ROSAT International X-Ray/Optical Survey Source Catalog

The ROSAT International X-Ray/Optical Survey (RIXOS) is a medium-sensitivity survey and optical identification program for X-ray sources which were discovered in ROSAT high Galactic latitude fields (|b| > 28 degrees) and observed with the Position Sensitive Proportional Counter (PSPC) detector. The survey made use of the central 17 arcmin of each ROSAT field. A flux limit of 3 x 10<sup>-14</sup> erg/s/cm<sup>2</sup> (0.5-2.0 keV) was adopted for this survey, and a minimum exposure time of 8000 seconds was required for qualifying ROSAT observations. X-ray sources in the survey are therefore substantially above the detection threshold of each field used, and many contain enough counts to allow the X-ray spectral slope to be estimated. Spectroscopic observations of potential counterparts were obtained of all sources down to the survey limit in 64 fields, totaling a sky area of 15.77 square degrees. Positive optical identifications are made for 94% of the 296 sources thus examined. A further 18 fields (4.44 sq deg), containing 105 sources above the 3 x 10<sup>-14</sup> erg/s/cm<sup>2</sup> survey limit, are completely optically identified to a higher flux of 8 x 10<sup>-14</sup> erg/s/cm<sup>2</sup> (0.5-2.0 keV). Optical spectroscopic data are supplemented by deep CCD imaging of many sources to reveal the morphology of the optical counterparts, and objects too faint to register on Sky Survey plates. The faintest optical counterparts have R ~ 22. This table contains the catalog of the RIXOS sources and their optical identifications. This table was originally ingested by the HEASARC in June 2005 based on CDS table J/MNRAS/311/456/rixos.dat. It was updated in November 2013 shortly after the CDS released an update with the previously inadvertently omitted source RX J111809.9+212554 (RIXOS 123_84) included.

SSA22 Field Chandra X-Ray Point Source Catalog

This table contains the main X-ray point-source catalog for a deep ~400-ks Chandra ACIS-I (Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer) exposure of the SSA22 field. The observations were centred on a z = 3.09 protocluster, which is populated by Lyman break galaxies (LBGs), Lyman-alpha emitters (LAEs) and extended Lyman-alpha-emitting blobs (LABs). The survey reached ultimate (3 count) sensitivity limits of ~5.7 x 10<sup>-17</sup> and ~3.0 x 10<sup>-16</sup> erg cm<sup>-2</sup> s<sup>-1</sup> for the 0.5-2 and 2-8 keV bands, respectively (corresponding to L(2-10 keV) ~ 5.7 x 10<sup>42</sup> erg s<sup>-1</sup> and L(10-30 keV) ~ 2.0 x 10<sup>43</sup> erg s<sup>-1</sup> at z = 3.09, respectively, for an assumed photon index of Gamma = 1.4). These limits make SSA22 the fourth deepest extragalactic Chandra survey yet conducted, and the only one focused on a known high-redshift structure. In total, the authors detect 297 X-ray point sources and identify one obvious bright extended X-ray source (not included in the current table) over a ~330 arcmin<sup>2</sup> region. In addition to the X-ray data, the authors provide all available optical spectroscopic redshifts and near-infrared and mid-infrared photometry available for their sources. The basic X-ray and infrared properties of their Chandra sources indicate a variety of source types, although absorbed active galactic nuclei (AGN) appear to dominate. In total, they have identified 12 X-ray sources (either via optical spectroscopic redshifts or LAE selection) at z = 3.06 - 3.12 that are likely to be associated with the SSA22 protocluster. These sources have X-ray and multiwavelength properties that suggest they are powered by AGN with 0.5 - 8 keV luminosities in the range of ~ 10<sup>43</sup> - 10<sup>45</sup> erg s<sup>-1</sup>. The authors have analysed the AGN fraction of sources in the protocluster as a function of local LAE source density and find suggestive evidence for a correlation between AGN fraction and local LAE source density (at the ~96 per cent confidence level), implying that supermassive black hole growth at z ~3 is strongest in the highest density regions. This table was created by the HEASARC in February 2010 based on the electronic version of Table 2 from the reference paper which was obtained from the Monthly Notices web site.

