Spitzer Deep Wide-Field Survey 8 micron Epoch 1 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 delivery consists of four band-matched catalogs for each of the four epochs and for the total SDWFS coadd data, a total of 20 catalogs. Vega magnitudes are reported for each IRAC band: 3.6, 4.5, 5.8, and 8 microns. Each source was measured three ways: 4 arcsec diameter aperture, 6 arcsec diameter aperture, and Kron radius aperture (MAG_AUTO in SExtractor). Source coordinates correspond to 2MASS catalog positions to within 0.2 arcsec. The tabulated uncertainties are twice the SExtractor (statistical only) uncertainties as an attempt to account for systematic uncertainties.
MMS 2 Search Coil Magnetometer (SCM) AC Magnetic Field Level 2 (L2), Survey Mode, 32 Sample/s Data
Search Coil Magnetometer (SCM) AC Magnetic Field (32 samples/s), Level 2, Survey Mode Data. The tri-axial Search-Coil Magnetometer with its associated preamplifier measures three-dimensional magnetic field fluctuations. The analog magnetic waveforms measured by the SCM are digitized and processed inside the Digital Signal Processor (DSP), collected and stored by the Central Instrument Data Processor (CIDP) via the Fields Central Electronics Box (CEB). Prior to launch, all SCM Flight models were calibrated by LPP team members at the National Magnetic Observatory, Chambon-la-Foret (Orleans). Once per orbit, each SCM transfer function is checked thanks to the onboard calibration signal provided by the DSP. The SCM is operated for the entire MMS orbit in survey mode. Within scientific Regions Of Interest (ROI), burst mode data are also acquired as well as high speed burst mode data. This SCM data set corresponds to the AC magnetic field waveforms in nanoTesla and in the GSE frame. The SCM instrument paper can be found at http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11214-014-0096-9 and the SCM data product guide at https://lasp.colorado.edu/mms/sdc/public/datasets/fields/.
Spitzer Deep Wide-Field Survey 3.6 micron Epoch 1 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.

Chandra Extended Deep Field South Survey Point Source Catalog
This table contains the combined point-source catalogs for the Extended Chandra Deep Field- South (E-CDF-S) survey. The E-CDF-S consists of four contiguous 250 ks Chandra observations covering an approximately square region of total solid angle ~0.3 square degrees, which flank the existing ~1 Ms Chandra Deep Field-South (CDF-S). The survey reaches sensitivity limits of ~1.1 x 10<sup>-16</sup> and ~6.7 x 10<sup>-16</sup> ergs cm<sup>-2</sup> s<sup>-1</sup> for the 0.5-2.0 and 2-8 keV bands, respectively. 762 distinct X-ray point sources are detected within the E-CDF-S exposure; 589 of these sources are new (i.e., not previously detected in the ~1 Ms CDF-S). This brings the total number of X-ray point sources detected in the E-CDF-S region to 915 (via the E-CDF-S and ~1 Ms CDF-S observations). Source positions are determined using matched-filter and centroiding techniques; the median positional uncertainty is ~0.35". The basic X-ray and optical properties of these sources indicate a variety of source types, although absorbed active galactic nuclei (AGNs) seem to dominate. In addition to the main Chandra catalog, this table contains the supplementary source catalog with 33 lower-significance X-ray point sources that have bright optical counterparts (R < 23 mag). These sources generally have X-ray-to-optical flux ratios expected for normal and starburst galaxies, which lack a strong AGN component. The basic number-count results for the main Chandra catalog are in good agreement with the ~1 Ms CDF-S for sources with 0.5-2.0 and 2-8 keV fluxes greater than 3 x 10<sup>-16</sup> and 1 x 10<sup>-15</sup> ergs cm<sup>-2</sup> s<sup>-1</sup>, respectively. This HEASARC table contains 809 entries: 762 entries corresponding to the 762 sources listed in the main catalog (Table 2 of the published paper), 14 sources from the cross-field source list (Table 3) which give properties for sources which were detected in more than one observational sources, e.g. there are two entries for the source with source_number = 367, one entry coming from the main catalog, the other entry from the cross-field catalog, and 33 entries corresponding to the 33 sources in the supplementary, optically bright source catalog (Table 6). The HEASARC has created a new parameter called source_type to identify from which of these 3 original tables any given entry comes from; it is set to 'main', 'crossfield' and 'supplement' for entries from Tables 2, 3, and 6, respectively. This online catalog was created by the HEASARC in January 2006 based on machine-readable versions of tables 2, 3, and 6 from the paper which were obtained from the ApJ website.

