Chandra COSMOS Radio-Selected Star-Forming Galaxies and AGN Catalog
X-ray surveys contain sizable numbers of star-forming galaxies, beyond the AGN which usually make up the majority of detections. Many methods to separate the two populations are used in the literature, based on X-ray and multi-wavelength properties. The authors aim at a detailed test of the classification schemes and to study the X-ray properties of the resulting samples. They build on a sample of galaxies selected at 1.4 GHz in the VLA-COSMOS survey, classified by Smolcic et al. (2008, ApJS, 177, 14) according to their optical colors and also observed by Chandra. A similarly selected control sample of AGN is also used for comparison. The authors review some X-ray based classification criteria and check how they affect the sample composition. The efficiency of the classification scheme devised by Smolcic et al. (2008) is such that ~30% of composite/misclassified objects are expected because of the higher X-ray brightness of AGN with respect to galaxies. The latter fraction is actually 50% in the X-ray detected sources, while it is expected to be much lower among X-ray undetected sources. Indeed, the analysis of the stacked spectrum of undetected sources shows, consistently, strongly different properties between the AGN and galaxy samples. X-ray based selection criteria are then used to refine both samples. The radio/X-ray luminosity correlation for star-forming (SF) galaxies is found to hold with the same X-ray/radio ratio valid for nearby galaxies. Some evolution of the ratio may be possible for sources at high redshift or high luminosity, though it is likely explained by a bias arising from the radio selection. Finally, in their paper the authors discuss the X-ray number counts of star-forming galaxies from the VLA- and C-COSMOS surveys according to different selection criteria, and compare them to the similar determination from the Chandra Deep Fields. The classification scheme proposed here may find application in future works and surveys. This table contains the catalogs of radio-selected SF- and AGN-candidate sources with an X-ray detection in C-COSMOS which were contained in Tables 2 and 3 of the reference paper, respectively. The HEASARC has merged these into a single table, adding a new parameter sample which is set to 'SFG' for radio-selected SF-candidate sources from Table 2 and to 'AGN' for the AGN-candidate sources from Table 3. This table was created by the HEASARC in June 2012 based on CDS table J/A+A/542/A16 files table2.dat and table3.dat. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

COSMOS Zurich Structure & Morphology Catalog
COSMOS is an astronomical survey designed to probe the formation and evolution of galaxies as a function of cosmic time (redshift) and large scale structural environment. The survey covers a 2 square degree equatorial field with imaging by most of the major space-based telescopes (Hubble, Spitzer, GALEX, XMM, Chandra) and a number of large ground based telescopes (Subaru, VLA, ESO-VLT, UKIRT, NOAO, CFHT, and others). Over 2 million galaxies are detected, spanning 75% of the age of the universe.This catalog contains the measurements presented in: 1. Scarlata, Carollo, Lilly et al 2007, ApJS, 172, 406 (i.e., the Zurich Estimator of Structural Type [ZEST] catalog; measurements down to a limiting magnitude of I_AB=24. ZEST measurements for galaxies with half-light radii < 0 .17" are unreliable, especially for galaxies with a steep light profile) 2. Sargent, Carollo, Lilly et al 2007, ApJS, 172, 434 (i.e., Single-Sersic GIM2D fits; measurements down to a limiting magnitude of I_AB=22.5;formal GIM2D fits are also listed for approx. 2650 compulsory zCOSMOS-Bright x-ray, radio, etc. sources with I_AB > 22.5 - however, the quality of the fits deteriorates for sources substantially fainter than ~I_AB~23)This v1.0 catalog is based on the May 2006 release of Alexie Leauthaud's ACS catalog (cut at the limits mentioned above).
