Australia Telescope 2FGL Unassociated Sources Radio Source Catalog
The authors report results of the first phase of observations with the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) at 5 and 9 GHz of the fields around 411 gamma-ray sources having declinations less than +10 degrees which were detected by the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, but marked as unassociated in the 2nd Fermi Large-Area Telescope (2FGL) Catalog (available at the HEASARC as the FERMILPSC table). They have detected 424 radio sources with flux densities in the range from 2 mJy to 6 Jy in the fields of 283 gamma-ray sources within their gamma-ray position error ellipses (drawn to cover the area of 99 per cent probability of their localization). Of these, 146 objects were detected in both 5- and 9-GHz bands. The authors found 84 sources with spectral indices flatter than -0.5 in their sample. The majority of detected sources are weaker than 100 mJy and for this reason were not found in previous surveys. Approximately 1/3 of this sample, 128 objects, have the probability of being associated which is more than 10 times the probability of their being a background source found in the vicinity of the gamma-ray object by chance. This table contains the catalog of positions of these radio sources, estimates of their flux densities and their spectral indices, when available. This table was created by the HEASARC in July 2013 based on the electronic versions of Tables 1, 2 and 3 from the reference paper which were obtained from the MNRAS web site.

Milky Way Project First Data Release IR Bubble Catalog
This table contains a new catalog of 5106 infrared bubbles created through visual classification via the online citizen science website 'The Milky Way Project' (MWP). Bubbles in the new catalog have been independently measured by at least five individuals, producing consensus parameters for their positions, radii, thicknesses, eccentricities and position angles. Citizen scientists - volunteers recruited online and taking part in this research - have independently rediscovered the locations of at least 86% of three widely used catalogs of bubbles and H II regions while finding an order of magnitude more objects. 29% of the bubbles in the Milky Way Project catalog lie on the rim of a larger bubble, or have smaller bubbles located within them, opening up the possibility of better statistical studies of triggered star formation. This online resource of the <a href="http://www.milkywayproject.org/">Milky Way Project</a> provides a crowd-sourced map of bubbles and arcs in the Milky Way, and will enable better statistical analysis of Galactic star formation sites. This table is the first data release of the MWP IR Bubble Catalog: the authors anticipate a future release of a second, refined catalog incorporating better data-reduction techniques. This table was created by the HEASARC in March 2013 based on the <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/MNRAS/424/2442">CDS Catalog J/MNRAS/424/2442</a> files mwplarge.dat and mwpsmall.dat.

HERITAGE SMC Band-Matched Catalog
Observations from the HERschel Inventory of the Agents of Galaxy Evolution (HERITAGE) have been used to identify dusty populations of sources in the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds (LMC and SMC).The study used the HERITAGE catalogs of point sources from both the Photodetector Array Camera and Spectrometer (PACS; 100 and 160 microns) and Spectral and Photometric Imaging Receiver (SPIRE; 250, 350, and 500 microns) cameras. These catalogs are matched to each other to create a Herschel band-merged catalog and then further matched to archival Spitzer IRAC and MIPS catalogs from the Spitzer Surveying the Agents of Galaxy Evolution (SAGE) and SAGE-SMC surveys to create single mid- to far-infrared (far-IR) point source catalogs that span the wavelength range from 3.6 to 500 microns. There are 35,322 unique sources in the LMC and 7503 in the SMC.
