Master Radio Catalog

The RADIO database table is a periodically revised master catalog that contains selected parameters from a number of the HEASARC database tables that have information on radio source flux densities. The contents of this RADIO master catalog are listed in alphabetical order in the References section of this document. Each entry in RADIO has a parameter called `database_table` which indicates the originating database table from which the entry was copied. Users should check out the original database table if they want to examine all of the parameters that are available in that particular database table for the particular source(s) in which they are interested. Two of the component database tables of RADIO, DIXON and KUEHR, are compilations of radio observations, and individual sources can have multiple entries, representing either observations at different frequencies or multiple observations at the same frequency. In the latter case, notice, the flux density quoted in the RADIO database is an average of the individual flux densities at that particular frequency in the originating database. To see all of the individual entries for a source in RADIO from either of these two component databases, the corresponding entries in the DIXON and KUEHR database tables should be examined. The HEASARC in certain instances has included radio sources for which the quoted value for the specified band is an upper limit rather than a detection. The HEASARC recommends that the user should always check the original tables to get the complete information about the properties of the sources listed in the RADIO master source list. This database table is periodically updated by the HEASARC whenever one of the component database tables is modified or a new component database table is added.

National Space Science Data Center Master Catalog

The National Space Science Data Center serves as the permanent archive for NASA space science mission data. 'Space science' means astronomy and astrophysics, solar and space plasma physics, and planetary and lunar science. As permanent archive, NSSDC teams with NASA's discipline-specific space science 'active archives' which provide access to data to researchers and, in some cases, to the general public. Search by event, spacecraft, experiment, map, or publication query. NSSDC is part of the Solar System Exploration Data Services Office (SSEDSO) in the Solar System Exploration Division at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, MD.

XTE Master Catalog

This database table was created for the purpose of providing a comprehensive, accurate, and easily accessible tracking of Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) pointed observations. It does not list observations made during slews: those are listed in the <a href="/W3Browse/xte/xteslew.html">XTESLEW</a> database table. The XTEMASTER table includes both observations that have already completed and those still scheduled to be done. The XTEMASTER table is regenerated automatically on a quasi-regular basis whenever the RXTE Science Operations Facility (SOF) updates their short-term or long-term schedules and transfers the new version(s) to the HEASARC. At that time, it will also incorporate all the latest information on which targets have been observed (using the daily RXTE ObsCats at <a href="https://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/FTP/xte/timelines/obscat/">https://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/FTP/xte/timelines/obscat/</a>) and which observations have been archived in the public RXTE Data Archive at <a href="https://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/FTP/xte/data/archive/">https://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/FTP/xte/data/archive/</a>. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

Suzaku Master Catalog

This database table records high-level information for each Suzaku observation and provides access to the data archive. Each record is associated with a single observation. An observation contains data from all instruments on board Suzaku. The Suzaku satellate operated from July 2005 till September 2015. This database table was generated at the Suzaku proceesing site with the final data reprocessing (September 2016) after the mission stopped operating. During operation, it was updated on daily basis. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

MAXI Master Catalog

The MAXIMASTER database table records high-level information of the Monitor of All-sky X-ray Image (MAXI) observations and provides access to the data archive. MAXI is a Japanese experiment located at the International Space Station (ISS), designed to continuously monitor, through a systematic survey, X-ray sources as the ISS orbits Earth. MAXI was launched by the space shuttle Endeavour on 2009 July 16, then mounted on port No. 1 on JEM-EF on July 24. After the electric power was turned on, MAXI started nominal observations on 2009 August 3. The MAXI data are a copy of the MAXI data processing; the output of which is hosted at the DARTS archive located at ISAS (<a href="https://darts.isas.jaxa.jp/astro/maxi/">https://darts.isas.jaxa.jp/astro/maxi/</a>). This catalog is then generated at the HEASARC by collecting high-level information from the data and is updated regularly during operation. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

XRISM Master Catalog

The X-Ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission (XRISM) is an international mission led by Institute of Space and Astronautical Science (ISAS) of Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA). XRISM was launched on 2023 September 6 (UT) into a near-circular orbit with an apogee of ~575 km, an inclination of ~31 degrees, and an orbital period of about 96 minutes. During the performance verification (PV) phase, targets selected by the XRISM science team are being observed. Subsequently, it will become a general observatory with annual call for proposals open to all astronomers. XRISM has two co-aligned instruments that are used concurrently: Resolve, a soft X-ray spectrometer, and Xtend, a wide field-of-view imager. Resolve uses an X-ray microcalorimeter with ~5 eV spectral resolution withs a 3x3 arcmin field of view. It is currently operating with the Gate Valve closed, which limits its effective bandpass to 1.7-12 keV. Xtend is an X-ray CCD instrument with a 38 x 38 arcmin<sup>2</sup> field of view. This table contains a list of observations that have taken place as well as those that have been accepted and planned. The latter includes pre-approved targets for TOO observations and priority C targets whose observations are not guaranteed. This database table is based on information supplied by the XRISM Science Data Center at NASA/GSFC. It is updated automatically on a regular basis. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