NGC 4649 Chandra X-Ray Point Source Catalog 2

This table contains the main X-ray source catalog for the Chandra monitoring observations of the 16.5-Mpc distant elliptical galaxy, NGC 4649. The galaxy has been observed with Chandra ACIS-S3 in six separate pointings, reaching a total exposure of 299 ks. There are 501 X-ray sources detected in the 0.3-8.0 keV band in the merged observation or in one of the six individual observations; 399 sources are located within the D<sub>25</sub> ellipse. The observed 0.3-8.0 keV luminosities of these 501 sources range from 9.3 x 10<sup>36</sup> erg s<sup>-1</sup> to 5.4 x 10<sup>39</sup> erg s<sup>-1</sup>. The 90% detection completeness limit within the D<sub>25</sub> ellipse is 5.5 x 10<sup>37</sup> erg s<sup>-1</sup>. Based on the surface density of background active galactic nuclei (AGNs) and the detection completeness, we expect ~ 45 background AGNs among the catalog sources (~ 15 within the D<sub>25</sub> ellipse). There are nine sources with luminosities greater than 10<sup>39</sup> erg s<sup>-1</sup>, which are candidates for ultraluminous X-ray sources. The nuclear source of NGC 4649 is a low-luminosity AGN, with an intrinsic 2.0-8.0 keV X-ray luminosity of 1.5 x 10<sup>38</sup> erg s<sup>-1</sup>. The X-ray colors suggest that the majority of the catalog sources are low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs). The authors find that 164 of the 501 X-ray sources show long-term variability, indicating that they are accreting compact objects, and discover four transient candidates and another four potential transients. They also identify 173 X-ray sources (141 within the D<sub>25</sub> ellipse) that are associated with globular clusters (GCs) based on Hubble Space Telescope and ground-based data; these LMXBs tend to be hosted by red GCs. Although NGC 4649 has a much larger population of X-ray sources than the structurally similar early-type galaxies, NGC 3379 and NGC 4278, the X-ray source properties are comparable in all three systems. This HEASARC table contains the main Chandra source catalog of the basic properties of the 501 X-ray detected sources (Table 3 in the reference paper which includes both sources detected in the merged X-ray image as well as a number only detected in the individual observations), and also the information on source counts, hardness ratios and soft and hard X-ray colors in the merged observation for the same 501 X-ray detected sources (Table 4 in the reference paper). It does not contain the information on source counts, hardness ratios and soft and hard X-ray colors for these same sources in the six individual observations that were contained in Tables 5 - 10 of the reference paper. This table was created by the HEASARC in March 2013 based on the electronic version of Tables 3 and 4 from the reference paper which were obtained from the ApJS website..

Arches and Quintuplet Clusters Chandra X-Ray Point Source Catalog

The Galactic centre (GC) provides a unique laboratory for a detailed examination of the interplay between massive star formation and the nuclear environment of our Galaxy. Here are presented some of the results from a 100-ks Chandra Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer (ACIS) observation of the Arches and Quintuplet star clusters in the form of a catalog of 244 point-like X-ray sources detected in the observation. The deep Chandra ACIS-I observation (Obs. ID: 4500) was carried out on 2004 June 9. The Arches cluster was placed about 1-arcmin away from the aim point to minimize the effect of the CCD gaps on mapping the extended X-ray emission around the cluster. This table was created by the HEASARC in July 2007 based on <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/MNRAS/371/38">CDS Catalog J/MNRAS/371/38</a> file table1.dat.

NGC 2808 XMM-Newton X-Ray Point Source Catalog

Galactic globular clusters harbor binary systems that are detected as faint X-ray sources. These close binaries are thought to play an important role in the stability of the clusters by liberating energy and delaying the inevitable core collapse of globular clusters. The inventory of close binaries and their identification is therefore essential. This table contains some of the results, namely an X-ray source catalog, from XMM-Newton observations of the Galactic globular cluster NGC 2808. The authors use X-ray spectral and variability analysis combined with ultraviolet observations made with the XMM-Newton optical monitor and published data from the Hubble Space Telescope to identify sources associated with the clusters. They compare the results of their observations with estimates from population synthesis models. Five sources out of 96 X-ray sources detected above 4-sigma significance are likely to be related to NGC 2808. The authors find one quiescent neutron star low-mass X-ray binary candidate in the core of NGC 2808, and propose that the majority of the central sources in NGC 2808 are cataclysmic variables. An estimation leads to 20 +/- 10 cataclysmic variables with luminosity above 4.25 x 10<sup>31</sup> erg s<sup>-1</sup>. Millisecond pulsars could also be present in the core of NGC 2808, and some sources outside the half-mass radius could possibly be linked to the cluster. NGC 2808 was observed on February 1st 2005, for 41.8 kiloseconds (ks) with the three European Photon Imaging Cameras (EPIC MOS1, MOS2 and pn) on board the XMM-Newton observatory, in imaging mode, using a full frame window and a medium filter. This table was created by the HEASARC in February 2009 based on the electronic version of Table 2 from the paper which was obtained from the CDS (their catalog J/A+A/480/397 file table2.dat).

