Brightest M Dwarfs in the Northern Sky Spectroscopic Catalog

This table contains a spectroscopic catalog of the 1564 brightest (J < 9<sup>m</sup>) M-dwarf candidates in the northern sky, as selected from the SUPERBLINK proper-motion catalog (Lepine and Shara 2005, AJ, 129, 1483). Observations confirm 1408 of the candidates to be late-K and M dwarfs with spectral subtypes K7 - M6. From the low (mu > 40 mas yr<sup>-1</sup>) proper motion limit and high level of completeness of the SUPERBLINK catalog in that magnitude range, the authors estimate that their spectroscopic census most likely includes > 90% of all existing, northern-sky M dwarfs with apparent magnitude J < 9<sup>m</sup>. Only 682 stars in this sample are listed in the Third Catalog of Nearby Stars (CNS3, Gliese and Jahreiss 1991); most others are relative unknowns and have spectroscopic data presented here for the first time. Spectral subtypes are assigned based on spectral index measurements of CaH and TiO molecular bands; a comparison of spectra from the same stars obtained at different observatories, however, reveals that spectral band index measurements are dependent on spectral resolution, spectrophotometric calibration, and other instrumental factors. As a result, the authors find that a consistent classification scheme requires that spectral indices be calibrated and corrected for each observatory/instrument used. After systematic corrections and a recalibration of the subtype-index relationships for the CaH2, CaH3, TiO5, and TiO6 spectral indices, the authors find that they can consistently and reliably classify all the stars to a half-subtype precision. The use of corrected spectral indices further requires them to recalibrate the zeta parameter, a metallicity indicator based on the ratio of TiO and CaH optical bandheads. However, the authors find that their zeta values are not sensitive enough to diagnose metallicity variations in dwarfs of subtypes M2 and earlier (+/- 0.5 dex accuracy) and are only marginally useful at later M3-M5 subtypes (+/- 0.2 dex accuracy). Fits of their spectra to the Phoenix atmospheric model grid are used to estimate effective temperatures. These suggest the existence of a plateau in the M1-M3 subtype range, in agreement with model fits of infrared spectra but at odds with photometric determinations of T<sub>eff</sub>. Existing geometric parallax measurements are extracted from the literature for 624 stars, and are used to determine spectroscopic and photometric distances for all the other stars. Active dwarfs are identified from measurements of H-alpha equivalent widths, and the authors find a strong correlation between H-alpha emission in M dwarfs and detected X-ray emission from ROSAT and/or a large UV excess in the GALEX point source catalog. Proper motion data and photometric distances are combined in order to evaluate the (U, V, W) distribution in velocity space, which is found to correlate tightly with the velocity distribution of G dwarfs in the solar neighborhood. However, active stars show a smaller dispersion in their space velocities, which is consistent with those stars being younger on average. The authors state that this catalog will be very useful for guiding the selection of the best M dwarf targets for exoplanet searches, in particular those using high-precision radial velocity measurements. This online catalog was created by the HEASARC in June 2013 based on a machine-readable version of Tables 1, 3 and 7 from the paper which were obtained from the AJ website (Tables 1 and 3) or from the first author (Table 7).

Chandra Multiwavelength Plane Survey Optical ID Catalog

The authors have carried out optical and X-ray spectral analyses on a sample of 136 candidate optical counterparts of X-ray sources found in five Galactic bulge fields included in their Chandra Multiwavelength Plane (ChaMPlane) Survey. They used a combination of optical spectral fitting and quantile X-ray analysis to obtain the hydrogen column density toward each object, and a three-dimensional dust model of the Galaxy to estimate the most probable distance in each case. They present the discovery of a population of stellar coronal emission sources, likely consisting of pre-main-sequence, young main-sequence, and main-sequence stars, as well as a component of active binaries of RS CVn or BY Dra type. They identify one candidate quiescent low-mass X-ray binary with a sub-giant companion, but note that this object may also be an RS CVn system. They report the discovery of 3 new X-ray-detected cataclysmic variables (CVs) in the direction of the Galactic center (at distances <~2 kpc). This number is in excess of predictions made with a simple CV model based on a local CV space density of <~10<sup>-5</sup> pc<sup>-3</sup>, and a scale height of ~200 pc. They discuss several possible reasons for this observed excess in their paper. This table was created by the HEASARC in October 2008 based on the version of Table 5 from the paper which was obtained from the electronic ApJ web site. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

Ritter Binaries Related to CVs Catalog (7.21 Edition)

