S254-S258 Star-Forming Region Chandra X-Ray Point Source Catalog

The aim of this study was to find an explanation for the remarkable morphology of the central part of the S254-S258 star forming complex. The authors performed a deep Chandra X-ray observation of the S254-S258 region in order to efficiently discriminate young stars (with and without circumstellar matter) from the numerous older field stars in the area. They detected 364 X-ray point sources in a 17' x 17' (~ 8 x 8 pc) field. This X-ray catalog provides, for the first time, a complete sample of all young stars in the region down to about 0.5 M_{sun}_. A clustering analysis identifies three significant clusters: the central embedded cluster S255-IR and two smaller clusterings in S256 and S258. Sixty-four X-ray sources can be classified as members in one of these clusters. After accounting for X-ray background contaminants, this implies that about 250 X-ray sources constitute a widely scattered population of young stars, distributed over the full field-of-view of the X-ray image. This distributed young stellar population is considerably larger than the previously known number of non-clustered young stars selected by infrared excesses. Comparison of the X-ray luminosity function with that of the Orion Nebula Cluster suggests a total population of ~ 2000 young stars in the observed part of the S254-S258 region. The S254-S258 complex was observed (PI: Preibisch) in November 2009 with the Imaging Array of the Chandra Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer (ACIS-I). ACIS-I provides a field of view of 17' x 17' on the sky. At the 1.6 kpc distance of S254-S258 this corresponds to 7.9 x 7.9 pc. The aimpoint of the observation was RA(J2000) = 06h12m54.0s, Dec(J2000) = +17d 59' 24". The observation was performed in the standard 'Timed Event, Faint' mode (with 3 x 3 pixel event islands). The total net exposure time of 74725 s (20.76 h) was split into two parts, separated by about 4 days. The details of these two observation parts are given in Table 1 of the reference paper. The authors first employed the wavdetect algorithm (Freeman et al. 2002, ApJS, 138, 185, a CIAO mexican-hat wavelet source detection tool) for locating X-ray sources in the merged image, and used a rather low detection threshold of 10<sup>-5</sup>. This step was performed in three different energy bands, the total band (0.5 - 8.0 keV), the soft band (0.5 - 2.0 keV), and the hard band (2.0 - 8.0) keV, and with wavelet scales between 1 and 16 pixels. They also performed a visual inspection of the images and added some 30 additional candidates to the merged catalog from the wavelet analysis, resulting in a final catalog of 511 potential X-ray sources. To clean this catalog from spurious sources, they then performed a detailed analysis of each individual candidate source with the ACIS Extract (AE hereafter) software package (Broos et al. 2010, ApJ, 714, 1582). The Poisson probability (P<sub>B</sub>) associated with the "null hypothesis", i.e. that no source exists and the extracted events are solely due to Poisson fluctuations in the local background, was computed for each source using AE. All candidate sources with P<sub>B</sub> > 0.01 were rejected as background fluctuations. After 8 iterations of this pruning procedure the final catalog consisted of 364 sources. It contains 344 primary sources with P<sub>B</sub> < 0.003, and 20 tentative sources with 0.003 < P<sub>B</sub> < 0.01. To obtain an estimate of the intrinsic, i.e. extinction-corrected, X-ray luminosity for sources that are too weak for a detailed spectral analysis, the authors used the XPHOT software, developed by Getman et al. (2010, ApJ, 708, 1760). XPHOT is based on a non-parametric method for the calculation of fluxes and absorbing X-ray column densities of weak X-ray sources. X-ray extinction and intrinsic flux are estimated from the comparison of the apparent median energy of the source photons and apparent source flux with those of high signal-to-noise spectra that were simulated using spectral models characteristic of much brighter sources of similar class previously studied in detail. This method requires at least 4 net counts per source (in order to determine a meaningful value for the median energy) and can thus be applied to 255 of the 364 sources in this table. To calculate luminosities, a distance of 1.6 kpc was assumed. The resulting intrinsic X-ray lumonosities range from 10<sup>29.4</sup> to 10<sup>32.3</sup> erg s<sup>-1</sup>. This table was created by the HEASARC in October 2011 based on <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/A+A/533/A121">CDS Catalog J/A+A/533/A121</a> files table2.dat, table3.dat and table5.dat.