VLA-COSMOS 3-GHz Large Project Source Catalog
This table contains some of the results from the VLA-COSMOS 3-GHz Large Project based on 384 hours of observations with the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) at 3 GHz (10 cm) toward the 2 square degree Cosmic Evolution Survey (COSMOS) field. The final mosaic reaches a median rms of 2.3 µJy (µJy) beam<sup>-1</sup> over the 2 square degrees at an angular resolution of 0.75 arcseconds. To fully account for the spectral shape and resolution variations across the broad (2-GHz) band, the authors imaged all the data with a multiscale, multifrequency synthesis algorithm. In this table, the catalog of 10,830 radio sources down to 5 sigma is presented, out of which 67 are combined from multiple components. Comparing the positions of these 3-GHz sources with those from the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA)-COSMOS survey, the authors estimate that the astrometry is accurate to 0.01 arcseconds at the bright end (signal-to-noise ratio, S/N<sub>3GHz</sub> > 20). Survival analysis on these data combined with the VLA-COSMOS 1.4-GHz Joint Project catalog yields an expected median radio spectral index alpha = -0.7. The authors compute completeness corrections via Monte Carlo simulations to derive the corrected 3-GHz source counts. Their counts are in agreement with previously derived 3-GHz counts based on single-pointing (0.087 square degrees) VLA data. In summary, the VLA-COSMOS 3-GHz Large Project simultaneously provides the largest and deepest radio continuum survey at high (0.75") angular resolution to date, bridging the gap between last-generation and next-generation surveys. The catalog contains sources selected down to a 5-sigma (where sigma ~2.3 µJy/beam) threshold. This catalog can be used for statistical analyses, accompanied with the corrections given in the data & catalog release paper. All completeness and bias corrections and source counts presented in the paper were calculated using this sample. The total fraction of spurious sources in the COSMOS 2 sq.deg. field is below 2.7% within this catalog. However, an increase of spurious sources up to 24% at 5.0 < S/N < 5.5 is present (for details see Sec. 5.2., Fig. 17 and Table 3 of the reference paper). A subsample with a minimal spurious source fraction can be selected by requiring an additional cutoff S/N >= 5.5 for single component sources (MULTI=0). The total fraction of spurious sources in the COSMOS 2 sq.deg. field within such a selected sample is below 0.4%, and the fraction of spurious sources is below 3% even at the lowest S/N of 5.5. This table was created by the HEASARC in June 2017 based on <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/A+A/602/A1">CDS Catalog J/A+A/602/A1</a> file table1.dat, the VLA-COSMOS 3-GHz radio source catalog.

XMM-COSMOS Catalog of Optical/IR Counterparts
This table contains the final optical identifications of the medium-depth (~60 ks), contiguous (2 degree<sup>2</sup>) XMM-Newton survey of the COSMOS field. XMM-Newton has detected ~1800 X-ray sources down to limiting fluxes of ~5 x 10<sup>-16</sup>, ~3 x 10<sup>-15</sup>, and ~7 x 10<sup>-15</sup> erg cm<sup>-2</sup> s<sup>-1</sup> in the 0.5-2 keV, 2-10 keV, and 5-10 keV bands, respectively (~1 x 10<sup>-15</sup>, ~6 x 10<sup>-15</sup>, and ~1 x 10<sup>-14</sup> erg cm<sup>-2</sup> s<sup>-1</sup>, in the three bands, respectively, over 50% of the area). The work is complemented by an extensive collection of multi-wavelength data from 24 microns to UV, available from the COSMOS survey, for each of the X-ray sources, including spectroscopic redshifts for >~50% of the sample, and high-quality photometric redshifts for the rest. The XMM-Newton and multi-wavelength flux limits are well matched: 1760 (98%) of the X-ray sources have optical counterparts, 1711 (~95%) have IRAC counterparts, and 1394 (~78%) have MIPS 24 um detections. Thanks to the redshift completeness (almost 100%) the authors were able to constrain the high-luminosity tail of the X-ray luminosity function confirming that the peak of the number density of log L<sub>X</sub> > 44.5 active galactic nuclei (AGNs) is at z ~ 2. Spectroscopically identified obscured and unobscured AGNs, as well as normal and star-forming galaxies, present well-defined optical and infrared properties. The authors devised a robust method to identify a sample of ~150 high-redshift (z > 1), obscured AGN candidates for which optical spectroscopy is not available. They were able to determine that the fraction of the obscured AGN population at the highest (L<sub>X</sub> > 10<sup>44</sup> erg s<sup>-1</sup>) X-ray luminosity is ~15%-30% when selection effects are taken into account, providing an important observational constraint for X-ray background synthesis. The authors studied in detail the optical spectrum and the overall spectral energy distribution of a prototypical Type 2 QSO (source number 2028), caught in a stage transitioning from being starburst dominated to AGN dominated, which was possible to isolate only thanks to the combination of X-ray and infrared observations. This table was created by the HEASARC in July 2010 based on the electronic version of Table 2 from the paper which was obtained from the Astrophysical Journal web site. <p> The HEASARC has made some changes to this material in order to make it more compliant with CDS/IAU Nomenclature and HEASARC table standards: <p> (i) The original naming convention suggested by the authors used a prefix of 'XMMC_' and the J2000.0 RA and Dec position in decimal degrees to 10<sup>-5</sup> degrees precision, e.g., XMMC_150.10515+1.98082'; the HEASARC has replaced these names by alternative new ones (in the alt_name parameter) of the form 'XMMU JHHMMSS.s+DDMMSS' where the prefix is the usual one for XMM-Newton sources and the remainder of the field is the J2000.0 equatorial coordinates truncated to 0.1 seconds of time in RA and to 1 arcsecond in Declination; <p> (ii) We have used for the alt_name parameter the naming convention recommended by the Dictionary of Nomenclature of Celestial Objects for XMM-COSMOS sources, viz. the "XMMC' prefix and the source (XID) number, e.g., "XMMC 2028'.

