NuSTAR Serendipitous Survey 40-Month Primary Source Catalog
This table contains the first full catalog and science results for the Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR) Serendipitous Survey. The catalog incorporates data taken during the first 40 months of NuSTAR operation, which provide ~20 Ms of effective exposure time over 331 fields, with an areal coverage of 13 deg<sup>2</sup>, and 498 sources (the abstract of the reference paper states that there are 497 sources) detected in total over the 3-24 keV energy range. There are 276 sources with spectroscopic redshifts and classifications, largely resulting from the authors' extensive campaign of ground-based spectroscopic follow-up. The authors characterize the overall sample in terms of the X-ray, optical, and infrared source properties. The sample is primarily composed of active galactic nuclei (AGN), detected over a large range in redshift from z = 0.002 to 3.4 (median redshift z of 0.56), but also includes 16 spectroscopically confirmed Galactic sources. There is a large range in X-ray flux, from log (f<sub>3-24keV</sub>) ~ -14 to -11 (in units of erg s<sup>-1</sup> cm<sup>-2</sup>), and in rest-frame 10-40 keV luminosity, from log (L_10-40keV) ~ 39 to 46 (in units of erg s<sup>-1</sup>), with a median of 44.1. Approximately 79% of the NuSTAR sources have lower-energy (<10 keV) X-ray counterparts from XMM-Newton, Chandra, and Swift XRT observations. The mid-infrared (MIR) analysis, using WISE all-sky survey data, shows that MIR AGN color selections miss a large fraction of the NuSTAR-selected AGN population, from ~15% at the highest luminosities (L<sub>X</sub> > 10<sup>44</sup> erg s<sup>-1</sup>) to ~80% at the lowest luminosities (L<sub>X</sub> < 10<sup>43</sup> erg s<sup>-1</sup>). The authors' optical spectroscopic analysis finds that the observed fraction of optically obscured AGN (i.e., the type 2 fraction) is F_Type 2_ = 53 (+14, -15) per cent, for a well-defined subset of the 8-24 keV selected sample. This is higher, albeit at a low significance level, than the type 2 fraction measured for redshift- and luminosity-matched AGNs selected by <10 keV X-ray missions. This table contains the Primary NuSTAR Serendipitous Source Catalog of 498 sources found using the source detection procedure described in Section 2.3 of the reference paper, and listed in Table 5 (op. cit.). Additional information on these Primary Catalog sources that the authors obtained using optical spectroscopy is available in Table 6 of the reference paper (q.v.). This table does not contain the 64 sources in the Secondary NuSTAR Serendipitous Source Catalog that were found using wavdetect and that are listed in Table 7 of the reference paper: this is available in the HEASARC database as a separate table, dubbed <a href="/W3Browse/nustar/nustarssc2.html">NUSTARSSC2</a>. This table was created by the HEASARC in July 2017 based on the machine-readable version of Table 5 from the reference paper, the Primary NuSTAR Serendipitous Source Catalog, that was obtsined from the ApJ web site.

Rho Ophiuchi SFR Chandra X-Ray Point Source Catalog
This catalog of X-ray sources represents some of the results of a systematic study of X-ray flares from low-mass young stellar objects, using two deep exposure Chandra observations of the main region of the rho Ophiuchi star-forming cloud. From 195 X-ray sources, including class I-III pre-main sequence sources and some young brown dwarfs, a total of 71 X-ray flares were detected. The Chandra X-ray Observatory (Weisskopf et al., 2002PASP..114....1W) observed the central region of rho Oph twice with a deep exposure of the ACIS-I array, consisting of four abutted X-ray CCDs. The first observation (here and after, obs. BF) covered the south-east 17.4' x 17.4' area, including cores B, C, E, and F, while the second observation (obs. A) covered the north-west area centered on core A (Loren et al., 1990ApJ...365..269L). This table contains data and the results of spectral and timing analyses on the 195 sources detected in the two rho Oph fields, 9 of which were detected in both fields and are therefore listed twice (A-61=BF-2, A-64=BF-4, A-65=BF-5, A-69=BF-7, A-75=BF-11, A-77=BF-15, A-78=BF-16, A-79=BF-17, and A-81 = BF-19). Sources which flared have multiple entries, with one entry (typically, but not always) listing the properties of the quiescent emission, and additional entries for individual flares which were analyzed separately. For the very faint sources for which the temperatures obtained from X-ray spectral analyses were not constrained, there are typically two entries in this table per source, one of which gives the results of a spectral analysis in which the temperature was fixed at 1 keV (11.6 MK) and the other in which the temperature was instead fixed at 5 keV (58 MK). Thus, there are more entries (306) in this HEASARC table than the number (195) of detected rho Oph X-ray sources. This table was created by the HEASARC in February 2007 based on <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/PASJ/55/653">CDS Catalog J/PASJ/55/653</a> files table2.dat and table3.dat.