ROSAT 13-hour Field XMM-Newton X-Ray Source Catalog

This table contains the results of a deep X-ray survey conducted with XMM-Newton, centered on the UK ROSAT 13-hours deep field area. This region covers 0.18 square degrees, and is the first of the two areas covered with XMM-Newton as part of an extensive multi-wavelength survey designed to study the nature and evolution of the faint X-ray source population. This table contains the final catalog of 225 sources. Within the central 9 arcminutes, 68% of the source positions are accurate to 2 arcseconds, making optical follow-up relatively straightforward. The authors construct the N(>S) relation in four energy bands: 0.2-0.5, 0.5-2, 2-5 and 5-10 keV. In all but the highest energy band, they find that the source counts can be represented by a double power law with a bright-end slope consistent with the Euclidean case and a break around 10<sup>-14</sup> erg cm<sup>-2</sup> s<sup>-1</sup>. Below this flux, the counts exhibit a flattening. The 13-hours deep field is centered on the sky coordinates RA(J2000) = 13 34 37.1, Dec (J2000) = +37 53 02.2. The XMM-Newton observations were carried out in three separate revolutions during June 2001 for a total exposure time of 200ks. Approximately 40% of the total observation time was affected by high particle background flares, arising from soft protons hitting the detector. The data were therefore temporally filtered to remove these high-background periods. Filtering reduced the total useful exposure time from ~200 ks to ~120 ks. This table was created by the HEASARC in August 2007 based on <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/MNRAS/362/1371">CDS catalog J/MNRAS/362/1371</a> file table9.dat.

SWIRE/Chandra Lockman Hole Field X-Ray Source Catalog

The authors have carried out a moderate-depth (70 ks), contiguous 0.7 square degrees Chandra survey in the Lockman Hole Field of the Spitzer/SWIRE Legacy Survey coincident with a completed, ultra-deep VLA survey with deep optical and near-infrared imaging in-hand. The primary motivation is to distinguish starburst galaxies and active galactic nuclei (AGNs), including the significant, highly obscured (log N<sub>H</sub> > 23 cm<sup>-2</sup>) subset. Chandra has detected 775 X-ray sources to a limiting broadband (0.3 - 8 keV) flux of ~4 x 10<sup>-16</sup> erg cm<sup>-2</sup> s<sup>-1</sup>. This table contains the X-ray catalog, fluxes, hardness ratios, and multi-wavelength fluxes. The log N versus log S agrees with those of previous surveys covering similar flux ranges. The Chandra and Spitzer flux limits are well matched: 771 (99%) of the X-ray sources have infrared (IR) or optical counterparts, and 333 have MIPS 24-micron detections. There are four optical-only X-ray sources and four with no visible optical/IR counterpart. The very deep (~2.7 microJansky rms) VLA data yield 251 (> 4 sigma) radio counterparts, 44% of the X-ray sources in the field. The authors confirm that the tendency for lower X-ray flux sources to be harder is primarily due to absorption. As expected, there is no correlation between observed IR and X-ray fluxes. Optically bright, type 1, and red AGNs lie in distinct regions of the IR versus X-ray flux plots, demonstrating the wide range of spectral energy distributions in this sample and providing the potential for classification/source selection. Many optically bright sources, which lie outside the AGN region in the optical versus X-ray plots (f<sub>r</sub>/f<sub>x</sub> > 10), lie inside the region predicted for red AGNs in IR versus X-ray plots, consistent with the presence of an active nucleus. More than 40% of the X-ray sources in the VLA field are radio-loud using the classical definition of R<sub>L</sub>. The majority of these are red and relatively faint in the optical so that the use of R<sub>L</sub> to select those AGNs with the strongest radio emission becomes questionable. Using the 24-micron to radio flux ratio (q<sub>24</sub>) instead results in 13 of the 147 AGNs with sufficient data being classified as radio-loud, in good agreement with the ~10% expected for broad-lined AGNs based on optical surveys. The authors conclude that q<sub>24</sub> is a more reliable indicator of radio-loudness. Use of R<sub>L</sub> should be confined to the optically selected type 1 AGN. This table was created by the HEASARC in December 2009 based on the machine-readable versions of Tables 3, 4 and 7 from the reference paper which was obtained from the Astrophysical Journal web site.

