resolved out by the resolution bias. In their paper, they conclude with a discussion of the optical counterparts to the catalog sources, including 76 newly detected radio quasars. The full catalog as well as a search page and cutout server are available online at <a href="http://third.ucllnl.org/cgi-bin/stripe82cutout">http://third.ucllnl.org/cgi-bin/stripe82cutout</a>. The SDSS Stripe 82 observations were made with the National Radio Astronomy Observatory's (NRAO's) VLA. The data were collected over two VLA cycles, 2007-2008 and 2008-2009. The majority of the observations were taken in the A configuration, but the authors also obtained B-configuration coverage of the area in order to improve the sampling of the Fourier (U-V) plane and to increase sensitivity to the extended structure. Area 1 (delineated in black in Figure 1(a) of the paper) was covered in the A and B configurations in 2007-2008, and Area 2 (delineated in purple in Figure 1(a) of the paper) in the A and B configurations in 2008-2009. Area 1 is made up of 275 pointings, and Area 2 has 374, coming to 649 fields, and 92 deg<sup>2</sup> covered in total. This table was created by the HEASARC in August 2013 based on a complete machine-readable version of Table 1 from the reference paper which was kindly provided by the first author.

SPECTRA OF V-TYPE CANDIDATES FROM THE SDSS MOC

These data are the results of a spectroscopic survey designed to target and detect asteroids whose photometric colors are similar to those of Vesta family members and thus may be considered as candidates for having a basaltic composition. The colors of these candidates were measured as part of the 3rd release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Moving Object Catalog (Ivezic et al. 2001) [IVEZICETAL2001]. These spectra were obtained with two visible wavelength instruments: the Echellete Spectrograph and Imager (ESI, Sheinis et al. 2002) [SHEINISETAL2002] on Keck II and the Supernova Integral Field Spectrograph (SNIFS, Lantz et al. 2004) [LANTZETAL2004] at the University of Hawaii 2.2m telescope. A subset of these data were published in Moskovitz et al. (2008a, 2008b) [MOSKOVITZETAL2008, MOSKOVITZETAL2008B].

SDSS NBCKDE Catalog of Photometrically Selected Quasar Candidates

This table contains a catalog of 1,015,082 quasar candidates selected from the photometric imaging data of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) using a non-parametric Bayesian classification kernel density estimator (NBC-KDE). It excludes 157,075 initial candidates that were culled as known or likely contaminants. The objects are all point sources to a limiting magnitude of i = 21.3 from 8417 deg<sup>2</sup> of imaging from SDSS Data Release 6 (DR6). This sample extends the previous catalog (Paper I: Richards et al. 2004, ApJS, 155, 257) by using the latest SDSS public release data and probing both ultraviolet (UV)-excess and high-redshift quasars. While the addition of high-redshift candidates reduces the overall efficiency (quasars:quasar candidates) of the catalog to ~80%, it is expected to contain no fewer than 850,000 bona fide quasars, which is ~8 times the number of the previous sample and ~10 times the size of the largest spectroscopic quasar catalog. Cross-matching between this photometric catalog and spectroscopic quasar catalogs from both the SDSS and 2dF survey yields 88,879 spectroscopically confirmed quasars. For judicious selection of the most robust UV-excess sources (~500,000 objects in all), the efficiency is nearly 97 - more than sufficient for detailed statistical analyses. The catalog's completeness to type 1 (broad-line) quasars is expected to be no worse than 70%, with most missing objects occurring at z < 0.7 and 2.5 < z < 3.0. In addition to classification information, the authors provide photometric redshift estimates (typically good to Delta(z) +/- 0.3 [2-sigma]) and cross-matching with radio, X-ray, and proper-motion catalogs. Finally, the authors have considered the catalog's utility for determining the optical luminosity function of quasars and are able to confirm the flattening of the bright-end slope of the quasar luminosity function at z ~ 4 as compared to z ~ 2.