Spitzer Wide-area InfraRed Extragalactic Survey Lockman Hole ISOCAM Deep Field MIPS 24 micron 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 SWIRE Lockman Hole ISOCAM Deep Field Catalog presents MIPS 24 micron measurements of the sources detected at 14.3 micron in the Lockman Hole Deep Survey by ISO. For more details on the Lockman Hole ISOCAM Deep Survey, see Rodighiero et al. (2004).
ROSAT All-Sky Survey Two Selected Fields X-Ray Source Catalog
The optical identification of large number of X-ray sources such as those from the ROSAT All-Sky Survey is challenging with conventional spectroscopic follow-up observations. The authors have investigated two ROSAT All-Sky Survey fields of size 10 degrees by 10 degrees each, one at a galactic latitude b = 83<sup>o</sup> (26 Com), the other at b=-5<sup>o</sup> (gamma Sge), in order to optically identify the majority of sources. They used optical variability, among other more standard methods, as a means of identifying a large number of ROSAT All- Sky Survey sources. All objects fainter than about 12th magnitude and brighter than about 17th magnitude in or near the error circle of the ROSAT positions were tested for optical variability on hundreds of archival plates of the Sonneberg field patrol. The reference paper contains probable optical identifications of altogether 256 of the 370 ROSAT sources analyzed. In particular, the authors found 126 active galactic nuclei (some of them may be misclassified cataclysmic variables, CVs), 17 likely clusters of galaxies, 16 eruptive double stars (mostly CVs), 43 chromospherically active stars, 65 stars brighter than about 13th magnitude, 7 UV Ceti stars, 3 semi-regular or slow irregular variable stars of late spectral type, 2 DA white dwarfs, 1 Am star, 1 supernova remnant, and 1 planetary nebula. As expected, nearly all active galactic nuclei are found in the high-galactic latitude field, while the majority of CVs is located at low galactic latitudes. The authors identify in total 72 new variable objects. X-ray emission is, not unexpectedly, tightly correlated with optical variability, and thus their new method for optically identifying X-ray sources is demonstrated to be feasible. Given the large number of optical plates used, this method was most likely not more efficient than, for example, optical spectroscopy. However, it required no telescope time, only access to archival data. This table contains the X-ray properties of the 370 ROSAT point sources found by the authors in the 2 fields that they examined above a maximum likelihood threshold of 8. It is essentially the union of the 238 sources which were listed in Table 1 (26 Com field) of the reference paper with the 132 sources listed in Table 2 (gamma Sge field) of that paper. Notice that the source detection criterion for the ROSAT All-Sky Survey (RASS: 1RXS Catalog) had a slightly higher threshold of 10, so that the present source list is more extensive than the 1RXS Catalog source list in these two areas. The lists of the optical counterparts to these X-ray sources and their spectroscopic and photometric properties which were given in Table 8 (26 Com field) of the reference paper and Table 9 (gamma Sge field) of that paper are available in the HEASARC table RASS2FOID (to which the present table is linked). This table was created by the HEASARC in April 2015 based on <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/A+A/575/A42">CDS catalog J/A+A/575/A42</a> files table1.dat and table2.dat.

ROSAT All-Sky Survey Two Selected Fields Optical Identifications Catalog
The optical identification of large number of X-ray sources such as those from the ROSAT All-Sky Survey is challenging with conventional spectroscopic follow-up observations. The authors have investigated two ROSAT All-Sky Survey fields of size 10 degrees by 10 degrees each, one at a galactic latitude b = 83<sup>o</sup> (26 Com), the other at b = -5<sup>o</sup> (gamma Sge), in order to optically identify the majority of sources. They used optical variability, among other more standard methods, as a means of identifying a large number of ROSAT All- Sky Survey sources. All objects fainter than about 12th magnitude and brighter than about 17th magnitude in or near the error circle of the ROSAT positions were tested for optical variability on hundreds of archival plates of the Sonneberg field patrol. The reference paper contains probable optical identifications of altogether 256 of the 370 ROSAT sources analyzed.