NGC 1512/NGC 1510 XMM-Newton X-Ray Point Source Catalog

The galaxy NGC 1512 is interacting with the smaller galaxy NGC 1510 and shows a peculiar morphology, characterized by two extended arms immersed in an HI disc whose size is about four times larger than the optical diameter of NGC 1512. The authors have performed the first deep X-ray observation of the galaxies NGC 1512 and NGC 1510 with XMM-Newton to gain information on the population of X-ray sources and diffuse emission in this system of interacting galaxies. They have identified and classified the sources detected in the XMM-Newton field of view by means of spectral analysis, hardness-ratios calculated with a Bayesian method, X-ray variability, and cross-correlations with catalogs in optical, infrared, and radio wavelengths. They also made use of archival Swift (X-ray) and Australia Telescope Compact Array (radio) data to better constrain the nature of the sources detected with XMM-Newton. They detected 106 sources in the energy range of 0.2 - 12 keV, out of which 15 are located within the D<sub>25</sub> regions of NGC 1512 and NGC 1510 and at least six sources coincide with the extended arms. They identified and classified six background objects and six foreground stars. In the reference paper, they discuss the nature of a source within the D<sub>25</sub> ellipse of NGC 1512, whose properties indicate a quasi-stellar object or an intermediate ultra-luminous X-ray source. Taking into account the contribution of low-mass X-ray binaries and active galactic nuclei, the number of high-mass X-ray binaries detected within the D<sub>25</sub> region of NGC 1512 is consistent with the star formation rate obtained in previous works based on radio, infrared optical, and UV wavelengths. The authors detected diffuse X-ray emission from the interior region of NGC 1512 with a plasma temperature of kT = 0.68(0.31-0.87) keV and a 0.3 - 10 keV X-ray luminosity of 1.3E+38erg/s, after correcting for unresolved discrete sources. The galaxy pair NGC 1512/1510 was observed with XMM-Newton (ObsID: 0693160101) between 2012 June 16 (20:31 UTC) and 2012 June 17 (16:24 UTC) in a single, 63-ks exposure observation. The data analysis was performed through the XMM-Newton Science Analysis System (SAS) software (version 12.0.1). The observation was largely contaminated by high background due to proton flares. After rejecting time intervals affected by high background, the net good exposure time was reduced to 26.0 ks for PN, 39.8 ks for the MOS1 and 34.8 ks for the MOS2. For each instrument, the data were divided into five energy bands: <pre> B<sub>1</sub> : 0.2 - 0.5 keV B<sub>2</sub> : 0.5 - 1.0 keV B<sub>3</sub> : 1.0 - 2.0 keV B<sub>4</sub> : 2.0 - 4.5 keV B<sub>5</sub> : 4.5 - 12.0 keV </pre> For the PN, data were filtered to include only single events (PATTERN = 0) in the energy band B__1, and single and double events (PATTERN <= 4) for the other energy bands. The authors excluded the energy range 7.2 - 9.2 keV to reduce the background produced by strong fluorescence lines in the outer detector area. For the MOS, single to quadruple events (PATTERN <= 12) were selected. The source detection procedure is described in Section 2.1 of the reference paper. In the final step, the authors adopted a minimum likelihood of L = 6. They removed false detections (artifacts on the detectors or diffuse emission structures) by visual inspection. They detected 106 total point sources in the NGC 1512/1510 field of view. This table was created by the HEASARC in July 2014 based on <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/A+A/566/A115">CDS Catalog J/A+A/566/A115</a> files tableb1.dat and tableb2.dat.

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.

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.

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.

Omega Centauri Globular Cluster Chandra X-Ray Point Source Catalog

The authors analyzed a ~ 70 ks Chandra Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer (ACIS) exposure of the globular cluster Omega Cen (NGC 5139). The ~ 17' x 17' field of view fully encompasses three cluster core radii and almost twice the half-mass radius. They detected 180 sources to a limiting flux of ~ 4.3 x10 <sup>-16</sup> erg/cm<sup>2</sup>/s (L<sub>x</sub> = 1.2 x 10<sup>30</sup> erg/s at the 4.9 kpc distance to the cluster). After accounting for the number of active galactic nuclei and possible foreground stars among the detected X-ray sources, they estimate that 45-70 of the sources are cluster members. Four of the X-ray sources have previously been identified as accreting compact binaries in the cluster - three cataclysmic variables (CVs) and one quiescent neutron star. Correlating the Chandra positions with known variable stars yields 8 matches, of which 5 are probable cluster members that are likely to be binary stars with active coronae. Extrapolating these optical identifications to the remaining unidentified X-ray source population, the authors estimate that 20 - 35 of the sources are CVs and a similar number are active binaries. This likely represents most of the CVs in the cluster, but only a small fraction of all the active binaries. The authors place a 2-sigma upper limit of L<sub>x</sub> < 3 x 10<sup>30</sup> erg/s on the integrated luminosity of any additional faint, unresolved population of sources in the core of the cluster. In their paper, they explore the significance of these findings in the context of primordial versus dynamical channels for CV formation. They note that the number of CVs per unit mass in Omega Cen is at least 2 - 3 times lower than in the field, suggesting that primordial binaries that would otherwise lead to CVs are being destroyed in the cluster environment. The authors obtained 2 exposures of Omega Cen using the imaging array of the Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer (ACIS-I) on 2000 January 24 - 25, in "very faint" (VF) mode. The total exposure time was 72.4 ks. The authors determined source counts using 95% encircled energy radii as determined from model PSFs, derived using the CIAO tool mkpsf at an intermediate energy of ~ 1.5 keV (the PSF shape being somewhat energy dependent). Counts were extracted in three bands: "soft" (0.5 - 1.5 keV), "medium" (0.5 - 4.5 keV), and "hard" (1.5 - 6.0 keV). The authors determined the background to subtract from each source by dividing the image into 1 arcminute-wide annuli centered on the aim point in chip 3 (the innermost "annulus" being a circle of radius 1.5 arcminutes). Background values adopted for sources in a given annulus were averages determined from several source-free regions within that annulus, after verifying that the background levels were azimuthally symmetric. For 12 sources ( source_numbers 11b, 12b, 13e, 22c, 32c, 41b, 41c, 84a, 84b, 84c, 93a, and 93b) that fell in the chip gaps or near the outer edge of a chip, background regions were chosen specifically to reflect these conditions. Local background determinations were also made for a small number of sources to the west of the cluster center that lie on or near a large diffuse X-ray source ~7 arcminutes west of the cluster center (see below). Following background subtraction, the authors applied aperture corrections and also corrected for reduced effective exposure times off-axis and in the chip gaps using the exposure map.

