IC 10 XMM-Newton and Chandra X-Ray Point Source Catalog
This table contains some of the results from an X-ray study of our nearest starburst galaxy IC 10, based on XMM-Newton and Chandra observations. It contains a list of 73 XMM-Newton and 28 Chandra detections of point-like X-ray sources in the field of this galaxy; a substantial fraction of them are likely to be stellar objects in the Milky Way due to the low Galactic latitude location of IC 10. The brightest source in the IC 10 field, X-1, has a mean 0.3-8.0 keV luminosity of ~1.2E38 erg s<sup>-1</sup> and shows a large variation by a factor of up to ~6 on timescales of ~10<sup>4</sup> s during the XMM-Newton observation. The XMM-Newton observations were taken on 2003 July 3 with a total exposure time of ~45 ks for the EPIC-MOS cameras and ~42 ks for the European Photon Imaging Camera (EPIC) PN camera. The authors use only the data from the PN camera (with a thin optical blocking filter) because of its high sensitivity to soft X-rays in the study of diffuse emission and include the data from the MOS cameras in the analysis of X-1. The Chandra observation, taken on 2003 March 12 with an exposure of 29 ks and already described by Bauer and Brandt (2004, ApJ, 601, 67), was reprocessed by the authors using the then-latest CIAO software (version 3.2.1) and calibration database (version 3.0.0). The authors used the Two-Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS) All-Sky Catalog of Point Sources (Cutri et al. 2003 <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/II/246">CDS Catalog II/246</a>) to search for potential counterparts. They cross-correlated the spatial positions of the objects in this catalog with their X-ray source positions, using a matching radius of 4 arcsec for XMM-Newton PN sources and 2 arcsec for Chandra ACIS sources. The radius was chosen to be greater than the 1-sigma statistical position uncertainty of almost all the sources.In no case is there a match with multiple 2MASS objects. The 3-sigma limiting sensitivities of the 2MASS Catalog are 17.1, 16.4 and 15.3 mag in the three bands, J, H, and K<sub>S</sub>, respectively. This table was created by the HEASARC in October 2011 based on <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/MNRAS/362/1065">CDS Catalog J/MNRAS/362/1065</a> files table1.dat, table2.dat and table3.dat.

XTE All-Sky Slew Survey AGN Catalog
This table contains the RXTE All-Sky Slew Survey Catalog of AGN and AGN candidates. The catalog authors compiled a sample of 95 AGNs which were serendipitously detected in the 3-20 keV band at Galactic latitude |b| > 10 degrees during the RXTE Slew Survey (XSS, Revnivtsev et al., CDS Cat. <J/A+A/418/927>), and utilized it to study the statistical properties of the local population of AGN, including the X-ray luminosity function and absorption distribution. They find that among low X-ray luminosity (L<sub>X</sub> < 10<sup>43.5</sup> erg/s) AGN, the ratio of absorbed (characterized by intrinsic absorption in the range 10<sup>22</sup> cm<sup>-2</sup> < N<sub>H</sub> < 10<sup>24</sup> cm<sup>-2</sup>) and unabsorbed (N<sub>H</sub> < 10<sup>22</sup> cm<sup>-2</sup>) objects is 2:1, while this ratio drops to less than 1:5 for higher luminosity AGN. The summed X-ray output of AGN with L<sub>X</sub> > 10<sup>41</sup> erg/s estimated here is smaller than the earlier estimated total X-ray volume emissivity in the local Universe, suggesting that a comparable X-ray flux may be produced together by lower luminosity AGN, non-active galaxies and clusters of galaxies. The authors also presented a sample of 35 AGN candidates, composed of unidentified XSS sources. Most of these AGN belong to the local population (z < 0.1). For each confirmed AGN source, the following information is provided: AGN class, the count rate in two energy bands (3-8 keV and 8-20 keV), the observed and intrinsic (absorption-corrected) luminosity in the 3 - 20keV band, and the intrinsic absorption column density. For the AGN candidates, composed of unidentified XSS sources, the following information is provided: the count rate in two energy bands (3-8 keV and 8-20 keV), the estimated intrinsic absorption column density, and information about RASS Bright Source Catalog and HEAO A-1 X-ray source counterparts. This table was created by the HEASARC in December 2004 based on <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/A+A/423/469">CDS Catalog J/A+A/423/469</a>, table1.dat and table2.dat (the corrected version of 01-Dec-2004).