This HEASARC database table contains information on the so-called "Related Objects" only, as taken from the Catalog of Cataclysmic Binaries, Low-Mass X-ray Binaries, and Related Objects (7th Edition, Release 7.21, March 2014) of Ritter & Kolb. The complete catalog lists coordinates, apparent magnitudes, orbital parameters, stellar parameters of the components, and other characteristic properties of 1166 cataclysmic binaries, 105 low-mass X-ray binaries, and 500 related objects with known or suspected orbital periods. The HEASARC has for simplicity split this catalog into three Browse database tables, one for each class of objects: the present table (RITTERRBIN) containing the related binaries' data, a second one (<a href="/W3Browse/star-catalog/rittercv.html">RITTERCV</a>) containing cataclysmic binaries' data, and a third one (<a href="/W3Browse/star-catalog/ritterlmxb.html">RITTERLMXB</a>) containing the low-mass X-ray binaries' data. The literature published before 1 January 2014 has, as far as possible, been taken into account. Related objects are detached binaries consisting of either a white dwarf or a white dwarf precursor primary and of a low-mass secondary. The secondary may also be a highly evolved star. This table was last updated by the HEASARC in April 2014 based on the pcbdata.dat file from the <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/B/cb">CDS Catalog B/cb</a>.

Wood Interacting Binaries Catalog

This catalog, also called the Finding List (FL) of Interacting Binaries (5th edition), was abstracted from the Card Catalog maintained at the University of Florida which contains information on all published, and to the extent available, unpublished work on eclipsing binaries. The Card Catalog originated with Raymond Smith Dugan in the 1930's, who published from it the first edition of "A Finding List for Observers of Eclipsing Variables" (Dugan 1934, Princeton Univ. Obs. Contrib. No. 15). Successive editions of FL were subsequently published by Pierce (1947, Princeton Univ. Obs. Contrib. No. 22), by Wood (1953, Univ. Pennsylvania Astron. Series, Vol. VIII), by Koch et al. (1963, Univ. Pennsylvania Astron. Series, Vol. IX), and by Wood et al. (1980, Univ. Pennsylvania Astron. Series, Vol. XII). The FL was conceived as an aid to observers of eclipsing variables in selecting an observing program efficiently from the collection of all known data in an easy-to-use format. Although this format has changed over the years to meet existing requirements, the basic information content remains the same. The current edition differs from previous ones in the extension of the magnitude limit at minimum light from 13 to 15. In earlier editions, a binary system was not included unless the editors were reasonably certain that the system was indeed an eclipsing or (rarely) an ellipsoidal variable. The fifth edition includes all systems that the editors were fairly certain are either eclipsing or radiometrically variable binaries. The catalog fields are Finding List number; star name; position (given in the original catalog in equinox 1900); blue magnitude at maximum light; bandpass of maximum light; depth of primary minimum in same bandpass; bandpass primary minimum; depth of secondary minimum and its bandpass; spectral class of star eclipsed at primary light and optional uncertainty character; spectral class of star eclipsed at secondary light; most recent reliable epoch of primary minimum; most recent orbital period; duration of primary minimum; duration of totality of primary minimum; BD, CoD, CPD, and HD number; alternate designations of system; and codes indicating the nature of the system. This database was created by the HEASARC in December 1997 based on a computer readable version of the catalog that was obtained from the CDS (their catalog VI/44): a few additions were made by the HEASARC that are listed in the HEASARC_Changes section of the present document.