ROSAT All-Sky Survey Bright Source Catalog USNO A2 Cross-Associations

The authors have quantitatively cross-associated the 18,811 ROSAT All-Sky Survey Bright Source Catalog (RASS/BSC) X-ray sources with optical sources in the USNO A-2 catalog, calculating the probability of unique association (P_id) between each candidate within 75" of the X-ray source position, on the basis of optical magnitude and proximity. They have generated catalogs of RASS/BSC sources for which P_id > 98%, P_id > 90%, and P_id > 50%, which contain 2705, 5492, and 11,301 unique USNO A-2 optical counterparts respectively down to the stated level of significance. Together with identifications of objects not cataloged in USNO A-2 due to their high surface brightness (M31, M32, ...) and optical pairs, they produced a total of 11,803 associations to a probability of P_id > 50%. They also include in this catalog a list of objects in the SIMBAD database within 10" of the USNO A-2 position, as an aid to identification and source classification. This is the first RASS/BSC counterpart catalog which provides a probability of association between each X-ray source and counterpart, quantifying the certainty of each individual association. The catalog is more useful than previous catalogs which either rely on plausibility arguments for association or do not aid in selecting a counterpart between multiple off-band sources in the field. Sources of high probability of association can be separated out, to produce high-quality lists of classes (Seyfert 1/2s, QSOs, RS CVns) desired for targeted study, or for discovering new examples of known classes (or new classes altogether) through the spectroscopic classification of securely identified but unclassified USNO A-2 counterparts. Low P_id associations can be used for statistical studies and follow-on investigation - for example, performing follow-up spectroscopy of the many low-mass stars to search for signatures of coronal emission, or to investigate the relationship between X-ray emission and classes of sources not previously well-studied for their X-ray emissions (such as pulsating variable stars). The authors find that a fraction ~65.8% of RASS/BSC sources have an identifiable optical counterpart, down to the magnitude limit of the USNO A-2 catalog which could be identified by their spatial proximity and high optical brightness. This table was created by the HEASARC in October 2009 based on electronic versions of Tables 9 (USNO counterparts for which P_id > 98%) and 10 (USNO counterparts for which 90% > P_id > 98%) of the reference paper which were obtained from the Astrophysical Journal web site.

SAGE-Var LMC Variable Catalog

SAGE-Var is a follow-up to the SAGE and SAGE-SMC Legacy programs. The SAGE-Var program obtained 4 epochs of photometry at 3.6 and 4.5 microns covering the bar of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) and the central region of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) in order to probe the variability of extremely red sources missed by variability surveys conducted at shorter wavelengths, and to provide additional epochs of observation for known variables. The 6 total epochs of observations probe infrared variability on 15 different timescales ranging from 20 days to 5 years.

Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) Extragalactic Southern Sources Catalog

The ACTSOUTH catalog is a multi-frequency, multi-epoch catalog of extragalactic sources, based on 150, 220 and 280 GHz observations carried out in 2008, 2009 and 2010 using the Millimeter Bolometric Array Camera on the Atacama Cosmology Telescope. The catalog contains 695 sources, found in a sky area of ~600 square degrees. It is obtained by cross-matching sources found in 11 sub-catalogs, one for each season and frequency band. Also include are co-added data from ~150 and ~160 square degrees using 2 and 3 years of overlapping observations. The authors divide the sources into two populations, synchrotron and dusty emitters, based on their spectral behavior in the 150 - 220 GHz frequency range. They find 374 synchrotron sources and 321 dusty source candidates. Cross-matching with catalogs from radio to X-ray results in 264 synchrotron sources (71%) and 89 dusty sources (28%) with counterparts, suggesting that 232 dusty candidates are not in existing catalogs. This table was ingested by the HEASARC in November 2023 based upon the files downloaded from the LAMBDA archive at <a href="https://lambda.gsfc.nasa.gov/product/act/act_south_cat_get.html">https://lambda.gsfc.nasa.gov/product/act/act_south_cat_get.html</a>.

