NGC 2264 Chandra X-Ray Point Source Catalog
The NGC 2264 Chandra X-Ray Point Source Catalog contains the results of a Chandra observation of a field in the NGC 2264 star-forming region. The observation was made with Chandra's Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer imaging array (ACIS-I) on 2002 February 9, and has an exposure time of 48.1 ks. The catalog contains 263 sources, and includes X-ray luminosity, optical and infrared photometry, and X-ray variability information. The authors found 41 variable sources, 14 of which have a flare-like light curve, and two of which have a pattern of a steady increase or decrease over a 10-hr period. The optical and infrared photometry for the stars identified as X-ray sources are consistent with most of these objects being pre-main sequence stars with ages younger than 3 Myr. The authors found that 213 (81%) of the 263 X-ray sources have optical and/or infrared counterparts, most, but probably not all, of which are likely to be member stars of NGC 2264. There are 51 X-ray sources that lack optical or infrared counterparts: the authors believe that these are most likely extragalactic objects (active galaxies).

Westerlund 1 Chandra X-Ray Point Source Catalog
The nature of the X-ray point source population within the young massive cluster Westerlund 1 (Wd 1) is investigated. Chandra X-ray Observatory (CXO) observations were used to determine the X-ray properties of emitters within Wd 1, while a comprehensive multi-wavelength dataset was employed to constrain their nature. Wd 1 (l=339.5, b=-0.4) was observed with the CXO Advanced CCD Spectrometer Spectroscopic array on 2005 May 22 for 18 ks (sequence 6283) and 2005 June 20 for 42 ks (sequence 5411). 241 sources were found above a sensitivity threshold that corresponded to a 10<sup>-6</sup> chance per PSF element of detecting a spurious source. X-ray emission from a multitude of different stellar sources within Wd 1, including both evolved high mass and low-mass pre-MS stars, is found. This table was created by the HEASARC in May 2008 based on CDS table J/A+A/477/147 files table1.dat and table3.dat. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .
INTEGRAL/ISGRI Catalog of Variable X-Ray Sources
In 6 years of operation, INTEGRAL/ISGRI revealed more than 500 sources. Many of these sources are variable. Taking into account that nearly half of INTEGRAL/ISGRI sources are new and many of them are still unidentified, the variability properties of the sources can serve as additional parameters that may help to classify and identify the unknown sources. In order to study the variability properties of the sources detected by INTEGRAL/ISGRI, the authors have developed a method to quantify the variability of a source which is described in their paper. They have compiled a catalog of the sources that fit their criteria of variability. This catalog gives the values of fractional variability, the flux, and the corresponding 2-sigma errors of the sources from the INTEGRAL Reference Catalog (<a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/A+A/411/L59:">CDS Cat. J/A+A/411/L59:</a> INTVARCAT in Browse) version 30. The data are given for 3 energy bands: 20-40, 40-100, and 100-200 keV. The exposure times of the sources are given for each energy band only if the source was detected in the given band. This table also gives the source type according to the reference catalog. If the source is localized in more then one map then the weighted mean values of the flux and variability are given. The sources active during specific time periods and not detected at the total variability map are indicated with "b" letter in the source_flag parameter. The sources detected only in the total variability map are indicated with an "i" letter value for this parameter, while a letter "g" indicates that the source was affected by the "ghost" of another source. The map<sub>det</sub>* parameters specify the time period map(s) in which the source was visible, where the presence of an 'X' following a map number means that the source was not detected in the respective significance map, and that a lower limit for the fractional variability is given in such a case. This table was created by the HEASARC in December 2010 based on <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/A+A/522/A68">CDS Catalog J/A+A/522/A68</a> file table3.dat.