M 83 Chandra X-Ray Binary Classifications Using HST

Building on recent work by Chandar+ (2020, J/ApJ/890/150), the authors constructed X-ray luminosity functions (XLFs) for different classes of X-ray binary (XRB) donors in the nearby star-forming galaxy M 83. Rather than classifying low-versus high-mass XRBs based on the scaling of the number of X-ray sources with stellar mass and star formation rate, respectively, this catalog utilized multi-band Hubble Space Telescope imaging data to classify each Chandra-detected compact X-ray source as a low-mass (i.e., donor mass < ~3M<sub>sun</sub>), high-mass (donor mass > ~8M<sub>sun</sub>), or intermediate-mass XRB based on either the location of its candidate counterpart on optical color-magnitude diagrams or the age of its host star cluster. In addition to the standard (single and/or truncated) power-law functional shape, the authors approximated the resulting XLFs with a Schechter function. They identified a marginally significant (at the 1-sigma to 2-sigma level) exponential downturn for the high-mass XRB XLF, at l~38.48<sub>-0.33</sub><sup>+0.52</sup> (in log CGS units). In contrast, the low- and intermediate-mass XRB XLFs, as well as the total XLF of M 83, are formally consistent with sampling statistics from a single power law. This method suggests a non-negligible contribution from low- and possibly intermediate-mass XRBs to the total XRB XLF of M 83, i.e., between 20% and 50%, in broad agreement with X-ray-based XLFs. More generally, the authors caution against considerable contamination from X-ray emitting supernova remnants to the published, X-ray-based XLFs of M 83, and possibly all actively star-forming galaxies. This table presents a fully classified catalog of X-ray sources in M 83 that builds upon the deep Chandra ACIS imaging data published in Lehmer+ 2019 (J/ApJS/243/3). Out of a total of 456 point-like sources brighter than 10<sup>35</sup>erg/s, this work restricts the analysis to the 325 objects that fall within the M 83 HST footprint. HST observations of M 83 were taken with the WFC3/UVIS instrument, spanning seven fields that each cover approximately 162" x 162" for a total mosaic area of ~43 arcmin<sup>2</sup>. All observations were obtained between 2009 August and 2012 September by R. O'Connell (Prop ID. 11360) and W. Blair (Prop ID. 12513), with exposure times ranging from ~1.2 to 2.7 ks for each image. Images were downloaded from the Hubble Legacy Archive (HLA). In general, BVI images are created using the F438W, F547M, and F814W filters. The central field, which includes the galaxy nucleus, uses the broader F555W V-band filter, rather than F547M. The authors also use U-band images (F336W) to help calculate cluster ages. This table was created by the HEASARC in March 2023 based upon the <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/ApJ/912/31">CDS Catalog J/ApJ/912/31</a> file tablea2.dat.