PEP Lockman Hole MIPS 24 micron Comparison Catalog

The PACS Evolutionary Probe (PEP, Lutz et al. 2011) is a Herschel guaranteed time deep extragalactic survey (KPGT_dlutz_1) targeting six among the most popular "blank fields", ten lensing clusters of galaxies, and two z ~1 clusters at wavelengths of 100, and 160 microns. PEP includes SPIRE observations of the two z ~1 clusters at wavelengths of 250, 350, and 500 microns. SPIRE coverage of all other fields is available from the HerMES survey (Oliver et al. 2010). In addition, deep SPIRE GOODS-N data are provided by the GOODS-Herschel program (Elbaz et al. 2011).The list of 24 micron priors adopted in the LH field belongs to a preliminary, private catalog, soon to be replaced by an official public release (E. Egami, January 29th 2013, private communication). The PEP DR1 data package includes this catalog, providing cross-IDs between the list of priors and the new 24 micron catalog soon to become public.

WBL Individual Galaxies Data Catalog (White et al. 1999)

The Catalog of Nearby Poor Clusters of Galaxies of White et al. (1999), also known as the WBL Catalog, is a catalog of 732 optically selected, nearby poor clusters of galaxies covering the entire sky north of -3 degrees declination. The poor clusters, called WBL clusters, were identified as concentrations of three or more galaxies with photographic magnitudes brighter than 15.7, possessing a galaxy surface overdensity of 10^(4/3). These criteria are consistent with those used in the identification of the original Yerkes poor clusters, and this new catalog substantially increases the sample size of such objects. These poor clusters cover the entire range of galaxy associations up to and including Abell clusters, systematically including poor and rich galaxy systems spanning over 3 orders of magnitude in the cluster mass function. As a result, this new catalog contains a greater diversity of richness and structures than other group catalogs, such as the Hickson and Yerkes catalogs. This table contains the entries for the individual galaxies in the poor clusters which ere given in Table 3 of the published catalog, and includes redshifts for the individual galaxies and cross-references to other galaxy catalogs. The WBL table (q.v.) contains the entries for the clusters themselves (given in Table 2 of the published catalog). The WBLGALAXY table was created by the HEASARC in July 2002 based on <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/AJ/118/2014">CDS Catalog J/AJ/118/2014</a> (the file table3.dat).

Taurus Molecular Cloud XMM-Newton X-Ray Source Catalog

The XMM-Newton Extended Survey of the Taurus Molecular Cloud (XEST) surveys the most populated ~5 square degrees of the Taurus Molecular Cloud, using the XMM-Newton X-ray observatory to study the thermal structure, variability, and long-term evolution of hot plasma, to investigate the magnetic dynamo, and to search for new potential members of the association. The authors present overall correlations with fundamental stellar parameters that were derived from the previous literature. The present overview paper introduces the project and provides the basic results from the X-ray analysis of all sources detected in the XEST survey. Comprehensive tables in the published paper summarize the stellar properties of all the targets surveyed. The survey goes deeper than previous X-ray surveys of Taurus by about an order of magnitude and for the first time systematically accesses very faint and strongly absorbed TMC objects. The authors find a detection rate of 85% and 98% for classical and weak-line T Tauri stars (CTTS and WTTS), respectively, and identify about half of the surveyed protostars and brown dwarfs. Overall, 136 out of 169 surveyed stellar systems were detected. The authors describe an X-ray luminosity vs. mass correlation, discuss the distribution of X-ray-to-bolometric luminosity ratios, and show evidence for lower X-ray luminosities in CTTS compared to WTTS. The complete catalog of all X-ray sources (stellar and non-stellar) detected in the 28 XEST fields is presented in this table. The catalog provides X-ray coordinates, their uncertainties, X-ray count rates and their uncertainties, and X-ray hardness ratios for 2347 detected X-ray sources. If two XEST fields overlap, the same sources may have been identified twice, with different XEST IDs assigned, notice. This table was created by the HEASARC in July 2007 based on the <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/A+A/468/353">CDS Catalog J/A+A/468/353</a> file table14.dat.