As expected, nearly all active galactic nuclei are found in the high-galactic latitude field, while the majority of CVs is located at low galactic latitudes.

Given the large number of optical plates used, this method was most likely not more efficient than, for example, optical spectroscopy. However, it required no telescope time, only access to archival data. This table contains the optical spectroscopic and photometric properties of the 722 possible optical counterparts to the 370 ROSAT point sources found by the authors in the 2 examined fields above a maximum likelihood threshold of 8. It is essentially the union of the 314 counterparts which were listed in Table 8 (26 Com field) of the reference paper with the 408 counterparts listed in Table 9 (gamma Sge field) of that paper. We have removed 12 entries from Table 8 for which no optical counterpart was found (1033, 1050, 1060, 1085, 1091, 1103, 1129, 1166, 1177, 1190, 1217 and 1237), 1 additional entry from the same table (1071) where the X-ray emission is more likely associated with galaxy cluster gas emission rather than an individual galaxy in that cluster, and 7 entries from Table 9 (source numbers 2087-2091 and 2093-2094 which are detections of flux enhancements of an extended supernova remnant (SNR 053.6-02.2), for a total of 20 removed, since none of these entries had any positional or optical data given in the original tables. The combined lists of the X-ray sources which were given in Table 1 (26 Com field) of the reference paper and Table 2 (gamma Sge field) of that paper are available in the HEASARC table <a href="/W3Browse/rosat/rass2fxray.html">RASS2FXRAY</a> (to which the present table is linked).

Allen Telescope Array Pi GHz Sky Survey (PiGSS) Boo Field Source Catalog
The Pi GHz Sky Survey (PiGSS) is a key project of the Allen Telescope Array (ATA). PiGSS is a 3.1 GHz survey of radio continuum emission in the extragalactic sky with an emphasis on synoptic observations that measure the static and time-variable properties of the sky. During the 2.5 year campaign, PiGSS will twice observe ~250,000 radio sources in the 10,000 deg<sup>2</sup> region of the sky with b > 30 degrees to an rms sensitivity of ~1 mJy. Additionally, sub-regions of the sky will be observed multiple times to characterize variability on timescales of days to years. Presented here are the results from observations of a 10 deg<sup>2</sup> region in the Bootes constellation overlapping the NOAO Deep Wide Field Survey field. The PiGSS image was constructed from 75 daily observations distributed over a 4 month period and has an rms flux density between 200 and 250 µJy. This represents a deeper image by a factor of 4-8 than the authors will achieve over the entire 10,000 deg<sup>2</sup>. In this table, they provide flux densities, source sizes, and spectral indices for the 425 sources detected in the image. They identify ~100 new flat-spectrum radio sources, and project that, when completed, PiGSS will identify 104 flat-spectrum sources. In their paper the authors identify one source that is a possible transient radio source. This survey provides new limits on faint radio transients and variables with characteristic durations of months. This table was created by the HEASARC in March 2011 based on electronic versions of Tables 2 and 4 from the reference paper which were obtained from the ApJ web site. The HEASARC changed the sign of the values of the last parameter in Table 4 (herein called spectral_index_3_error) from negative to positive. In March 2013, after receiving a clarification from Steve Croft, the HEASARC corrected the names of the 4 parameters describing the source sizes (to reflect the fact that they were diameters nor radii) to major_axis, minor_axis, fit_major_axis and fit_minor_axis.

Spitzer Deep Wide-Field Survey 3.6 micron Combined 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 delivery consists of four band-matched catalogs for each of the four epochs and for the total SDWFS coadd data, a total of 20 catalogs. Vega magnitudes are reported for each IRAC band: 3.6, 4.5, 5.8, and 8 microns. Each source was measured three ways: 4 arcsec diameter aperture, 6 arcsec diameter aperture, and Kron radius aperture (MAG_AUTO in SExtractor). Source coordinates correspond to 2MASS catalog positions to within 0.2 arcsec. The tabulated uncertainties are twice the SExtractor (statistical only) uncertainties as an attempt to account for systematic uncertainties.