TD1 Stellar Ultraviolet Fluxes Catalog

The Belgian/UK Ultraviolet Sky Survey Telescope (S2/68) in the ESRO TD1 satellite carried out a controlled scan of the entire sky. It measured the absolute ultraviolet flux distribution between 2740A and 1350A of point sources down to 10th visual magnitude for unreddened early B stars. The S2/68 experiment has been described by Boksenberg et al. (1973MNRAS.163..291B), and the absolute calibration by Humphries et al. (1976A&A....49..389H). The TD1 Catalog of Stellar Ultraviolet Fluxes represents results from the sky-scan experiment on the TD1 satellite of the European Space Research Organization (ESRO), now part of ESA. It lists the absolute fluxes, in four passbands, for 31,215 stars: <pre> Passband Center: 274.0nm 236.5nm 196.5nm 156.5nm Effective Width: 31.0nm 33.0nm 33.0nm 33.0nm </pre> The stars have been selected subject to the constraint that the signal-to-noise ratio should be at least 10.0 in any one of the four passbands. Null values of a flux field and an error field indicate there are no valid data for the star. This usually arises with close pairs of stars whose spectra overlap. Five standard flux error values are greater than 99.99, and were too large for the format of the flux field in the original table. Thus, the flux error values which were greater than 99.99 are given as 99.99. Many of the fainter stars of spectral type later than A5 do not have significant signals in all of the spectrophotometric channels (particularly the 1565A channel). Consequently, after the removal of the background, they can randomly give rise to small negative values of flux. Those negative values were not suppressed, but are given together with their error, as they can be significant when considered as part of a statistical sample. Although the sky coverage is essentially complete, the catalog does not contain the fluxes for all stars that fall within the limit of the sensitivity of the instrument. If any star expected to be present is missing, then its signal is probably blended with that of a nearby star, in which case the data have been discarded. The original contents of the HEASARC's TD1 database table came from a magnetic tape sent to NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center by Dr. G.I. Thompson of the Royal Observatory in Edinburgh, Scotland. The HEASARC recreated this database table in August 2005, based on the <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/II/59B">CDS Catalog II/59B</a> file catalog.dat.gz, in an effort to modernize its parameter names and documentation, as well as to add Galactic coordinates. The data in the CDS version originally came from "Selected Astronomical Catalogs" Vol. 1 CD-ROM released by the NASA Astronomical Data Center (ADC) in 1991.

LOFAR 3C295 Field 34-MHz Source Catalog

This table contains the source list from Low Frequency Array (LOFAR) Low Band observations of the 3C 295 field at 34 MHz. The image of this field made at 34 MHz reaches a noise level of 12 mJy beam<sup>-1</sup>, making it the deepest image ever obtained at this frequency. In total, the authors detect 392 sources in the 3C 295 34-MHz field image, covering an area of 52.3 square degrees out to a primary-beam attenuation factor of 0.4. From these and simultaneous observations made at other low-band frequencies, the authors derive Euclidean-normalized differential source counts. The 62-MHz source counts agree with previous GMRT 153 MHz and Very Large Array 74 MHz differential source counts, scaling with a spectral index of -0.7. The authors find that a spectral index scaling of -0.5 is required to match up the LOFAR 34 MHz source counts. This result is also in agreement with source counts from the 38 MHz 8C survey, indicating that the average spectral index of radio sources flattens toward lower frequencies. The authors also find evidence for spectral flattening using the individual flux measurements of sources between 34 and 1400 MHz and by calculating the spectral index averaged over the source population. To select ultra-steep spectrum (alpha < -1.1) radio sources that could be associated with massive high-redshift radio galaxies, the authors compute spectral indices between 62 MHz, 153 MHz, and 1.4 GHz for sources in the Bootes field. They cross-correlate these radio sources with optical and infrared catalogs and fit the spectral energy distribution to obtain photometric redshifts. They find that most of these ultra-steep spectrum sources are located in the 0.7 <~ z <~ 2.5 range. The Bootes and 3C 295 fields were simultaneously observed on 2012 April 12 as part of a multi-beam observation with the LOFAR LBA stations. The idea behind the multi-beam setup was to use the 3C 295 observations as a calibrator field to transfer the gain amplitudes to the (target) Bootes field. The pointing center of the 3C 295 field was J2000.0 RA, Dec = 14<sup>h</sup> 11<sup>m</sup> 20.9<sup>s</sup>, +52<sup>o</sup> 13' 55". The total integration time on both fields was 10.25 hr. The '34-MHz' observing band for the 3C 295 field observations was from 30 - 40 MHz, with 21 sub-bands more or less evenly distributed within this frequency range, with a total bandwidth of 4.1 MHz. The synthesized beam for this observation had dimensions of 56 arcseconds x 30 arcseconds. An overview of the observations is given in Table 1 of the reference paper, and an overview of the image characteristics in Table 2 of the reference paper. This table was created by the HEASARC in January 2015 based on some of the contents of the machine-readable version of Table 3 from the reference paper, namely the 392 entries listing sources in the 3C 295 field detected at 34 MHz. The remaining entries in this table listing the sources detected in the Bootes field at a frequency of 62 MHz. and the sources detected in the 3C295 field at frequencies of 46 and 62 MHz, are available as the HEASARC tables LOFARBF62M, LOF3C29546 and LOF3C29562, respectively.