Radio-Selected Gamma-Ray Burst Afterglow Catalog
This table contains a catalog of radio afterglow observations of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) over a 14 year period from 1997 to 2011. This sample of 304 afterglows consists of 2,995 flux density measurements (including upper limits) at frequencies between 0.6 GHz and 660 GHz, with the majority of data taken in the 8.5-GHz frequency band (1,539 measurements). The authors use this dataset to carry out a statistical analysis of the radio-selected sample. The detection rate of radio afterglows stayed unchanged almost at 31% before and after the launch of the Swift satellite. The canonical long-duration GRB radio light curve at 8.5 GHz peaks at three to six days in the source rest frame, with a median peak luminosity of 10<sup>31</sup> erg/s/Hz. The peak radio luminosities for short-hard bursts, X-ray flashes, and the supernova-GRB classes are an order of magnitude or more fainter than this value. There are clear relationships between the detectability of a radio afterglow and the fluence or energy of a GRB, and the X-ray or optical brightness of the afterglow. However, the authors find few significant correlations between these same GRB and afterglow properties and the peak radio flux density. In their paper, they also produce synthetic light curves at centimeter and millimeter bands using a range of blast wave and microphysics parameters derived from multi-wavelength afterglow modeling, and use them to compare with the radio sample. Finding agreement, the authors extrapolate this behavior to predict the centimeter and millimeter behavior of GRBs which will observed by the Expanded Very Large Array and the Atacama Large Millimeter Array. The compiled sample consists of 304 GRBs observed with radio telescopes between 1997 January and 2011 January, along with the 2011 April 28 Fermi burst, GRB 110428A. The sample consists of a total of 2,995 flux density measurements taken in the frequency range from 0.6 to 660 GHz and spanning a time range from 0.026 to 1,339 days. Most of the afterglows (270 in total) in this sample were observed as part of VLA radio afterglow programs, whereas 15 bursts were observed by the Expanded VLA (EVLA), and 19 southern bursts with the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA). This catalog describes the radio, optical and X-ray afterglow detections (see Section 2.2 of the reference paper): out of the 304 bursts, 123 bursts were observed in the pre-Swift epoch from 1997 until 2004. The remaining 181 bursts were observed between 2005 and 2011 April (the post-Swift epoch). Out of the 95 radio-detected afterglows (see Section 2.2 of the reference paper), 63 had radio lightcurves (i.e., three or more detections in a single radio band), whereas 32 bursts had less than three detections. For the GRBs for which the light curves were available, the authors determined the peak flux density and the time of the peak in the VLA frequency bands (i.e., 1.4 GHz, 4.9 GHz, 8.5 GHz, 15 GHz, and 22.5 GHz bands) by fitting the data with forward shock formula of the form (Frail 2005, IAU Coll. 192, p. 451) given in equation (1) of the reference paper. This formula may not accurately represent the full complexity of the radio lightcurve evolution. However, it is good enough to determine the approximate values for the peak flux density F<sub>m</sub> and the time of the peak t<sub>m</sub>. See the discussion in Section 3.5 of the reference paper for more details and some caveats. For the remaining bursts, the flux density values were taken directly from the data, and hence do not have the best-fit errors for the peak flux, peak time and rest-frame peak time parameters F<sub>m</sub>, t<sub>m</sub> and t<sub>m</sub>/(1+z), respectively.

Positions and Proper Motions Catalog
The PPM database is the Catalog of Positions and Proper Motions. It combines the two catalogs for PPM North and PPM South, the Bright Stars Supplement to PPM, and the 90,000 Stars Supplement to the PPM. The PPM North list gives positions and proper motions of 181731 stars north of -2.5 degrees declination. PPM South gives positions and proper motions of 197179 stars south of about -2.5 degrees declination. The star density of PPM South is slightly higher than that of its northern counterpart and the accuracy of the present-epoch positions is roughly twice that in the north. A number of bright stars are missing from the PPM and PPM South Star Catalogs. The Bright Stars Supplement included here makes the PPM catalogs complete down to V=7.5 mag. For this purpose it adds all missing stars brighter than V=7.6 mag that could be found in published star lists. Their total number is 321. Only 5 of them are brighter than V=3.5 Since its appearance in 1966, the SAO Catalogue has been the primary source for stellar positions and proper motions. Typical values for the rms errors are 1 arcsec in the positions at epoch 1990, and 1.5 arcsec/century in the proper motions. The corresponding figures for the AGK3 Catalog in the northern hemisphere are 0.45 arcsec and 0.9 arcsec/century. Common to both of these catalogues is the fact that proper motions are derived from two observational epochs only, and that positions are nominally in the B1950/FK4 coordinate system. The PPM Star Catalogue (Roeser and Bastian, 1991, Bastian et al., 1993; for a short description see Roeser and Bastian, 1993) effectively replaced these catalogues by providing more precise astrometric data for more stars on the J2000/FK5 coordinate system. Compared to the SAO Catalogue the improvement in precision is about a factor of 3 on the northern and a factor of 6 to 10 on the southern hemisphere. In addition, the number of stars is increased by about 50 percent. Typical values for the rms errors on the northern hemisphere are 0.27 arcsec in the positions at epoch 1990, and 0.42 arcsec/century in the proper motions. On the southern hemisphere PPM is much better, the corresponding figures being 0.11 arcsec and 0.30 arcsec/century. The improvement over the SAO Catalogue was made possible by the advent of new big catalogues of position measurements and by the inclusion of the century-old Astrographic Catalogue (AC) into the derivation of proper motions. The AC contains roughly four million stars that are not included in PPM. For most of them no precise modern-epoch position measurements exist. Thus it is not yet possible to derive proper motions with PPM quality for all AC stars. But among the 4 million there is a subset of some 100,000 CPC-2 stars that are not included in PPM. These stars constitute the 90,000 Stars Supplement to PPM, and can be identified from their PPM Number having a value between 700001 and 789676. This database was updated by the HEASARC in October 1999 based on ADC/CDS catalogs I/146 (PPM - North), I/193 (PPM - South), I/206 (Bright Stars Supplement to PPM), and I/208 (90,000 Stars Supplement to PPM).

