ASCA Master Catalog
The ASCAMASTER table contains data on all ASCA observations that were ever in any of the following states: 'Accepted', 'Scheduled Long-Term', 'Scheduled Short-Term', 'Processed', and 'Archived'. The final status of an observation is given by the parameter Status. Specific dates that affect the status of an observation are listed as the parameters scheduled_date, observed_date, processed_date, archived_date, and cycle. Notice that, if one or more of the date parameters are empty for a given observation, this means that that those particular processes have not occurred: e.g., if observed_date is empty, this means that the planned observation was not observed.

Chandra COSMOS Radio-Selected Star-Forming Galaxies and AGN Catalog
X-ray surveys contain sizable numbers of star-forming galaxies, beyond the AGN which usually make up the majority of detections. Many methods to separate the two populations are used in the literature, based on X-ray and multi-wavelength properties. The authors aim at a detailed test of the classification schemes and to study the X-ray properties of the resulting samples. They build on a sample of galaxies selected at 1.4 GHz in the VLA-COSMOS survey, classified by Smolcic et al. (2008, ApJS, 177, 14) according to their optical colors and also observed by Chandra. A similarly selected control sample of AGN is also used for comparison. The authors review some X-ray based classification criteria and check how they affect the sample composition. The efficiency of the classification scheme devised by Smolcic et al. (2008) is such that ~30% of composite/misclassified objects are expected because of the higher X-ray brightness of AGN with respect to galaxies. The latter fraction is actually 50% in the X-ray detected sources, while it is expected to be much lower among X-ray undetected sources. Indeed, the analysis of the stacked spectrum of undetected sources shows, consistently, strongly different properties between the AGN and galaxy samples. X-ray based selection criteria are then used to refine both samples. The radio/X-ray luminosity correlation for star-forming (SF) galaxies is found to hold with the same X-ray/radio ratio valid for nearby galaxies. Some evolution of the ratio may be possible for sources at high redshift or high luminosity, though it is likely explained by a bias arising from the radio selection. Finally, in their paper the authors discuss the X-ray number counts of star-forming galaxies from the VLA- and C-COSMOS surveys according to different selection criteria, and compare them to the similar determination from the Chandra Deep Fields. The classification scheme proposed here may find application in future works and surveys. This table contains the catalogs of radio-selected SF- and AGN-candidate sources with an X-ray detection in C-COSMOS which were contained in Tables 2 and 3 of the reference paper, respectively. The HEASARC has merged these into a single table, adding a new parameter sample which is set to 'SFG' for radio-selected SF-candidate sources from Table 2 and to 'AGN' for the AGN-candidate sources from Table 3. This table was created by the HEASARC in June 2012 based on CDS table J/A+A/542/A16 files table2.dat and table3.dat. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .
IRAS Point Source Catalog
This is a catalog of 245,889 well-confirmed point sources, i.e., sources with angular extents less than approximately 0.5', 0.5', 1.0', and 2.0' in the in-scan direction at 12, 25, 60, and 100 µm, respectively. Positions, flux densities, uncertainties, associations with known astronomical objects and various cautionary flags are given for each object. While two other complementary data sets - the Working Survey Database and the Point Source Reject Catalog - give information about point-like sources, the information available in the Point Source Catalog should satisfy almost all users. Away from confused regions of the sky, the survey is complete to about 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, and 1.0 Jy at 12, 25, 60, and 100 µm (cf. Faint Source Catalog). Typical position uncertainties are about 2" to 6" in-scan and about 8" to 16" cross-scan. The processing steps applied to detect and confirm point sources, and the positional and photometric error analyses are described in the Explanatory Supplement. The sources appear in order of increasing (1950.0) right ascension.