Small Magellanic Cloud Deep Fields X-Ray Point Source Catalog

This table contains the results of a pair of 100 ks Chandra observations of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) to survey high-mass X-ray binaries (HMXBs), stars, and low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs)/cataclysmic variables down to L<sub>X</sub> = 4.3 x 10<sup>32</sup> erg s<sup>-1</sup>. The two SMC Deep Fields (DFs) are located in the most active star-forming region of the SMC bar, with Deep Field-1 positioned at the most pulsar-rich location identified from previous surveys. Two new pulsars were discovered in outburst, CXOU J004929.7-731058 (P = 892 s) and CXOU J005252.2-721715 (P = 326 s), and three new HMXB candidates were identified. Of the 15 Be-pulsars now known in the field, 13 were detected, with pulsations seen in 9 of them. Ephemerides demonstrate that 6 of the 10 pulsars known to exhibit regular outbursts were seen outside their periastron phase, and quiescent X-ray emission at L<sub>X</sub> = 10<sup>(33-34)</sup> erg s<sup>-1</sup> is shown to be common. Comparison with ROSAT, ASCA, and XMM-Newton catalogs resulted in positive identification of several previously ambiguous sources. Bright optical counterparts exist for 40 of the X-ray sources, of which 33 are consistent with early-type stars (M<sub>V</sub> < -2, B-V < 0.2), and are the subject of a companion paper to the reference paper. The results point to an underlying HMXB population density up to double that of active systems. The full catalog of 394 point sources is presented in this table; detailed analyses of the source timing and spectral properties are available in the reference paper. The aim-points for these Chandra observations were as follows: DF1 had J2000.0 coordinates of 00 53 34.50 -72 26 43.2 and DF2 had J2000.0 coordinates of 00 50 41.40 -73 16 10.3.

Swift BAT Transient Monitoring Catalog

The SWBATMONTR database table records high-level information of the lightcurves from the sources monitored with the Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) on board of Swift. The Swift/BAT Monitoring Program is aimed at (1) the discovery of new transient X-ray sources, (2) the detection of outbursts or other changes in the flux of known X-ray sources, and (3) the generation of lightcurves of more than 1000 sources spanning the entire Swift lifetime. Swift is a NASA mission with international participation dedicated to the gamma-ray burst study. It carries three instruments. The BAT is the large field of view instrument and operates in the 10-300 keV energy band; and two narrow field instruments, XRT and UVOT, that operate in the X-ray and UV/optical regime, respectively. The BAT monitoring the sky in the field of view and provides alerts when detecting a burst of flux coming from a source in the field of view. The BAT monitoring lightcurves are generated by the BAT team over the course of the Swift mission. The HEASARC ingests these data in the archive and generates this database table by collecting high-level information from the data. The lightcurves are renamed to use a consistent naming convention, and the FITS header is updated by adding standard FITS keywords. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

Planck-ATCA Co-eval Observations (PACO) Project Bright Sample Catalog

The Planck Australia Telescope Compact Array (Planck-ATCA) Co-eval Observations (PACO) have provided flux density measurements of well-defined samples of Australia Telescope 20-GHz (AT20G) radio sources at frequencies below and overlapping with Planck frequency bands, almost simultaneously with Planck observations. The authors have observed with the ATCA a total of 482 sources in the frequency range between 4.5 and 40 GHz in the period between 2009 July and 2010 August. Several sources were observed more than once. In their paper, the authors present the aims of the project, the selection criteria, and the observation and data reduction procedures. They also discuss the data in total intensity for a complete sample of 189 sources with 20-GHz flux densities > 500 mJy, Galactic latitude |b| > 5 degrees and Declination < -30 degrees, and some statistical analysis of the spectral behavior and variability of this sample, referred to as the 'bright PACO sample'. Finally, the authors discuss how these data could be used to transfer absolute calibrations to ground-based telescopes using the cosmic microwave background dipole calibrated flux densities measured by the Planck satellite, and they provide some test fluxes on bright calibrators. This table contains the catalog of 1004 observations of 180 of the 189 sources that comprise the 'bright PACO sample'. Thus, each row in this table corresponds to a specific observation of a source, and there can be several rows for any source, corresponding to different observations. The ATCA observations were made in 6 2-GHz wide observing bands: 4732 - 6780 MHz, 8232 - 10280 MHz, 17232 - 19280 MHz, 23232 - 25280 MHz, 32232 - 34280 MHz and 38232 - 40280 MHz. In order to properly define the detailed source spectral behavior, the authors have split each 2-GHz band into 4 x 512 MHz sub-bands, and calibrated each sub-band independently. Thus, for each observation, the flux density at 24 frequencies is given. The frequency identifier in the flux density appears (at least to this HEASARC scientist) to be the lower frequency of the sub-band rather than its central frequency. In order to provide the easiest way to extrapolate the observed counts or model predictions from one frequency to another, the authors have modeled the observed source spectra. As their observations covered a wide frequency range from 4.5 to 40 GHz over which a single power law is not enough to describe the spectral behavior of the sources, they studied the spectra of the 174 point-like sources in this sample by fitting the observed data with a double power law of the form S<sub>nu</sub> = S<sub>0</sub>/[(nu/nu<sub>0</sub>)<sup>-a</sup> + (nu/nu<sub>0</sub>)<sup>-b</sup>], where nu is the frequency, S<sub>nu</sub> is the flux density in Jy, and S<sub>0</sub>, nu<sub>0</sub>, a and b are free parameters. The authors considered only those sources for which they had at least four data points for each of the 2 x 2 GHz bands considered. Full details of the fitting procedure are given in Section 3.1 of the reference paper. This table was created by the HEASARC in January 2014 based on the machine-readable version of Table S1 from the reference paper which was obtained from the CDS (their catalog J/MNRAS/415/1597 file table1.dat).