COSMOS Field VLBA Observations 1.4-GHz Source Catalog
This table contains the results of a project using wide-field Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) observations at 1.4 GHz of 2,865 known radio sources in the Cosmic Evolution Survey (COSMOS) field, a field which has exceptional multi-wavelength coverage. The main objective of this study is to identify the active galactic nuclei (AGN) in this field. Wide-field VLBI observations were made of all known radio sources in the COSMOS field at 1.4 GHz using the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA). The authors also collected complementary multiwavelength information from the literature for the VLBA-detected sources.The combination of the number of sources, sensitivity, angular resolution and the area covered by this project are unprecedented. A catalog which contains the VLBI-detected sources is presented, the main purpose of which is to be used as an AGN catalog. the complementary multiwavelength (optical, infrared and X-ray) information of the VLBI-detected sources is also presented. The authors have detected 468 radio sources, expected to be AGN, with the VLBA. This is, to date, the largest sample assembled of VLBI-detected sources in the sub-mJy regime. They find a detection fraction of 20% +/- 1%, considering only those sources from the input catalog which were in principle detectable with the VLBA (2,361). As a function of the VLA flux density, the detection fraction is higher for higher flux densities, since at high flux densities a source could be detected even if the VLBI core accounts for a small percentage of the total flux density. As a function of redshift, the authors see no evolution of the detection fraction over the redshift range 0.5 < z < 3. In addition, they find that faint radio sources typically have a greater fraction of their radio luminosity in a compact core: ~70% of the sub-mJy sources detected with the VLBA have more than half of their total radio luminosity in a VLBI-scale component, whereas this is true for only ~30% of the sources that are brighter than 10 mJy. This suggests that fainter radio sources differ intrinsically from brighter ones. Across the entire sample, the authors find the predominant morphological classification of the host galaxies of the VLBA-detected sources to be early type (57%), although this varies with redshift and at z > 1.5 they find that spiral galaxies become the most prevalent (48%). The number of detections is high enough to study the faint radio population with statistically significant numbers. The authors demonstrate that wide-field VLBI observations, together with new calibration methods such as multi-source self-calibration and mosaicking, result in information which is difficult or impossible to obtain otherwise. This table contains 504 entries, including the 468 VLBA-detected sources and, for sources with multiple components, entries for the individual components. Among the detected sources, there are 452 single, 13 double, 2 triple and 1 quadruple source. Source entries have no suffix in their vlba_source_id, e.g., 'C3293', whereas component entries have a, b, c or d suffixes, e.g., 'C0090a' (and a value of 2 for the multi_cpt_flag parameter). This table was created by the HEASARC in December 2017 based on <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/A+A/607/A132">CDS Catalog J/A+A/607/A132</a> files vlba_cat.dat and vlba_mw.dat.

S-COSMOS MIPS 160 micron Photometry Catalog
COSMOS is an astronomical survey designed to probe the formation and evolution of galaxies as a function of cosmic time (redshift) and large scale structural environment. The survey covers a 2 square degree equatorial field with imaging by most of the major space-based telescopes (Hubble, Spitzer, GALEX, XMM, Chandra) and a number of large ground based telescopes (Subaru, VLA, ESO-VLT, UKIRT, NOAO, CFHT, and others). Over 2 million galaxies are detected, spanning 75% of the age of the universe.The MIPS 70 and 160 micron catalogs are described in Frayer et al. (2009).