Ultraluminous X-Ray Sources in External Galaxies Catalog
This table is a catalog of ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) in external galaxies, where ULXs have been defined as compact, off-nuclear X-ray sources with X-ray luminosities in the range of 10<sup>39</sup> - 10<sup>41</sup> erg/s. The aim of this catalog is to provide easy access to the properties of ULXs, their possible counterparts at other wavelengths (optical, IR, and radio), and the properties of their host galaxies. The catalog contains 229 ULXs found in 85 galaxies which had been reported in the astronomy literature as of April 2004. Most ULXs are stellar-mass-black hole X-ray binaries, but it cannot be excluded that some ULXs might be intermediate-mass black holes. A small fraction of the candidate ULXs might be background Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) or Supernova Remnants (SNRs). ULXs with luminosity above 10<sup>40</sup> erg/s are found in both starburst galaxies and in the halos of early-type galaxies. Some notes on individual galaxies and/or ULXs in this catalog can be found in the file <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/A+A/429/1125/notes.dat">https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/A+A/429/1125/notes.dat</a> which is available at the CDS. This table was created by the HEASARC in January 2005, based on CDS tables J/A+A/429/1125/table1a.dat and table1b.dat. It was updated in September 2012 to correct an error in the declination signs of the NGC 253 objects. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .
AKARI/IRC All-Sky Survey Point Source Catalog, Version 1

NICER Master Catalog
This table records high-level information for the observations obtained with NICER (Neutron star Interior Composition ExploreR) and provides access to the NICER data archive. NICER is a NASA Explorer program Mission of Opportunity dedicated to the study of the neutron stars, exploring the exotic states of matter where density and pressure are higher than in atomic nuclei. NICER instrument is a payload aboard the International Space Station (ISS). It was launched on 3 June 2017 on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket and placed on the ISS. Normal operation started on 17 July 2017 after a commission phase to test the system and perform initial calibration. NICER's X-ray Timing Instrument (XTI) consists of an aligned collection of 56 X-ray "concentrator" optics (XRC) and silicon drift detector (SDD) pairs working in the energy range of 0.2-12 keV. Each XRC collects X-rays over a large geometric area from a roughly 30 arcmin<sup>2</sup> region of the sky and focuses them onto a small SDD. The SDD detects individual photons, recording both energies (with a 3% energy resolution at 6 keV) and high precision times (with 100 nanoseconds RMS relative to Universal Time). During one day of operation, NICER monitors several sources. For each observed source the data are divided into intervals of one day and labeled with a sequence number. This database table contains one record for each sequence number and includes parameters related to the observation. This contents of this database table are generated at the NICER Science and Mission Operations Center (SMOC) and updated regularly with new observations. Note that some fields have been added and are populated by the HEASARC. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .
Australia Telescope Hubble Deep Field-South Optical Identifications Catalog
The Australia Telescope Hubble Deep Field-South (ATHDF-S) survey of the Hubble Deep Field-South (HDF-S) reaches sensitivities of ~ 10 µJy (µJy) at 1.4, 2.5, 5.2, and 8.7 GHz, making the ATHDF-S one of the deepest surveys ever performed with the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA). This table contains the optical identifications of the ATHDF-S radio sources (the radio data from which are available in summarized form in the HEASARC ATHDFSCCAT table) using data from the literature. The authors find that ~ 66% of the radio sources have optical counterparts to an I magnitude of 23.5 mags. Deep Hubble Space Telescope (HST) imaging of the area identifies a further 12% of the radio sources. In this table, the authors present data from new spectroscopic observations for 98 of the radio sources and supplement these spectroscopic redshifts with photometric ones calculated from five-band optical imaging. The radio observations and data reduction are detailed in Papers I-III of this series: <pre> I = Norris et al., 2005, AJ, 130, 1358; II = Huynh et al., 2005, AJ, 130, 1373, available at the HEASARC as the ATHDFS1P4G table; III = Huynh et al., 2007, AJ, 133, 1331, available at the HEASARC as the ATHDFSCCAT and ATHDFS3FRQ tables. </pre> Palunas et al. (2000, ApJ, 541, 61) observed the HDF-S region using the Big Throughput Camera (BTC) on the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory (CTIO) 4m during 1998 September. Images were taken in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) u, Johnson B and V, and Cousins R and I filters. In addition, the authors obtained spectra of the ATHDF-S radio sources over two service nights in 2001 July and 2003 October using the multi-fiber 2dF instrument of the Anglo-Australian Telescope (AAT). They acquired low-resolution (9 Angstrom) spectra over the wavelength range from 3800 to 8000 Angstroms. This table was created by the HEASARC in December 2012 based on the <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/AJ/135/2470">CDS Catalog J/AJ/135/2470</a> files table1.dat and table10.dat which contain the entire contents of Tables 1 and 10 from the published paper.