NGC 1333 Chandra X-Ray Point Source Catalog
NGC 1333, a highly active star formation region within the Perseus molecular cloud complex, has been observed on 2000 July 12.96 - 13.48 with the ACIS-I detector on board the Chandra X-Ray Observatory. The aim point of the array was 3 29 06.1, +31 19 38 (J2000,0 RA and Dec), the satellite roll angle was 95.7 degrees, and the effective exposure time after removing time intervals contaminated by background flaring was 37.8 ks. In this image with a sensitivity limit in luminosity of ~10<sup>28</sup> erg/s for X-ray sources at the 318 pc distance of NGC 1333, 127 X-ray sources were detected, most with sub-arcsecond positional accuracy. While 32 of these sources appear to be foreground stars and extragalactic background objects, 95 X-ray sources are identified with known cluster members. The X-ray luminosity function of the discovered young stellar object (YSO) population spans a range of log L<sub>X</sub> ~= 28.0 - 31.5 erg s<sup>-1</sup> in the 0.5 - 8 keV band, and the absorption column densities range from log N<sub>H</sub> ~=20 to 23 cm<sup>-2</sup>. Most of the sources have plasma temperatures between 0.6 and 3 keV, but a few sources show higher temperatures up to ~7 keV. Comparison with K-band source counts indicates that all of the known cluster members with K < 12 and about half of the members with K > 12 were detected. (K ~= 11, the peak of the K-band luminosity function, corresponds to 0.2 - 0.4 M_solar stars for a cluster age of ~1 Myr). Seven of the 20 known YSOs in NGC 1333 which are producing jets or molecular outflows were detected, as well as one deeply embedded object without outflows. No evident difference in X-ray emission of young stars with and without outflows is found. This present table contains X-ray, optical and near-infrared information on the 109 X-ray sources that were detected above a source significance threshold of 1 x 10<sup>-6</sup> in any of 3 energy bands: soft: 0.5 - 2.0 keV, hard: 2.0 - 8.0 keV, or full: 0.5 - 8.0 keV, excluding 8 sources that were deemed to be spurious on visual examination of the images. The faintest on-axis source emerging from the wavelet detection procedure has 5 extracted counts, corresponding to a source of log L<sub>X</sub> ~ 28.0 in the total (0.5 - 8.0 keV) band for a source with negligible interstellar absorption (A<sub>V</sub> ~ 1) and a typical source spectrum of a kT ~ 1 keV thermal plasma. This limit increases to 28.6 (29.3) if the absorption is increased to A<sub>V</sub> ~ 5 (10). The sensitivity decreases by a factor of 4 at the edge of the field compared to the central regions. 80 of the significant 109 sources (73%) have counterparts in a non-X-ray band. This table does not include 18 tentative X-ray sources listed in Table 3 of the reference paper that were found by the authors by searching for concentrations of photons spatially coincident with known sources from near-IR, mm/sub-mm, and radio catalogs of this region which did not reach the detection significance given above. Most of these tentative sources are believed to be real sources. This table was created by the HEASARC in March 2007 based on <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/ApJ/575/354">CDS catalog J/ApJ/575/354</a> files table1.dat and table2.dat.

Second Catalog of Hard Fermi-LAT Sources (2FHL)
This is a catalog of sources detected above 50 GeV by the Fermi-Large Area Telescope (LAT) in 80 months of data. The newly delivered Pass 8 event-level analysis allows the detection and characterization of sources in the 50GeV-2TeV energy range. In this energy band, Fermi-LAT has detected 360 sources, which constitute the second catalog of hard Fermi-LAT sources (2FHL). The improved angular resolution enables the precise localization of point sources (~1.7-arcminutes radius at 68% confidence level) and the detection and characterization of spatially extended sources. The authors found that 86% of the sources could be associated with counterparts at other wavelengths, of which the majority (75%) are active galactic nuclei and the rest (11%) are Galactic sources. Only 25% of the 2FHL sources have been previously detected by Cherenkov telescopes, implying that the 2FHL provides a reservoir of candidates to be followed up at very high energies. This work closes the energy gap between the observations performed at GeV energies by Fermi-LAT on orbit and the observations performed at higher energies by Cherenkov telescopes from the ground. This database table was first ingested by the HEASARC in September 2015 using electronic data obtained from the Fermi Science Support Center (FSSC). That data is available at <a href="http://fermi.gsfc.nasa.gov/ssc/data/access/lat/2FHL/">http://fermi.gsfc.nasa.gov/ssc/data/access/lat/2FHL/</a>. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .
Galactic O Stars Catalog
This database table is based upon the information contained in the Catalog of Galactic O-Type Stars (Garmany, Conti, and Chiosi 1982), which is a compilation from the literature of all O-type stars for which spectral types, luminosity classes, and UBV photometry exist. Most of the entries come from Cruz-Gonzalez, et al. (1974) and Humphreys (1978), with additional stars from Garrison and Kormendy (1976); Garrison, Hiltner, and Schild (1977); Garrison and Schild (1979); Feinstein, Marraco, and Muzzio (1973); Feinstein, Marraco, and Forte (1976); and Moffat, Fitzgerald, and Jackson (1979). As discussed below, the HEASARC has deleted 5 of the original 765 entries which we believe to be erroneous and/or redundant, and modified the names and/or positions of 14 other entries. As part of the checking process, the HEASARC created new, more accurate positions for all the entries using the SIMBAD database. The catalog contains 760 stars, for each of which designations (HD, DM, etc.), spectral types, V magnitudes, B-V magnitudes, cluster memberships, positional information, and source references are given. In addition, the authors have included derived values of absolute visual and bolometric magnitudes, and distances. The source reference should be consulted for additional details concerning the derived quantities. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .
Swift BAT 100-Month Supergiant Fast X-Ray Transient Catalog
Supergiant Fast X-ray Transients (SFXTs) are High Mass X-ray Binaries (HMXBs) that are defined by their hard X-ray flaring behavior. During such flares they reach peak luminosities of 10<sup>36</sup> - 10<sup>37</sup> erg/s for a few hours (in the hard X-ray), i.e., much shorter timescales than those characterizing Be/X-ray binaries. The authors have investigated the characteristics of bright flares (detections in excess of 5 sigma) for a sample of SFXTs and their relation to the orbital phase. They have retrieved all Swift/BAT Transient Monitor light curves, and collected all detections in excess of 5 sigma from both daily- and orbital-averaged light curves in the time range from 2005 February 12 to 2013 May 31 (MJD 53413 - 56443). The authors also considered all on-board detections as recorded in the same time span and selected those within 4 arcminutes of each source in their sample and in excess of 5 sigma. This table contains the catalog of over a thousand Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) flares from 11 SFXTs, down to 15-150 keV fluxes of ~6 x 10<sup>-10</sup>erg/cm<sup>2</sup>/s (daily timescale) and ~1.5 x 10<sup>-9</sup>erg/cm<sup>2</sup>/s (orbital timescale, averaging ~800s) and spanning 100 months. The great majority of these flares are unpublished. This population is characterized by short (a few hundred seconds) and relatively bright (in excess of 100 milliCrab, 15-50 keV) events. In the hard X-ray, these flares last in general much less than a day. Clustering of hard X-ray flares can be used to indirectly measure the length of an outburst, even when the low-level emission is not detected. In their paper, the authors construct the distributions of flares, of their significance (in terms of sigma) and their flux as a function of orbital phase, to infer the properties of these binary systems. In particular, they observe a trend of clustering of flares at some phases as P_orb increases, as consistent with a progression from tight, circular or mildly eccentric orbits at short periods, to wider and more eccentric orbits at longer orbital periods. Finally, the authors estimate the expected number of flares for a given source for their limiting flux and provide the recipe for calculating them for the limiting flux of future hard X-ray observatories. The BAT observes 88% of the sky daily, on average, so it is ideally suited to detect flaring in hard X-ray sources. Since 2005-02-12, the BAT Transient Monitor (Krimm et al. 2013, ApJS, 209, 14) has been providing near real-time light curves in the 15-50 keV energy range of more than 900 sources with a mean variance for one-day mosaics of 5.3 milliCrab. Several flares from SFXTs are regularly caught every year by the BAT Transient Monitor (BATTM). The catalog contains a total of 1117 flares from 11 SFXT sources (the only other confirmed SFXT, IGR J11215-5952, never triggered the BAT: see Section 2.2 of the reference