CMa OB1 XMM-Newton Point Source Near-Infrared Counterpart Properties Catalog

The Canis Major OB1 association has an intriguing scenario of star formation, especially in the region called Canis Major R1 (CMa R1) traditionally assigned to a reflection nebula, but in reality an ionized region. The authors focused on the young stellar population associated with CMa R1, for which previous results from ROSAT, optical, and near-infrared data had revealed two stellar groups with different ages, suggesting a possible mixing of populations originated from distinct star formation episodes (see the <a href="/W3Browse/rosat/cmar1xray.html">table CMAR1XRAY</a>). The observations performed with XMM-Newton resulted in a sample of 387 X-ray sources (187, 84, 37, and 79 in Fields E, C, S , and W, respectively), 340 of which have one or more NIR (2MASS) counterparts. This table contains the 2MASS photometry, estimates of age and mass, and infrared classification of members of the CMa R1 region and counterparts to X-ray sources, based on 2MASS and WISE data. The authors also used X-ray data to characterize the detected sources (387 sources) according to hardness ratios, light curves, and spectra (see the associated table <a href="/W3Browse/xmm-newton/cmaob1xmm.html">CMAOB1XMM</a>). For this work, four fields (each about 30-arcmin diameter with some overlap) were defined. These fields are located inside the arc-shaped ionized nebula, next to Z CMa - Field E (east); around GU CMa - Field W (west); and between both - Field C (center) and Field S (south), as shown in Figure 1 of the reference paper. <pre> RA(J2000) | Dec(J2000) | Designation(s) 07 04 18.3 | -11 27 24.0 | CMa cluster east (Field E) 07 02 58.4 | -11 34 44.7 | CMa cluster center (Field C) 07 02 29.5 | -11 47 12.4 | CMa cluster south (Field S) 07 01 23.0 | -11 19 56.6 | CMa cluster west (Field W) </pre> The authors have selected NIR counterparts by searching the 2MASS catalog for candidates located less that 10'' away from the nominal X-ray source positions. No counterpart was found for 45 sources. Candidates for which the distance seems to be incompatible with the CMaR1 molecular cloud were disregarded. This table includes the complete list of NIR counterparts, however the authors only consider as reliable those flagged as 'AAA' in the 2MASS catalog (i.e., with S/N > 10, magnitude errors <0.1 mag, and above the JHK completeness limits), given by the twomass_flags field in this table. There are 340 such reliable NIR counterparts for 290 X-ray sources, including 46 X-ray sources with multiple counterpart candidates. X-ray and NIR data have revealed that most (79%) of the XMM-Newton sources are probable members of CMa R1. The combination of the results from both analyses can confirm their young nature. On the other hand, 21% of the XMM-Newton sample are probably field objects. Among these, 6% (23/387) have infrared counterparts that probably are foreground stars and 4% (17/387) have counterparts that are too faint (bad quality data) without reliable classification. The other 11% of undefined sources (44/387) do not have 2MASS data because they are classified as possible background objects. The authors have seen that the XMM-Newton error boxes may include multiple NIR counterparts. In such cases, they restricted the comparative analysis to the 158 X-ray sources of their "best sample" that are associated with a single NIR counterpart, as described in Section 4.3 of the reference paper. A distance of 1 kpc to CMa OB1 is assumed for this table. This table was created by the HEASARC in October 2018 based upon the <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/A+A/609/A127">CDS Catalog J/A+A/609/A127</a> file tableb2.dat.