NGC 4214 Chandra X-Ray Point Source Catalog
This table contains a comprehensive X-ray point source catalog of the IAB(s)m galaxy NGC 4214 similar to the LMC, one of the nearest examples of a starburst galaxy with a substantial population of Wolf-Rayet stars, as part of the Chandra Local Volume Survey. The combined archival observations of this galaxy have an effective exposure time of 79 ks. When combined with the catalogs of sources in NGC 55 and NGC 2403 given in this same reference paper, and the authors' previously published catalogs for NGC 300 (Binder et al. 2012, ApJ, 758, 15) and NGC 404 (Binder et al. 2013, ApJ, 763, 128), the CLVS contains 629 high-significance X-ray sources total down to a limiting unabsorbed luminosity of ~ 5 x 10<sup>35</sup> erg s<sup>-1</sup> in the 0.35-8.0 keV band in each of the five galaxies. In the reference paper, the authors present X-ray hardness ratios, spectral analysis, radial source distributions, and an analysis of the temporal variability for the X-ray sources detected at high significance. To constrain the nature of each X-ray source, they carried out cross-correlations with multi-wavelength data sets. They searched overlapping Hubble Space Telescope observations for optical counterparts to their X-ray detections to provide preliminary classifications for each X-ray source as a likely X-ray binary, background active galactic nucleus, supernova remnant, or foreground star. The authors utilized archival X-ray observations: NGC 4214 was observed by the Chandra X-Ray Observatory using the ACIS-S array on three occasions for a total of 79 ks: <pre> Obs. ID Date Eff. Exposure time (ks) 2030 2001 Oct 16 25 4743 2004 Apr 03 26 5197 2004 Jul 30 28 </pre> The iterative source detection strategy that was used is described in Section 2.3 of Binder et al. (2012, ApJ, 758, 15). ACIS-Extract (AE) was run a final time on the source list that was produces after an initial run of wavdetect followed by several iterations of AE, and the Poisson probability of not being a source (pns) value was computed in each of the following nine energy bands: 0.5 - 8.0, 0.5 - 2.0, 2.0 - 8.0, 0.5 - 1.0, 1.0 - 2.0, 2.0 - 4.0, 4.0 - 8.0, 0.35 - 1.0 or 0.35 - 8.0 keV. To be included in the final NGC 4214 catalog, a source was required to have a pns value less than 4 x 10<sup>-6</sup> in any of the nine energy bands. The final CLVS source catalog for NGC 2403 contains 116 sources. This table was created by the HEASARC in September 2015 based on machine-readable versions of those parts of Table 5 and 8 from the reference paper which pertained to the 116 high-significance (pns < 4 x 10<sup>-6</sup>) X-ray sources which were detected in NGC 4214. It does not include the 95 lower-significance sources in NGC 4214 which had 4 x 10<sup>-6</sup> < pns < 1.0 x 10<sup>-3</sup>, some of which are likely to be genuine X-ray sources.

XMM-COSMOS Catalog of Optical/IR Counterparts
This table contains the final optical identifications of the medium-depth (~60 ks), contiguous (2 degree<sup>2</sup>) XMM-Newton survey of the COSMOS field. XMM-Newton has detected ~1800 X-ray sources down to limiting fluxes of ~5 x 10<sup>-16</sup>, ~3 x 10<sup>-15</sup>, and ~7 x 10<sup>-15</sup> erg cm<sup>-2</sup> s<sup>-1</sup> in the 0.5-2 keV, 2-10 keV, and 5-10 keV bands, respectively (~1 x 10<sup>-15</sup>, ~6 x 10<sup>-15</sup>, and ~1 x 10<sup>-14</sup> erg cm<sup>-2</sup> s<sup>-1</sup>, in the three bands, respectively, over 50% of the area). The work is complemented by an extensive collection of multi-wavelength data from 24 microns to UV, available from the COSMOS survey, for each of the X-ray sources, including spectroscopic redshifts for >~50% of the sample, and high-quality photometric redshifts for the rest. The XMM-Newton and multi-wavelength flux limits are well matched: 1760 (98%) of the X-ray sources have optical counterparts, 1711 (~95%) have IRAC counterparts, and 1394 (~78%) have MIPS 24 um detections. Thanks to the redshift completeness (almost 100%) the authors were able to constrain the high-luminosity tail of the X-ray luminosity function confirming that the peak of the number density of log L<sub>X</sub> > 44.5 active galactic nuclei (AGNs) is at z ~ 2. Spectroscopically identified obscured and unobscured AGNs, as well as normal and star-forming galaxies, present well-defined optical and infrared properties. The authors devised a robust method to identify a sample of ~150 high-redshift (z > 1), obscured AGN candidates for which optical spectroscopy is not available. They were able to determine that the fraction of the obscured AGN population at the highest (L<sub>X</sub> > 10<sup>44</sup> erg s<sup>-1</sup>) X-ray luminosity is ~15%-30% when selection effects are taken into account, providing an important observational constraint for X-ray background synthesis. The authors studied in detail the optical spectrum and the overall spectral energy distribution of a prototypical Type 2 QSO (source number 2028), caught in a stage transitioning from being starburst dominated to AGN dominated, which was possible to isolate only thanks to the combination of X-ray and infrared observations. This table was created by the HEASARC in July 2010 based on the electronic version of Table 2 from the paper which was obtained from the Astrophysical Journal web site. <p> The HEASARC has made some changes to this material in order to make it more compliant with CDS/IAU Nomenclature and HEASARC table standards: <p> (i) The original naming convention suggested by the authors used a prefix of 'XMMC_' and the J2000.0 RA and Dec position in decimal degrees to 10<sup>-5</sup> degrees precision, e.g., XMMC_150.10515+1.98082'; the HEASARC has replaced these names by alternative new ones (in the alt_name parameter) of the form 'XMMU JHHMMSS.s+DDMMSS' where the prefix is the usual one for XMM-Newton sources and the remainder of the field is the J2000.0 equatorial coordinates truncated to 0.1 seconds of time in RA and to 1 arcsecond in Declination; <p> (ii) We have used for the alt_name parameter the naming convention recommended by the Dictionary of Nomenclature of Celestial Objects for XMM-COSMOS sources, viz. the "XMMC' prefix and the source (XID) number, e.g., "XMMC 2028'.