Chandra Source Catalog, v2.1.1
The Chandra Source Catalog (CSC) is the definitive catalog of X-ray sources detected by the Chandra X-ray Observatory. By combining Chandra's sub-arcsecond on-axis spatial resolution and low instrumental background with consistent data processing, the CSC delivers a wide variety of uniformly calibrated properties and science ready data products for detected sources over four decades of flux. The Chandra Source Catalog version 2.1 (CSC 2.1) was released on April 2nd 2024; the current minor release is version 2.1.1, updated on 2024 October 18. (Refer to the <a href="https://cxc.cfa.harvard.edu/csc/versions.html">version history</a> for details.) This release of the catalog includes measured properties for 407,806 unique compact and extended X-ray sources in the sky, allowing statistical analysis of large samples, as well as individual source studies in the "Master Sources" table, provided herein. The extracted properties are provided for 1,304,376 individual observation detections, identified in Chandra ACIS and HRC-I imaging observations released publicly through the end of 2021, at the <a href="https://cxc.harvard.edu/csc/about.html">Chandra X-ray Center</a>. CSC 2.1.1 includes -- as an "alpha" release -- photometric properties for 1,717 highly extended (> ~30") sources, together with surface brightness polygons for several contour levels. The sensitivity limit for compact sources in CSC 2.1.1 is ~5 net counts, achieved by using a two-stage approach that involves co-adding multiple observations of the same field prior to source detection, and then using an optimized source detection method. For each X-ray detection and source, the catalog provides a detailed set of more than 100 tabulated positional, spatial, photometric, spectral, and temporal properties (each with associated lower and upper confidence intervals and measured in multiple energy bands). The catalog Bayesian aperture photometry code produces robust photometric probability density functions (PDFs), even in crowded fields and for low count detections. Releases beyond 2 use Bayesian Blocks analysis to identify multiple observations of the same source that have similar photometric properties, and these are analyzed simultaneously to improve S/N. The energy bands used to derive many of the CSC properties are defined in Table 4 of the reference paper: ultrasoft (u: 0.2-0.5 keV), soft (s: 0.5-1.2 keV), medium (m: 1.2-2.0 keV), hard (h: 2.0-7.0) and broad (b: 0.5-7.0 keV) for the ACIS energy bands, and wide (w: 0.1-10.0 keV) for the HRC energy band. The energy bands are chosen to optimize the detectability of X-ray sources while simultaneously maximizing the discrimination between different spectral shapes on X-ray color-color diagrams. Numerous source-specific catalog properties are evaluated within defined apertures. The authors define the "PSF 90% ECF aperture" for each source to be the ellipse that encloses 90% of the total counts in a model PSF centered on the source position. Because the size of the PSF is energy-dependent, the dimensions of the PSF 90% ECF aperture vary with energy band. They define the "source region aperture" for each source to be equal to the corresponding 3-sigma source region ellipse included in the merged source list, scaled by a factor of 1.5. Like the PSF 90% ECF aperture, the source region aperture is also centered on the source position, but the dimensions of the aperture are independent of energy band. This database table was last updated by the HEASARC in March 2025 and is based on a download of the online version of the Chandra Source Catalog, v2.1.1, at the CXC using the CLI.