Chandra COSMOS (C-COSMOS) Survey X-Ray Point Source Catalog
The Chandra COSMOS Survey (C-COSMOS) is a large, 1.8 Ms, Chandra program that has imaged the central 0.5 deg<sup>2</sup> of the COSMOS field (centered at RA, Dec of 10 hours , +02 degrees) with an effective exposure of ~ 160 ks, and an outer 0.4 deg<sup>2</sup> area with an effective exposure of ~ 80 ks. The limiting source detection depths are 1.9 x 10<sup>-16</sup> erg cm<sup>-2</sup> s<sup>-1</sup> in the soft (0.5 - 2 keV) band, 7.3 x 10<sup>-16</sup> erg cm<sup>-2</sup> s<sup>-1</sup> in the hard (2 - 10 keV) band, and 5.7 x 10<sup>-16</sup> erg cm<sup>-2</sup> s<sup>-1</sup> in the full (0.5 - 10 keV) band. In this paper, the authors describe the strategy, design, and execution of the C-COSMOS survey, and present the catalog of 1761 point sources detected at a probability of being spurious of < 2 x 10<sup>-5</sup> (1655 in the full, 1340 in the soft, and 1017 in the hard bands). By using a grid of 36 heavily (~ 50%) overlapping pointing positions with the ACIS-I imager, a remarkably uniform (+/-12%) exposure across the inner 0.5 deg<sup>2</sup> field was obtained, leading to a sharply defined lower flux limit. The widely different point-spread functions obtained in each exposure at each point in the field required a novel source detection method, because of the overlapping tiling strategy, which is described in a companion paper. This method produced reliable sources down to a 7-12 counts, as verified by the resulting log N-log S curve, with sub-arcsecond positions, enabling optical and infrared identifications of virtually all sources, as reported in a second companion paper. Supporting data products for this table (including images, event files, and exposure maps) are available at the <a href="https://cosmos.astro.caltech.edu/page/xray/">COSMOS Survey website</a> and at <a href="https://irsa.ipac.caltech.edu/data/COSMOS/">IRSA</a>. At the IRSA website, it is also possible to search a database that includes "postage stamps" of the X-ray data for each source, along with the multi-wavelength optical and infrared data, including the I-band, K-band, and Spitzer 3.6-micron (Band 1) images used in the Part III paper (Civano et al. 2012) to identify the sources. See also the related table <a href="ccosmosoid.html">CCOSMOSOID</a> for the optical and infrared identifications of the surveyed X-ray point sources.

The survey covers a 2 square degree equatorial field with imaging by most of the major space-based telescopes (Hubble, Spitzer, GALEX, XMM, Chandra) and a number of large ground based telescopes (Subaru, VLA, ESO-VLT, UKIRT, NOAO, CFHT, and others). Over 2 million galaxies are detected, spanning 75% of the age of the universe.
Chandra COSMOS (C-COSMOS) Survey Photometric Redshift Catalog
In their paper, the authors release accurate photometric redshifts for 1692 counterparts to Chandra sources in the central square degree of the Cosmic Evolution Survey (COSMOS) field. The availability of a large training set of spectroscopic redshifts that extends to faint magnitudes enabled photometric redshifts comparable to the highest quality results presently available for normal galaxies. The authors demonstrate that morphologically extended, faint X-ray sources without optical variability are more accurately described by a library of normal galaxies (corrected for emission lines) than by active galactic nucleus (AGN) dominated templates, even if these sources have AGNlike X-ray luminosities. Preselecting the library on the bases of the source properties allowed them to reach an accuracy sigma[Delta-z/(1+Z<sub>spec</sub>)] ~ 0.015 with a fraction of outliers of 5.8% for the entire Chandra-COSMOS sample. In addition, in this study the authors released revised photometric redshifts for the 1735 optical counterparts of the XMM-detected sources over the entire 2 deg<sup>2</sup> of COSMOS (these sources are listed in the HEASARC table XMMCPHOTZ). For 248 sources, their updated photometric redshift differs from the previous release by Delta-z > 0.2. These changes are predominantly due to the inclusion of newly available deep H-band^ photometry (H<sub>AB</sub> = 24 mag). The authors illustrate once again the importance of a spectroscopic training sample and how an assumption about the nature of a source together, with the number and the depth of the available bands, influences the accuracy of the photometric redshifts determined for AGN. These considerations should be kept in mind when defining the observational strategies of upcoming large surveys targeting AGNs, such as eROSITA at X-ray energies and the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder Evolutionary Map of the Universe in the radio band. This table contains the photometric redshifts and related quantities for 1694 (note that there appears to be 2 more sources than the above-quoted abstract states) Chandra sources in the central square degree of the COSMOS field. Notice that in the original as-published paper no positional information was provided. The HEASARC has assumed that the source numbers used in the present catalog are in the same source numbering scheme as used by Elvis et al. (2009, ApJS, 184, 158, the Chandra COSMOS Survey Point Source Catalog, available at the HEASARC as the CCOSMOSCAT table) and thus obtained the positions and (position-based) names corresponding to these sources. This table was created by the HEASARC in November 2011 based on an electronic version of Table 4 from the reference paper which was obtained from the ApJ website.