GALEX/SDSS z=0.5-1.5 QSO Candidates Catalog

A sample of ~60,000 objects from the combined Sloan Digital Sky Survey-Galaxy Evolution Explorer (SDSS-GALEX) database with UV-optical colors that should isolate QSOs in the redshift range 0.5 to 1.5 is discussed. The authors use SDSS spectra of a subsample of ~ 4,500 to remove stellar and galaxy contaminants in the sample to a very high level, based on the 7-band photometry. In their paper, they discuss the distributions of redshift, luminosity, and reddening of the 19,100 QSOs (~96%) that they estimate to be present in their final sample of 19,812 point sources. This latter catalog is available in the present table. This paper is based on archival data from the Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) which is operated for NASA by the California Institute of Technology under NASA contract NAS5-98034, and on data from the SDSS. This table was created by the HEASARC in March 2011 based on the electronic version of Table 2 from the reference paper which was obtained from the AJ 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 .

SHELA-SDSS Stripe 82 Catalog

The Spitzer/HETDEX Exploratory Large-Area (SHELA) survey covers ~24 sq. deg at 3.6 and 4.5 microns. The survey area falls within the footprints of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey "Stripe 82" region, the Hobby-Eberly Telescope Dark Energy Experiment (HETDEX), and the Dark Energy Survey. The images and catalogs are 80% (50%) complete to limiting magnitudes of 22.0 (22.6) AB mag in the detection image, which is constructed from the weighted sum of the IRAC 3.6 and 4.5 micron images. The catalogs reach limiting sensitivities of 1.1 microJy at both 3.6 and 4.5 microns (1#, for R = 2" circular apertures).

2XMMi/SDSS Galaxy Cluster Survey

The authors have compiled a sample of X-ray-selected galaxy groups and clusters from the XMM-Newton Serendipitous Source Catalog (2XMMi-DR3) with optical confirmation and redshift measurement from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). In their paper, they present an analysis of the X-ray properties of this new sample with particular emphasis on the X-ray luminosity-temperature (L<sub>X</sub> - T) relation. The X-ray cluster candidates were selected from the 2XMMi-DR3 catalog in the footprint of the SDSS-DR7. The authors developed a finding algorithm to search for overdensities of galaxies at the positions of the X-ray cluster candidates in the photometric redshift space and to measure the redshifts of the clusters from the SDSS data. For optically confirmed clusters with good quality X-ray data, they derived the X-ray flux, luminosity, and temperature from proper spectral fits, while the X-ray flux for clusters with low-quality X-ray data was obtained from the 2XMMi-DR3 catalogue. The detection algorithm provides the photometric redshift of 530 galaxy clusters. Of these, 310 clusters have a spectroscopic redshift for at least one member galaxy. About 75 percent of the optically confirmed cluster sample are newly discovered X-ray clusters. Moreover, 301 systems are known as optically selected clusters in the literature while the remainder are new discoveries in X-ray and optical bands. The optically confirmed cluster sample spans a wide redshift range 0.03 to 0.70 (median z = 0.32). In this paper, they present the catalog of X-ray-selected galaxy groups and clusters from the 2XMMi/SDSS galaxy cluster survey. The catalog has two subsamples: (i) a cluster sample comprising 345 objects with their X-ray spectroscopic temperature and flux from the spectral fitting; (these objects are identified by having values for the table_sample parameter of 1 in this HEASARC implementation of the catalog) and (ii) a cluster sample consisting of 185 systems with their X-ray flux from the 2XMMi-DR3 catalog, because their X-ray data are insufficient for spectral fitting (these objects are identified by having values for the table_sample parameter of 2 herein). For each cluster, the catalog also provides the X-ray bolometric luminosity and the cluster mass at R<sub>500</sub> based on scaling relations and the position of the likely brightest cluster galaxy (BCG). The updated L<sub>X</sub> - T relation of the current sample with X-ray spectroscopic parameters is presented in the paper. The authors found the slope of the L<sub>X</sub> - T relation to be consistent with published ones. They see no evidence for evolution in the slope and intrinsic scatter of the L<sub>X</sub> - T relation with redshift when excluding the low-luminosity groups. This catalog of X-ray selected galaxy clusters and groups supersedes and subsumes the first release of the 2XMMi/SDSS Galaxy Cluster Survey, comprising 175 clusters of galaxies, which was presented in Takey et al. (2011, A&A, 534, A120). This table was created by the HEASARC in October 2013 based on <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/A+A/558/A75">CDS catalog J/A+A/558/A75</a> files table1.dat and table2.dat.