BETA Pilot Multi-Epoch Continuum Survey of Spitzer SPT Deep Field
The Boolardy Engineering Test Array (BETA) is a 6 x 12m-dish interferometer and the prototype of the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP), equipped with the first generation of ASKAP's phased array feed (PAF) receivers. These facilitate rapid wide-area imaging via the deployment of simultaneous multiple beams within an ~30 deg<sup>2</sup> field of view. By cycling the array through 12 interleaved pointing positions and using nine digitally formed beams, the authors have effectively mimicked a traditional 1 hours x 108 pointing survey, covering ~150 deg<sup>2</sup> over 711-1015 MHz in just 12 hours of observing time. Three such observations were executed over the course of a week. The authors verified the full bandwidth continuum imaging performance and stability of the system via self-consistency checks and comparisons to existing radio data. The combined three epoch image has arcminute resolution and a 1-sigma thermal noise level of 375 µJy/beam, although the effective noise is a factor of ~3 higher due to residual sidelobe confusion. From this, the authors have derived a catalog of 3,722 discrete radio components, using the 35% fractional bandwidth to measure in-band spectral indices for 1037 of them. A search for transient events reveals one significantly variable source within the survey area. The survey covers approximately two-thirds of the Spitzer South Pole Telescope (SPT) Deep Field. This pilot project demonstrates the viability and potential of using PAFs to rapidly and accurately survey the sky at radio wavelengths. The target field was observed with BETA on three separate occasions as part of the commissioning and verification of the instrument. The telescope delivers 304 MHz of instantaneous bandwidth and for these observations the sky frequency range was 711-1015 MHz, corresponding to a fractional bandwidth of 35%. The data were captured with a frequency resolution of 18.5 kHz, using 16,416 frequency channels across the band. The PYBDSM source finder was used to extract a component catalog from the deep mosaic image formed from a combination of all epochs and sub-bands. Components were fit to islands of emission that had a peak brightness of >5 sigma and an island boundary threshold of >3 sigma, where sigma is the local estimate of the background noise level. Component spectral indices were assigned by matching positions at which spectral indices were successfully fit (Section 4.5 of the reference paper). Following the excision of some spurious detections at the noisy edge of the mosaic, the final catalog contains 3,722 components, 1,037 of which have in-band spectral index measurements. This table was created by the HEASARC in March 2017 based on <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/MNRAS/457/4160">CDS Catalog J/MNRAS/457/4160</a> file table3.dat, the list of source components found in the ASKAP-BETA Survey covering two-thirds of the Spitzer SPT Deep Field.

NuSTAR Survey of Extended Chandra Deep Field South (ECDF-S) Source Catalog
This table contains the source catalog from the Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR) survey of the Extended Chandra Deep Field South (hereafter, ECDFS), that is currently the deepest contiguous component of the NuSTAR extragalactic survey program. The survey covers the full ~30' x 30' area of this field to a maximum depth of ~360 ks (~220 ks when corrected for vignetting at 3 - 24 keV), reaching sensitivity limits of ~1.3 x 10<sup>-14</sup> erg/s/cm<sup>2</sup> (3 - 8 keV), ~3.4 x 10<sup>-14</sup> erg/s/cm<sup>2</sup> (8 - 24 keV), and ~3.0 x 10<sup>-14</sup> erg/s/cm<sup>2</sup> (3 - 24 keV). A total of 54 sources are detected over the full field, although five of these are found to lie below our significance threshold once contaminating flux from neighboring (i.e., blended) sources is taken into account. Of the remaining 49 that are significant, 19 are detected in the 8 - 24 keV band. The 8 - 24 to 3 - 8 keV band ratios of the 12 sources that are detected in both bands span the range 0.39 - 1.7, corresponding to a photon index (Gamma) range of about 0.5 - 2.3, with a median photon index of 1.70 +/- 0.52. The redshifts of the 49 sources in the main sample span the range z = 0.21 - 2.7, and their rest-frame 10 - 40 keV luminosities (derived from the observed 8 - 24 keV fluxes) span the range L<sub>10-40keV</sub> ~ (0.7 - 300) x 10<sup>43</sup>erg/s, sampling below the "knee" of the X-ray luminosity function out to z ~ 0.8 - 1. Finally, the authors identify one NuSTAR source that has neither a Chandra nor an XMM-Newton counterpart, but that shows evidence of nuclear activity at infrared wavelengths and thus may represent a genuine, new X-ray source detected by NuSTAR in the ECDFS. The NuSTAR ECDFS survey consists of observations from two separate passes. Observations making up the first pass were taken between 2012 September and December, and those making up the second pass were taken roughly six months later, between 2013 March and April. For their cosmological calculations, the authors adopt a Hubble constant H<sub>0</sub> of 71 km s<sup>-1</sup> Mpc <sup>-1</sup>, Omega<sub>M</sub> of 0.27, and Omega<sub>Lambda</sub> of 0.73. This table was created by the HEASARC in September 2017 based on the <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/ApJ/808/184">CDS Catalog J/ApJ/808/184</a> file catalog.dat.