MUSYC Photometric Redshift Catalog
The Multiwavelength Survey by Yale-Chile (MUSYC) consists of deep optical medium-band and broadband optical and near-IR imaging of the ~30'x30' Extended Chandra Deep Field South. This field includes the GOODS-South field and the Hubble Ultra Deep Field, and covers the same area as the SIMPLE Spitzer Legacy program.
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). This table was created by the HEASARC in October 2014 based on <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/ApJS/213/1">CDS Catalog J/ApJS/213/1</a> files table3.dat (the MOXC X-ray Source Catalog) and table6.dat (the list of MOXC sources in previously published Chandra catalogs).

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. This table was created by the HEASARC in March 2015 based on an electronic version of Table 2 from the reference paper which was obtained from the CDS as their catalog J/ApJS/216/28 file table2.dat.

Ritter Low-Mass X-Ray Binaries Catalog (7.21 Edition)
This HEASARC database table contains information on low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) only, as taken from the Catalog of Cataclysmic Binaries, Low-Mass X-ray Binaries, and Related Objects (7th Edition, Release 7.21, March 2014) of Ritter & Kolb. The complete catalog lists coordinates, apparent magnitudes, orbital parameters, stellar parameters of the components, and other characteristic properties of 1166 cataclysmic binaries, 105 low-mass X-ray binaries, and 500 related objects with known or suspected orbital periods. The HEASARC has for simplicity split this catalog into three Browse database tables, one for each class of objects: the present table (RITTERLMXB) containing the low-mass X-ray binaries' data, a second one (<a href="/W3Browse/star-catalog/rittercv.html">RITTERCV</a>) containing cataclysmic binaries' data, and a third one (<a href="/W3Browse/star-catalog/rittercv.html">RITTERRBIN</a>) containing the related binaries' data. The literature published before 1 January 2014 has, as far as possible, been taken into account. Low-mass X-ray binaries are semi-detached binaries consisting of either a neutron star or a black hole primary, and a low-mass secondary which is filling its critical Roche lobe. This table was last updated by the HEASARC in April 2014 based on the lmxbdata.dat file from the <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/B/cb">CDS Catalog B/cb</a>.

Las Campanas Redshift Survey Catalog
The Las Campanas Redshift Survey (LCRS) consists of 26,418 redshifts of galaxies selected from a CCD-based catalog obtained in the R band. The survey covers over 700 deg<sup>2</sup> in six strips, each 1.5 x 80 degrees, three each in the north and south Galactic caps. The median redshift in the survey is about 30,000 km s<sup>-1</sup>. Essential features of the galaxy selection and redshift measurement methods are described and tabulated in the reference paper. These details are important for subsequent analysis of the LCRS data. Two-dimensional representations of the redshift distributions reveal many repetitions of voids, on the scale of about 5000 km s<sup>-1</sup>, sharply bounded by large walls of galaxies as seen in nearby surveys. Statistical investigations of the mean galaxy properties and of clustering on the large scale are reported elsewhere. These include studies of the luminosity function, power spectrum in two and three dimensions, correlation function, pairwise velocity distribution, identification of large-scale structures, and a group catalog. This table contains entries for 94959 objects from the LCRS for which photometric data were obtained and which were initially classified as galaxies on the basis of this photometric information, although subsequent spectroscopy indicated that a small fracton of them are actually stars. There are 27021 objects out of this total which have spectroscopic redshift information (either of themselves or of a nearby object). See also the LCRS home pages at: <a href="http://qold.astro.utoronto.ca/~lin/lcrs.html">http://qold.astro.utoronto.ca/~lin/lcrs.html</a>. This table was created by the HEASARC in May 2010 based on the electronic version of Table 3 from the above reference which was obtained from the <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/VII/203">CDS Catalog VII/203</a> file catalog.dat.