paper for more information about this source). They are divided into 46 BAT triggers (bat_subsample_flag = 'T', 43 in outbursts), 126 daily-averaged BATTM light curves (bat_subsample_flag = 'D'), 267 orbital-averaged BATTM light curves (bat_subsample_flag = 'O'), and 678 on-board detections (bat_subsample_flag = 'B'). For each flare, the time of the occurrence, duration, flux, and significance are reported. Given the cut in sigma applied to the available BATTM and on-board detections, this catalog is a flux-limited sample of flares. Assuming a Crab-like spectrum (power-law of photon index 2.15), 5 sigma detections for one day and an average orbit typically correspond to fluxes of 5.98 x 10<sup>-10</sup> and 1.46 x 10<sup>-9</sup> erg cm<sup>-2</sup> s<sup>-1</sup>, respectively, in the 15-150 keV band (or 3.38 x 10<sup>-10</sup> and 8.24 x 10<sup>-10</sup> erg cm<sup>-2</sup> s<sup>-1</sup> in the 15-50 keV band). This table was created by the HEASARC in August 2015 based on the union of <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/A+A/562/A2">CDS Catalog J/A+A/562/A2</a> files sample.dat (the properties of the confirmed SFXTs) and table4.dat (the catalog of the 1117 flares detected by the Swift BAT from 11 of the 12 confirmed SFXTs).

SAGE-SMC MIPS 24 micron Epoch 1 Catalog
The SAGE-SMC pro ject is a Cycle 4 legacy program on the Spitzer Space Telescope, entitled, SAGE-SMC: Surveying the Agents of Galaxy Evolution in the Tidally-Disrupted, Low-Metallicity Small Magellanic Cloud, with Karl Gordon (STScI) as the PI. The project overview and initial results are described in a paper by Gordon et al. (2010, in prep). The SMC was mapped at two different epochs dubbed Epochs 1 and 2 separated by 3 (IRAC) and 9 (MIPS) months, as this provides a 90-degree roll angle in the orientation of the detectors, which optimally removes the striping artifacts in MIPS and artifacts along columns and rows in the IRAC image data. In addition, these two epochs are useful constraints of source variability expected for evolved stars and some young stellar ob jects (YSOs). The IRAC and MIPS observations from the S3MC pathfinder survey of the inner 3 sq. deg. of the SMC (PI: Bolatto, referred to as Epoch 0) have been reduced using the same software. To be included in each single epoch catalog, each 24 um source has to meet a number of criteria. The source had to be nearly point like with a correlation value >0.89. This removed approximately 2/3 of the entries in the single epoch source lists. In regions where there is a significant structure in the surrounding region (identified as having a sigma > 0.25 in a 120" width square box), the source had to have a correlation value >0.91. This requirement removed a small number of sources (70). Finally, all sources had to have signal-to-noise (S/N) values >5. The S/N used was that estimated from the StarFinder code using the mosaic uncertainty image added in quadrature with an 0.6% error due to the background subtraction. This removed 700 sources. The final Epoch 1 catalog likely has a few remaining unreliable sources, estimated to be at less than the 1% level. The Full List contains ALL sources extracted from the MIPS 24 um mosaics, thus a user should be aware that it contains spurious sources. For more details, see Section 4.1 of the SAGE-SMC Data Delivery Document.
AllWISE Source Catalog
The AllWISE program builds upon the work of the successful Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer mission (WISE; Wright et al. 2010) by combining data from the WISE cryogenic and NEOWISE (Mainzer et al. 2011 ApJ, 731, 53) post-cryogenic survey phases to form the most comprehensive view of the full mid-infrared sky currently available. By combining the data from two complete sky coverage epochs using an advanced data processing system, AllWISE has generated new products that have enhanced photometric sensitivity and accuracy, and improved astrometric precision compared to the 2012 WISE All-Sky Data Release. Exploiting the 6 to 12 month baseline between the WISE sky coverage epochs enables AllWISE to measure source motions for the first time, and to compute improved flux variability statistics. The AllWISE Source Catalog contains accurate positions, apparent motion measurements, four-band fluxes and flux variability statistics for over 747 million objects detected on the coadded Atlas Images.