IC 1805 XMM-Newton X-Ray Source Catalog
Very young open clusters are ideal places to study the X-ray properties of a homogeneous population of early-type stars. In this respect, the IC 1805 open cluster is very interesting as it hosts the O4 If+ star HD 15570 that is thought to be in an evolutionary stage intermediate between a normal O-star and a Wolf-Rayet star. Such a star could provide a test for theoretical models aiming at explaining the empirical scaling relation between the X-ray and bolometric luminosities of O-type stars. The authors have observed IC 1805 with XMM-Newton and further collected optical spectroscopy of some of the O-star members of the cluster. The optical spectra allowed them to revisit the orbital solutions of BD +60 497 and HD 15558, and provided the first evidence of binarity for BD +60 498. X-ray emission from colliding winds does not appear to play an important role among the O-stars of IC 1805. Notably, the X-ray fluxes do not vary significantly between archival X-ray observations and the present XMM-Newton pointing. The very fast rotator BD +60 513, and to a lesser extent the O4 If+ star HD 15570, appear somewhat underluminous. While the underluminosity of HD 15570 is only marginally significant, its amplitude is found to be compatible with theoretical expectations based on its stellar and wind properties. A number of other X-ray sources are detected in the field, and the brightest objects, many of which are likely low-mass pre-main sequence stars, are analyzed in detail. This table provides the full catalog of the 191 X-ray sources detected with the EPIC detectors onboard XMM-Newton in the direction of the IC 1805 cluster. The coordinates of the sources were cross-correlated with the optical and IR catalogs of Straizys et al. (2013, A&A, 554, A3), Wolff et al. (2011, ApJ, 726, 19), and the SIMBAD database. The authors adopted in each case a correlation radius of 4 arcseconds. This table was created by the HEASARC in October 2016 based on the electronic version of Table A1 from the reference paper which was obtained from the CDS (their catalog J/A+A/594/A82 file tablea1.dat).

Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope Spitzer xFLS Field 610-MHz Radio Source Catalog
This table contains a source catalog based on observations of the Spitzer extragalactic First Look Survey (xFLS) field taken at 610 MHz with the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT). Seven individual pointings were observed, covering a total area of ~ 4 square degrees with a resolution of 5.8 x 4.7 arcsec<sup>2</sup>, position angle 60 degrees. The rms noise at the center of the pointings is between 27 and 30 microJansky (µJy) before correction for the GMRT primary beam. The techniques used for data reduction and production of a mosaicked image of the region are described in the reference paper, where the final mosaic, along with a catalog of 3944 sources detected above a ~ 5-sigma threshold, are presented. The survey complements existing radio and infrared data available for this region. For further details of the surveys and data analysis procedures, please refer to the published paper. This table contains the xFLS catalog of 3944 610-MHz radio sources detected by the GMRT, the 05-May-2008 (Release 1.1) version provided to the CDS by the co-author Sally Hales (MRAO, Cambridge). In this version, a rounding error in the right ascension and declination positions listed for some sources in the original 10-May-2007 (Release 1.0) version has been corrected. The source IAU designations remain unchanged, having been based on the correctly computed positions throughout. The main purpose in correcting the positions was to eliminate sporadic mismatches between IAU designation and listed position in the first data release. In other respects the effect on the positions is negligible. This table was created by the HEASARC in February 2012 based on <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/MNRAS/376/1251">CDS catalog J/MNRAS/376/1251</a> file gmrtfls.dat, the release 1.1 (05-May-2008) version.