Spitzer Deep Wide-Field Survey Variability Catalog
The Spitzer Deep, Wide-Field Survey (SDWFS) is a four-epoch infrared survey of 10 square degrees in the Boötes field of the NOAO Deep Wide-Field Survey using the IRAC instrument on the Spitzer Space Telescope. SDWFS, a Spitzer Cycle 4 Legacy project, occupies a unique position in the area-depth survey space defined by other Spitzer surveys. The four epochs that make up SDWFS permit - for the first time - the selection of infrared-variable and high proper motion objects over a wide field on timescales of years. Because of its large survey volume, SDWFS is sensitive to galaxies out to z ~ 3 with relatively little impact from cosmic variance for all but the richest systems. The SDWFS data sets will thus be especially useful for characterizing galaxy evolution beyond z ~ 1.5.The SDWFS Variability Catalog presents variability information for all SDWFS sources with a 5-sigma detection at 3.6 microns. For more details, see Kozlowski et al. (2010).
RCW 38 Young Stellar Objects Catalog
This table contains some of the results from a study of the structure of the high-mass star-forming region RCW 38 and the spatial distribution of its young stellar population. Spitzer Infrared Array Camera (IRAC) photometry (3-8 micron) is combined with Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS) near-IR data to identify young stellar objects (YSOs) by IR-excess emission from their circumstellar material. Chandra X-ray data are used to identify class III pre-main-sequence stars lacking circumstellar material. The authors identify 624 YSOs: 23 class 0/I and 90 flat spectrum (FS) protostars, 437 class II stars, and 74 class III stars. They also identify 29 (27 new) O star candidates over the IRAC field. Seventy-two stars exhibit IR-variability, including 7 class 0/I and 12 flat spectrum YSOs. A further 177 tentative candidates are identified by their location in the IRAC [3.6] versus [3.6]-[5.8] color-magnitude diagram. The authors find strong evidence of subclustering in the region. Three subclusters were identified surrounding the central cluster, with massive and variable stars in each subcluster. The central region shows evidence of distinct spatial distributions of the protostars and pre-main-sequence stars. A previously detected IR cluster, DB2001_Obj36, has been established as a subcluster of RCW 38. This suggests that star formation in RCW 38 occurs over a more extended area than previously thought. The gas-to-dust ratio is examined using the X-ray derived hydrogen column density, NH and the K-band extinction, and found to be consistent with the diffuse interstellar medium, in contrast with Serpens and NGC 1333. The authors posit that the high photoionizing flux of massive stars in RCW 38 affects the agglomeration of the dust grains. This table contains the list of 624 young stellar objects (given in Tables 3 and 4 of the reference paper) found among the Spitzer sources in the field of RCW 38 using the two selection techniques described in Section 3 of the reference paper: (1) selection of stars with IR excesses in IR color-color diagrams, and (2) identification of X-ray luminous YSOs by comparing X-ray sources with IR detections. The latter technique was used to identify Type III YSOs lacking emission from a dusty disk. This table does NOT contain (i) the 177 candidate YSOs listed in Table 5 of the reference paper which were identified using the [3.6] versus [3.6] - [5.8] color-magnitude diagram, since contamination removal methods could not be utilized for these objects, (ii) the 24 candidate variable YSOs listed in Table 6 of the reference paper, nor (iii) 21 of the 29 candidate O-star cluster members which were listed in table 7 of the reference paper. This table was created by the HEASARC in January 2012 based on an electronic version of Tables 3 and 4 from the reference paper which were obtained from the ApJ web site.