Swift Master Catalog

This table records high-level information for each Swift observation and provides access to the data archive. Each record is associated with a single observation that contains data from all instruments on board Swift. The BAT is the large field of view instrument and operates in the 10-300 keV energy band. The narrow field instruments, XRT and UVOT, operate in the X-ray and UV/optical regime, respectively. An observation is defined as a collection of snapshots, where a snapshot is defined as the time spent observing the same position continuously. Because of observing constraints, the length of a snapshot can be shorter than a single orbit and it can be interrupted because the satellite will point in a different direction of the sky or because the time allocated to that observation ends. The typical Swift observing strategy for a Gamma Ray Burst (GRB) and/or afterglow, consists of a serious of observations aimed at following the GRB and its afterglow evolution. This strategy is achieved with two different type of observations named Automatic Targets and Pre-Planned Targets. The Automatic Target is initiated on board soon after an event is triggered by the BAT. The Figure of Merit (FOM) algorithm, part of the observatory's autonomy, decides if it is worth requesting a slew maneuver to point the narrow field instruments (NFI) on Swift, XRT and UVOT, in the direction of the trigger. If the conditions to slew to the new position are satisfied, the Automatic Target observation takes place; all the instruments have a pre-set standard configuration of operating modes and filters and about 20000 seconds on source will be collected. The Pre-Planned Target observations instead are initiated from the ground once the trigger is known. These observations are planned on ground and uploaded onto the spacecraft. This database table is generated at the Swift processing site. During operation, it is updated on daily basis. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

Master EUV Catalog

The EUV database table is the Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) Master Catalog and contains a compendium of EUV sources. It is comprised of selected fields from the following HEASARC EUV database tables: <pre> * <a href="/W3Browse/all/euvebsl.html">EUVEBSL</a> - First Extreme UltraViolet Explorer Bright Source List * <a href="/W3Browse/all/euvecat2.html">EUVECAT2</a> - Second Extreme UltraViolet Explorer Source Catalog * <a href="/W3Browse/all/roswfc2re.html">ROSWFC2RE</a> - ROSAT Wide Field Camera 2RE Catalog * <a href="/W3Browse/all/rosatxuv.html">ROSATXUV</a> - ROSAT Wide Field Camera Pointed Phase Catalog of XUV Sources * <a href="/W3Browse/all/euverap1.html">EUVERAP1</a> - First Extreme UltraViolet Explorer Right Angle Program Catalog * <a href="/W3Browse/all/euverap2.html">EUVERAP2</a> - Second Extreme UltraViolet Explorer Right Angle Program Catalog * <a href="/W3Browse/all/euverap3.html">EUVERAP3</a> - Third Extreme UltraViolet Explorer Right Angle Program Catalog * <a href="/W3Browse/all/euvexrtcat.html">EUVEXRTCAT</a> - All-Sky Catalog of Faint EUV Sources </pre> Notice that we have not included EUVECAT1 (First Extreme UltraViolet Explorer Source Catalog) and WFCBSC (ROSAT Wide Field Camera Bright Source Catalog), as these are obsolete catalogs superceded by EUVECAT2 and ROSWFC2RE, respectively. The EUVEBSL database table contains a detailed list of verified bright EUVE sources detected during the survey phase of the EUVE mission (calibration targets are also included). Two distinct surveys, the all-sky and deep surveys, were conducted by the four EUVE telescopes during the first six months of the mission. EUVEBSL contains 356 sources. EUVECAT2 is the 2nd Catalog of EUV objects detected by the Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer (EUVE) and published by Bowyer et al. in 1996 (ApJS, 102, 129). The data include (i) all-sky survey detections from the initial 6-months scanner survey phase, (ii) additional scanner detections made later during specially programmed observations designed to fill in low-exposure sky areas of the initial survey, (iii) sources detected with deep-survey telescope observations along the ecliptic plane, (iv) objects detected by the scanner telescopes during targeted spectroscopy observations, and (v) other observations. Plausible optical, X-ray, radio, and/or UV identifications are available for about 65% of the EUV sources. EUVECAT2 contains 801 sources. ROSWFC2RE is the ROSAT Wide Field Camera 2RE Source Catalog. It contains 479 EUV sources found during the ROSAT all-sky survey of July 1990 to January 1991. The information in this database is based on what has been published by Pye et al. (1995, MNRAS, 274, 1165). It supersedes the earlier WFC Bright Source Catalog (WFCBSC), but we have retained the latter in the EUV database for reasons of completeness The ROSATXUV database table is a catalog of XUV sources (Kreysing H.C., Brunner H., and Staubert, R. 1995, A&AS, 114, 465), extracted from observations by the ROSAT Wide Field Camera during the pointed phase. The 5916 WFC pointed observations that were included are from the calibration and verification phase in June 1990 and from the period of pointed observations from February 9, 1991 to July 15, 1994. The catalog contains 1022 independent source detections corresponding to 4 different filters (S1, S2, P1 and P2) and 328 individual sources, many of which were observed repeatedly. Only ROSATXUV detections in the S1 filter band are included in the EUV table. If there are multiple observations of a single source/position in ROSATXUV, then only one entry for that source will be present in the EUV Master Catalog. The EUVERAP1 database table contains the detections of 114 extreme-ultraviolet (EUV; 58 - 740 Angstrom) sources, of which 99 are new serendipitous sources, based on observations covering approximately 8% of the sky which were made with the imaging telescopes on board the Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer (EUVE) during the Right Angle Program (RAP). These data were obtained using the survey scanners and the Deep Survey instrument during the first year of the spectroscopic guest observer phase of the mission, from January 1993 to January 1994. The data set consists of 162 discrete pointings whose exposure times are typically two orders of magnitude longer than the average exposure times during the EUVE all-sky survey. The EUVERAP2 database table is a catalog of 235 extreme ultraviolet (EUV) sources, of which 169 are new detections, using the EUVE Observatory's Right Angle Program (RAP) data obtained with the A, B and C scanners and the Deep Survey (DS) instrument in the period from January 1994 through November 1998. The EUVE RAP used the all-sky survey telescopes (also known as the "scanners"), which were mounted at right angles to the Deep Survey and Spectrometer (DS/S) instruments, in order to obtain photometric data