Spitzer Extragalactic Representative Volume Survey CDFS 3.6 micron Catalog

The "Spitzer Extragalactic Representative Volume Survey" (SERVS) Exploration Science program conducted deep IRAC 3.6 and 4.5 micron observations of five extragalactic fields (ELAIS-N1, Lockman Hole, XMM, ELAIS-S1, and CDFS).Objects in the single band catalogs are not required to have any counterparts in the other band. They are cut at CSNR > 5 and also have the low coverage areas at the edges of the survey omitted (POLY=1), resulting in a single-band reliability flag REL=1. They are thus deeper than the 2-band high reliability catalogs. These should be used if you are matching with a reliable catalog from another band (e.g. near-infrared), and simply want as many matches as possible, or are doing a statistical study.

Cygnus TeV Source Chandra X-Ray Point Source Catalog

A 50 ks Chandra observation of the unidentified TeV source in Cygnus reported by the High Energy Gamma-Ray Astronomy (HEGRA) collaboration reveals no obvious diffuse X-ray counterpart. However, 240 pointlike X-ray sources are detected within or nearby the extended TeV J2032+4130 source region, of which at least 36 are massive stars and two may be radio emitters. That the HEGRA source is a composite, having as a counterpart the multiple pointlike X-ray sources that are observed, cannot be ruled out. Indeed, the distribution of pointlike X-ray sources appears nonuniform and concentrated broadly within the extent of the TeV source region. A hypothesis is offered for the origin of the very high energy gamma-ray emission in Cyg OB2 based on the local acceleration of TeV-range cosmic rays and the differential distribution of OB versus less massive stars in this association. The region of TeV J2032+4130 was observed by Chandra on 2004 July 12 for a total effective exposure time of 48,728 seconds using the Advanced CCD Imaging Specrometer imaging array (ACIS-I). The observation was centered on J2000.0 coordinates (RA, Dec) = )20 32 07.0, +41 30 30). This table contains the list of the 240 pointlike sources which were detected in the ACIS-I data and their 2MASS near-IR counterparts, if any are found within 3" of the X-ray sources. 130 (54%) of the 240 X-ray sources have 2MASS counterparts within these error radii. This table was created by the HEASARC in February 2007 based on the electronic version of Table 1 from the above reference which was obtained from the ApJ website.

WMAP Nine-Year Five-Band 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 Point Source Catalog contained herein has information on point sources in five frequency bands from 23 to 94 GHz, 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 5-band search technique used in the first-year, 3-year, 5-year and 7-year analyses now finds 501 point sources, compared to 471 point sources found in the 7-year analysis and 390 sources found in the 5-year analysis. The 5-band search method is largely unchanged from the 7-year analysis (Gold et al. 2011, ApJS, 192, 15). This method searches for point sources in each of the five WMAP wavelength bands. The nine-year signal-to-noise ratio map in each band is filtered in harmonic space by b<sub>l</sub>/[(b<sub>l</sub>)<sup>2</sup> C<sub>l</sub>(cmb) + C<sub>l</sub>(noise)], where b<sub>l</sub> is the transfer function of the WMAP beam response, C<sub>l</sub>(cmb) is the CMB angular power spectrum, and C<sub>l</sub>(noise) is the noise power. The filtering suppresses CMB and Galactic foreground fluctuations relative to point sources. For each peak in the filtered maps that is > 5 sigma in any band, the unfiltered temperature map in each band is fit with the sum of a planar base level and a beam template formed by convolving an azimuthally symmetrized beam profile with a skymap pixel. (This method was previously used by Weiland et al. (2011, ApJS, 192, 19) for selected celestial calibration sources and is more accurate than the Gaussian fitting that was used for the seven-year and earlier point source analyses). The peak temperature from each beam template fit is converted to a source flux density using the conversion factor Gamma given in Table 3 of the reference paper. The flux density uncertainty is calculated from the 1-sigma uncertainty in the peak temperature, and does not include any additional uncertainty due to Eddington bias. Flux density values are entered into the catalog for bands where they exceed 2 sigma and where the source width from an initial Gaussian fit is within a factor of two of the beam width. A point source catalog mask is used to exclude sources in the Galactic plane and Magellanic cloud regions. This mask has changed from the seven-year analysis in accordance with changes in the KQ85 temperature analysis mask. A map pixel is outside of the nine-year point source catalog mask if it is either outside of the diffuse component of the nine-year KQ85 temperature analysis mask or outside of the seven-year point source catalog mask. The present mask admits 83% of the sky, compared to 82% and 78% for the previous 7-year and 5-year versions, respectively. 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 CMB-free Point Source Catalog (available in Browse as the <a href="/W3Browse/wmap/wmapcmbfps.html">WMAPCMBFPS</a> table) has information on point sources in three frequency bands from 41 to 94 GHz: the CMB-free method identified 502 point sources in a linear combination map formed from 41, 61 and 94 GHz band maps using weights such that CMB fluctuations are removed and flat-spectrum point sources are retained. 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).