Radio-Selected Extended Chandra Deep Field South Source Catalog
In order to trace the instantaneous star formation rate (SFR) at high redshift, and thus help in understanding the relation between the different emission mechanisms related to star formation, the authors have combined the recent 4-Ms Chandra X-ray data and the deep Very Large Array radio data in the Extended Chandra Deep Field-South (E-CDF-S) region. They find 268 sources detected both in the X-ray and radio bands. The availability of redshifts for ~ 95% of the sources in their sample allows them to derive reliable luminosity estimates and the intrinsic properties from X-ray analysis for the majority of the objects. The present table lists the X-ray properties and redshifts of these 268 radio-selected sources. In the E-CDF-S area, the authors have two sets of X-ray data obtained with Chandra. The most important is a 4-Ms exposure observation resulting from the co-addition of 54 individual Chandra ACIS-I exposures from 1999 October to 2010 July, with centers spaced within a few arcseconds of RA = 03:32:28.80, Dec = -27:48:23 (J2000). The authors use the data from the new VLA program which provides deep, high-resolution 1.4-GHz imaging across the full E-CDF-S, consisting of a six-pointing mosaic of 240 h spanning 48 d of individual 5-h observations (Miller et al., 2008, ApJS, 179, 114). The E-CDF-S area has been targeted by a large number of spectroscopic surveys. For the X-ray sources, the authors use the spectroscopic redshifts published in Xue et al. (2011, ApJS, 195, 10). This table was created by the HEASARC in May 2013 based on <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/MNRAS/420/2190">CDS Catalog J/MNRAS/420/2190</a> files table2.dat and table3.dat.

Spitzer Wide-area InfraRed Extragalactic Survey ELAIS-S1 MIPS 160 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.
ASCA GIS Source Catalog (AMSS-I + AMSS-II)
This is the complete X-ray source catalog of the ASCA Medium Sensitivity Survey, AMSS, or the Gas Imaging Spectrometer (GIS) catalog project. It has been constructed from data for fields covering Galactic latitudes |b| > 10 degrees which were obtained with the GIS instrument onboard the ASCA satellite between 1993 May and 1996 December (part I) and between 1997 January and 2000 May (part II). Part I of this catalog (AMSS-I) utilizes 368 combined fields, and contains 1343 sources (including target sources) with detection significance above 5 sigma in at least one of the 3 survey bands of 0.7-7.0, 2-10, or 0.7-2.0 keV, while AMSS-II uses 306 fields, and contains a total of 1190 sources, using the same criteria. The AMSS-I and AMSS-II catalogs together contain 2533 sources from an area of 278 square degrees and provide a unique database of X-ray sources in the flux range of 10<sup>-13</sup> to 10<sup>-11</sup> erg cm<sup>-2</sup> s<sup>-1</sup> (0.7-10 keV). The published paper contains a summary of the statistical properties of a complete X-ray sample consisting of 1969 serendipitous sources selected from AMSS-I and AMSS-II. For each source, the ASCA source name, position, 90% error radius, count rates (both observed and as corrected for Galactic absorption) in the 3 energy bands, detection signifances and fluxes in the 3 energy bands, and hardness ratio and associated error are provided. This version of the Browse ASCAGIS table containing the combined AMSS-I and AMSS-II source lists was created by the HEASARC in February 2006 based on the CDS version of the AMSS-I source list (<a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/ApJS/133/1">CDS catalog J/ApJS/133/1</a>) and the electronic ApJS version of the AMSS-II source list.

Spitzer Extragalactic Representative Volume Survey CDFS 4.5 micron Catalog
The "Spitzer Extragalactic Representative Volume Survey" (SERVS) Exploration Science program conducted deep IRAC 3.6 and 4.5 micron observations of five extragalactic fields (ELAIS-N1, Lockman Hole, XMM, ELAIS-S1, and CDFS).Objects in the single band catalogs are not required to have any counterparts in the other band. They are cut at CSNR > 5 and also have the low coverage areas at the edges of the survey omitted (POLY=1), resulting in a single-band reliability flag REL=1. They are thus deeper than the 2-band high reliability catalogs. These should be used if you are matching with a reliable catalog from another band (e.g. near-infrared), and simply want as many matches as possible, or are doing a statistical study.