ELAIS S1 Field X-Ray Source Optical/IR Identifications Catalog

This table contains the optical identifications and a multi-band catalog of a sample of 478 X-ray sources detected in the XMM-Newton and Chandra surveys of the central 0.6 deg<sup>2</sup> of the ELAIS-S1 field. The most likely optical/infrared counterpart of each X-ray source was identified using the chance coincidence probability in the R and IRAC 3.6 micron bands.This method was complemented by the precise positions obtained through Chandra observations. The authors were able to associate a counterpart to each X-ray source in the catalogue. Approximately 94% of them are detected in the R band, while the remaining are blank fields in the optical down to R ~ 24.5, but have a near-infrared counterpart detected by IRAC within 6 arcsec of the XMM-Newton centroid. The multi-band catalog, produced using the positions of the identified optical counterparts, contains photometry in ten photometric bands, from B to the MIPS 24 micron band. The spectroscopic follow-up allowed us to determine the redshift and classification for 237 sources (~ 50% of the sample) brighter than R = 24. The spectroscopic redshifts were complemented by reliable photometric redshifts for 68 sources. The authors classified 47% of the sources with spectroscopic redshift as broad-line active galactic nuclei (BL AGNs) with z = 0.1-3.5, while sources without broad-lines (NOT BL AGNs) are about 46% of the spectroscopic sample and are found up to z = 2.6. The remaining fraction is represented by extended X-ray sources and stars. The authors spectroscopically identified 11 type 2 QSOs among the sources with F(2-10 keV)/F(R) > 8, with redshift between 0.9 and 2.6, high 2-10 keV luminosity (log L(2-10 keV) >= 43.8 erg/s) and hard X-ray colors suggesting large absorbing columns at the rest frame (log N<sub>H</sub> up to 23.6 cm<sup>-2</sup>). BL AGNs show on average blue optical-to-near-infrared colors, softer X-ray colors and X-ray-to-optical colors typical of optically selected AGNs. Conversely, narrow-line sources show redder optical colors, harder X-ray flux ratio and span a wider range of X-ray-to-optical colors. On average the Spectral Energy Distributions (SEDs) of high-luminosity BL AGNs resemble the power-law typical of unobscured AGNs. The SEDs of NOT BLAGNs are dominated by the galaxy emission in the optical/near-infrared, and show a rise in the mid-infrared which suggests the presence of an obscured active nucleus. The authors have used the infrared-to-optical colors and near-infrared SEDs to infer the properties of the AGN host galaxies. Identifications and photometric parameters for 478 sources detected by XMM-Newton in the ELAIS-S1 field are given. For each source, the X-ray positions and fluxes, optical position and photometry, Spitzer IRAC and MIPS 24 micron positions and fluxes, spectroscopic redshift where available, photometric redshift and SED shape classification are given.

ROSAT All-Sky Survey and SDSS DR5 Sample of X-Ray Emitting AGN

This table contains further results of a program aimed at yielding ~ 10<sup>4</sup> fully characterized optical identifications of ROSAT X-ray sources. The program employs X-ray data from the ROSAT All Sky Survey (RASS) and both optical imaging and spectroscopic data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). RASS/SDSS data from 5740 deg<sup>2</sup> of sky spectroscopically covered in SDSS Data Release 5 (DR5) provide an expanded catalog of 7000 confirmed quasars and other active galactic nuclei (AGN) that are probable RASS identifications. Again, in this expanded catalog the identifications as X-ray sources are statistically secure, with only a few percent of the SDSS AGNs likely to be randomly superposed on unrelated RASS X-ray sources. Most identifications continue to be quasars and Seyfert 1 galaxies with 15 < m < 21 and 0.01 < z < 4, but the total sample size has grown to include very substantial numbers of even quite rare AGN, e.g., it now includes several hundreds of candidate X-ray-emitting BL Lac objects and narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies. In addition to exploring rare subpopulations, such a large total sample may be useful when considering correlations between the X-ray and the optical and may also serve as a resource list from which to select the ``best'' object (e.g., the X-ray-brightest AGN of a certain subclass at a preferred redshift or luminosity) for follow-up X-ray spectral or alternate detailed studies. Much more information on the SDSS is available at the project's web site at <a href="http://www.sdss.org/">http://www.sdss.org/</a>. This table was created by the HEASARC in February 2007 based on the combination of the electronic versions of tables 1 through 6 from the above reference which were obtained from the electronic AJ website. It replaces a previous version containing the results presented by Anderson et al. (2003, AJ, 126, 2209) which were based on a cross-correlation of the RASS with optical data from very early on in the SDSS program, e.g., extending back to the 'Early Data Release' before SDSS photometric calibrations were complete.