IRAS Point Source Catalog Redshift (PSCz) Catalog

The IRAS Point Source Catalog Redshift (PSCz) Survey consists of redshifts, infrared and optical photometry, and assorted other information for 18351 IRAS sources, mostly selected from the Point Source Catalog. The survey was designed to select almost all galaxies with flux brighter than 0.595 Jy at 60 microns (µm), over the 84% of the sky with extinction small enough that reliable and complete optical identification and spectroscopy was possible. Some of the sources are not galaxies and some are multiple entries for the same galaxy as described in the reference paper. There are in total 15,411 galaxies or possible galaxies, for which redshifts are available for 14,677. The galaxies without redshift are mostly distant or at low latitude, as described in the paper. Many of these galaxies have now been observed as part of the BTP project (Saunders et al 1999, astro-ph/9909174 "The Behind the Plane Survey"), and their redshifts were to be included in future revisions of this catalog. The full catalog for the PSCz Catalog contains more than 120 parameters and is available at the CDS in the directory <a href="http://cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr/ftp/cats/VII/221/">http://cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr/ftp/cats/VII/221/</a> as the files pscz.dat (18,351 sources in the main catalog) and psczcg.dat (60 additional sources close to the coverage gap). There is also a 'short' version of the catalog, psczvs.dat and psczcgvs.dat, containing 19 parameters, sufficient information for most studies. They correspond to the version 2.2. Many fields are taken directly from the IRAS Point Source Catalogue (CDS Cat. II/125). See the IRAS Explanatory Supplement (Beichman et al., 1988, NASAR, 1190, 1) for more information.