Cepheus A SFR XMM-Newton X-Ray Point Source Catalog

Cepheus A is a star formation region (SFR) at a distance of ~ 730 pc consisting of two main H II regions, Cep A East and Cep A West. Cep A was observed with the EPIC cameras of the XMM-Newton observatory on 2003 August 23 for 43.9ks. In this observation, X-rays from both components of Cep A, East and West, were discovered by XMM-Newton, as well as from the Herbig-Haro object HH 168, which joins the ranks of other energetic H-H objects that are sources of temperature T >= 10<sup>6</sup> K X-ray emission. A total of 102 distinct X-ray sources were detected in this 44 ks observation, many presumed to be pre-main-sequence stars on the basis of the reddening of their optical and IR counterparts, the latter being found by matching the positions of the 102 X-ray sources with objects in the USNO-B1.0 (Monet et al. 2003, AJ, 125, 984) and Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS) catalogs using a 2.5" matching radius. The authors performed source detection on all the XMM-Newton data in two energy bands: 0.2 - 1 keV ("soft") and 1 - 10 keV ("hard"). They detected 24 soft sources and 85 hard sources. Seven of the sources appear in both bands, where the criterion for a match between the bands is a positional offset of < 2.5 arcseconds. Thus, the total number of distinct X-ray sources detected (and listed in this table) is 102. This table was created by the HEASARC in July 2007 based on the <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/ApJ/626/272">CDS Catalog J/ApJ/626/272</a> file table2.dat.

Green Bank 6-cm (GB6) Radio Source Catalog

This table contains the Green Bank 6-cm (GB6) Radio Source Catalog. The Green Bank 4.85 GHz (6-cm wavelength) survey (Condon J.J., Broderick J.J., Seielstad G.A., Douglas K., & Gregory P.C. in 1994AJ....107.1829C) was made with the NRAO seven-beam receiver on the (former) 91m telescope during 1986 November and 1987 October. The final set of sky maps covering the declination band 0 deg < Dec. < +75 deg was constructed with data from both epochs. Its noise and position errors are nearly a factor of 2^(1/2) smaller than in the epoch 1987 maps, from which the 87GB Catalog (<a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/VIII/14">CDS Catalog <VIII/14></a>) of 54,579 sources stronger than S ~ 25mJy was extracted. Therefore, the new maps were used to make the GB6 catalog of 75,162 discrete sources with angular sizes phi <= 10.5 arcmin and flux densities S >= 18mJy. The GB6 weighted differential source counts S^(5/2)n(S) between 18 mJy and 7 Jy agree well with evolutionary models based on independent data.

Chandra Galactic Bulge Survey Full X-Ray Point Source Catalog

This table contains the Chandra source list for the entire area of the Galactic Bulge Survey (GBS) based on the lists provided in Jonker et al. (2011, ApJ, 194, 18: Paper I) and Jonker et al. (2014, ApJS, 210, 18: Paper II). The previous version of this table, based solely on the data presented in Paper I, contained the Chandra source list based on the first three-quarters of the GBS that had been observed as of the date of writing of that paper. Among the goals of the GBS are constraining the neutron star (NS) equation of state and the black hole (BH) mass distribution via the identification of eclipsing NS and BH low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs). The latter goal will, in addition, be obtained by significantly enlarging the number of BH systems for which a BH mass can be derived. Further goals include constraining X-ray binary formation scenarios, in particular the common envelope phase and the occurrence of kicks, via source-type number counts and an investigation of the spatial distribution of X-ray binaries, respectively. The GBS targets two strips of 6 degrees by 1 degrees (12 deg<sup>2</sup> in total), one above (1<sup>o</sup> < b < 2<sup>o</sup>) and the other below (-2<sup>o</sup> < b < -1<sup>o</sup>) the Galactic plane in the direction of the Galactic center at X-ray, optical and near-infrared wavelengths. By avoiding the Galactic plane (-1<sup>o</sup> < b < 1<sup>o</sup>) the authors limit the influence of extinction on the X-ray and optical emission but still sample relatively large number densities of sources. The survey is designed such that a large fraction of the X-ray sources can be identified from their optical spectra. The X-ray survey, by design, covers a large area on the sky while the depth is shallow, using 2 ks per Chandra pointing. In this way, the authors maximize the predicted number ratio of (quiescent) LMXBs to cataclysmic variables. The survey is approximately homogeneous in depth to a 0.5-10 keV flux of 7.7 x 10<sup>-14</sup> erg cm<sup>-2</sup> s<sup>-1</sup>. As of Paper I, the authors had covered about three-fourths (8.3 deg<sup>2</sup>) of the projected survey area with Chandra observations providing 1234 unique X-ray sources. In Paper II, the authors find 424 additional X-ray sources in the 63 Chandra observations that they report on there. In the papers, the authors discuss the characteristics and the X-ray variability of the brightest of the sources as well as the radio properties from existing radio surveys. They point out an interesting asymmetry in the number of X-ray sources as a function of their Galactic l and b coordinates which is probably caused by differences in average extinction towards the different parts of the GBS survey area. This table was originally ingested by the HEASARC in June 2011 based on an electronic version of Table 3 from Paper I which was obtained from the ApJS web site. The current version of this table was ingested by the HEASARC in January 2014 based on <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/ApJS/210">CDS catalog J/ApJS/210</a>,18 file cxogbs.dat, which appears to be the combination of an Table 3 from Paper I with Table 1 from Paper II.