X-Ray Selected High-z AGN Catalog
This table contains the results from an analysis of the largest high-redshift (z > 3) X-ray-selected active galactic nucleus (AGN) sample to date, combining the Chandra Cosmological Evolution Survey and Chandra Multi-wavelength Project surveys and doubling the previous samples. The sample comprises 209 X-ray-detected AGNs, over a wide range of rest-frame 2-10 keV luminosities log L<sub>X</sub> = 43.3 - 46.0 erg/s. X-ray hardness ratios show that ~39 per cent of the sources are highly obscured, N<sub>H</sub> > 10<sup>22</sup> cm<sup>-2</sup>, in agreement with the ~37 per cent of type-2 AGNs found in this sample based on their optical classification. For ~26 per cent of objects, there are mismatched optical and X-ray classifications. Utilizing the 1/V<sub>max</sub> method, the authors confirm that the comoving space density of all luminosity ranges of AGNs decreases with redshift above z > 3 and up to z ~ 7. With a significant sample of AGNs (N = 27) at z > 4, it is found that both source number counts in the 0.5-2 keV band and comoving space density are consistent with the expectation of a luminosity-dependent density evolution (LDDE) model at all redshifts, while they exclude the luminosity and density evolution (LADE) model. The measured comoving space density of type-1 and type-2 AGNs shows a constant ratio between the two types at z > 3. These results for both AGN types at these redshifts are consistent with the expectations of LDDE model. The high-redshift AGN sample used in this work has been selected from the C-COSMOS X-ray catalog, combining the spectroscopic and photometric information available from the identification catalogue of X-ray C-COSMOS sources (Civano et al. 2011, ApJ, 741, 91; 2012, ApJS, 201, 30) and the ChaMP (Chandra Multi-wavelength Project) X-ray catalog using only the 323 ChaMP ObsIDs overlapping with Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS; Richards et al. 2006, AJ, 131, 2766) DR5 imaging. This table was created by the HEASARC in March 2016 based on the <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/MNRAS/445/1430">CDS catalog J/MNRAS/445/1430</a> file tablea1.dat.

ROSAT PSPC Catalog of SMC X-Ray Sources (Haberl et al.)
This is a catalogue of 517 discrete X-ray sources in a 6 degree by 6 degree field covering the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). The catalogue was derived from the pointed ROSAT PSPC observations performed between October 1991 and May 1994 and is complementary to the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) catalogue published by Haberl & Pietsch (1999, A&AS, 139, 277). The authors followed the same identification scheme and used, among other information, X-ray hardness ratios and spatial extent to classify unknown sources as candidates for active galactic nuclei (AGN), foreground stars, supernova remnants (SNRs), supersoft sources (SSSs) and X-ray binaries. In Table 7 of the paper from which this catalog is taken (Haberl et al. 2000, A&AS, 142, 41), for 158 of these 517 sources a likely source type is given, from which 46 sources are suggested as background AGN (including candidates resulting from a comparison of X-ray and radio images). Nearly all of the X-ray binaries known in the SMC were detected in the ROSAT PSPC observations; most of them with luminosities below 10<sup>36</sup> erg/s, suggesting that the fraction of high-luminosity X-ray binary systems in the Magellanic Clouds (MCs) is not significantly larger than in our galaxy. This database was created at the HEASARC in June 2000 based on the ADC/<a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/A+AS/142/41">CDS Catalog J/A+AS/142/41</a>, and is derived from Table 2 of the reference.

Spitzer Deep Wide-Field Survey 4.5 micron Epoch 3 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.