UV-Bright Quasar Survey (UVQS) DR1 Catalog
This table contains data from the first data release (DR1) from the UV-bright Quasar Survey (UVQS) for new z ~ 1 active galactic nuclei (AGN) across the sky. Using simple GALEX UV and WISE near-IR color selection criteria, the authors generated a list of 1,450 primary candidates with FUV < 18.5 mag, that is contained in the HEASARC table (entries with source_sample = 'P'). They obtained discovery spectra, primarily on 3m-class telescopes, for 1,040 of these candidates and confirmed 86% as AGN, with redshifts generally at z > 0.5. Including a small set of observed secondary candidates, the authors report the discovery of 217 AGN with GALEX FUV magnitudes < 18 mag that previously had no reported spectroscopic redshifts. These are excellent potential targets for UV spectroscopy before the end of the Hubble Space Telescope mission. The main data products of UVQS are publicly available through the Mikulski Archive for Space Telescopes (MAST). The authors have performed an all-sky survey for z ~ 1, FUV-bright quasars selected from GALEX and WISE photometry. In several of the observing runs, conditions were unexpectedly favorable and we exhausted the primary candidates at certain right ascension ranges. To fill the remaining observing time, they generated a secondary candidate list. This secondary set of 2,010 candidates is also contained in this HEASARC table (entries with source_sample = 'S'). The authors proceeded to obtain discovery-quality long-slit spectra (i.e., low-dispersion, large-wavelength coverage, modest signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) of their UV-bright Quasar Survey (UVQS) candidates in one calendar year. The principal facilities were: (i) the dual Kast spectrometer on the 3m Shane telescope at the Lick Observatory; (ii) the Boller & Chivens (BCS) spectrometer on the Irenee du Pont 100-inch telescope at the Las Campanas Observatory; and (iii) the Calar Alto Faint Object Spectrograph on the CAHA 2.2-meter telescope at the Calar Alto Observatory (CAHA). They acquired an additional ~20 spectra on larger aperture telescopes (Keck/ESI, MMT/MBC, Magellan/MagE) during twilight or under poor observing conditions. Typical exposure times were limited to < ~200s, with adjustments for fainter sources or sub-optimal observing conditions. Table 3 in the reference paper provides a list of the details of the observations of these candidates. From the total candidates list of 3,460 objects, the authors measured high-quality redshifts (redshift quality flag values of 3 or greater) for 1,121 sources. They assumed that every source with a recessional velocity v<sub>r</sub> = z * c < 500 km s<sup>-1</sup> was "Galactic", which they associate with the Galaxy and members of the Local Group. This included sources where the eigenspectra fits were poor yet a low v<sub>r</sub> was indisputable (e.g., stars). Many of these were assigned z = 0 exactly. The remainder of the UVQS sources were assumed to be extragalactic AGN, and the derived redshift information for these sources (which was given in Table 4 of the reference paper) has been incorporated into this HEASARC representation of UVQS. Finally, there were 93 sources with good-quality spectra for which we cannot the authors could not recover a secure redshift. The majority of these have been previously cataloged as blazars (or BL Lac objects). Table 6 in the reference paper lists the sample of these unknown or insecure redshift objects. This table was created by the HEASARC in April 2017 based upon the <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/AJ/152/25">CDS Catalog J/AJ/152/25</a> files table1.dat, table2.dat, and table4.dat.

RCW 38 Chandra X-Ray Point Source Catalog 2
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 536 X-ray sources found in the Chandra data using a three-pass method with the CIAO 3.4 Wavdetect tool. This table was created by the HEASARC in January 2012 based on an electronic version of Table 2 from the reference paper which was obtained from the ApJ website. 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 .
Spitzer Wide-area InfraRed Extragalactic Survey Lockman Hole ISOCAM Shallow 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 Shallow Survey by ISO. For more details on the Lockman Hole ISOCAM Shallow Survey, see Fadda et al. (2004).
GLIMPSE I Catalog
The Galactic Legacy Infrared Mid-Plane Survey Extraordinaire (GLIMPSEI), using the Spitzer Space Telescope Infrared Array Camera (IRAC) surveyed approximately 220 square degrees of the Galactic plane, covering a latitude range of ±1◦, and a longitude range of |l| =10◦−65◦, plus the Observation Strategy Validation (OSV) region at l=284◦. The observations consisted of two 1.2 second integrations at each position, for a total of over 77,000 pointings and ∼310,000 IRAC frames in 400 hours total survey time. The survey consists of a point source Catalog, a point source Archive, and mosaicked images.The GLIMPSEI Catalog (GLMIC, or the “Catalog”) consists of point sources whose selection criteria are determined by the requirement that the reliability be ≥99.5%. There is a range of limiting magnitudes depending on whether the source is in a sparsely populated or low background region or in a region of high diffuse background or high source density. The photometric uncertainty is typically < 0.2 mag.
XMM-Newton Large-Scale Structure Uniform 10-ksec Exposure X-Ray Source Catalog
This table contains some of the X-ray results from the final release of the multiwavelength XMM-Large Scale Structure (LSS) data set, covering the full survey area of 11.1 deg<sup>2</sup>. The 124 XMM-Newton observations used in the complete XMM-LSS are described in Section 2 and Table 1 of the primary reference paper (Chiappetti et al. 2013, hereafter Paper II). The X-ray data were processed with the latest XMM-LSS XAMIN pipeline version. The catalogs in Paper II supersede the catalog from the first paper in this series (Paper I: Pierre et al. 2007, MNRAS, 382, 279, available at the HEASARC as the XMMLSS table) pertaining to the initial 5 deg<sup>2</sup>. The authors provide X-ray source lists in the customary soft and hard energy bands (0.5-2 keV and 2-10 keV, respectively) for a total of 5572 objects in the catalog limited to 10 ks exposures presented in this table, and a total of 6721 objects in the deep full-exposure 2XLSSd catalog (available at the HEASARC as the XMMLSSDEEP table), above a detection likelihood of 15 in at least one band. At the XMMLSS web site which they maintain (<a href="http://cosmosdb.iasf-milano.inaf.it/XMM-LSS/">http://cosmosdb.iasf-milano.inaf.it/XMM-LSS/</a>), the authors also provide a multiwavelength catalog, cross-correlating their list of X-ray sources with infrared, near-infrared, optical and ultraviolet catalogs. Customary data products, such as X-ray FITS images and thumbnail images from the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope Legacy Survey and the Spitzer Wide-Area Infrared Extragalactic Survey, are made available there, together with their data base in Milan, which can be queried interactively. In this table, the authors provide the source list for the full area (11.1 square degrees) of the XMM-LSS, with a total of 5572 point-like or extended sources above a detection likelihood of 15 in either the 0.5-2 or 2-10 keV bands. This table, the "standard" 2XLSS catalog containing the results of the analysis of the survey area using uniform 10-ksec exposures for all pointings longer than 10 ksec, lists the main X-ray parameters, while further multiwavelength parameters and data products (X-ray images and optical/IR thumbnails) are available at the Milan XMM-LSS database site referenced above. It supersedes the first XMM-LSS version (Pierre et al. 2007, available at the HEASARC as the XMMLSS table). Analogously to Paper I, only sources with an off-axis angle < 13 arcmin were processed by the authors' X-ray data processing pipeline software, XAMIN. The catalog includes all the extended sources classified in the customary C1 and C2 classes (see Section 3.6 of Paper II) plus all point-like sources with a point source detection likelihood (DET_LH) greater than 15 (so-called non-spurious sources). This table was created by the HEASARC in February 2013 based on the <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/MNRAS/429/1652">CDS catalog J/MNRAS/429/1652</a> file 2xlss.dat.