Spitzer Wide-area InfraRed Extragalactic Survey ELAIS-S1 Optical-IRAC-MIPS24 Catalog
The Spitzer Wide-area InfraRed Extragalactic survey (SWIRE), the largest Spitzer Legacy program, is a wide-area, imaging survey to trace the evolution of dusty, star-forming galaxies, evolved stellar populations, and AGN as a function of environment, from redshifts z~3 to the current epoch. SWIRE surveys 6 high-latitude fields, totaling ~50 sq. deg. in all 7 Spitzer bands: 3.6, 4.5, 5.8, and 8 microns with IRAC and 24, 70, and 160 microns with MIPS (Lonsdale et al. 2003). The SWIRE Legacy Extragalactic Source Catalogs will eventually contain in excess of 2 million IR-selected galaxies, from those dominated by the light of stellar populations detected primarily by IRAC, to starbursts, ultra-luminous infrared galaxies and AGN detected also by MIPS.The main SWIRE catalogs for 24 micron data are the Optical-IRAC-MIPS24 bandmerged catalogs. The bandmerged catalogs require a detection in the shortest IRAC band (3.6 microns). The SWIRE project has produced single-band 24 micron catalogs to cover regions that lie outside the IRAC images, and to include sources that for some reason were not associated with a 3.6 micron detection.
Cosmic Dust Catalog
Since May 1981, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has used aircraft to collect cosmic dust (CD) particles from Earth's stratosphere. Specially designed dust collectors are prepared for flight and processed after flight in an ultraclean (Class-100) laboratory constructed for this purpose at the Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center (JSC) in Houston, Texas. Particles are individually retrieved from the collectors, examined and cataloged, and then made available to the scientific community for research. Cosmic dust thereby joins lunar samples and meteorites as an additional source of extraterrestrial materials for scientific study.
Einstein Catalog HRI CFA Sources
This database table consists of a preliminary source list for the Einstein Observatory's High Resolution Imager (HRI).

Spitzer Wide-area InfraRed Extragalactic Survey ELAIS-N1 MIPS24 Single-Band Catalog
The Spitzer Wide-area InfraRed Extragalactic survey (SWIRE), the largest Spitzer Legacy program, is a wide-area, imaging survey to trace the evolution of dusty, star-forming galaxies, evolved stellar populations, and AGN as a function of environment, from redshifts z~3 to the current epoch. SWIRE surveys 6 high-latitude fields, totaling ~50 sq. deg. in all 7 Spitzer bands: 3.6, 4.5, 5.8, and 8 microns with IRAC and 24, 70, and 160 microns with MIPS (Lonsdale et al. 2003). The SWIRE Legacy Extragalactic Source Catalogs will eventually contain in excess of 2 million IR-selected galaxies, from those dominated by the light of stellar populations detected primarily by IRAC, to starbursts, ultra-luminous infrared galaxies and AGN detected also by MIPS.The main SWIRE catalogs for 24 micron data are the Optical-IRAC-MIPS24 bandmerged catalogs.

Atacama Cosmology Telescope 2008 Survey 148-GHz Extragalactic Source Catalog
This table contains a list of extragalactic radio sources detected in a 455 square-degree map of the southern sky made at a frequency of 148 GHz from the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) 2008 observing season. This catalog has 157 sources with flux densities spanning two orders of magnitude from 15 to 1500 mJy. Comparison to other catalogs shows that 98% of the ACT detections correspond to sources detected at lower radio frequencies. Three of the sources appear to be associated with the brightest cluster galaxies of low redshift X-ray selected galaxy clusters. Estimates of the radio to mm-wave spectral indices and differential counts of the sources further bolster the hypothesis that they are nearly all radio sources, and that their emission is not dominated by re-emission from warm dust. In a bright (>50 mJy) 148 GHz-selected sample with complete cross-identifications from the Australia Telescope 20-GHz survey, the authors of the study observe an average steepening of the spectra between 5, 20, and 148 GHz with median spectral indices of alpha<sub>5-20</sub> = -0.07 +/- 0.06, alpha<sub>20-148</sub> = -0.39 +/- 0.04, and alpha<sub>5-148</sub> = -0.20 +/- 0.03. When the measured spectral indices are taken into account, the 148-GHz differential source counts are consistent with previous measurements at 30 GHz in the context of a source count model dominated by flat spectrum radio sources. Extrapolating with an appropriately rescaled model for the radio source counts, the Poisson contribution to the spatial power spectrum from synchrotron-dominated sources with flux density less than 20 mJy is C<sub>Sync</sub> = (2.8 +/- 0.3) x 10<sup>-6</sup> microKelvin<sup>2</sup>. This table was created by the HEASARC in January 2011 based on an electronic version of Table A1 from the paper (the Point Source Catalog) which was obtained from the LAMBDA website at <a href="http://lambda.gsfc.nasa.gov/product/suborbit/act_prod_table.cfm">http://lambda.gsfc.nasa.gov/product/suborbit/act_prod_table.cfm</a> This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .
All-Sky Optical Catalog of Radio/X-Ray Sources
The Quasars.org (QORG) Catalog is an all-sky optical catalog of radio/X-ray sources. The QORG Catalog aligns and overlays the year 2001/2 releases of the ROSAT HRI, RASS, PSPC and WGA X-ray catalogs, the NVSS (2002), FIRST (2003) and SUMSS (2003) radio catalogs, the Veron QSO catalog (2003) and various galaxy/star reference catalogs onto the optical APM and USNO-A catalogs. This catalog displays calculated percentage probabilities for each optical, radio/X-ray associated object of its likelihood of being a quasar, galaxy, star, or erroneous radio/X-ray association. This table contains the main Master QORG catalog (master.dat) and contains all 501,756 radio/X-ray associated optical objects and known quasars which are optically detected in APM/USNO-A. Up to six radio/X-ray catalog identifications are presented for each optical object, plus any double radio lobes (21,498 of these). These are superimposed (and laterally fitted) onto a 670,925,779-object optical background which combines APM and USNO-A data. Other subsets of this master catalog are available at the CDS, including the Free-Lunch catalog, a concise easy-to-read variant of the Master catalog showcasing just one X-ray and/or radio identification for each object, a subset catalog of QSO candidates, and a subset catalog of known QSOs/galaxies/stars. Objects presented in this catalog are those optical APM/USNO-A objects which are associated with X-ray/radio detections, or any optically-found catalogued QSO/AGN/Bl Lac objects, which have confidence levels >40% of being radio/X-ray emitting optical objects. There are 501,756 objects included in all (including 48,285 catalogued quasars), representing the 99.4% coverage of the sky which is available from the APM and USNO-A. Each object is shown as one entry giving the position in equatorial coordinates, red and blue optical magnitudes (recalibrated) and PSF class, calculated probabilities of the object being, separately, a quasar, galaxy, star, or erroneous radio/X-ray association, any radio identification from each of the NVSS, FIRST and SUMSS surveys, including candidate double-lobe detections, any X-ray identification from each of the ROSAT HRI, RASS, PSPC and WGA surveys, including fluxes and field shifts of those identifications, plus, if already catalogued, the object name and redshift where applicable. The QORG catalog and supporting data can be accessed from the catalog home page at <a href="http://quasars.org/qorg-data.htm">http://quasars.org/qorg-data.htm</a> Questions or comments on the catalog contents may be directed to the first author Eric Flesch at eric@flesch.org.