Spitzer Deep Wide-Field Survey 3.6 micron Epoch 2 Catalog

NGC 6231 XMM-Newton X-Ray Source Catalog
This table contains the results of an X-ray campaign towards the young open cluster NGC 6231. The XMM-Newton observations, of a total duration of ~ 180 ks, reveal that NGC 6231 is very rich in the X-ray domain too. Indeed, 610 X-ray sources were detected in the present field of view, centered on the colliding wind binary HD 152248 in the cluster core (RA, Dec J2000.0 of 16 54 10.06, -41 49 30.1). The limiting sensitivity of this survey is approximately 6 x 10^-15<sup>erg/s/cm</sup>2 but clearly depends on the location in the field of view and on the source spectrum. Using different existing catalogs, over 85% of the X-ray sources could be associated with at least one optical and/or infrared counterpart within a limited cross-correlation radius of 2.5 or 3-arcsec according to the optical/IR catalog used. The surface density distribution of the X-ray sources presents a slight N-S elongation. Once corrected for the spatial sensitivity variation of the EPIC instruments, the radial profile of the source surface density is well described by a King profile with a central density of about 8 sources per arcmin<sup>2</sup> and a core radius close to 3.1 arcminutes. The distribution of the X-ray sources seems closely related to the optical source distribution. The expected number of foreground and background sources should represent about 9% of the detected sources, thus strongly suggesting that most of the observed X-ray emitters are physically belonging to NGC 6231. Finally, beside a few bright but soft objects -- corresponding to the early-type stars of the cluster -- most of the sources are relatively faint (~5 x 10<sup>-15</sup> erg/s/cm<sup>2</sup>) with an energy distribution peaked around 1.0 - 2.0 keV. The catalog of the 610 X-ray sources detected in the 30'-diameter field of view of XMM-Newton is presented here, including the equatorial coordinates, logarithmic likelihoods and count rates for the three EPIC instruments and for various energy ranges, as well as the cross-identification of the X-ray sources with various optical/infrared catalogs (2MASS, GSC2.2, USNO B1.0, SSB06) and their most commonly used names (HD/HDE, CD, CPD, Segg., SBL98, Braes), with only the closest identifications being reported here. This table was created by the HEASARC in March 2007 based on <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/A+A/454/1047">CDS catalog J/A+A/454/1047</a> files table3.dat and table6.dat.

COSMOS Zurich Structure & Morphology Catalog
COSMOS is an astronomical survey designed to probe the formation and evolution of galaxies as a function of cosmic time (redshift) and large scale structural environment. The survey covers a 2 square degree equatorial field with imaging by most of the major space-based telescopes (Hubble, Spitzer, GALEX, XMM, Chandra) and a number of large ground based telescopes (Subaru, VLA, ESO-VLT, UKIRT, NOAO, CFHT, and others). Over 2 million galaxies are detected, spanning 75% of the age of the universe.This catalog contains the measurements presented in: 1. Scarlata, Carollo, Lilly et al 2007, ApJS, 172, 406 (i.e., the Zurich Estimator of Structural Type [ZEST] catalog; measurements down to a limiting magnitude of I_AB=24. ZEST measurements for galaxies with half-light radii < 0 .17" are unreliable, especially for galaxies with a steep light profile) 2. Sargent, Carollo, Lilly et al 2007, ApJS, 172, 434 (i.e., Single-Sersic GIM2D fits; measurements down to a limiting magnitude of I_AB=22.5;formal GIM2D fits are also listed for approx. 2650 compulsory zCOSMOS-Bright x-ray, radio, etc. sources with I_AB > 22.5 - however, the quality of the fits deteriorates for sources substantially fainter than ~I_AB~23)This v1.0 catalog is based on the May 2006 release of Alexie Leauthaud's ACS catalog (cut at the limits mentioned above).
CLASH 3.6 micron Catalog
The Cluster Lensing And Supernova survey with Hubble (CLASH) Multi-Cycle Treasury program (PI: Marc Postman) completed its Hubble Space Telescope (HST) multiwavelength obsrvations of 25 massive galaxy clusters in 2013 (Postman et al. 2012 describes the full survey). The full HST dataset and associated catalogs and gravitational lens models are available at MAST. A series or programs with Spitzer have covered all CLASH galaxy clusters with IRAC Channels 1 and 2. Several of the targets include Channels 3 and 4 data.