INTEGRAL Reference Catalog
The original version of the INTEGRAL Reference Catalog as published in 2003 classified previously known bright X-ray and gamma-ray sources before the launch of INTEGRAL. These sources are, or have been at least once, brighter than ~1 milliCrab above 3 keV energy, and are expected to be detected by INTEGRAL. This catalog was used in the INTEGRAL Quick Look Analysis (QLA) to discover new sources or significantly variable sources. The authors compiled several published X-ray and gamma-ray catalogs, and surveyed recent publications for new sources. Consequently, there were 1121 sources in the original INTEGRAL Reference Catalog. In addition to the source positions, an approximate spectral model and expected flux were given for each source, and the expected INTEGRAL counting rates based on these parameters was derived. Assuming the default instrument performances and at least ~10<sup>5</sup> seconds exposure time for any part of the sky, it is expected that INTEGRAL will detect at least ~700 sources below 10 keV and ~400 sources above 20 keV over the mission life. After the launch of INTEGRAL, a version of this catalog was placed on the ISDC website at <a href="http://www.isdc.unige.ch/integral/science/catalogue">http://www.isdc.unige.ch/integral/science/catalogue</a> and has been updated periodically since then by adding, for example, new sources discovered by INTEGRAL itself (indicated by the IGR prefix in the name). This HEASARC table is based on the web version at the ISDC, and will be updated within a few days of whenever the latter is updated. This database table is updated automatically in the HEASARC database system within one week of any changes to the online web page maintained by the INTEGRAL Science Data Center at the URL <a href="http://www.isdc.unige.ch/integral/catalog/latest/catalog.html">http://www.isdc.unige.ch/integral/catalog/latest/catalog.html</a> This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .
Owens Valley Radio Observatory 40-m 31-GHZ Radio Source Catalog
The 100m Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope (GBT) and the 40m Owens Valley Radio Observatory (OVRO) telescope have been used to conduct a 31-GHz survey of 3165 known extragalactic radio sources over 143 deg<sup>2</sup> of the sky. Target sources were selected from the NRAO VLA Sky Survey (NVSS) in fields observed by the Cosmic Background Imager (CBI); most are extragalactic active galactic nuclei (AGNs) with 1.4-GHz flux densities of 3-10 mJy. Using a maximum-likelihood analysis to obtain an unbiased estimate of the distribution of the 1.4 - 31 GHz spectral indices of these sources, the authors find a mean 31 - 1.4 GHz flux ratio of 0.110 +/- 0.003 corresponding to a spectral index alpha = -0.71+/-0.01 (S<sub>nu</sub> ~ nu<sup>alpha</sup>); 9.0% +/- 0.8% of the sources have alpha > -0.5 and 1.2% +/- 0.2% have alpha > 0. By combining this spectral-index distribution with 1.4GHz source counts, the authors predict 31-GHz source counts in the range 1 mJy <S<sub>31</sub> < 4 mJy, N(>S<sub>31</sub>) = (16.7+/-1.7)deg<sup>-2</sup>(S<sub>31</sub>/1mJy)<sup>(-0.80+/-0.07)</sup>. In this study, the authors present a detailed characterization of the impact of the discrete source foreground on arcminute-scale 31-GHz anisotropy measurements based upon two observational campaigns. The first campaign (the results of which are given in this table) was carried out with the OVRO 40m telescope at 31 GHz from 2000 September through 2002 December. The second campaign (the results of which are given in the GBT31GHZ table) used the GBT from 2006 February to May. A companion paper (Sievers et al. 2009arXiv0901.4540S) presents the five-year CBI total intensity power spectrum incorporating the results of the point-source measurements discussed here. Reported error bars include a 10% and 5% rms gain uncertainty for GBT and OVRO measurements, respectively. Sources detected at greater than 4 sigma at 31 GHz are flagged (detection_flag = 'Y'); for this calculation, the random gain uncertainty was excluded. In all 3165 sources were observed. The GBT catalog (the HEASARC GBT31GHZ table) contains 1490 sources. Of the 2315 useful OVRO observations many of the non-detections (and a few detections) were superceded by more sensitive GBT observations; the OVRO catalog contained in the present table therefore contains data on 1675 sources. The detection rate of the OVRO measurements was 11%, and that of the GBT measurements 25%. In all, 18% of the sources were detected at 31 GHz.

COSMOS Field VLBA Observations 1.4-GHz Source Catalog
This table contains the results of a project using wide-field Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) observations at 1.4 GHz of 2,865 known radio sources in the Cosmic Evolution Survey (COSMOS) field, a field which has exceptional multi-wavelength coverage. The main objective of this study is to identify the active galactic nuclei (AGN) in this field. Wide-field VLBI observations were made of all known radio sources in the COSMOS field at 1.4 GHz using the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA). The authors also collected complementary multiwavelength information from the literature for the VLBA-detected sources.The combination of the number of sources, sensitivity, angular resolution and the area covered by this project are unprecedented. A catalog which contains the VLBI-detected sources is presented, the main purpose of which is to be used as an AGN catalog. the complementary multiwavelength (optical, infrared and X-ray) information of the VLBI-detected sources is also presented. The authors have detected 468 radio sources, expected to be AGN, with the VLBA. This is, to date, the largest sample assembled of VLBI-detected sources in the sub-mJy regime. They find a detection fraction of 20% +/- 1%, considering only those sources from the input catalog which were in principle detectable with the VLBA (2,361). As a function of the VLA flux density, the detection fraction is higher for higher flux densities, since at high flux densities a source could be detected even if the VLBI core accounts for a small percentage of the total flux density. As a function of redshift, the authors see no evolution of the detection fraction over the redshift range 0.5 < z < 3. In addition, they find that faint radio sources typically have a greater fraction of their radio luminosity in a compact core: ~70% of the sub-mJy sources detected with the VLBA have more than half of their total radio luminosity in a VLBI-scale component, whereas this is true for only ~30% of the sources that are brighter than 10 mJy. This suggests that fainter radio sources differ intrinsically from brighter ones. Across the entire sample, the authors find the predominant morphological classification of the host galaxies of the VLBA-detected sources to be early type (57%), although this varies with redshift and at z > 1.5 they find that spiral galaxies become the most prevalent (48%). The number of detections is high enough to study the faint radio population with statistically significant numbers. The authors demonstrate that wide-field VLBI observations, together with new calibration methods such as multi-source self-calibration and mosaicking, result in information which is difficult or impossible to obtain otherwise. This table contains 504 entries, including the 468 VLBA-detected sources and, for sources with multiple components, entries for the individual components. Among the detected sources, there are 452 single, 13 double, 2 triple and 1 quadruple source. Source entries have no suffix in their vlba_source_id, e.g., 'C3293', whereas component entries have a, b, c or d suffixes, e.g., 'C0090a' (and a value of 2 for the multi_cpt_flag parameter). This table was created by the HEASARC in December 2017 based on <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/A+A/607/A132">CDS Catalog J/A+A/607/A132</a> files vlba_cat.dat and vlba_mw.dat.

NGC 3293 Chandra X-Ray Point Source Catalog
NGC 3293 is a young stellar cluster at the northwestern periphery of the Carina Nebula Complex that has remained poorly explored until now. The authors wanted to characterize the stellar population of NGC 3293 in order to evaluate key parameters of the cluster population like the age and the mass function, and to test claims of an abnormal initial mass function (IMF) and a deficit of <= 2.5*M<sub>sun</sub> stars. Thus, they performed a deep (71 ksec) X-ray observation of NGC 3293 with Chandra in which they detected 1026 individual X-ray point sources. These X-ray data directly probe the low-mass (M <= 2*M<sub>sun</sub>) stellar population by means of the strong X-ray emission of young low-mass stars. The authors have identified counterparts for 74% of the X-ray sources in their deep near-infrared images. These data clearly show that NGC 3293 hosts a large population of ~ 1*M<sub>sun</sub> stars, refuting claims of a lack of M <= 2.5*M<sub>sun</sub> stars. The analysis of the color-magnitude diagram suggests an age of ~8-10 Myr for the low-mass population of the cluster. There are at least 511 X-ray detected stars with color-magnitude positions that are consistent with young stellar members within 7 arcminutes from the cluster center. The number ratio of X-ray detected stars in the 1-2 solar mass range versus the M >= 5*M<sub>sun</sub> stars (known from optical spectroscopy) is well consistent with the expectation from a normal field initial mass function. Most of the early B-type stars and ~20% of the later B-type stars are detected as X-ray sources. These data shows that NGC 3293 is one of the most populous stellar clusters in the entire Carina Nebula Complex (only excelled by Tr 14, and very similar to Tr 16 and Tr 15). The cluster has probably harbored several O-type stars, the supernova explosions of which may have had an important impact on the early evolution of the Carina Nebula Complex. The authors used the Chandra X-ray Observatory to perform a deep pointing of the cluster NGC 3293 with the Imaging Array of the Chandra Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer (ACIS-I). The 71-ksec observation was performed as an open time project with ObsID 16648 (PI: T. Preibisch) during Chandra Observing Cycle 15 in October 2015 (start date: 2015-10-07 T10:14:23, end date: 2015-10-08 T06:43:28). The imaging array ACIS-I provides a field of view of 17' x 17' on the sky (which corresponds to a scale of 11.3 x 11.3pc at the cluster distance of 2.3 kpc), and has a pixel size of 0.492". The aimpoint of the observation was RA(J2000) = 10<sup>h</sup> 35<sup>m</sup> 50.07<sup>s</sup>, Dec(J2000) = -58<sup>o</sup> 14' 00", which is close to the optical center of the cluster (see Fig. 1 in the reference paper). The pointing roll angle (i.e., the orientation of the detector with respect to the celestial North direction) was 140.19<sup>o</sup>. In addition to ACIS-I, one CCD detector (CCD 7 = S3) of the spectroscopic array ACIS-S was also operational during this pointing. It covers an 8.3' x 8.3' area on the sky southwest of the cluster center. While the ACIS-I chips are front-illuminated (FI), the S3 chip is back-illuminated (BI), and thus its response extends to energies below that accessible by the FI chips. This causes a substantially higher level of background in the S3 chip. Furthermore, the PSF is seriously degraded at the rather large off-axis angles of the S3 chip. These two effects led to a considerably higher detection limit for point sources in the area covered by the S3 chip compared to the region covered by the ACIS-I array. Nevertheless, the S3 data were included in the data analysis and source detection, and contributed four point sources to the total source list. At the distance of 2.3 kpc, the expected ACIS point source sensitivity limit for a three-count detection on-axis in a 71-ks observation corresponds to a minimum X-ray luminosity of L<sub>x</sub> ~ 10<sup>29.7</sup> erg s<sup>-1</sup> in the 0.5-8.0 keV energy band, assuming an extinction of A<sub>V</sub> ~ 1 mag (N<sub>H</sub> ~ 2 x 10<sup>21</sup> cm<sup>-2</sup>) typical for the stars in the central region of NGC 3293, and a thermal plasma with kT = 1 keV (which is a typical value for young stars). Using the empirical relation between X-ray luminosity and stellar mass and the temporal evolution of X-ray luminosity from the sample of young stars in the Orion Nebula Cluster, which was very well studied in the Chandra Orion Ultradeep Project (Preibisch et al. 2005, ApJS, 160, 401; Preibisch & Feigelson 2005, ApJS, 160, 390), the authors expected to detect ~90% of the ~ 1*M<sub>sun</sub> stars in the central region of the young cluster NGC 3293. The X-ray properties of the 97 B-type stars in the ACIS-
INTEGRAL OMC First Catalog of Optically Variable Sources
The Optical Monitoring Camera (OMC) on board the high-energy INTEGRAL satellite provides photometry in the Johnson V-band within a 5 by 5 degree field of view. The OMC is able to detect optical sources brighter than around V ~ 18, from a previously selected list of potential targets of interest. After more than nine years of observations, the OMC database contains light curves for more than 70 000 sources (with more than 50 photometric points each). The objectives of the present work have been to characterize the potential variability of the objects monitored by OMC, to identify periodic sources and to compute their periods, taking advantage of the stability and long monitoring time of the OMC. The first catalog of variable sources observed by OMC has been developed with observations from October 2002 to February 2010. To detect potential variability, the authors have performed a chi-squared test, finding 5263 variable sources, for 1337 of which the periods have been determined, out of an initial sample of 6071 objects with good photometric quality and more than 300 data points each. They have studied the potential periodicity of these sources using a method based on the phase dispersion minimization technique, optimized to handle light curves with very different shapes. For each object in the catalog, the median of the visual magnitude, the magnitude at maximum and minimum brightness in the light curve during the window of observations and the period, when found, are provided. The types of variable objects in the catalogue include eclipsing binaries, pulsating stars, rotating stars, eruptive stars, extragalactic objects, X-ray binaries, cataclysmic variables, Be stars and other objects with unknown kinds of variability. Links to charts for each object, including the DSS image around the target, the unfolded and folded light curves with the periods that the authors have derived and/or with the cataloged ones are provided in this database. This table was created by the HEASARC in January 2013 based on the <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/A+A/548/A79">CDS Catalog J/A+A/548/A79</a> file omc-var.dat.