XMM-COSMOS Catalog of X-Ray Selected Type 1 AGN
This table contains the results from a study of the X-ray to optical properties of a sample of 545 X-ray selected Type 1 AGN, from the XMM-Newton Cosmic Evolution (XMM-COSMOS) survey, over a wide range of redshifts (0.04 < z < 4.25) and X-ray luminosities (40.6 <= log(L<sub>2-10keV</sub>) <= 45.3). About 60% of them are spectroscopically identified Type 1 AGN, while the others have a reliable photometric redshift and are classified as Type 1 AGN on the basis of their multi-band Spectral Energy Distributions (SEDs). In the reference, the authors discuss the relationship between UV and X-ray luminosity, as parametrized by the X-ray to optical-UX alpha<sub>ox</sub> spectral slope, and its dependence on redshift and luminosity. Herein optical and X-ray properties for 545 Type 1 AGN in XMM-COSMOS are presented. For each source, X-ray ID, spectroscopic redshift, photometric redshift, upper error on the photometric redshift, lower error on the photometric redshift, logarithm of the monochromatic luminosity at 2500 Angstroms, logarithm of the monochromatic luminosity at 2 keV, alpha<sub>ox</sub>, logarithm of the 2-10 keV luminosity, logarithm of the bolometric luminosity in solar units, bolometric correction, photometric classification, logarithm of the Eddington ratio, logarithm of the black hole mass in solar masses, and a flag for the 2-10 keV detection (flag = 1 [343 entries] means a detection in the 2-10 keV band, while flag = 0 is for 2-10 keV upper limits) are given. This table was created by the HEASARC in May 2010 based on <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/A+A/512/A34">CDS catalog J/A+A/512/A34</a> file table2.dat.

COSMOS VLA Deep Catalog
COSMOS is an astronomical survey designed to probe the formation and evolution of galaxies as a function of cosmic time (redshift) and large scale structural environment. The survey covers a 2 square degree equatorial field with imaging by most of the major space-based telescopes (Hubble, Spitzer, GALEX, XMM, Chandra) and a number of large ground based telescopes (Subaru, VLA, ESO-VLT, UKIRT, NOAO, CFHT, and others). Over 2 million galaxies are detected, spanning 75% of the age of the universe.These VLA data represent the additional 62 hrs of 1.4 GHz (20cm) observations of the central 7 pointings already imaged by the large project in A-configuration in February/March 2006. The observations have been combined with the large project in which the 2 square degree COSMOS field with the position given above as the center of the field was surveyed for 275 hours. The observations of the large project were performed at 1.4 GHz (20 cm), using the VLA in its A- and C-configuration between September 2004 and September 2005. The final combined survey has reached a sensitivity of an rms of uJy/beam in the central 30' at a resolution of 2.5"x2.5".