Dixon Master List of Radio Sources (Version 43)

This database table is the Dixon Master List of Radio Sources (Version 43, dated November 1981) which contains flux densities for known radio sources detected at a variety of frequencies. The Master List of Radio Sources was prepared by combining about thirty catalogs of radio sources that were available as of that date into a common format. Notice that this is a list of observations, not of individual sources, and that an entry in this table corresponds to an observation of a radio source at a particular frequency from a particular source catalog: also, no attempt was made by the author to use the same name for the same source, e.g., the source 3C 273 appears more than a dozen times under a variety of names such as PKS 1226+02, NRAO400, CTA 53, etc. This database table was recreated at the HEASARC in June 2005 after it was discovered that the positions had been incorrectly precessed. The original input table used for both the previous and current HEASARC Dixon tables was the 43rd version of the Master List, dated November 1981. It was obtained from the Colorado node of the Astrophysics Data System (ADS), the now-defunct HTTP link <adswww.colorado.edu/catalogs/rad_msl43.html>, and apparently was provided by D. E. Harris on or after 1991. Notice that the version of this table that is currently available at CDS (<a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/VII/2A">https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/VII/2A</a>) is, according to Andernach (1989, Bull. Inf. Centre Donnees Stellaires, 37, 139), the 42nd edition (dated 1976) and has only 79493 entries compared to 84510 entries in the HEASARC table. 49 duplicate entries were removed from the HEASARC table in June 2019.

eROSITA Observations Master Catalog

This is the eROSITA Master Catalog which has been created from information supplied to the HEASARC by the <a href="https://erosita.mpe.mpg.de/edr/eROSITAObservations/">eROSITA-DE</a> team. This database table contains the list of observations made by the SRG eROSITA mission. Currently, the German eROSITA Consortium (eROSITA-DE) has made public the observations obtained during the Calibration and Performance Verification (Cal-PV) program for which it holds data exploitation rights. Over one hundred individual pointing and field scans were performed with eROSITA as a prime instrument between mid-September and mid-December 2019 form part of the Cal-PV program. For practical purposes, the eROSITA-DE team has divided the Cal-PV observations into four categories: <pre> Survey fields: These are scan observations of large, contiguous areas of the sky. Magellanic Clouds: These are observations around the Small and Large Magellanic Clouds. Galactic fields: These include observations with |Galactic latitude| < 17 deg. Extragalactic fields: These include observations with |Galactic latitude| > 17 deg. </pre> The HEASARC has created this database table, based on the observations from the shared public data, and added links to associated <a href="https://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/db-perl/W3Browse/w3table.pl?MissionHelp=srg-erosita">eROSITA</a> catalogs and data products, where available. The HEASARC produced this database table based on information obtained from the eROSITA-DE website in July 2023. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