Small Magellanic Cloud ATCA and Parkes 1400-MHz Source Catalog

This table contains a new catalog of radio-continuum sources in the field of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). This catalog contains 1560 radio-continuum sources detected at 1400 MHz (lambda = 20 cm) from a set of new high-resolution radio-continuum mosaic images of the SMC created by combining observations from ATCA and Parkes (Wong et al. 2011, SerAJ, 182, 43). The 20 cm mosaic image (Fig. 2 in above reference)was created by combining data from ATCA project C1288 (Mao et al. 2008, ApJ, 688, 1029) with data obtained for a Parkes radio-continuum study of the SMC (Filipovic et al. 1997, A&AS, 121, 321). This image had a beam size of 17.8 x 12.2 arcseconds and an rms noise of 0.7 mJy/beam. The MIRIAD task 'imsad' was used to detect sources in the 20-cm image, requiring a fitted Gaussian flux density > 5 sigma (3.5 mJy). All sources were then visually examined to confirm that they were genuine point sources, excluding extended emission, bright side lobes, etc. This table was created by the HEASARC in September 2014 based on CDS Catalog J_other/Ser/183.103/ file tablea2.dat.

2WHSP Catalog of High Synchrotron Peaked Blazars and Candidates

High Synchrotron Peaked blazars (HSPs) dominate the gamma-ray sky at energies larger than a few GeV, however only a few hundred blazars of this type have been catalogued so far. In this paper, the authors present the 2WHSP sample, the largest and most complete list of HSP blazars available to date, which is an expansion of the 1WHSP catalog (Arsioli et al. 2015, A&A, 579, A34) of gamma-ray source candidates away from the Galactic Plane. They cross-matched a number of multi-wavelength surveys (in the radio, infrared and X-ray bands) and applied selection criteria based on the radio to IR, and IR to X-ray spectral slopes. To ensure the selection of genuine HSPs, the authors examined the spectral energy distribution (SED) of each candidate and estimated the peak frequency of its synchrotron emission (nu<sub>peak</sub>) using the Agenzia Spaziale Italiana Science Data Center (ASDC) SED tool, including only sources with nu<sub>peak</sub> > 10<sup>15</sup> Hz (equivalent to nu<sub>peak</sub> > 4 eV). The authors have assembled the largest and most complete catalog of HSP blazars to date, which includes 1691 sources. A number of population properties, such as infrared colors, synchrotron peak, redshift distributions, and gamma-ray spectral properties, have been used to characterize the sample and maximize completeness. The authors also derived the radio log N - log S distribution. This catalog has already been used to provide seeds to discover new very high energy objects within Fermi-LAT data and to look for the counterparts of neutrino and ultra-high energy cosmic ray sources, showing its potential for the identification of promising high-energy gamma-ray sources and multi-messenger targets. This table comprises the 2WHSP catalog, a multi-frequency catalog of HSP. It contains 1691 sources, 288 of which are newly identified HSPs, 540 are previously known HSPs, 814 are HSP candidates, 45 are HSP blazars taken from the 2FHL catalog, and 4 from TeVCat (<a href="http://tevcat.uchicago.edu">http://tevcat.uchicago.edu</a>).