VLA-COSMOS Survey 324-MHz Continuum Source Catalog
This table contains a source catalog based on 90-cm (324-MHz) Very Large Array (VLA) imaging of the COSMOS field, comprising a circular area of 3.14 square degrees centered on 10<sup>h</sup> 00<sup>m</sup> 28.6<sup>s</sup>, _02<sup>o</sup> 12' 21" (J2000.0 RA and Dec). The image from the merger of 3 nights of observations using all 27 VLA antennas had an effective total integration time of ~ 12 hours, an 8.0 arcsecond x 6.0 arcsecond angular resolution, and an average rms of 0.5 mJy beam<sup>-1</sup>. The extracted catalog contains 182 sources (down to 5.5 sigma), 30 of which are multi-component sources. Using Monte Carlo artificial source simulations, the authors derive the completeness of the catalog, and show that their 90-cm source counts agree very well with those from previous studies. In their paper, the authors use X-ray, NUV-NIR and radio COSMOS data to investigate the population mix of this 90-cm radio sample, and find that the sample is dominated by active galactic nuclei. The average 90-20 cm spectral index (S_nu_~ nu<sup>alpha</sup>, where S<sub>nu</sub> is the flux density at frequency nu and alpha the spectral index) of the 90-cm selected sources is -0.70, with an interquartile range from -0.90 to -0.53. Only a few ultra-steep-spectrum sources are present in this sample, consistent with results in the literature for similar fields. These data do not show clear steepening of the spectral index with redshift. Nevertheless, this sample suggests that sources with spectral indices steeper than -1 all lie at z >~ 1, in agreement with the idea that ultra-steep-spectrum radio sources may trace intermediate-redshift galaxies (z >~ 1). Using both the signal and rms maps (see Figs. 1 and 2 in the reference paper) as input data, the authors ran the AIPS task SAD to obtain a catalog of candidate components above a given local signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) threshold. The task SAD was run four times with search S/N levels of 10, 8, 6 and 5, using the resulting residual image each time. They recovered all the radio components with a local S/N > 5.00. Subsequently, all the selected components were visually inspected, in order to check their reliability, especially for the components near strong side-lobes. After a careful analysis, a S/N threshold of 5.50 was adopted as the best compromise between a deep and a reliable catalog. The procedure yielded a total of 246 components with a local S/N > 5.50. More than one component, identified in the 90-cm map sometimes belongs to a single radio source (e.g. large radio galaxies consist of multiple components). Using the 90-cm COSMOS radio map, the authors combined the various components into single sources based on visual inspection. The final catalog (contained in this HEASARC table) lists 182 radio sources, 30 of which have been classified as multiple, i.e. they are better described by more than a single component. Moreover, in order to ensure a more precise classification, all sources identified as multi-component sources have been also double-checked using the 20-cm radio map. The authors found that all the 26 multiple 90-cm radio sources within the 20-cm map have 20-cm counterpart sources already classified as multiple. The authors have made use of the VLA-COSMOS Large and Deep Projects over 2 square degrees, reaching down to an rms of ~15 µJy beam<sup>1</sup> ^ at 1.4 GHz and 1.5 arcsec resolution (Schinnerer et al. 2007, ApJS, 172, 46: the VLACOSMOS table in the HEASARC database). The 90-cm COSMOS radio catalog has, however, been extracted from a larger region of 3.14 square degrees (see Fig. 1 and Section 3.1 of the reference paper). This implies that a certain number of 90-cm sources (48) lie outside the area of the 20-cm COSMOS map used to select the radio catalog. Thus, to identify the 20-cm counterparts of the 90-cm radio sources, the authors used the joint VLA-COSMOS catalog (Schinnerer et al. 2010, ApJS, 188, 384: the VLACOSMJSC table in the HEASARC database) for the 134 sources within the 20-cm VLA-COSMOS area and the VLA- FIRST survey (White et al. 1997, ApJ, 475, 479: the FIRST table in the HEASARC database) for the remaining 48 sources. The 90-cm sources were cross-matched with the 20-cm VLA-COSMOS sources using a search radius of 2.5 arcseconds, while the cross-match with the VLA-FIRST sources has been done using a search radius of 4 arcseconds in order to take into account the larger synthesized beam of the VLA-FIRST survey of ~5 arcseconds. Finally, all the 90 cm - 20 cm associations were visually inspected in order to ensure also the association of the multiple 90-cm radio sources for which the value of the search radius used during the cross-match could be too restrictive. In summary, out of the total of 182 sources in the 90-cm catalog, 168 have counterparts at 20 cm. This table was created by the HEASARC in October 2014 bas
COSMOS Tasca Morphology Catalog
COSMOS is an astronomical survey designed to probe the formation and evolution of galaxies as a function of cosmic time (redshift) and large scale structural environment. The survey covers a 2 square degree equatorial field with imaging by most of the major space-based telescopes (Hubble, Spitzer, GALEX, XMM, Chandra) and a number of large ground based telescopes (Subaru, VLA, ESO-VLT, UKIRT, NOAO, CFHT, and others). Over 2 million galaxies are detected, spanning 75% of the age of the universe.The COSMOS Tasca Morphology Catalog includes morphological parameters computed using Morpheus 2005.