NGC 6530 Chandra X-Ray Point Source Catalog
In a deep 60 ks Chandra ACIS-I X-ray observation of the very young (~ 1.5 - 2.0 Myr) cluster NGC 6530 on 2001 Jun 18-19, the authors have detected 884 X-ray point sources and argue that a very large fraction of them (90%-95%) must be pre-main-sequence (PMS) cluster members, mostly low-mass stars. This is a significant enlargement of the known NGC 6530 stellar population with respect to previous optical studies, including H-alpha surveys. They identify 220 X-ray sources with catalogued stars down to V = 17, while most unidentified sources have fainter counterparts. Moreover, they find an infrared counterpart in the 2MASS (CDS. No. <II/246>) Catalog for 731 X-ray sources. The optically identified cluster X-ray sources are found in a band in the H-R diagram above the main sequence, in the locus of 0.5 - 1.5 Myr PMS stars, with masses down to 0.5 - 1.5 solar masses (M_sun). The pointing direction for the Chandra observation was the NGC 6530 cluster center at RA = 18^h 04^m 24.38^s, Dec = -24^o 21' 05.8" (J2000.0). The PWDetect algorithm found 884 X-ray point sources in the ACIS-I image above a detection significance threshold chosen to ensure only 1 spurious detection on the average. The Sung et al. (2000, AJ, 120, 333; <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/AJ/120/333">CDS Cat. <J/AJ/120/333></a>) = SCB Catalog of optical objects against which the X-ray point source list was compared doed not cover the easternmost 2.25' of the ACIS FOV (RAs later than 18^h 04^m 52^s), notice, which comprises about 13% of the ACIS FOV. There are 46 detected X-ray sources (5.2% of the total) in the area not covered by the SCB Catalog. A matching distance of 4 times the X-ray error radius or 2.0" (whichever is greater) was used to identify optical counterparts to the X-ray sources, after a systematic shift between the X-ray and optical positions of -0.4" and 1.84" in RA and declination, respectively, was applied. The authors estimate that as many as 28 of their 220 optical identifications may be spurious, preferentially those in the outer parts of the FOV where the positional uncertainties are larger. There are 8792 'good' 2MASS sources in the ACIS FOV. A matching distance of 4 times the X-ray error radius or 1.5" (whichever is greater) was used to identify 2MASS counterparts to the X-ray sources, after systematic corrections of 0.3" and 1.75" in RA and declination, respectively, were applied to the 'raw' X-ray positions. There are 13 cases where there are two possible IR counterparts to a single X-ray source, and 2 cases where there are three possible IR Counterparts to a single X-ray source. (Notice that, in such cases, this table contains multiple entries, one for each counterpart, and hence there are 901 entries compared to 884 X-ray sources.) The authors conclude that the plausible number of spurious X-ray-2MASS identifications is between 30 and 50. Overall, there remain 146 X-ray sources with no optical or IR identification.

LkH-alpha 101 Star Formation Region Chandra X-Ray Point Source Catalog
This table contains some of the results from a multi-wavelength study of a partially embedded region of star formation centered on the Herbig Be star LkH-alpha 101. Using two 40 ks Chandra observations, The authors have detected 213 X-ray sources in the ~ 17' x 17' ACIS-I field. They combine the X-ray data with Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS) near-IR observations and Spitzer Space Telescope (SST) IRAC and MIPS 24-micron observations to obtain a complete picture of the cluster. A total of 158 of the X-ray sources have infrared counterparts. Of these, the authors find nine protostars, 48 Class II objects, five transition objects, and 72 Class III objects. From the Spitzer data, they identify an additional 10 protostars, 53 Class II objects, and four transition disk candidates which are not detected by Chandra. (These objects are not included in this HEASARC table which contains the multi-wavelength data for only the 213 detected X-ray sources). The authors obtained optical spectra of a sample of both X-ray-detected and non-X-ray-detected objects. Combining the X-ray, Spitzer, and spectral data, they obtain independent estimates of cluster distance and the total cluster size - excluding protostars. The authors obtain consistent distance estimates of 510 (+100,-40) pc and a total cluster size of 255 (+50,-25) stars. They find the Class II:III ratio is about 5:7 with some evidence that the Class III sources are spatially more dispersed. The cluster appears very young with three sites of active star formation and a median age of about 1 Myr. The field was observed by Chandra on 2005 March 6 starting at 17:16 UT for 40.2 ks of total time and 39.6 ks of the so-called good time (Chandra ObsID 5429). It was observed again on 2005 March 8 starting at 17:43 UT for essentially the same duration (Chandra ObsID 5428). The ACIS was used in the nominal imaging array (chips I0-I3) which provides a field of view of approximately 17' x 17'. The aimpoint was at RA, Dec = 04:30:14.4, +35:16:22.2 (J2000.0) with a roll angle of 281 degrees. In addition, the S2 and S3 chips were active; however, the analysis of these data is not presented here. For purposes of point-source detection, the data from the two observations were merged into a single event list following established CIAO procedures to create a merged event list. To identify point sources, photons with energies below 300 eV and above 8.0 keV were filtered out from this merged event list. This excluded energies which generally lack a stellar contribution. By filtering the data as described, contributions from hard, non-stellar sources such as X-ray binaries and active galactic nuclei (AGNs) are attenuated, as is noise. A monochromatic exposure map was generated in the standard way using an energy of 1.49 keV which is a reasonable match to the expected peak energy of the stellar sources and the Chandra mirror transmission. The CIAO tool WavDetect was then run on a series of flux-corrected images binned by 1, 2, and 4 pixels. The output source lists were combined and this resulted in the detection of 231 sources. The authors defined false detections as any sources with < 4 net counts or any sources more than 5' off-axis with < 7 net counts. By this definition, 18 of the 231 detections were rejected as false detections. A post facto check confirmed that none of these (spurious) sources had an infrared counterpart.