Sloan Digital Sky Survey Quasar Catalog (Twelfth Data Release: DR12Q)
This table contains the Data Release 12 Quasar Catalog (DR12Q) from the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey III (SDSS-III). This catalog includes all SDSS-III/BOSS objects that were spectroscopically targeted as quasar candidates during the full survey and that are confirmed as quasars via visual inspection of the spectra, have luminosities M_i_[z=2] < -20.5 (in a LambdaCDM cosmology with H<sub>0</sub> = 70 km/s/Mpc, Omega<sub>M</sub> = 0.3, and Omega<sub>Lambda</sub> = 0.7), and either display at least one emission line with a full width at half maximum (FWHM) larger than 500 km/s or, if not, have interesting/complex absorption features. The catalog also includes previously known quasars (mostly from SDSS-I and II) that were re-observed by BOSS. The catalog contains 297,301 quasars (272,026 are new discoveries since the beginning of SDSS-III) detected over 9376 deg<sup>2</sup> with robust identification and redshift measured by a combination of principal component eigenspectra. The number of quasars with z > 2.15 (184,101, of which 167,742 are new discoveries) is about an order of magnitude greater than the number of z > 2.15 quasars known prior to BOSS. Redshifts and FWHMs are provided for the strongest emission lines (C IV, C III], Mg II). The catalog identifies 29,580 broad absorption line quasars and their characteristics are listed in the file dr12qbal.dat that is available at the CDS (<a href="http://cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr/ftp/cats/VII/279/">http://cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr/ftp/cats/VII/279/</a>). For each object, the catalog presents five-band (u, g, r, i, z) CCD-based photometry with typical accuracy of 0.03 mag together with some information on the optical morphology and the selection criteria. When available, the catalog also provides information on the optical variability of quasars using SDSS and Palomar Transient Factory multi-epoch photometry. The catalog also contains X-ray, ultraviolet, near-infrared, and radio emission properties of the quasars, when available, from other large-area surveys. The calibrated digital spectra, covering the wavelength region 3600-10,500 Angstrom at a spectral resolution in the range 1300 < R < 2500, can be retrieved from the SDSS Catalog Archive Server at <a href="http://www.sdss.org/dr12/data_access/">http://www.sdss.org/dr12/data_access/</a>. In their paper, the authors also provide a supplemental list of an additional 4,841 quasars that have been identified serendipitously outside of the superset defined to derive the main quasar catalog, available as the file dr12qsp.dat that is available at the CDS (<a href="http://cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr/ftp/cats/VII/279/">http://cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr/ftp/cats/VII/279/</a>). This table contains the final quasar catalog of the SDSS-III/BOSS survey resulting from five years of observations. The catalog, which the authors call "DR12Q", contains 297,301 quasars, 184,101 of which have z > 2.15. the authors provide robust identification from visual inspection and refined redshift measurements based on the result of a principal component analysis of the spectra. The present catalog contains about 80% more quasars than their previous release (Paris et al., 2014, "DR10Q", <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/VII/270">CDS Cat. VII/270</a>). In SDSS-III, all fluxes in the 5 SDSS bands (u, g, r, i and z) are expressed in terms of "nanomaggies" (nMgy), which are a convenient linear unit. These quantities are related to standard AB magnitudes thus: an object with a flux F given in nMgy has a Pogson magnitude (on the AB scale) m = [22.5 mag] - 2.5*log<sub>10</sub>(F). A flux of 1 Mgy is therefore close to 3631 Jy, and 1 nMgy = ~3.631 uJy (µJy). This table was updated to DR12Q in July 2017 based on <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/VII/279">CDS Catalog VII/279</a> file dr12q.dat. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .
COSMOS Intermediate and Broad Band Photometry Catalog
COSMOS is an astronomical survey designed to probe the formation and evolution of galaxies as a function of cosmic time (redshift) and large scale structural environment. The survey covers a 2 square degree equatorial field with imaging by most of the major space-based telescopes (Hubble, Spitzer, GALEX, XMM, Chandra) and a number of large ground based telescopes (Subaru, VLA, ESO-VLT, UKIRT, NOAO, CFHT, and others). Over 2 million galaxies are detected, spanning 75% of the age of the universe.