Spitzer Extragalactic First Look Survey IRAC Ch2 Verification Field Catalog
The Extragalactic First Look Survey is composed of 4 square degrees of imaging with MIPS and IRAC centered at J1718+5930, with extensive ancillary data from ground-based optical and radio telescopes. As one of the first observations made with Spitzer after the completion of Science Verification at the end of 2003 November, the aim of this 67 hr survey was to characterize the extragalactic source populations observed with Spitzer down to sub-millijansky levels in the mid-infrared.
XMM-Newton Survey Catalog in the Herschel-ATLAS Field
Wide area X-ray and far-infrared surveys are a fundamental tool to investigate the link between AGN growth and star formation, especially in the low-redshift universe (z < 1). The Herschel-Astrophysical Terahertz Large Area Survey (H-ATLAS) has covered 550 deg<sup>2</sup> in five far-infrared and sub-mm bands, 16 deg<sup>2</sup> of which have been presented in the Science Demonstration Phase (SDP) catalogue. The reference paper cited below introduces the XMM-Newton observations in the H-ATLAS SDP area, covering 7.1 deg<sup>2</sup> with flux limits of 2 x 10<sup>-15</sup>, 6 x 10<sup>-15</sup>, and 9 x 10<sup>-15</sup> erg/s/cm<sup>2</sup> in the 0.5-2, 0.5-8 and 2-8keV bands, respectively. The paper presents the source detection techniques and the "main" catalog, which includes 1700, 1582 and 814 sources detected by EMLDetect in the 0.5-8, 0.5-2 and 2-8keV bands, respectively; the number of unique sources is 1816. The authors extract spectra and derive fluxes from power-law fits for 398 sources with more than 40 counts in the 0.5-8 keV band. They compare the best-fit fluxes with those in the catalog, which were obtained assuming a common photon index Gamma of 1.7; the authors find no bulk difference between the fluxes, and a moderate dispersion s of 0.33 dex. Using wherever possible the fluxes from the spectral fits, the authors derive the 2-10 keV Log N-Log S distribution, which is consistent with a Euclidean distribution. Finally, they release the computer code for the tools which they developed for this project. Sources were detected with a two-stage process. With the first pass at low significance, the authors got a list of candidate detections; and on the second pass they raised the significance threshold and derived accurate source parameters. Between the two passes, and because the second pass needs an input catalog, they identified the sources detected in more than one band. In the first pass, the SAS wavelet detection program ewavelet was run separately on each of the 0.5-2, 2-8 and 0.5-8 keV images of the entire mosaic, with a significance threshold of 4 sigma and the default wavelet scales (minimum 2 pixels, maximum 8 pixels, with a pixel size of 4). All parameters in this catalog which were derived from ewavelet have been given a prefix of 'wav' in this HEASARC representation so as to distinguish them from the parameters derived using EMLDetect. In the second pass, the authors used the SAS EMLDetect program to validate the detections, refine the coordinates and obtain maximum-likelihood estimates of the source counts, count rates and fluxes. The EMLDetect minimum likelihood was set at L = 4.6, as in Ranalli et al. (2013, A&A, 555, A42), which corresponds to a false-detection probability of 1.01 x 10<sup>-2</sup>. Together with the 4-sigma threshold for ewavelet, for the final catalog this yields a joint significance between 4 sigma and 5 sigma, but which cannot be further constrained without simulations. This table contains the X-ray sources which were detected in the 7.1 deg<sup>2</sup> XMM-Newton observations of the H-ATLAS field. The 1816 sources which were detected by both programs were presented in the main table in the reference paper (and are included in this HEASARC table where they are indicated by a value of the source_sample parameter of 'main'), while the 234 sources which were only detected by ewavelet were presented in the supplementary table in the reference paper (and are included in this HEASARC table where they are indicated by a value of the source_sample parameter of 'supp'). The same parameters were present in both the main and supplementary tables in the reference paper, but those parameters which came from EMLDetect are empty for the sources in the supplementary table. The parameters obtained using ewavelet (those parameters with the 'wav' prefix in their names) containing the source properties (counts, count rates, fluxes, exposure times, background, wavelet detection scale and source extent), while reported in this table for all sources, are actually only interesting for supplementary sources, according to the authors. This table was created by the HEASARC in May 2015 based on the union of <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/A+A/577/A121">CDS Catalog J/A+A/577/A121</a> files main.dat (which contain 1816 sources detected by both detection algorithms) and suppl.dat (which contains 234 'supplementary' sources detected only by the wavelet detection algorithm ewavelet). It thus contains a total of 2050 sources. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .
Allen Telescope Array Pi GHz Sky Survey (PiGSS) Deep Fields Source Catalog
This table contains results from a total of 459 repeated 3.1-GHz radio continuum observations (of which 379 were used in a search for transient sources) of the ELAIS-N1, Coma, Lockman Hole, and NOAO Deep Wide Field Survey (NDWFS) fields as part of the Allen Telescope Array (ATA) Pi GHz Sky Survey (PiGSS). The observations were taken in 2 simultaneous 100-MHz wide bands centered at 3.04 and 3.14 GHz approximately once per day between 2009 May and 2011 April. Each image covers 11.8 square degrees and has 100" FWHM resolution. Deep images for each of the four fields have rms noise between 180 and 310 µJy (µJy), and the corresponding catalogs contain ~200 sources in each field. Typically 40-50 of these sources are detected in each single-epoch image. This represents one of the shortest cadence, largest area, multi-epoch surveys undertaken at these frequencies. The authors compared the catalogs generated from the combined images to those from individual epochs, and from monthly averages, as well as to legacy surveys. They undertook a search for transients, with particular emphasis on excluding false positive sources,but find no confirmed transients, defined here as sources that can be shown to have varied by at least a factor of 10. However, the authors found one source that brightened in a single-epoch image to at least six times the upper limit from the corresponding deep image. They also found a source associated with a z = 0.6 quasar which appears to have brightened by a factor ~3 in one of their deep images, when compared to catalogs from legacy surveys. The authors place new upper limits on the number of transients brighter than 10 mJy: fewer than 0.08 transients deg<sup>-2</sup> with characteristic timescales of months to years; fewer than 0.02 deg<sup>-2</sup> with timescales of months; and fewer than 0.009 deg<sup>-2</sup> with timescales of days. In this study, the authors accepted only as real sources those that are independently detected in both frequencies in at least one epoch (with a position matching tolerance of 50", corresponding to a false match probability of <2%). Their threshold of ~ 4.2 sigma for detection in a single image corresponds to a threshold of ~ 5.9 sigma in the dual-image catalog. They generated catalogs for the deep fields, consisting only of sources detected at both frequencies, and these are contained in the present HEASARC table. Notice that the authors previously published a list of 425 radio sources in the NDWFS field in the constellation of Bootes in an earlier paper (Bower et al 2010, ApJ, 725, 1792, available as the HEASARC database table PIGSSBOOFD). In the 2013 paper, they have performed a partial re-analysis of these data to conform with the updated analysis techniques used on the other three fields. This table was created by the HEASARC in March 2013 based on electronic versions of Tables 2, 3, 4 and 5 (source lists for each of the 4 fields, ELAIS N1, Lockman, Coma, and NDWFS, respectively) from the reference paper which were obtained from the ApJ web site. The HEASARC has created a new parameter called field_name which identifies in which table/field the source can be found. Thus, to select only sources in the Lockman Hole field, the user should select field_name= 'Lockman'. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .
DEEP2 Galaxy Redshift Survey Fields Chandra Point Source Catalog
This table contains the X-ray point-source catalog produced from the Chandra Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer (ACIS-I) observations of the combined ~3.2 deg<sup>2</sup> DEEP2 (XDEEP2) survey fields, which consist of four ~ 0.7 - 1.1 deg<sup>2</sup> fields. The combined total exposures across all four XDEEP2 fields range from ~ 10 ks to 1.1 Ms. The authors detect X-ray point sources in both the individual ACIS-I observations and the overlapping regions in the merged (stacked) images. They find a total of 2976 unique X-ray sources within the survey area with an expected false-source contamination of ~ 30 sources (<~ 1%). In their paper, the authors present the combined log N-log S distribution of sources detected across the XDEEP2 survey fields and find good agreement with the Extended Chandra Deep Field and Chandra-COSMOS fields to f_(X,0.5-2keV)_ ~ 2 x 10<sup>-16</sup> erg cm<sup>-1</sup> s<sup>-1</sup>. Given the large survey area of XDEEP2, they additionally place relatively strong constraints on the log N-log S distribution at high fluxes (f_(X,0.5-2keV) ~ 3 x 10<sup>-14</sup> erg cm<sup>-1</sup> s<sup>-1</sup>), and find a small systematic offset (a factor ~ 1.5) toward lower source numbers in this regime, when compared to smaller area surveys. The number counts observed in XDEEP2 are in close agreement with those predicted by X-ray background synthesis models. Additionally, the authors present a Bayesian-style method for associating the X-ray sources with optical photometric counterparts in the DEEP2 catalog (complete to R<sub>AB</sub> < 25.2) and find that 2126 (~ 71.4% +/- 2.8%) of the 2976 X-ray sources presented here have a secure optical counterpart with a <~ 6% contamination fraction. The present table provides the DEEP2 optical source properties (e.g., magnitude, redshift) as part of the X-ray-optical counterpart catalog. This table was created by the HEASARC in October 2012 based on electronic versions of Tables 5 and 7 from the reference paper which were obtained from the ApJS web site.

MMS 3 Flux Gate Magnetometer (FGM) DC Magnetic Field, Level 2 (L2), Survey Mode, 8 or 16 Sample/s, v4/5 Data
The Fluxgate Magnetometers (FGM) on Magnetospheric Multiscale consist of a traditional Analog Fluxgate Magnetometer (AFG) and a Digital Fluxgate magnetometer (DFG). The dual magnetometers are operated as a single instrument providing a single intercalibrated data product. Range changes occur at different times on the two instruments so the gains checked each periapsis can be carried out unambiguously to apoapsis. Cross correlation of calibration parameters can separate causes of the any apparent calibration changes. Use of Electron Drift Instrument (EDI) to determine the field along the rotation axis allows accurate monitoring of the zero levels along the rotation axis. Prior to launch the magnetometers were calibrated at the Technical University, Braunschweig, except for the AFG magnetometers on MMS3 and MMS4, which were calibrated at UCLA. Both sets of sensors are operated for the entire MMS orbit, with slow survey (8 samples per second) outside of the Region of Interest (ROI), and fast survey (16 samples per second) inside the ROI. Within the ROI, burst mode data (128 samples per second) are also acquired. A detailed description of the MMS fluxgate magnetometers, including science objectives, instrument description, calibration, magnetic cleanliness program, and data flow can be found at http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2Fs11214-014-0057-3 (DOI 10.1007/s11214-014-0057-3). Additional information can also be found at http://www-spc.igpp.ucla.edu/ssc/mms (UCLA), and http://www.iwf.oeaw.ac.at/de/forschung/erdnaher-weltraum/mms/dfg (IWF, Graz). For the purpose of creating a unified FGM Level 2 data product, burst mode data is taken from DFG and survey mode data is taken from AFG. Because AFG and DFG are cross-calibrated on an orbit-averaged basis, small differences in offset may be observed between Level 2 burst and survey mode data. Consequently, any differences are within the error of the measurement. Based on preliminary analysis of the data, the absolute error within the Region of Interest (ROI) is estimated to be no more than 0.1 nT in the spin-plane, 0.15 nT along the spin-axis and 0.2 nT in total magnitude.