NGC 6530 XMM-Newton X-Ray Point Source Catalog

This table contains the results of a 20 ks XMM-Newton observation of the Lagoon Nebula (M 8). The EPIC images of this region reveal a cluster of point sources, most of which have optical counterparts inside the very young open cluster NGC 6530. The bulk of these X-ray sources are probably associated with low and intermediate mass pre-main sequence stars. One of the sources experienced a flare-like increase of its X-ray flux making it the second brightest source in M 8 after the O4 star 9 Sgr. The X-ray spectra of most of the brightest sources can be fitted with thermal plasma models with temperatures of kT ~ a few keV. Only a few of the X-ray selected PMS candidates are known to display H-alpha emission and were previously classified as classical T Tauri stars. This suggests that most of the X-ray emitting PMS stars in NGC 6530 are weak-line T Tauri stars. In addition to 9 Sgr, the EPIC field of view contains also a few early-type stars. This table contains information on 117 of the 119 X-ray sources (2 sources, a point source associated with 9 Sgr and an extended source associated with the Hourglass Nebula were excluded from this table by the authors) that were detected using the SAS source detection algorithms in the soft band (0.5 - 1.2 keV) of an EPIC observation of 9 Sgr which have either a combined likelihood >= 20 and are detected in the individual images from all 3 EPIC instruments with -ln p_i >= 3.0 or (in two cases) where clearly detected in 2 of the 3 instruments but fell outside of the FOV of the third. The faintest sources in this category have about 10-3 cts s<sup>-1</sup> over the 0.5 - 1.2 keV band of the MOS instruments. Assuming a 1 keV thermal spectrum with a neutral hydrogen column density of 0.17 x 10<sup>22</sup> cm<sup>-2</sup>, the faintest sources correspond to an observed flux of about 8.9 x 10<sup>-15</sup> erg cm<sup>-2</sup> s<sup>-1</sup> and an unabsorbed flux of 13.1 x 10<sup>-15</sup> erg cm<sup>-2</sup> s<sup>-1</sup> in the 0.5 - 5.0 keV energy range. Note that the corresponding observed flux in the 0.5 - 1.2 keV soft band would be 5.2 x 10<sup>-15</sup> erg cm<sup>-2</sup> s<sup>-1</sup>. 72 X-ray sources have a single optical counterpart from the Sung et al (2000, <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/AJ/120/333">CDS Cat. <J/AJ/120/333></a>) catalog or in the SIMBAD database within a radius of less than 9 arcsec. The average angular separation between the X-ray source and the optical counterpart is 4.1 +/- 2.1 arcseconds. 17 X-ray sources have two or more optical stars falling within the 9 arcsec radius. Seven of these sources have at least one known H-alpha emission star inside their error box. 28 sources do not have an optical counterpart in the catalogue of Sung et al. The authors have cross-correlated these sources with the Guide Star Catalog and, in most cases, they find one or several GSC objects inside the 9 arcsec radius. These optical counterparts are usually very faint (V or R >=17) except for sources 91, 92 and 94 that have counterparts with R magnitudes 15.0, 14.6 and 13.3 respectively (note that these sources fall outside the area investigated by Sung et al.). Sources 93, 96, 98, 99, 100, 101, 102 and 112 have no GSC counterpart. Most of the objects in Table 3 are therefore X-ray sources with high X-ray to visual luminosity ratios. Given the galactic coordinates of NGC 6530 (l_II = 6.14, b_II = -1.38), the total galactic column density along this line of sight must be extremely large and the number of extragalactic sources in the soft detection energy band should be extremely low.

Marano Field XMM-Newton X-Ray Source Optical Counterparts

This table contains some of the results from a medium deep XMM-Newton survey of the Marano Field and optical follow-up observations. The mosaicked XMM-Newton pointings in this optical quasar survey field cover 0.6 deg<sup>2</sup> with a total of 120 ks good observation time. 328 X-ray sources were detected in total with detection likelihoods ML >= 5. The X-ray fluxes are in the range f<sub>X</sub> = (0.16 - 54) x 10<sup>-14</sup> erg cm<sup>-2</sup> s<sup>-1</sup> (0.2 - 10 keV). The turnover flux of this sample is f<sub>X</sub> ~ 5 x 10<sup>-15</sup> erg/cm<sup>2</sup>/s in this same energy band. With VLT FORS1 and FORS2 spectroscopy 96 new X-ray counterparts have been classified. The central 0.28 deg<sup>2</sup> region, where detailed optical follow-up observations were performed, contains ~ 170 X-ray sources (detection likelihood ML > 10), out of which 48 had already been detected by ROSAT. In this region 23 out of 29 optically selected quasars have been recovered. With a total of 110 classifications in their core sample, the authors have reached a completeness of ~65%. About one-third of the XMM-Newton sources are classified as type II AGN with redshifts mostly below 1.0. Furthermore, five high redshift type II AGN (2.2 <= z <= 2.8) have been detected. This table contains the list of the 195 optical counterparts for 172 of the XMM-Newton X-ray sources given in Table 8 of the reference paper. It does not contain the full list of 328 X-ray sources given in Table A1 of the reference paper, nor the lists of marginal X-ray sources given in Appendix B of the reference paper.