NGC 6791 Chandra X-Ray Point Source Catalog

This table contains some of the results from the first X-ray study of NGC 6791, one of the oldest open clusters known (8 Gyr). This Chandra observation was aimed at uncovering the population of close interacting binaries down to an X-ray luminosity (L<sub>X</sub>) of ~1 x 10<sup>30</sup> erg/s (0.3-7 keV). The authors detect 86 sources within 8 arcminutes of the cluster center, including 59 inside the half-mass radius of 4.42 arcminutes. centered on 19<sup>h</sup> 20<sup>m</sup> 53<sup>s</sup>, +37<sup>o</sup> 46' 18" (J2000.0). They identify 20 sources with proper-motion cluster members, which are a mix of cataclysmic variables (CVs), active binaries (ABs), and binaries containing sub-subgiants. With follow-up optical spectroscopy, the authors confirm the nature of one CV. They also discover one new, X-ray variable candidate CV with Balmer and He II emission lines in its optical spectrum; this is the first X-ray-selected CV in an open cluster. The number of CVs per unit mass is consistent with the field, suggesting that the 3-4 CVs observed in NGC 6791 are primordial. The authors compare the X-ray properties of NGC 6791 with those of a few old open clusters (NGC 6819, M67) and globular clusters (47 Tuc, NGC 6397). It is puzzling that the number of ABs brighter than 1 x 10<sup>30</sup> erg/s normalized by cluster mass is lower in NGC 6791 than in M 67 by a factor ~3-7. CVs, ABs, and sub-subgiants brighter than 1 x 10<sup>30</sup> erg/s are under-represented per unit mass in the globular clusters compared to the oldest open clusters, and this accounts for the lower total X-ray luminosity per unit mass of the former. This indicates that the net effect of dynamical encounters may be the destruction of even some of the hardest (i.e., X-ray-emitting) binaries. The authors observed NGC 6791 with the Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer (ACIS) on Chandra from 2004 July 1 20:51 UTC until July 2 10:49 UTC for a total exposure time of 48.2ks (ObsID 4510). They obtained low-resolution spectra of candidate optical counterparts to guide the classification of the X-ray sources. A total of 16 candidate counterparts brighter than V ~18.3 were observed with the FAST long-slit spectrograph on the 1.5m Tillinghast telescope on Mt. Hopkins on nine nights between 2005 June 7 to September 2 (coverage from 3480 to 7400 Angstrom and a 3 Angstrom resolution). Candidate optical counterparts fainter than V ~17 were observed with the fiber-fed multi-object spectrograph Hectospec on the 6.5m Multi-Mirror Telescope. A total of 16 candidate counterparts were observed on the nights of 2005 May 13 and July 4-6 (spectra that cover 3700 to 9150 Angstrom with a 6-Angstrom resolution). The authors performed source detections in broad (0.3-7.0 keV), soft (0.3-2.0 keV) and hard (2.0-7.0 keV) energy bands, also used in their Chandra study of M 67 (van den Berg et al. 2004, A&A, 418. 509), so as to facilitate comparison. The CIAO detection routine wavdetect was run for scales of 1.0 to 11.3 pixels, in steps increasing by a factor of sqrt(2), with the larger scales appropriate for large off-axis angles where the point-spread function (PSF) becomes significantly broader. The authors computed exposure maps for the response at 1 keV to account for spatial variations of the sensitivity. The wavdetect detection threshold was set to 10<sup>-6</sup>, from which the authors expect two spurious detections per detection scale (so 16 spurious detections in total) in the area that they consider here. Combination of the broad, soft, and hard-band source lists results in a master catalog of 86 distinct sources within 8 arcmin of the cluster center, of which 59 lie inside the half-mass radius r<sub>h</sub>. To investigate the validity of the sources, the authors also ran wavdetect with a threshold of 10<sup>-7</sup> or an expected number of spurious sources of 1.6. The 14 sources not detected in this run are marked with a value of the source_flag parameter of 'T' in this table (replacing the '*' symbol used in the original table). This table was created by the HEASARC in August 2015 based on the <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/ApJ/770/98">CDS Catalog J/ApJ/770/98</a> files table1.dat and table2.dat.

VLA SWIRE Deep Field 20-cm Source Catalog

This table contains some of the results from deep radio observations taken with the Very Large Array at a center frequency of 1400 MHz covering a region of the Spitzer Wide-area InfraRed Extragalactic (SWIRE) Survey of the Spitzer Legacy survey, centered at RA and Dec of 10:46:00, +59:01:00 (J2000). The reduction and cataloging of radio sources are described in the reference paper. This table comprises the catalog of the sources detected above 5 sigma. The survey presented is the deepest so far in terms of the radio source density on the sky. Perhaps surprisingly, the sources down to the bottom of the catalog appear to have median angular sizes which are still greater than 1 arcsecond, like their cousins 10-100 times stronger. The shape of the differential log N-log S counts also seems to require a correction for the finite sizes of the sources in order to be self-consistent. If the log N-log S normalization remains constant at the lowest flux densities, there are about six sources per square arcminute at 15 µJy (µJy) at 20 cm. Given the finite-source size this implies that we may reach the natural confusion limit near 1 uJy. The observations were made with the VLA in A, B, C, and D configurations for a total of almost 140 hr on-source between 2001 December and 2004 January. Since the total time is dominated by the A congiguration, the final image for analysis has a resolution of ~1.6 arcseconds. This table was created by the HEASARC in September 2010 based on <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/AJ/136/1889/">CDS catalog J/AJ/136/1889/</a> file table2.dat.

ROSAT PSPC Catalog of the Pleiades (Micela et al. 1996)

This catalog contains the results of a deep X-ray survey of the core region of the Pleiades open cluster carried out with ROSAT. In a single PSPC field (~1 degree in radius), 99 of 214 Pleiades stars are detected in X-rays, and upper limits are computed for the remainder. This catalog lists the characteristics of these stars taken from the literature, including their rotational data, as well as their X-ray characteristics. The nucleus of the composite catalog used in this study is the catalog compiled from the published literature for the Einstein investigations of the Pleiades (Micela et al. 1990, ApJ, 348, 557). This list has been extended by the results of recent surveys to a completeness limit of visual magnitude of about 18. This database was created at the HEASARC in April 2002 based on the ADC/<a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/ApJS/102/75">CDS Catalog J/ApJS/102/75</a> and is derived from Tables 1 and 5 of the published paper.