DeepDrill CDFS 4.5 micron Catalog

The Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) will observe several Deep Drilling Fields (DDFs) to a greater depth and with a more rapid cadence than the main survey. The "DeepDrill" survey (Program ID 11086, P.I. Lacy) used the Spitzer Space Telescope Infrared Array Camera (IRAC) to observe three of the four currently defined DDFs in two bands, centered on 3.6 um and 4.5 um. These observations expand the area which was covered by an earlier set of observations in these three fields by the Spitzer Extragalactic Representative Volume Survey (SERVS). The combined DeepDrill and SERVS data cover the footprints of the LSST DDFs in the Extended Chandra Deep Field-South field (ECDFS), the ELAIS-S1 field (ES1), and the XMM-Large-Scale Structure Survey field (XMM-LSS).

XMM-Newton Optical Monitor SUSS Catalog, v6.1: Observation IDs

The 2023 release of the XMM OM Serendipitous Ultraviolet Source Survey (XMM-SUSS6.1) Catalog, a catalog of optical/UV sources detected by the Optical Monitor (OM) on-board the European Space Agency's (ESA's) XMM-Newton observatory, spans the period of observations from 2000 to November 2022. The data processing was performed at the European Space Astronomy Centre (ESAC, Madrid, Spain) using the XMM Science Analysis Software system (SAS) versions 18 and 19. In addition to covering a larger observation period, this sixth release reflects a change in philosophy with regard to the origin of the incorporated data. In previous releases, the data were generated via a bespoke processing of the OM Observation Data Files (ODFs) while in this new release, the catalog has been guided by the XMM user community and the authors have sought to harmonize the contents of the catalog with those of the OM data in the XMM-Newton Science Archive (XSA), which derive from the standard XMM-Newton pipeline processing system. While the bespoke processing and pipeline systems are fundamentally very similar, they are not identical and the differences lead to some differences in the output. The number of observations (OBSIDs) included in the catalog is 12,057. This table (XMMOMSUOB) contains the list of these observations and their characteristics, giving for each observation the filters used, the exposure time for each filter, the number of sources detected in each filter and the detection magnitude limit for each filter. The total number of entries in this release is 9,920,390. They correspond to 6,659,554 unique sources, of which 1,225,117 have multiple entries in the source table, corresponding to different observations. This list of sources is available at the HEASARC as the <a href="/W3Browse/xmm-newton/xmmomsuss.html">XMMOMSUSS table</a>.

Star Formation in Nearby Clouds (SFiNCs) X-Ray Source 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 our 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 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 the contents of this 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 (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. Tables 7 and 8 of the reference paper provide the list of 8,492 SFiNCs probable cluster members (SPCMs) and their main IR and X-ray properties (see section 4 of the reference paper): this list as available at the HEASARC as the SFINCSPCM 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 table3.dat (the list of SFiNCs X-ray sources and their basic properties) and table4.dat (the list of SFiNCs X-ray source fluxes).

SDSS-IV/SPIDERS XMM-Based X-Ray Point Source Spectroscopic Catalog

This catalog aims to provide a detailed description of the SPectroscopic IDentification of ERosita Sources (SPIDERS) survey, an SDSS-IV program aimed at obtaining spectroscopic classification and redshift measurements for complete samples of sufficiently bright X-ray sources. The authors describe the SPIDERS X-Ray Point Source Spectroscopic Catalog, considering its store of 11,092 observed spectra drawn from a parent sample of 14,759 ROSAT and XMM sources over an area of 5,129 deg<sup>2</sup> covered in SDSS-IV by the eBOSS survey. This catalog presents the SPIDERS XMM subsample of 3,196 sources which were drawn from the XMM Slew Survey source catalog, version 2 (XMMSL2), provided by the HEASARC in <a href="/W3Browse/xmm-newton/xmmslewful.html">XMMSLEWFUL</a>. The accompanying <a href="/W3Browse/rosat/spidersros.html">SPIDERSROS</a> table contains the 21,288 sources drawn from the Second ROSAT All-Sky Survey (2RXS) Source Catalog, available from the HEASARC as <a href="/W3Browse/rosat/rass2rxs.html">RASS2RXS</a>. This program represents the largest systematic spectroscopic observation of an X-ray selected sample. A total of 10,970 (98.9%) of the observed objects are classified and 10,849 (97.8%) have secure redshifts. The majority of the spectra (10,070 objects) are active galactic nuclei (AGN), 522 are cluster galaxies, and 294 are stars. The SDSS-IV/BOSS spectrographic observations are taken between 2014 and 2019. This table was created by the HEASARC in May 2020 based upon the <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/A+A/636/A97">CDS Catalog J/A+A/636/A97</a> file vcxmmsl2.dat.