Massive Star-Forming Regions Omnibus X-Ray Catalog

This table contains the Massive Star-forming Regions (MSFRs) Omnibus X-ray Catalog (MOXC), a compendium of X-ray point sources from Chandra/ACIS observations of a selection of MSFRs across the Galaxy, plus 30 Doradus in the Large Magellanic Cloud. MOXC consists of 20,623 X-ray point sources from 12 MSFRs with distances ranging from 1.7 kpc to 50 kpc, and comprises Table 3 of the reference paper. In their paper, the authors show the morphology of the unresolved X-ray emission that remains after the cataloged X-ray point sources are excised from the ACIS data, in the context of Spitzer and WISE observations that trace the bubbles, ionization fronts, and photon-dominated regions that characterize MSFRs. In previous work, they have found that this unresolved X-ray emission is dominated by hot plasma from massive star wind shocks. This diffuse X-ray emission is found in every MOXC MSFR, clearly demonstrating that massive star feedback (and the several-million-degree plasmas that it generates) is an integral component of MSFR physics. The Chandra observations used for the Massive Star-forming Regions Omnibus X-ray Catalog (MOXC) are summarized in Table 2 of the reference paper and have dates ranging from 2000-04-03 to 2013-01-31 for the 12 MSFRs: the 7 MYStIX targets NGC 6334, NGC 6357, M 16, M 17, W 3, W 4 and NGC 3576, and the 5 "beyond-MYStIX" targets G333.6-0.2, W 51A, G29.96-0.02, NGC 3603 and 30 Doradus. A similar table to MOXC for other MYStIX targets was presented by Kuhn et al. (2013, ApJS, 209, 27, available as the HEASARC MYSTIXXRAY table). The main difference between that table and the MOXC version is that the present authors have chosen to omit absorption-corrected X-ray source luminosities from the XPHOT algorithm (Getman et al. 2010, ApJ, 708, 1760) herein, because those quantities are given in Broos et al. (2013, ApJS, 209, 32, available as the HEASARC MYSTIXMPCM table) for relevant MYStIX X-ray sources (those classified as pre-main sequence stars). For beyond-MYStIX targets, the authors chose to postpone XPHOT calculations until the X-ray sources were classified, since XPHOT estimates are only appropriate for pre-MS stars. The XPHOT code is available (Getman et al. 2012, Astrophysics Source Code Library, record ascl.soft12002) if others wish to use it on MOXC sources. All photometric quantities in this table are apparent (not corrected for absorption). The HEASARC has used prefixes 'fb_', 'sb_' and 'hb_' (replacing the suffixes '_t', '_s' and '_h' used in the reference paper) on the names of the X-ray photometric quantities which designate the full (total, 0.5 - 8 keV), soft (0.5 - 2.0 keV) and hard (2-8 keV) energy bands. Correction for finite extraction apertures is applied to the ancillary reference file (ARF) calibration products (see Broos et al. 2010, ApJ, 714, 1582, Section 5.3); the total_counts and counts quantities characterize the extraction and are not aperture-corrected. The only calibrated quantities presented are the apparent photon fluxes, in units of photon cm<sup>-2</sup> s<sup>-1</sup> (see Broos et al. 2010, ApJ, 714, 1582, Section 7.4), and estimates for the apparent energy fluxes, in units of erg cm<sup>-2</sup> s<sup>-1</sup> (Getman et al. 2010, ApJ, 708, 1760).

Swift X-Ray Telescope Cluster Survey Catalog

This table contains the Swift X-ray Cluster Survey (SWXCS) catalog obtained using archival data from the X-ray telescope (XRT) on board the Swift satellite acquired from 2005 February to 2012 November, extending the first release of the SWXCS. The catalog provides positions and soft X-ray fluxes for a flux-limited sample of X-ray group and cluster candidates. In Table 3 of the reference paper (available at the HEASARC as the linked table SWXCSOXID), when possible, optical counterparts are given for these candidates. The authors consider the fields with Galactic latitude |b| > 20 degrees so as to avoid regions of high H I column density. They discard all of the observations targeted at groups or clusters of galaxies, as well as particular extragalactic fields not suitable for searching for faint extended sources. The authors finally select ~ 3000 useful fields covering a total solid angle of ~ 400 deg<sup>2</sup>. They identify extended source candidates in the soft-band (0.5-2 keV) images of these fields using the software EXSdetect, which is specifically calibrated for the XRT data. Extensive simulations are used to evaluate contamination and completeness as a function of the source signal, allowing the authors to minimize the number of spurious detections and to robustly assess the selection function. The final catalog includes 263 candidate galaxy clusters and groups down to a flux limit of 7 x 10<sup>-15</sup> erg/cm<sup>2</sup>/s in the soft band (0.5 - 2.0 keV), and the log N - log S is in very good agreement with previous deep X-ray surveys. In the reference paper, the final list of sources is cross-correlated with published optical, X-ray, and Sunyaev-Zel'dovich catalogs of clusters. The authors find that 137 sources have been previously identified as clusters in the literature in independent surveys, while 126 are new detections. Currently, they have collected redshift information for 158 sources (60% of the entire sample). From the entire Swift XRT archive in the period 2005 February-2012 November, the authors have selected all the fields that can be used to build an unbiased, serendipitous X-ray cluster catalog.