X-Ray Selected BL Lac Objects Catalog
This table contains a catalog of 312 X-ray selected BL Lacertae objects (XBLs), optically identified through the end of 2011. It contains the names from different surveys, equatorial coordinates, redshifts, multi-frequency flux values, and luminosities for each source. In the reference, the different characteristics of these XBLs are statistically investigated (redshift, radio/optical/X-ray luminosities, central black hole (BH) mass, synchrotron peak frequency, broadband spectral indices, optical flux variability). Their values were collected through an extensive bibliographic and database search or calculated by the author. The redshifts range from 0.031 to 0.702 with a maximum of the distribution at z = 0.223. The 1.4-GHz luminosities of XBLs log (nu * L<sub>nu</sub>) ~ 39 - 42 (in units of erg s<sup>-1</sup>), while the optical V and X-ray (0.1-2.4 keV) bands show log (nu * L<sub>nu</sub>) ~ 43 - 46 (same units). The XBL hosts are elliptical galaxies with effective radii r<sub>eff</sub> = 3.26 - 25.40 kpc and ellipticities e = 0.04 - 0.52. Their R-band absolute magnitudes M<sub>R</sub> range from -21.11 mag to -24.86 mag with a mean value of -22.83 mag. The V - R indices of the hosts range from 0.61 to 1.52 and reveal a fourth-degree polynomial relationship with z that enabled the author to evaluate the redshifts of five sources whose V - R indices were determined from the observations, but whose redshifts values are either not found or not confirmed. The XBL nuclei show a wider range of 7.31 mag for M<sub>R</sub>, with the highest luminosity corresponding to M<sub>R</sub> = -27.24 mag. The masses of the central BHs are found in the interval log M<sub>BH</sub> = 7.39 - 9.30 (in units of solar masses), with the maximum of the distribution at log M<sub>BH</sub>/M<sub>sun</sub> = 8.30. The synchrotron peak frequencies are spread over the range log nu<sub>peak</sub> = 14.56 - 19.18 Hz, with a peak of the distribution at log nu<sub>peak</sub> = 16.60 Hz. The broad-band radio-to-optical (alpha<sub>ro</sub>), optical-to-X-ray (alpha<sub>ox</sub>), and radio-to-X-ray (alpha<sub>rx</sub>) spectral indices are distributed in the intervals (0.17, 0.59), (0.56, 1.48), and (0.41, 0.75), respectively. In the optical energy range, the overall flux variability increases, on average, towards shorter wavelengths: Delta(m) = 1.22, 1.50, and 1.82 through the R, V, B bands of the Johnson-Cousins system, respectively. XBLs seem be optically less variable at intranight timescales compared to radio-selected BL Lacs (RBLs).

M 33 XMM-Newton X-Ray Variability Source Catalog
This table contains the summary results of an analysis of the individual observations (24 archival raster observations) of a deep XMM-Newton survey of the Local Group spiral galaxy M 33. The authors detected a total of 350 sources with fluxes (in the 0.2 - 4.5 keV energy band) in the range from 6.7 x 10<sup>-16</sup> to 1.5 x 10<sup>-11</sup> erg/cm<sup>2</sup>/s. This comprehensive study considered flux variability, spectral characteristics, and classification of the detected objects. Thirty-nine objects in the catalog are new sources, while 311 were already detected in a previous analysis of most of the same data using combined images. The authors present improved positions of these sources, ans also systematically searched for flux variability on time scales of hours to months or years. The detected variability was then used to classify 8 new X-ray binary candidates in M 33. Together with the hardness ratio method and cross-correlation with optical, infrared, and radio data, the authors also classified or confirmed previous classification of 25 supernova remnants and candidates, 2 X-ray binaries, and 11 super-soft source candidates (7 of which are new SSS candidates). In addition, they classified 13 active galactic nuclei and background galaxies, 6 stars, and 23 foreground star candidates in the direction of M 33. A further 206 objects are classified as 'hard', approximately half of which are sources intrinsic to M 33. The relative contribution of the classified XRB and SSS in M 33 is now comparable to M 31. The luminosity distribution of SNRs in both spiral galaxies is almost the same, although the number of the detected SNRs in M 33 remains much higher. This table was created by the HEASARC in March 2007 based on the CDS table J/A+A/448/1247 file table4.dat. The CDS has another table which lists the properties of the sources detected on an observation-by-observation basis which is not included as part of this Browse table but is available at <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/A+A/448/1247/table5.dat.gz">https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/A+A/448/1247/table5.dat.gz</a> This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .
GALEX/SDSS Quasar Catalog
This table contains the result of an analysis of the broad-band UV and optical properties of z ~< 3.4 quasars matched in the Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) General Data Release 1 (GR1) and the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Data Release 3 (DR3). Of the 6371 SDSS DR3 quasars covered by 204 GALEX GR1 tiles and listed in this table, 5380 (84%) have near-UV detections, while 3034 (48%) have both near-UV and far-UV detections using a matching radius of 7 arcseconds. Most of the DR3 sample quasars are detected in the near-UV until z ~ 1.7, with the near-UV detection fraction dropping to ~50% by z ~ 2. Statistical tests performed on the distributions of non-detections indicate that the optically selected quasars missed in the UV tend to be optically faint or at high redshift. The GALEX positions are shown to be consistent with the SDSS astrometry to within an rms scatter of 0.6 - 0.7 arcsecs in each coordinate, and the empirically determined photometric errors from multi-epoch GALEX observations significantly exceed the Poissonian errors quoted in the GR1 object catalogs. The UV-detected quasars are well separated from stars in UV-optical color-color space, with the UV-optical relative colors suggesting a marginally detected population of reddened objects due to absorption along the line of sight or dust associated with the quasar. The resulting spectral energy distributions (SEDs) cover ~350 - 9000 Angstroms (rest frame), where the overall median SED peaks near the Lyman-Alpha emission line, as found in other UV quasar studies. The large sample size allows the authors to construct median SEDs in small bins of redshift and luminosity, and they find that the median SED becomes harder (bluer) at UV wavelengths for quasars with lower continuum luminosity. The detected UV-optical flux as a function of redshift is qualitatively consistent with attenuation by intervening Lyman-absorbing clouds. This table was created by the HEASARC in October 2009 based on the electronic version of Table 2 from the reference paper which was obtained from the CDS (their catalog J/AJ/133/1780 file table2.dat).

Master Radio Catalog
The RADIO database table is a periodically revised master catalog that contains selected parameters from a number of the HEASARC database tables that have information on radio source flux densities. The contents of this RADIO master catalog are listed in alphabetical order in the References section of this document. Each entry in RADIO has a parameter called `database_table` which indicates the originating database table from which the entry was copied. Users should check out the original database table if they want to examine all of the parameters that are available in that particular database table for the particular source(s) in which they are interested. Two of the component database tables of RADIO, DIXON and KUEHR, are compilations of radio observations, and individual sources can have multiple entries, representing either observations at different frequencies or multiple observations at the same frequency. In the latter case, notice, the flux density quoted in the RADIO database is an average of the individual flux densities at that particular frequency in the originating database. To see all of the individual entries for a source in RADIO from either of these two component databases, the corresponding entries in the DIXON and KUEHR database tables should be examined. The HEASARC in certain instances has included radio sources for which the quoted value for the specified band is an upper limit rather than a detection. The HEASARC recommends that the user should always check the original tables to get the complete information about the properties of the sources listed in the RADIO master source list. This database table is periodically updated by the HEASARC whenever one of the component database tables is modified or a new component database table is added.