Fermi LAT High-Energy Source Catalog (1FHL)

This table contains the catalog of gamma-ray sources at energies above 10 GeV based on data from the Large Area Telescope (LAT) accumulated during the first 3 years of the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope mission. The first Fermi-LAT catalog of > 10 GeV sources (1FHL) has 514 sources. For each source, the authors present location, spectrum, a measure of variability,and associations with cataloged sources at other wavelengths. They found that 449 (87%) could be associated with known sources, of which 393 (76% of the 1FHL sources) are active galactic nuclei. Of the 27 sources associated with known pulsars, they find 20 (12) to have significant pulsations in the range > 10 GeV (> 25 GeV). In this work, the authors also report that, at energies above 10 GeV, unresolved sources account for 27% +/- 8% of the isotropic gamma-ray background, while the unresolved Galactic population contributes only at the few percent level to the Galactic diffuse background. The authors also highlight the subset of the 1FHL sources that are the best candidates for detection at energies above 50 - 100 GeV with current and future ground-based gamma-ray observatories. The time interval analyzed here is from the beginning of Fermi LAT science operations on 2008 August 4 (MET 239557447) to 2011 August 1 (MET 333849586), covering very nearly 3 years. In this work, the authors analyze gamma rays with energies in the range 10-500 GeV. To limit the contamination from gamma rays produced by cosmic-ray interactions in the upper atmosphere, gamma rays with zenith angles greater than 105 degrees were excluded. To further reduce the residual gamma rays from the upper atmosphere only data for time periods when the spacecraft rocking angle was less than 52 degrees were considered. See Section 2 of the reference paper for further explanations. This table was created by the HEASARC in April 2015 based on <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/ApJS/209/34/">CDS Catalog J/ApJS/209/34/</a> files table3.dat and table7.dat.

Planck 2nd Sunyaev-Zeldovich Source Catalog

This table contains the all-sky Planck catalog of Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) sources detected from the 29 month full Planck mission data. The catalog (PSZ2) is the largest SZ-selected sample of galaxy clusters yet produced and the deepest systematic all-sky survey of galaxy clusters. It contains 1,653 detections, of which 1,203 are confirmed clusters with identified counterparts in external data sets, and is the first SZ-selected cluster survey containing more than 10<sup>3</sup> confirmed clusters. In the reference paper, the authors present a detailed analysis of the survey selection function in terms of its completeness and statistical reliability, placing a lower limit of 83% on the purity. Using simulations, they find that the estimates of the SZ strength parameter Y<sub>5R500</sub> are robust to pressure-profile variation and beam systematics, but accurate conversion to Y<sub>500</sub> requires the use of prior information on the cluster extent. The authors also describe the multi-wavelength search for counterparts in ancillary data, which makes use of radio, microwave, infrared, optical, and X-ray data sets, and which places emphasis on the robustness of the counterpart match. They discuss the physical properties of the new sample and identify a population of low-redshift X-ray under-luminous clusters revealed by SZ selection. These objects appear in optical and SZ surveys with consistent properties for their mass, but they are almost absent from ROSAT X-ray selected samples. Three pipelines were used to detect SZ clusters: two independent implementations of the Matched Multi-Filter (MMF1 and MMF3) and PowellSnakes (PwS). The main catalog contained in this HEASARC table is constructed as the union of the catalogs from the three detection methods. The completeness and reliability of the catalogs have been assessed through internal and external validation as described in section 4 of the reference paper. The HEASARC has changed the names of many of the parameters from those given in the original table. In such cases we have listed the original names in parentheses at the end of the parameter descriptions given below. This table was created by the HEASARC in May 2017 based upon the <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/A+A/594/A27">CDS Catalog J/A+A/594/A27</a> file psz2.dat, the main (union of 3 pipelines) SZ source catalog. The source catalogs from the 3 individual pipelines are available at <a href="http://cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr/ftp/cats/J/A+A/594/A27/">http://cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr/ftp/cats/J/A+A/594/A27/</a> as the files pszmmf1.dat, pszmmf3.dat and pszpws.dat.