XMM-Newton COSMOS (XMM-COSMOS) Survey Photometric Redshift Catalog
In their paper, the authors release accurate photometric redshifts for 1692 counterparts to Chandra sources in the central square degree of the Cosmic Evolution Survey (COSMOS) field. The availability of a large training set of spectroscopic redshifts that extends to faint magnitudes enabled photometric redshifts comparable to the highest quality results presently available for normal galaxies. The authors demonstrate that morphologically extended, faint X-ray sources without optical variability are more accurately described by a library of normal galaxies (corrected for emission lines) than by active galactic nucleus (AGN) dominated templates, even if these sources have AGNlike X-ray luminosities. Preselecting the library on the bases of the source properties allowed them to reach an accuracy sigma[Delta-z/(1+Z<sub>spec</sub>)] ~ 0.015 with a fraction of outliers of 5.8% for the entire Chandra-COSMOS sample. These Chandra sources are not contained in this table but are available in the HEASARC table CCOSMPHOTZ). In addition, in this study the authors released revised photometric redshifts for the 1735 optical counterparts of the XMM-detected sources over the entire 2 deg<sup>2</sup> of COSMOS, and these are the sources listed in the present table. For 248 sources, their updated photometric redshift differs from the previous release by Delta-z > 0.2. These changes are predominantly due to the inclusion of newly available deep H-band^ photometry (H<sub>AB</sub> = 24 mag). The authors illustrate once again the importance of a spectroscopic training sample and how an assumption about the nature of a source together, with the number and the depth of the available bands, influences the accuracy of the photometric redshifts determined for AGN. These considerations should be kept in mind when defining the observational strategies of upcoming large surveys targeting AGNs, such as eROSITA at X-ray energies and the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder Evolutionary Map of the Universe in the radio band. This table contains the photometric redshifts and related quantities for 1735 XMM-Newton sources over the entire 2 square degrees of the COSMOS field. Notice that in the original as-published paper no positional information was provided. The HEASARC has assumed that the source numbers used in the present catalog are in the same source numbering scheme as used by Cappelluti et al. (2009, A&A, 497, 635, the XMM-Newton Wide-Field Survey in the COSMOS Field Point-like X-ray Source Catalog, available at the HEASARC as the XMMCOSMOS table) and thus obtained the positions and (position-based) names corresponding to these X-ray sources from the latter. This table was created by the HEASARC in November 2011 based on an electronic version of Table 5 from the reference paper which was obtained from the ApJ website.

VLA-COSMOS 3-GHz Large Project Multiwavelength Counterparts Catalog
In the reference paper, the authors study the composition of the faint radio population selected from the VLA-COSMOS 3-GHz Large Project, a radio continuum survey performed at 10-cm wavelength. The survey covers a 2.6 square degree area with a mean rms of ~2.3 µJy/beam (µJy/beam), cataloguing 10,830 sources above 5 sigma, and enclosing the full 2 square degree COSMOS field. By combining these radio data with optical, near-infrared (UltraVISTA), and mid-infrared (Spitzer/IRAC) data, as well as X-ray data (Chandra), the authors find counterparts to radio sources for ~93% of the total radio sample in the unmasked areas of the COSMOS field, i.e., those not affected by saturated or bright sources in the optical to near-IR (NIR) bands, reaching out to z ~ 6. They further classify the sources as star-forming galaxies or AGN based on various criteria, such as X-ray luminosity, observed mid-infrare (MIR) color, UV-far-infrared (FIR) spectral-energy distribution (SED), rest-frame near-ultraviolet (NUV)-optical color corrected for dust extinction, and radio-excess relative to that expected from the the hosts' star-formation rate. The authors separate the AGN into sub-samples dominated by low-to-moderate and moderate-to-high radiative luminosity AGN, i.e., candidates for high-redshift analogs to local low- and high-excitation emission line AGN, respectively. They study the fractional contributions of these sub-populations down to radio flux levels of ~11 uJy at 3 GHz (or ~20 uJy at 1.4 GHz assuming a spectral index of -0.7), and find that the dominant fraction at 1.4 GHz flux densities above ~200 uJy is constituted of low-to-moderate radiative