CANDELS H-Band Selected Chandra Source Catalog
Improving the capabilities of detecting faint X-ray sources is fundamental to increase the statistics on faint high-z AGN and star-forming galaxies. The authors performed a simultaneous maximum likelihood point-spread function (PSF) fit in the 0.5-2 keV and 2-7 keV energy bands of the 4 Ms Chandra Deep Field South (CDFS) data at the position of the 34,930 CANDELS H-band selected galaxies. For each detected source, they provide X-ray photometry and optical counterpart validation. The authors validated this technique by means of a ray-tracing simulation, and detected a total of 698 X-ray point-sources with a likelihood L > 4.98 (i.e.> 2.7sigma). They show that the prior knowledge of a deep sample of Optical-NIR galaxies leads to a significant increase of the detection of faint (i.e. ~ 10<sup>-17</sup> erg s<sup>-1</sup> cm<sup>-2</sup> in the 0.5-2 keV band) sources with respect to "blind" X-ray detections. By including previous catalogs, this work increases the total number of X-ray sources detected in the 4 Ms CDFS, CANDELS area to 793, which represents the largest sample of extremely faint X-ray sources assembled to date. These results suggest that a large fraction of the optical counterparts of our X-ray sources determined by likelihood ratio actually coincides with the priors used for the source detection. Most of the newly detected sources are likely star-forming galaxies or faint absorbed AGN. The authors identified a few sources with putative photometric redshift z > 4. Despite the low number statistics, this sample significantly increases the number of X-ray selected candidate high-z AGN. The 4-Ms CDFS consists of 23 observations described in Table 1 of Luo et al. (2008, ApJS, 179, 19) plus 31 other pointings described in Xue et al. (2011, ApJS, 195, 10, hereafter X11) for a total exposure of ~4 Ms. For the purpose of this paper, the authors employed only observations taken with a focal temperature of <= -120 C, since at higher temperatures the background cannot be modeled with their technique. This table was created by the HEASARC in July 2016 based on <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/ApJ/823/95">CDS Catalog J/ApJ/823/95</a> file catalog.dat. Some of the values for the name parameter in the HEASARC's implementation of this table were corrected in April 2018. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .
Sloan Digital Sky Survey Unusual Quasars Catalog
Large spectroscopic surveys have discovered very peculiar and hitherto unknown types of active galactic nuclei (AGN). Such rare objects may hold clues to the accretion history of the supermassive black holes at the centres of galaxies. The authors aim to create a sizeable sample of unusual quasars from the unprecedented spectroscopic database of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). This table contains a catalog of 1005 quasars with unusual spectra in the redshift interval from 0.6 to 4.3. [HEASARC Note: the redshifts in this table actually range from 0.497 to 4.771]. The quasars were selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 7 (Abazajian et al., 2009, ApJS, 182, 543) by means of Kohonen self-organising maps. The spectra are dominated by either broad absorption lines (42%), unusual red continua (27%), weak emission lines (18%), or conspicuously strong optical and/or UV iron emission (11%). This large sample provides a useful resource for both studying properties and relations of/between different types of unusual quasars and selecting particularly interesting objects, even though the compilation is not aimed at completeness in a quantifiable sense. The spectra are grouped into seven types. The catalogue contains the redshift, the absolute magnitude, the spectral type, the radio loudness parameter, a peculiarity index, and some comments on peculiar spectral features. This table was created by the HEASARC in May 2012 based on CDS table J/A+A/541/A77 file table3.dat. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .
Planck PCCS2E 545GHz Catalog
The second Planck Catalogue of Compact Sources (PCCS2) is a set of single-frequency source catalogues extracted from the Planck full-mission maps in intensity and polarization. The 100, 143, 217, and 353 GHz catalogs include polarization measurements. The 857 GHz source list has six additional columns which give the flux densities and flux density uncertainties at the three adjacent lower frequencies: 217, 353, and 545 GHz.The PCCS2E catalogs consist of those sources detected in sky regions where the diffuse emission makes it difficult to quantify the reliability of the detections.
SDSS MOVING OBJECT CATALOG V3.0
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Moving Object Catalog 4th release lists astrometric and photometric data for moving objects detected in the SDSS. The catalog includes various identification parameters, SDSS astrometric measurements (five SDSS magnitudes and their errors), and orbital elements for previously cataloged asteroids. The data set also includes a list of the runs from which data are included, and filter response curves.