Cep B/OB3 Star-Forming Region Chandra X-Ray Point Source Catalog
This table contains the Cepheus B star formation region (the Cep B molecular cloud and the Cep OB3b OB association) Chandra X-Ray point source catalog. The Cepheus B (Cep B) molecular cloud and a portion of the nearby Cep OB3b OB association, one of the most active regions of star formation within 1 kpc, have been observed with the ACIS detector on board the Chandra X-Ray Observatory. 431 X-ray sources have been detected, of which 89% are confidently identified as clustered pre-main-sequence (PMS) stars. Two main results are obtained. First, the best census to date for the stellar population of the region has been made, with many members of two rich stellar clusters, the lightly obscured Cep OB3b association and the deeply embedded cluster in Cep B, whose existence was previously traced only by a handful of radio sources and T Tauri stars, being identified. Second, a discrepancy between the X-ray luminosity functions of the Cep OB3b and the Orion Nebula cluster has been found. This may be due to the different initial mass functions of the two regions (an excess of ~=0.3 M_solar stars) or different age distributions. Several other results are obtained. A diffuse X-ray component seen in the field is attributed to the integrated emission of unresolved low-mass PMS stars. The X-ray emission from HD 217086 (O7n), the principle ionizing source of the region, follows the standard model, involving many small shocks in an unmagnetized radiatively accelerated wind. X-ray source 294 joins a number of similar superflare PMS stars for which long magnetic structures may connect the protoplanetary disk to the stellar surface. The Chandra observation of Cep B and Cep OB3b was obtained on 2003 March 11.51-11.88 with the ACIS camera. Only results from the imaging array (ACIS-I) covering about 17' x 17' on the sky are considered here. The aim point of the array was 22 56 49.4 +62 39 55.6 (J2000.0 RA and Dec), and the satellite roll angle was 7.9 degrees. The total net exposure time was 30 ksec, with no background flaring or data losses. This table was created by the HEASARC in February 2007 based on the merger of electronic versions of tables 1, 2 and 3 from the above reference which were obtained from the ApJS website.

Eta Chamaeleontis eROSITA EDR Field X-Ray (2.3-5.0 keV) Source Catalog
This database table contains the catalog of the X-ray sources in the eta Chamaeleontis field scan eROSITA observation (OBSID 300004; see Robrade et al., 2022) in the hard (2.3-5.0 keV) band. The nearby young open cluster eta Chamaeleontis was observed by eROSITA/SRG during its CalPV phase for 150 ks. The eROSITA data were taken in the field-scan mode, an observing mode of Spectrum-Roentgen-Gamma (SRG) that follows a rectangular grid-like pattern, covering a 5x5 deg field with an exposure depth of about 5 ks. The authors studied the known members in X-rays and searched for potential new members of the anticipated dispersed low-mass cluster population. Detected sources were identified by cross-matching X-ray sources with Gaia and 2MASS, and young stars were identified by their X-ray activity, by their position in the color-magnitude diagram, and by their astrometric and kinematic properties. X-ray luminosities, light curves, and spectra of cluster members were obtained and compared with previous X-ray data. Literature results of other member searches were used to verify the new member candidates in the observed field. The authors determined X-ray properties of virtually all known eta Cha members and identified five additional stellar systems that showed basically identical characteristics, but are more dispersed. Four of them were previously proposed as potential members; this status is supported by this X-ray study. Based on their spatial distribution, further members are expected beyond the sky region surveyed. The identified stellar systems very likely belong to the ejected halo population, which brings the total number of eta Cha cluster members to at least 23. <a href="/W3Browse/erosita/etachamain.html">ETACHAMAIN</a> is the related catalog of main (0.2-2.3 keV) sources. This database table was ingested by the HEASARC in August 2022 and is based upon a file downloaded from the eROSITA-DE Early Data Release <a href="https://erosita.mpe.mpg.de/edr/eROSITAObservations/Catalogues/">catalogs web page</a>.