Hitomi Master Catalog

This table records high-level information for the observations obtained with Hitomi and provides access to the data archive. The Hitomi mission was launched on a JAXA H-IIA into low Earth orbit on February 17, 2016, at 5:45 pm JPS from Tanegashima Space Center. Hitomi was equipped with four different instruments that together cover a wide energy range 0.3-600 keV. The Soft X-ray Spectrometer (SXS), which combined a lightweight Soft X-ray Telescope paired with a X-ray Calorimeter Spectrometer, provided non-dispersive 7-eV resolution in the 0.3-10 keV bandpass with a field of view of about 3 arcminutes. The Soft X-ray Imager (SXI) expanded the field of view with a new generation CCD camera in the energy range of 0.5-12 keV at the focus of the second lightweights Soft X-ray Telescope; the Hard X-ray Imager (HXI, two units) performed sensitive imaging spectroscopy in the 5-80 keV band; the non-imaging Soft Gamma-ray Detector (SGD, two units) extended Hitomi's energy band to 600 keV. On March 27, 2016, JAXA lost contact with the satellite and, on April 28, announced the cessation of the efforts to restore mission operations. At that time Hitomi was in check-out phase and had started the calibration observations. Data were collected from six celestial objects (Perseus, N132D, IGR_J16318-4848, RXJ1856.5-3754, G21.5-0.9, and Crab) as well as black sky for a total of about one month of data. The data from these observations were divided into intervals of one day if the observation of a specific pointing was longer that one day. A sequence number was assigned to each observing day and within data from all instruments are included. The day division was mainly to limit the data size within a sequence number. There are in total 42 sequences, and each record in this database table is dedicated to a single sequence. The early observations do not contain data from all instruments and in cases the object was not always placed at the aim point. This database contains parameters to indicate which instrument was on and if the celestial source was in the field of view. The SXS was the first instrument to turn on and therefore all observations contain SXS data, although the thermal equilibrium was reached after March 4 2016. The second instrument was the SXI followed by the HXIs and, finally, the two SGDs. This database table was generated at the Hitomi Science Data Center processing site (Angelini, L., Terada, Y, et al., 2016, SPIE 9905E, 14) with additions to indicate which instrument was on and if the source was in the FOV. It was ingested into the HEASARC database in June 2017. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

EXOSAT Master Observation List

The EXOMASTER database contains the EXOSAT observation log. This is a complete list of all EXOSAT observations, observing modes, and principal investigators. The log can be used to find out which targets were observed by EXOSAT, who observed them and the observation configuration. In addition this database can also be used to check the availability of the FOT (Final Observation Tape) files (the original raw data files) and their reformatted FITS files. This database table was originally created in September/October, 1997. The HEASARC revised this database table in August, 2006, in order to fix the equatorial coordinates (which were in the wrong equinox) and to rename or convert some of the time-related fields to better conform with current HEASARC practices. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

NuSTAR Master Catalog

The Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR) mission, launched on 2012 June 13, is the first focusing high-energy X-ray telescope in orbit. NuSTAR operates in the band from 3 to 79 keV, extending the sensitivity of focusing instruments far beyond the ~10 keV high-energy cutoff achieved by all previous X-ray satellites. The inherently low background associated with concentrating the X-ray light enables NuSTAR to probe the hard X-ray sky with a more than 100-fold improvement in sensitivity over the collimated or coded mask instruments that have operated in this bandpass. The observatory was placed into a 600-km altitude, 6 degree inclination circular orbit, and consists of two co-aligned grazing-incidence X-ray telescopes pointed at celestial targets by a three-axis stabilized spacecraft. NuSTAR has completed its two-year primary science mission, and, with an expected orbit lifetime of more than 10 years, the opportunity for proposing observations as part of the General Observer (GO) program is now available, with observations beginning in 2015. Using its unprecedented combination of sensitivity and spatial and spectral resolution, NuSTAR offers opportunities for a broad range of science investigations, ranging from probing cosmic ray origins to studying the extreme physics around compact objects to mapping micro-flares on the surface of the Sun. NuSTAR also responds to targets of opportunity including supernovae and gamma-ray bursts. This table contains a list of (a) unobserved targets that are planned or have been accepted for observation by NuSTAR in the future and (b) NuSTAR observations which have been processed and successfully validated by the NuSTAR Science Operation Center. The data from these observations may or may not be public and the user should check the value of the public_date parameter to determine the status of a specified data set. Only those ObsIDs which have a public_date in the past will have data publicly available. Observations with a public_date parameter value which is either blank or a date in the future have been ingested into the HEASARC archive but will remain encrypted until their public date. Entries with the status field set to 'accepted' are targets approved for scheduling, and the planned exposure time given in the exposure_a (and exposure_b) parameter will have a negative value for those targets. This database table is based on information supplied by the NuSTAR Project at Caltech. It is automatically updated on a regular basis. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .
