M 31 Chandra HRC X-Ray Source Catalog

The authors have obtained 17 epochs of Chandra High Resolution Camera (HRC) snapshot images, each covering most of the M31 disk. The data cover a total baseline of ~2.5 yr and contain a mean effective exposure of 17 ks. The authors measured the mean fluxes and long-term light curves for 166 objects detected in these data. At least 25% of the sources show significant variability. The cumulative luminosity function (CLF) of the disk sources is well fitted by a power law with a slope comparable to those observed in typical elliptical galaxies. The CLF of the bulge is a broken power law similar to measurements made by previous surveys. The authors note several sources in the southwestern disk with L<sub>X</sub> > 10<sup>37</sup> ergs s<sup>-1</sup>. They cross-correlate all of their sources with published optical and radio catalogs, as well as new optical data, finding counterpart candidates for 55 sources. In addition, 17 sources are likely X-ray transients. Finally, the frequency of bright X-ray transients in the M31 bulge suggests that the ratio of neutron star to black hole primaries in low-mass X-ray binaries (NS/BH) is 1. The data for this project were originally part of a survey program to look for X-ray transients in M31. Nearly every month from 1999 November to 2001 February, Chandra took HRC-I images of five fields covering most of M31. Observations were then made every few months until 2002 June. The details of the 81 Chandra observations are summarized in Table 1 of the reference paper, which is available in a machine-readable form at <a href="http://cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr/ftp/cats/J_ApJ/609/735/">http://cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr/ftp/cats/J_ApJ/609/735/</a>. The authors combined all the data into three data sets using the task merge_all. One set contained the data for the northern half of the galaxy, another contained the southern half, and the last contained the center. The authors searched for sources in the three data sets using the CIAO task wavdetect. They ran this task searching for sources on four size scales: 1, 2, 4, and 8 pixels. The pixels in the merged images were 1 arcsecond in the central 18 arcmin by 18 arcmin and 2 arcsec outside of this region. By searching on several scales, wavdetect is able to overcome the large changes in the size of the Chandra PSF from about 0.5 arcsec near the center of the field to over 10 arcsec in the outer regions of the field. A total of 166 sources were detected above their 3.5-sigma detection threshold. This table was created by the HEASARC in September 2015 based on the <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/ApJ/609">CDS Catalog J/ApJ/609</a>, 735 file table2.dat .

XMM-Newton Large-Scale Structure X-Ray Source Catalog

The XMM-Newton Large-Scale Structure (XMM-LSS) X-Ray Source Catalog contains the source list for the first 5.5 surveyed square degrees of the XMM-LSS, with a total of 3385 point-like or extended sources above a detection likelihood of 15 in either 0.5 - 2 keV or 2 - 10 keV bands. The agreement with deep log N- log S is excellent. The main parameters considered are position, count rate, source extent with associated likelihood values. A set of additional quantities such as astrometric corrections and fluxes are further calculated while errors on the position and count rate are deduced from simulations. This table contains the main parameters, while further parameters and data products (X-ray images and optical thumbnails) are available at the Milan XMM-LSS database site: <a href="http://cosmos.iasf-milano.inaf.it/~lssadmin/Website/LSS/Query">http://cosmos.iasf-milano.inaf.it/~lssadmin/Website/LSS/Query</a> This table was created by the HEASARC in February 2008 based on the <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/MNRAS/382/279">CDS Catalog J/MNRAS/382/279</a> file xlss.dat.

Spitzer Deep Wide-Field Survey 5.8 micron Epoch 2 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.

IRAS Faint Source Catalog

The Faint Source Survey (FSS) is the definitive IRAS data set for faint point sources. The FSS was produced by point-source filtering the individual detector data streams and then coadding those data streams using a trimmed-average algorithm. The resulting images, or plates, give the best estimate from the IRAS survey data of the point source flux density at every surveyed point of the sky. The Faint Source Catalog (FSC) is a compilation of the sources extracted from the FSS plates that have met reasonable reliability requirements. Averaged over the whole catalog, the FSC is at least 98.5% reliable at 12 and 25 microns, and ~94% at 60 microns. For comparison, the IRAS Point Source Catalog (PSC) is > 99.997% reliable, but the sensitivity of the FSC exceeds that of the PSC by about a factor of 2.5. The FSC contains data for 173,044 point sources in unconfused regions with flux densities typically greater than 0.2 Jy at 12, 25, and 60 microns and greater than 1.0 Jy at 100 microns.

XMM-Newton Medium Sensitivity Survey (XMS) Source Catalog

X-ray sources at intermediate fluxes (a few x 10<sup>-14</sup> erg/cm<sup>2</sup>/s) with a sky density of ~ 100 deg<sup>2</sup> are responsible for a significant fraction of the cosmic X-ray background at various energies below 10 keV. The aim of this study is to provide an unbiased and quantitative description of the X-ray source population at these fluxes and in various X-ray energy bands. The XMM-Newton Medium sensitivity Survey (XMS) includes a total of 318 X-ray sources found among the serendipitous content of 25 XMM-Newton target fields. The XMS comprises four largely overlapping source samples selected at soft (0.5 - 2 keV), intermediate (0.5 - 4.5 keV), hard (2 - 10 keV) and ultra-hard (4.5 - 7.5 keV) bands, the first three of them being flux-limited. This study reports on the optical identification of the XMS samples, complete to 85 - 95%. At the flux levels sampled by the XMS, the authors find that the X-ray sky is largely dominated by Active Galactic Nuclei. The fraction of stars in soft X-ray selected samples is below 10%, and only a few per cent for hard X-ray selected samples. They find that the fraction of optically obscured objects in the AGN population stays constant at around 15-20% for soft and intermediate band selected X-ray sources, over 2 decades of flux. The fraction of obscured objects amongst the AGN population is larger (~ 35 - 45%) in the hard or ultra-hard selected samples, and constant across a similarly wide flux range. The distribution in X-ray-to-optical flux ratio is a strong function of the selection band, with a larger fraction of sources with high values in hard selected samples. Sources with X-ray-to-optical flux ratios in excess of 10 are dominated by obscured AGN, but with a significant contribution from unobscured AGN. This table was created by the HEASARC in March 2008 based on <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/A+A/476/1191">CDS catalog J/A+A/476/1191</a> files table2.dat and table5.dat.

Chandra COSMOS (C-COSMOS) Survey X-Ray Point Source Catalog

The Chandra COSMOS Survey (C-COSMOS) is a large, 1.8 Ms, Chandra program that has imaged the central 0.5 deg<sup>2</sup> of the COSMOS field (centered at RA, Dec of 10 hours , +02 degrees) with an effective exposure of ~ 160 ks, and an outer 0.4 deg<sup>2</sup> area with an effective exposure of ~ 80 ks. The limiting source detection depths are 1.9 x 10<sup>-16</sup> erg cm<sup>-2</sup> s<sup>-1</sup> in the soft (0.5 - 2 keV) band, 7.3 x 10<sup>-16</sup> erg cm<sup>-2</sup> s<sup>-1</sup> in the hard (2 - 10 keV) band, and 5.7 x 10<sup>-16</sup> erg cm<sup>-2</sup> s<sup>-1</sup> in the full (0.5 - 10 keV) band. In this paper, the authors describe the strategy, design, and execution of the C-COSMOS survey, and present the catalog of 1761 point sources detected at a probability of being spurious of < 2 x 10<sup>-5</sup> (1655 in the full, 1340 in the soft, and 1017 in the hard bands). By using a grid of 36 heavily (~ 50%) overlapping pointing positions with the ACIS-I imager, a remarkably uniform (+/-12%) exposure across the inner 0.5 deg<sup>2</sup> field was obtained, leading to a sharply defined lower flux limit. The widely different point-spread functions obtained in each exposure at each point in the field required a novel source detection method, because of the overlapping tiling strategy, which is described in a companion paper. This method produced reliable sources down to a 7-12 counts, as verified by the resulting log N-log S curve, with sub-arcsecond positions, enabling optical and infrared identifications of virtually all sources, as reported in a second companion paper. Supporting data products for this table (including images, event files, and exposure maps) are available at the <a href="https://cosmos.astro.caltech.edu/page/xray/">COSMOS Survey website</a> and at <a href="https://irsa.ipac.caltech.edu/data/COSMOS/">IRSA</a>. At the IRSA website, it is also possible to search a database that includes "postage stamps" of the X-ray data for each source, along with the multi-wavelength optical and infrared data, including the I-band, K-band, and Spitzer 3.6-micron (Band 1) images used in the Part III paper (Civano et al. 2012) to identify the sources. See also the related table <a href="ccosmosoid.html">CCOSMOSOID</a> for the optical and infrared identifications of the surveyed X-ray point sources. This table was created by the HEASARC in November 2009 based on an electronic version of the C-COSMOS Catalog which was obtained from the Astrophysical Journal web site.

C2D Candidate YSO CLOUDS Catalog

The Cores to Disks (C2D) Spitzer Legacy Program used all three Spitzer instruments (IRAC, MIPS, and IRS) to observe sources that span the evolutionary sequence from molecular cores to protoplanetary disks, encompassing a wide range of cloud masses, stellar masses, and star-forming environments. In addition to targeting about 150 known compact cores, it surveyed with IRAC and MIPS (3.6-70 mum) the entire areas of five of the nearest large molecular clouds for new candidate protostars and substellar objects as faint as 0.001 solar luminosities. C2D observed with IRAC and MIPS about 190 systems likely to be in the early stages of planetary system formation (ages up to about 10 Myr), probing the evolution of the circumstellar dust, the raw material for planetary cores.The Candidate YSO CLOUDS Catalog lists the candidate young stellar objects (YSOs) in the C2D CLOUDS fields (ChamaeleonII (CHA_II), Lupus (LUP), Ophiuchus (OPH), Perseus (PER) and Serpens (SER)). It is derived from the Full Catalog using methodology described in Harvey et al. (2007b).

eROSITA All-Sky Survey (First 6 Months) Three-Band (2.3-5.0 keV) Source Catalog

The eROSITA telescope array aboard the Spektrum Roentgen Gamma (SRG) satellite began surveying the sky in December 2019, with the aim of producing all-sky X-ray source lists and sky maps of an unprecedented depth. The authors present catalogs of both point-like and extended sources using the data acquired in the first six months of survey operations (eRASS1; completed June 2020) over the half sky whose proprietary data rights lie with the German eROSITA Consortium. This catalog contains all X-ray sources detected in the 2.3-5 keV band with detection likelihood > 12. The 5466 sources detected in the less sensitive but harder 2.3-5 keV band is the result of the first true imaging survey of the entire sky above 2 keV. The eRASS1 main catalog, <a href="/W3Browse/erosita/erass1main.html">eRASS1MAIN</a>, contains nearly 930000 entries detected in the most sensitive 0.2-2.3 keV energy range and the sources (only the strongly associated ones) from the main catalog have been linked to eRASS1MAIN in this catalog. The reference paper presents methods to identify and flag potential spurious sources in the catalogs, which were applied for this work, and the authors tested and validated the astrometric accuracy via cross-comparison with other X-ray and multi-wavelength catalogs. The catalogs form part of the first data release (DR1) of the SRG/eROSITA all-sky survey. Beyond the X-ray catalogs, DR1 contains all detected and calibrated event files, source products (light curves and spectra), and all-sky maps. The data files are linked to the table and also accessible from the <a href="/docs/srg/erosita/">HEASARC eROSITA</a> and <a href="https://erosita.mpe.mpg.de/dr1/">eROSITA-DE ERASS1</a> websites. The catalog uses the following designation for indicating the bands for the different measurement: <pre> Band Energy range (keV) 0 0.2 - 5.0 1 0.2 - 0.6 2 0.6 - 2.3 3 2.3 - 5.0 </pre> This database table was ingested by the HEASARC in June 2024 and is based upon the <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/A+A/682/A34">CDS Catalog J/A+A/682/A34</a> file erass1-h.dat.

3rd Ariel-V SSI Catalog

The 3rd Ariel-V SSI Catalog contains a list of X-ray sources detected by the University of Leicester's Sky Survey Instrument (SSI) on the Ariel-V satellite, and published (in 2 papers) as the Ariel-V (3A) Catalog: Warwick et al. 1981, MNRAS, 197, 865 (the low galactic latitude sources) and McHardy et al. 1981, MNRAS, 197, 893 (the high galactic latitude sources). The catalog is based on observations extending over a 5.5 year period from 1974 October until 1980 March. The SSI had a field of view of 0.75 by 10.6 degrees (FWHM) and had an energy range from 2 to 18 keV. A detailed description of the SSI is given by Villa et al. 1976, MNRAS, 176, 609. For a more detailed discussion of how the 3A Catalog was created, please refer to the Warwick et al. (1981) and McHardy et al. (1981) papers. This online catalog was created by the HEASARC in March 2003 based on the merger of two original tables originally obtained from the ADC website (<a href="https://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/FTP/heasarc/dbase/misc_files/ariel3a/hilat.dat">https://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/FTP/heasarc/dbase/misc_files/ariel3a/hilat.dat</a> and <a href="https://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/FTP/heasarc/dbase/misc_files/ariel3a/lowlat.dat">https://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/FTP/heasarc/dbase/misc_files/ariel3a/lowlat.dat</a>).

Milky Way Star Clusters Catalog

Although they are the main constituents of the Galactic disk population, for half of the open clusters in the Milky Way reported in the literature nothing is known except the raw position and an approximate size. The main goal of this study is to determine a full set of uniform spatial, structural, kinematic, and astrophysical parameters for as many known open clusters as possible. On the basis of stellar data from PPMXL and 2MASS, the authors used a dedicated data-processing pipeline to determine kinematic and photometric membership probabilities for stars in a cluster region. For an input list of 3,784 targets from the literature, they confirm that 3,006 are real objects, the vast majority of them are open clusters, but associations and globular clusters are also present. For each confirmed object, the authors determined the exact position of the cluster center, the apparent size, proper motion, distance, color excess, and age. For about 1,500 clusters, these basic astrophysical parameters have been determined for the first time. For the bulk of the clusters the authors also derived the tidal radii. In addition, they estimated average radial velocities for more than 30% of the confirmed clusters. The present sample (called MWSC) reaches both the central parts of the Milky Way and its outer regions. It is almost complete up to 1.8 kpc from the Sun and also covers the neighboring spiral arms. However, for a small subset of the oldest open clusters (ages more than ~ 1 Gyr), the authors found some evidence of incompleteness within about 1 kpc from the Sun. This table contains the list of 3,006 Milky Way stellar clusters (MWSC) found in the 2MAst (2MASS with Astrometry) catalog presented in Paper II of this series (these clusters have source numbers below 4000), together with an additional 139 new open clusters (these clusters have source numbers between 5000 and 6000) found by the authors at high Galactic latitudes (|b_II_| > 18.5 degrees) which were presented in Paper III of the series, and an additional 63 new open clusters (these clusters have source numbers between 4000 and 5000) which were presented in Paper IV of the series. The target list in Paper II from which the 3,006 open clusters was contained was compiled on the basis of present-day lists of open, globular and candidate clusters. The list of new high-latitude open clusters in Paper III was obtained from a target list of 714 density enhancements found using the 2MASS Catalog. The list of new open clusters in Paper IV was obtained from an initial list of 692 compact cluster candidates which were found by the authors by conducting an almost global search of the sky (they excluded the portions of the sky with |b_II_| < 5 degrees) in the PPMXL and the UCAC4 proper-motion catalogs. For confirmed clusters, the authors determined a homogeneous set of astrophysical parameters such as membership, angular radii of the main morphological parts, mean cluster proper motions, distances, reddenings, ages, tidal parameters, and sometimes radial velocities. This table was created by the HEASARC in February 2014 based on the list of open clusters given in <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/A+A/558/A53">CDS Catalog J/A+A/558/A53</a> files catalog.dat and notes.dat. It was updated in September 2014 with 139 additional star clusters from <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/A+A/568/A51">CDS Catalog J/A+A/568/A51</a> files catalog.dat and notes.dat.

Star Formation in Nearby Clouds (SFiNCs) Probable Cluster Members Catalog

The Star Formation in Nearby Clouds (SFiNCs) project is aimed at providing a detailed study of the young stellar populations and of star cluster formation in the nearby 22 star-forming regions (SFRs) for comparison with the authors' earlier MYStIX survey of richer, more distant clusters. As a foundation for the SFiNCs science studies, in the reference paper homogeneous data analyses of the Chandra X-ray and Spitzer mid-infrared (MIR) archival SFiNCs data are described, and the resulting catalogs of over 15,300 X-ray and over 1,630,000 mid-infrared point sources are presented. On the basis of their X-ray/infrared properties and spatial distributions, nearly 8500 point sources have been identified as probable young stellar members of the SFiNCs regions. Compared to the existing X-ray/mid-infrared publications, the SFiNCs member list increases the census of YSO members by 6%-200% for individual SFRs and by 40% for the merged sample of all 22 SFiNCs SFRs. Sixty-five X-ray observations of the 22 SFiNCs SFRs made with the imaging array on the Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer (ACIS) were extracted from the Chandra archive (spanning from 2000 January to 2015 April). See Tables 1 and 2 of the reference paper for the list of SFRs and the log of Chandra ACIS observations, respectively. The final Chandra-ACIS catalog for the 22 SFiNCs SFRs comprises 15,364 X-ray sources (presented in Tables 3 and 4 and section 3.2 of the reference paper, and available as the HEASARC table, SFINCSXRAY). To obtain MIR photometry for X-ray objects and to identify and measure MIR photometry for additional non-Chandra disky stars that were missed in previous studies of the SFiNCs regions (typically faint YSOs), the authors have reduced the archived Spitzer-IRAC data by homogeneously applying the MYStIX-based Spitzer-IRAC data reduction methods of Kuhn et al. (2013, ApJS, 209, 29) to the 423 Astronomical Object Request (AORs) data sets for the 22 SFiNCs SFRs (listed in Table 5 of the reference paper). As in MYStIX, the SFiNCs IRAC source catalog retains all point sources with the photometric signal-to-noise ratio > 5 in both [3.6] and [4.5] um channels. This catalog covers the 22 SFiNCs SFRs and their vicinities on the sky and comprises 1,638,654 IRAC sources with available photometric measurements for 100%, 100%, 29%, and 23% of these sources in the 3.6, 4.5, 5.8, and 8.0um bands, respectively (see table 6 and section 3.4 of the reference paper). Source position cross-correlations between the SFiNCs Chandra X-ray source catalog and an IR catalog, either the "cut-out" IRAC or 2MASS, were made using the steps described in section 3.5 of the reference paper. Using the ensemble of X-ray and infrared data that they have obtained, the authors selected probable YSOs in the 22 SFRs using selection criteria described in section 4.1 of the reference paper. Tables 7 and 8 of the reference paper provide the list of 8,492 SFiNCs probable cluster members (SPCMs: but see below for a caveat on this number) and their main IR and X-ray properties (see section 4 of the reference paper). This present HEASARC table comprises the contents of these two tables. A fuller list of the X-ray properties of the X-ray-detected SPCMs is available in the HEASARC's SFINCSXRAY table (q.v.). This table was created by the HEASARC in September 2017 based on the <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/ApJS/229/28">CDS Catalog J/ApJS/229/28</a> files table7.dat (the IR photometry of the SFiNCs probable cluster members) and table8.dat (the main X-ray and other properties of the SFiNCs probable cluster members).

Spitzer Deep Wide-Field Survey 3.6 micron Epoch 4 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.

CMa OB1 XMM-Newton X-Ray Point Source Catalog

The Canis Major OB1 association has an intriguing scenario of star formation, especially in the region called Canis Major R1 (CMa R1) traditionally assigned to a reflection nebula, but in reality an ionized region. The authors focused on the young stellar population associated with CMa R1, for which previous results from ROSAT, optical, and near-infrared data had revealed two stellar groups with different ages, suggesting a possible mixing of populations originated from distinct star formation episodes (see the <a href="/W3Browse/rosat/cmar1xray.html">table CMAR1XRAY</a>). The authors used X-ray data to characterize the detected sources according to hardness ratios, light curves, and spectra. They also provided estimates of mass and age, using the information from likely counterparts based on the 2MASS catalogue. The 2MASS-derived data on the counterparts, where matched, are provided in the <a href="/W3Browse/xmm-newton/cmaob1nir.html">associated table (CMAOB1NIR)</a>. This table contains a catalog of 387 XMM-Newton sources, of which 78% are confirmed as members or probable members of the CMa R1 association. Flares (or similar events) were observed for 13 sources and the spectra of 21 bright sources could be fitted by a thermal plasma model. Mean values of fits parameters were used to estimate X-ray luminosities. The authors found a minimum value of log(L<sub>X</sub> [erg/s]) = 29.43, indicating that the sample of low-mass stars (M<sub>*</sub> <= 0.5 M<sub>sun</sub>), which are faint X-ray emitters, is incomplete. Among the 250 objects selected as the complete subsample (defining a "best sample"), 171 are found to the east of the cloud, near Z CMa and dense molecular gas, of which 50% of them are young (<5Myr) and 30% are older (>10Myr). The opposite happens to the west, near GU CMa, in areas lacking molecular gas: among 79 objects, 30% are young and 50% are older. These findings confirm that a first episode of distributed star formation occurred in the whole studied region ~10Myr ago and dispersed the molecular gas, while a second, localized episode (<5Myr) took place in the regions where molecular gas is still present. For this work, four fields (each about 30-arcmin diameter with some overlap) were observed with the XMM-Newton satellite. These fields are located inside the arc-shaped ionized nebula, next to Z CMa - Field E (east); around GU CMa - Field W (west); and between both - Field C (center) and Field S (south), as shown in Figure 1 of the reference paper. These observations were performed with the EPIC cameras (MOS1, MOS2, and PN) in full frame mode with a medium filter. The C, W, and S fields had an exposure time without background corrections of about 30 ks while field E had 40 ks. <pre> RA(J2000) | Dec(J2000) | Designation(s) 07 04 18.3 | -11 27 24.0 | CMa cluster east (Field E) 07 02 58.4 | -11 34 44.7 | CMa cluster center (Field C) 07 02 29.5 | -11 47 12.4 | CMa cluster south (Field S) 07 01 23.0 | -11 19 56.6 | CMa cluster west (Field W) </pre> This table was created by the HEASARC in October 2018 based upon the <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/A+A/609/A127">CDS Catalog J/A+A/609/A127</a> file tableb1.dat.

INTEGRAL Bright Source Catalog

The INTEGRAL Bright Source Catalog is based on publicly available data from the two main instruments (IBIS and SPI) on board INTEGRAL (see Winkler et al. 2003, A&A, 411, L1 for a description of the INTEGRAL spacecraft and instrument packages). INTEGRAL began collecting data in October 2002. This catalog will be regularly updated as data become public (~14 months after they are obtained). The Bright Source Catalog is a collaborative effort between the INTEGRAL Science Data Center (ISDC) in Switzerland and the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) INTEGRAL Guest Observer Facility (GOF). The results presented here are a result of a semi-automated analysis and they should be considered as approximate: they are intended to serve as a guideline to those interested in pursuing more detailed follow-up analyses. The data from the imager ISGRI (Lebrun et al. 2003, A&A, 411, L141) have been analyzed at the INTEGRAL Science Data Centre (ISDC), while the SPI (Vedrenne et al. 2003, A&A, 411, L63) data analysis was performed at GSFC as a service of the INTEGRAL GOF. This database table was first created in September 2004. It is based on the online web page maintained by the INTEGRAL GOF at the URL <a href="http://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/integral/INTEGRAL_bright_sources.html">http://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/integral/INTEGRAL_bright_sources.html</a> and is updated on a weekly basis whenever the web page is updated.

ROSAT Catalog PSPC WGA Sources

WGACAT is a point source catalog generated from all ROSAT PSPC pointed observations. This catalog has been generated by N.E. White (HEASARC/GSFC), P. Giommi (SDC/ASI) and L. Angelini (HEASARC/GSFC) and is a private research effort, not related to the official catalogs generated by the ROSAT project. The WGACAT was made first publicly available in November 1994 through the HEASARC on-line service (White, Giommi and Angelini 1994), with a first minor revision in March 1995 (WGACAT95 hereafter). It was generated using all the public ROSAT PSPC pointed data available than, corresponding to 75 % of the entire set, and featured ~ 68000 detections of which 62000 were unique sources. The current version, released in May 2000 (see also the update section), is the final and complete version of WGACAT and includes the remaining sequences not processed in the WGACAT95. WGACAT (May 2000) contains about 88,000 detections, with more than 84,000 individual sources, obtained from 4160 sequences. The catalog was generated using an optimized sliding cell detect algorithm in XIMAGE (first developed for the EXOSAT project). The inner and outer parts of the images were run separately, to maximize the sensitivity to source detection. This method is very sensitive in finding point sources, but can also find spurious sources where there is extended emission. We have visually inspected each detection, removed the obvious spurious cases and assigned a quality flag to each detection. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

C2D Full STARS Catalog

The Cores to Disks (C2D) Spitzer Legacy Program used all three Spitzer instruments (IRAC, MIPS, and IRS) to observe sources that span the evolutionary sequence from molecular cores to protoplanetary disks, encompassing a wide range of cloud masses, stellar masses, and star-forming environments. In addition to targeting about 150 known compact cores, it surveyed with IRAC and MIPS (3.6-70 mum) the entire areas of five of the nearest large molecular clouds for new candidate protostars and substellar objects as faint as 0.001 solar luminosities. C2D observed with IRAC and MIPS about 190 systems likely to be in the early stages of planetary system formation (ages up to about 10 Myr), probing the evolution of the circumstellar dust, the raw material for planetary cores.The Full STARS Catalog provides the most complete but least reliable list of sources in the C2D STARS fields (160 targeted stars).

LMC Clusters Catalog

A new catalogue of clusters in the Large Magellanic Cloud has been constructed from searches of the IIIa-J component of the ESO/SERC Southern Sky Atlas. The catalogue contains coordinate and diameter measurements of 1762 clusters in a 25 deg x 25 deg area of sky centered on the LMC, but excluding the very crowded 3.5 square deg region around the Bar. The distribution of these clusters appears as two superimposed elliptical systems. The higher density inner system extends over about 8 deg; the lower density outer system can be represented by 13 deg X 10 deg disc inclined at 42 deg to the line of sight. There are suggestions of two weak "arms" in the latter. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

Spitzer Wide-area InfraRed Extragalactic Survey ELAIS-N1 Optical-IRAC-MIPS24 Catalog

The Spitzer Wide-area InfraRed Extragalactic survey (SWIRE), the largest Spitzer Legacy program, is a wide-area, imaging survey to trace the evolution of dusty, star-forming galaxies, evolved stellar populations, and AGN as a function of environment, from redshifts z~3 to the current epoch. SWIRE surveys 6 high-latitude fields, totaling ~50 sq. deg. in all 7 Spitzer bands: 3.6, 4.5, 5.8, and 8 microns with IRAC and 24, 70, and 160 microns with MIPS (Lonsdale et al. 2003). The SWIRE Legacy Extragalactic Source Catalogs will eventually contain in excess of 2 million IR-selected galaxies, from those dominated by the light of stellar populations detected primarily by IRAC, to starbursts, ultra-luminous infrared galaxies and AGN detected also by MIPS.The main SWIRE catalogs for 24 micron data are the Optical-IRAC-MIPS24 bandmerged catalogs. The bandmerged catalogs require a detection in the shortest IRAC band (3.6 microns). The SWIRE project has produced single-band 24 micron catalogs to cover regions that lie outside the IRAC images, and to include sources that for some reason were not associated with a 3.6 micron detection.

Stern et al. (2001) BATSE Gamma-Ray Burst Catalog

The Stern et al. (2001) BATSE Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) Catalog was constructed by scanning the archival BATSE daily records (DISCLA data) covering the entire 9.1 years of BATSE's operation. 3906 GRBs were detected, 2068 of which are previously known BATSE triggers while 1838 of them are new non-triggered bursts. All events were detected in the same kind of data with 1.024 seconds time resolution and were processed with the same procedure, and thus constitute a uniform sample. This scan lowers the BATSE detection threshold to ~0.1 photons/s/cm**2. This database table was created at the HEASARC in August 2001 using the file <a href="ftp://ftp.astro.su.se/pub/head/grb/catalogs/etable2.txt">ftp://ftp.astro.su.se/pub/head/grb/catalogs/etable2.txt</a> on the Stockholm Observatory ftp site.