BeppoSAX High-Energy Large Area Survey (HELLAS) Radio Source Catalog
This table contains results of a complete radio follow-up obtained with the VLA and ATCA radio telescopes down to a 6-cm flux limit of about 0.3 mJy (3-sigma) of all the 147 X-ray sources detected in the BeppoSAX HELLAS survey (Fiore et al. 2001, MNRAS, 327, 771). The authors found 53 X-ray/radio likely associations, corresponding to about one-third of the X-ray sample. Using the two-point spectral index alpha<sub>ro</sub> = 0.35 they divided all the HELLAS X-ray sources into radio-quiet and radio-loud. They have 26 sources classified as radio-loud objects, corresponding to 18 per cent of the HELLAS sample. In agreement with previous results, the identified radio-loud sources are associated mainly with Type 1 active galactic nuclei (AGNs) with L<sub>5-10keV</sub> >~ 10<sup>44</sup> erg/s, while all the identified Type 2 AGNs and emission-line galaxies are radio-quiet objects with L<sub>5-10keV</sub> <~ 10<sup>44</sup> erg/s. The 20 HELLAS sources with Declinations south of -40<sup>o</sup> were observed with the ATCA, while the 127 sources with more northerly Declinations were observed with the VLA. For these latter sources a complete covering at 20 cm down to the 5-sigma flux limit of 2.5 mJy is already available with the NRAO/VLA Sky Survey (NVSS) while the FIRST survey (Faint Images of the Radio Sky at Twenty centimeters) is available only for 27 HELLAS sources (5-sigma limit of ~ 1 mJy).In order to obtain information also on the radio spectral properties of the HELLAS sources the authors adopted the following strategy. All the 147 HELLAS sources were observed at 6 cm down to a 1 -sigma flux limit of ~ 0.10 - 0.25 mJy. For the 20 HELLAS sources observed with the ATCA, they took advantage of the fact that the 6 and 3 cm receivers of the ATCA share a common feed-horn and they observed simultaneously also at 3 cm, obtaining a 3-cm flux limit of ~ 0.22 mJy (1-sigma level). Starting from the radio position of the 53 X-ray/radio associations, the authors searched for optical counterparts within 5 arcseconds from the radio position using the optical positions of the 61 HELLAS sources identified by La Franca et al. (2002, ApJ, 570, 100 = LF02), the USNO-A2.0 1 optical catalog, the APM 2 optical catalog and the NASA Extragalactic Database (NED). 24 X-ray/radio associations have been identified with sources in LF02 (10 Type 1 AGN, 4 Type 2 AGN, 2 BL Lacs, 3 Clusters, 4 ELGs and 1 Radio galaxy), 1 has been identified with a z = 0.708 Radio galaxy in the Lockman Hole using NED (see Table 2 source 116 in Lehmann et al. 2000, A&A, 354, 35 for a description of this source), 13 have an optical (R-band) identification in the USNO and/or APM catalogue while 15 X-ray/radio associations do not have an optical identification brighter than R=20. This table was created by the HEASARC in July 2014 based on <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/MNRAS/342/575">CDS Catalog J/MNRAS/342/575</a> file table1.dat. There was a minor update to the HEASARC's implementation in June 2022 to make the two probability parameters into unitless quantities for improved clarity.