luminosity AGN MLAGN). Below densities of ~100 uJy the fraction of star-forming galaxies (SFG) increases to ~60%, followed by the moderate-to-high radiative luminosity AGN (HLAGN) with ~20%, and MLAGN with ~20%. Based on this observational evidence, the authors extrapolate the fractions down to sensitivities of the Square Kilometer Array (SKA). Their estimates suggest that at the faint flux limits to be reached by the (Wide, Deep, and UltraDeep) SKA1 surveys, a selection based only on radio flux limits can provide a simple tool to efficiently identify samples highly (>75%) dominated by star-forming galaxies. This table contains the full list of 9,161 optical-MIR counterparts collected over the largest unmasked area accessible to each catalog, being 1.77, 1.73, and 2.35 square degrees for COSMOS2015, i-band, and IRAC catalogs, respectively. The catalog lists the counterpart IDs, properties, as well as the individual criteria used in this work to classify these radio sources. The authors note that complete, non-overlapping samples within a well defined, effective area of 1.77 square degrees (COSMOS2015 masked area flag_C15 = 0, can be formed by combining (i) HLAGN, MLAGN, and clean SFG samples, or, alternatively, (ii) the radio-excess and no-radio-excess samples. This table was created by the HEASARC in July 2017 based on <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/A+A/602/A2">CDS Catalog J/A+A/602/A2</a> file table1.dat, the VLA-COSMOS 3-GHz Large Project multiwavelength counterpart catalog.

XMM-COSMOS X-Ray Selected Type-2 AGN
This table contains the results from a study of the multi-wavelength (from the mid-infrared to the hard X-ray) properties of a sample of 255 spectroscopically identified X-ray selected Type-2 AGN from the XMM-COSMOS survey. Most of them are obscured and the X-ray absorbing column density is determined by either X-ray spectral analyses (for 45% of the sample), or from hardness ratios. Spectral energy distributions (SEDs) were computed for all sources in the sample. The average SEDs in the optical band are dominated by the host-galaxy light, especially at low X-ray luminosities and redshifts. There is also a trend between X-ray and mid-infrared luminosity: the AGN contribution in the infrared is higher at higher X-ray luminosities. The authors have calculated bolometric luminosities, bolometric corrections, stellar masses and star formation rates (SFRs) for these sources using multi-component modeling to properly disentangle the emission associated with stellar light from that due to black hole accretion. For 90% of the sample, they also have the morphological classifications obtained with an upgraded version of the Zurich estimator of structural types (ZEST+). The authors find that, on average, type-2 AGN have lower bolometric corrections than type-1 AGN. Moreover, they confirm that the morphologies of AGN host-galaxies indicate that there is a preference for these type-2 AGN to be hosted in bulge-dominated galaxies with stellar masses greater than 10<sup>10</sup> solar masses. For each source, this table contains the X-ray ID, spectroscopic redshift, logarithm of the 2-10keV luminosity, logarithm of the bolometric luminosity, bolometric correction, logarithm of the stellar mass, star formation rate, absolute magnitude M<sub>U</sub>, absolute magnitude M<sub>V</sub>, absolute magnitude M<sub>J</sub> (Johnson-Kron-Cousin system), and the morphological class. This table was created by the HEASARC in October 2011 based on CDS table J/A+A/534/A110 file table1.dat. 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 .
Chandra-COSMOS Bright Source Catalog
COSMOS is an astronomical survey designed to probe the formation and evolution of galaxies as a function of cosmic time (redshift) and large scale structural environment. The survey covers a 2 square degree equatorial field with imaging by most of the major space-based telescopes (Hubble, Spitzer, GALEX, XMM, Chandra) and a number of large ground based telescopes (Subaru, VLA, ESO-VLT, UKIRT, NOAO, CFHT, and others). Over 2 million galaxies are detected, spanning 75% of the age of the universe.This is version 2.1 of the C-COSMOS Bright Source Catalog which consists of 1761 sources detected at uniform confidence in the 0.5 - 7 keV band of the Chandra-COSMOS survey. Details of the survey and initial results are found in the C-COSMOS catalog paper (Elvis et al. 2009, Paper I). The methods used to detect sources and generate the catalog are described in detail in Puccetti et al. 2009 (Paper II). Nearly 100%-complete multiwavelength source identification is discussed in Civano et al. 2009 (Paper III).