INTEGRAL IBIS AGN Catalog
In this work, the authors present the most comprehensive INTEGRAL active galactic nucleus (AGN) sample. It lists 272 AGN for which they have secure optical identifications, precise optical spectroscopy and measured redshift values plus X-ray spectral information, i.e. 2-10 and 20-100 keV fluxes plus column densities. In their paper, the authors mainly use this sample to study the absorption properties of active galaxies, to probe new AGN classes and to test the AGN unification scheme. The authors find that half (48%) of the sample is absorbed, while the fraction of Compton-thick AGN is small (~7%). In line with their previous analysis, they have however shown that when the bias towards heavily absorbed objects which are lost if weak and at large distance is removed, as is possible in the local Universe, the above fractions increase to become 80% and 17%, respectively. The authors also find that absorption is a function of source luminosity, which implies some evolution in the obscuration properties of AGN. A few peculiar classes, so far poorly studied in the hard X-ray band, have been detected and studied for the first time such as 5 X-ray bright optically normal galaxies (XBONGs), 5 type 2 QSOs and 11 low-ionization nuclear emission regions. In terms of optical classification, this sample contains 57% type 1 and 43% type 2 AGN; this subdivision is similar to that found in X-rays if unabsorbed versus absorbed objects are considered, suggesting that the match between optical and X-ray classifications is on the whole good. Only a small percentage of sources (12%) does not fulfill the expectation of the unified theory as the authors find 22 type 1 AGN which are absorbed and 10 type 2 AGN which are unabsorbed. Studying in depth these outliers they found that most of the absorbed type 1 AGN have X-ray spectra characterized by either complex or warm/ionized absorption more likely due to ionized gas located in an accretion disc wind or in the bi-conical structure associated with the central nucleus, therefore unrelated to the toroidal structure. Among the 10 type 2 AGN which are unabsorbed, at most 3-4% are still eligible to be classified as 'true' type 2 AGN. In the fourth INTEGRAL/IBIS survey (Bird et al. 2010, ApJS, 186, 1, available in the HEASARC database as the IBISCAT4 table), there are 234 objects which have been identified with AGN. To this set of sources, the present authors then added 38 galaxies listed in the INTEGRAL all-sky survey by Krivonos et al. (2007, A&A, 475, 775, available in the HEASARC database as the INTIBISASS table) updated on the website (<a href="http://hea.iki.rssi.ru/integral/survey/catalog.php">http://hea.iki.rssi.ru/integral/survey/catalog.php</a>) but not included in the Bird et al. catalog due to the different sky coverage (these latter sources are indicated with hard_flag = 'h' values in this HEASARC table). The final data set presented and discussed in the reference paper and constituting this table therefore comprises 272 AGN and was last updated in March 2011 March. It represents the most complete view of the INTEGRAL extragalactic sky as of the date of publication in 2012. This table was created by the HEASARC in October 2014 based on <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/MNRAS/426/1750">CDS Catalog J/MNRAS/426/1750</a> files tablea1.dat and refs.dat.

EUVE Right Angle Program, 2nd Catalog
The Second Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer (EUVE) Right Angle Program (RAP) Catalog contains information on the detection of 235 extreme ultraviolet (EUV) sources, of which 169 are new detections, using the EUVE's RAP data. This catalog included observations made since the first EUVE RAP catalog (1994 January) and covered 17% of the sky. The EUVE RAP used the all-sky survey telescopes (also known as "scanners"), which were mounted at right angles to the Deep Survey and Spectrometer instruments, to obtain photometric data in four wavelength bands centered at 100 Angstroms (Lexan/B), 200 A (Al/Ti/C), 400 A (Ti/Sb/Al or Dagwood), and 550 A (Sn/SiO). The EUVE RAP2 Catalog contains source count rates and probable source identifications from the available catalogs and literature. The source distribution is similar to previous EUV catalogs with 2% early-type stars, 45% late-type stars, 8% white dwarfs, 6% extragalactic objects, 24% with no firm classification, and 15% with no optical identification. This database was created at the HEASARC in May 2002 based on the ADC/<a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/AJ/117/2466">CDS Catalog J/AJ/117/2466</a> and is derived from Tables 2, 3, and 4 the published paper.

Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope ELAIS-N1 Field 610-MHz Radio Source Catalog
This table contains a source catalog based on observations of the European Large-Area ISO Survey-North 1 (ELAIS-N1) field taken at 610 MHz with the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope. Nineteen pointings were observed, covering a total area of ~ 9 square degrees with a resolution of 6 x 5 arcsec<sup>2</sup>, position angle of +45 degrees. Four of the pointings were deep observations with an rms of ~ 40 microJansky (µJy) before primary beam correction, with the remaining fifteen pointings having an rms of ~ 70 uJy. 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 2500 sources detected above a 6-sigma threshold, are presented. This work complements the large amount of optical and infrared data already available on the region. In their paper, the authors calculate 610-MHz source counts down to 270 uJy, and find further evidence for the turnover in differential number counts below 1 mJy, previously seen at both 610 MHz and 1.4 GHz. For further details of the surveys and data analysis procedures, please refer to the published paper. This table contains the ELAIS-N1 catalog of 2500 detected 610-MHz radio sources. This table was created by the HEASARC in February 2012 based on <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/MNRAS/383/75">CDS Catalog J/MNRAS/383/75</a> file catalog.dat.