NGC 752 XMM-Newton X-Ray Point Source Catalog
This table provides a list of X-ray sources detected in a ~50 ks XMM-Newton X-ray observation of the open cluster NGC 752. For the sources with 2MASS counterparts, the values of their magnitudes in the J, H and K bands are also given. Additionally, for the sources with a Chandra counterpart (within a search radius of 5 arcsec), the values of their Chandra source number (as given in the related Browse table NGC752CXO) are also given. Very little is known about the evolution of stellar activity between the ages of the Hyades (0.8 Gyr) and the Sun (4.6 Gyr). To gain information on the typical level of coronal activity at a star's intermediate age, the authors have studied the X-ray emission from stars in the 1.9 Gyr-old open cluster NGC 752. They analyzed a ~ 140 ks Chandra observation of NGC 752 and a ~50 ks XMM-Newton observation of the same cluster. They detected 262 X-ray sources in the Chandra data and 145 sources in the XMM-Newton observation. Around 90% of the catalogued cluster members within Chandra's field of view are detected in the X-ray observation. The X-ray luminosity of all observed cluster members (28 stars) and of 11 cluster member candidates was derived. These data indicate that, at an age of 1.9 Gyr, the typical X-ray luminosity L<sub>x</sub> of the cluster members with masses of 0.8 to 1.2 solar masses is 1.3 x 10<sup>28</sup> erg s<sup>-1</sup>, which is approximately a factor of 6 times less intense than that observed in the younger Hyades. Given that L<sub>x</sub> is proportional to the square of a star's rotational rate, the median L<sub>x</sub> of NGC 752 is consistent, for t >= 1 Gyr, with a decaying rate in rotational velocities v<sub>rot</sub> ~ t<sup>-alpha</sup> with alpha ~ 0.75, steeper than the Skumanich relation (alpha ~ 0.5) and significantly steeper than that observed between the Pleiades and the Hyades (where alpha <0.3), suggesting that a change in the rotational regimes of the stellar interiors is taking place at an age of ~ 1 Gyr. NGC 752 was observed for 49 ks by the XMM-Newton EPIC camera on February 5, 2003 starting at 23:29:25 UT, and the nominal pointing was towards J2000.0 RA and Declination of (01:57:38, +37:47:60), thus the XMM-Newton field-of-view (FOV) includes the Chandra FOV. For the source detection, the authors used the PWXDETECT code developed at Palermo Observatory and derived from the analogous Chandra PWDETECT code based on wavelet transform analysis. This allows the three EPIC exposures (PN, MOS1 and MOS2) to be combined in order to gain a deeper sensitivity with respect to the source detection based on single images. There were 145 point sources detected in the energy band 0.5 - 2.0 keV. An extended source (not listed in this present table), very likely a galaxy cluster, is also visible in the EPIC data. The authors searched for 2MASS counterparts to the XMM-Newton sources using a search radius of 5 arcsec and found a counterpart for 38 sources. As for the Chandra data, all sources with a visible counterpart from DLM94 have also a 2MASS counterpart, so this leaves 15 XMM-Newton sources with a 2MASS counterpart and no counterpart in Daniel et al. (1994, PASP, 106, 281); of these, 3 were also detected by Chandra; of the other 12, 10 are outside the Chandra FOV, while two are within it (XMM-Newton sources 58 and 65). Source 65 was caught by XMM-Newton during the decay phase of a flare, which explains why it is not detected in the Chandra data. For source 58 there is no immediate explanation for this, since the light curve does not show evidence of a flare. No additional near-IR counterpart to the XMM-Newton sources was found within the Point Source Reject Table of the 2MASS Extended Mission. This table was created by the HEASARC in October 2008 based on the electronic version of Table 7 from the reference paper which was obtained from the CDS website, i.e., their catalog J/A+A/490/113 file table7.dat.

Updated Nearby Galaxy Catalog
This table contains an all-sky catalog of 869 nearby galaxies having individual distance estimates within 11 Mpc or corrected radial velocities relative to the Local Group centroid V<sub>LG</sub> < 600 km s<sup>-1</sup>. The catalog is a renewed and expanded version of the previous Catalog of Neighboring Galaxies by Karachentsev et al. (2004, AJ, 127, 2031). It collects data on the following galaxy observables: angular diameters, apparent magnitudes in the far-UV, B, and K<sub>s</sub> bands, H-alpha and H I fluxes, morphological types, H I-line widths, radial velocities, and distance estimates. In this Local Volume (LV) sample, 108 dwarf galaxies still remain without measured radial velocities. The catalog also lists calculated global galaxy parameters: the linear Holmberg diameters, absolute B magnitudes, surface brightnesses, H I masses, stellar masses estimated via K-band luminosity, H I rotational velocities corrected for galaxy inclination, indicative masses within the Holmberg radius, and three kinds of "tidal index" which quantify the local density environment. In the reference paper, the authors briefly discuss the Hubble flow within the LV and different scaling relations that characterize galaxy structure and global star formation in them. They also trace the behavior of the mean stellar mass density, H I-mass density, and star formation rate density within the volume considered. This table was created by the HEASARC in June 2013 based on electronic versions of Tables 1 and 2 from the reference paper which were obtained form the AJ web site.