eROSITA eFEDS Main X-Ray (0.2-2.3 keV) Source Catalog
The eROSITA X-ray telescope on board the Spectrum-Roentgen-Gamma (SRG) observatory combines a large field of view and collecting area in the energy range ~0.2 to ~8.0 keV with the capability to perform uniform scanning observations of large sky areas. SRG/eROSITA performed scanning observations of the ~140 square degrees eROSITA Final Equatorial Depth Survey (eFEDS) field as part of its performance verification phase. The observing time was chosen to slightly exceed the depth of equatorial fields after the completion of the eROSITA all-sky survey. The authors present a catalog of detected X-ray sources in the eFEDS field providing source positions and extent information, as well as fluxes in multiple energy bands and document a suite of tools and procedures developed for eROSITA data processing and analysis, validated and optimized by the eFEDS work. A multi-stage source detection procedure was optimized and calibrated by performing realistic simulations of the eROSITA eFEDS observations. The authors cross-matched the eROSITA eFEDS source catalog with previous XMM-ATLAS observations, confirming excellent agreement of the eROSITA and XMM-ATLAS source fluxes. This table presents the primary catalog of 27910 X-ray sources, including 542 with significant spatial extent, detected in the 0.2-2.3 keV energy range with detection likelihoods >=6 , corresponding to a (point source) flux limit of ~6.5 x 10<sup>-15</sup> erg/cm<sup>2</sup>/s in the 0.5-2.0 keV energy band (80% completeness). The linked <a href="/W3Browse/erosita/efedshard.html">EFEDSHARD</a> table presents the hard band sample of 246 sources detected in the energy range 2.3-5.0 keV above a detection likelihood of 10. A supplementary catalog contains 4774 low-significance source candidates with detection likelihoods between 5 and 6. The dedicated data analysis software package, calibration database, and calibrated data products are described in an appendix. Additional information for the eROSITA early data release observations is available at the <a href="https://erosita.mpe.mpg.de/edr/">eROSITA-DE EDR website</a>. This database table was originally ingested by the HEASARC in August 2022 and is based upon the "eROSITA/eFEDS main catalogue" file downloaded from the eROSITA-DE Early Data Release <a href="https://erosita.mpe.mpg.de/edr/eROSITAObservations/Catalogues/">catalogs web page</a>. It was revised in June 2024 in order to rename the right ascension, declination, and their related positional uncertainty parameters to match the parameter naming convention used in other eROSITA catalogs.

BeppoSAX Wide Field Camera Unbiased X-Ray Source Catalog
During the operational life of the Italian/Dutch X-ray satellite (1996-2002), BeppoSAX, its two Wide Field Cameras (WFCs) performed observations that covered the full sky at different epochs. Although the majority of the analyses performed on BeppoSAX WFC data concentrated on the detection of transient sources, the authors have now applied the same techniques developed for the INTEGRAL/IBIS survey so as to produce a similar analysis of the BeppoSAX WFC data. This work represents the first unbiased source list compilation produced from the overall WFC data set which is optimized for faint persistent source detection. This approach recovered 182 more sources compared to the previous WFC catalog reported in Verrecchia et al. (2007, A&A, 472, 705; the HEASARC SAXWFCCAT table). The present catalog contains 404 sources detected between 3 and 17 keV, 10 of which are yet to be seen by the new generation of telescopes. This table was created by the HEASARC in July 2011 based on an electronic version of Table 3 from the reference paper which was obtained from the ApJS web site.

NGC 6231 Chandra X-Ray Point Source Catalog 2
NGC 6231 is a young cluster (age ~2-7 Myr) dominating the Sco OB1 association (distance ~1.59 kpc) with ~100 O and B stars and a large pre-main-sequence stellar population. The authors combine a reanalysis of archival Chandra X-ray data with multi-epoch near-infrared (NIR) photometry from the VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea (VVV) survey and published optical catalogs to obtain a catalog of 2148 probable cluster members. This catalog is 70% larger than previous censuses of probable cluster members in NGC 6231. It includes many low-mass stars detected in the NIR but not in the optical and some B stars without previously noted X-ray counterparts. In addition, the authors identify 295 NIR variables, about half of which are expected to be pre-main-sequence stars. With the more complete sample, they estimate a total population in the Chandra field of 5700-7500 cluster members down to 0.08 M<sub>sun</sub> (assuming a universal initial mass function) with a completeness limit at 0.5 M<sub>sun</sub>. A decrease in stellar X-ray luminosities is noted relative to other younger clusters. However, within the cluster, there is little variation in the distribution of X-ray luminosities for ages less than 5 Myr. The X-ray spectral hardness for B stars may be useful for distinguishing between early-B stars with X-rays generated in stellar winds and B-star systems with X-rays from a pre-main-sequence companion (>35% of B stars). A small fraction of catalog members have unusually high X-ray median energies or reddened NIR colors, which might be explained by absorption from thick or edge-on disks or being background field stars. This work makes use of some basic cluster properties available from the literature. Summaries of older studies are provided by Sana et al. (2006, J/A+A/454/1047), available in <a href="/W3Browse/xmm-newton/ngc6231xmm.html">NGC6231XMM</a>, and Reipurth (2008hsf2.book.....R). Expanded catalogs of cluster members have been provided by Sung et al. (2013, J/AJ/145/37) and Damiani et al. 2016, J/A+A/596/A82 (DMS2016), available at <a href="/W3Browse/chandra/ngc6231cxo.html">NGC6231CXO</a>. Chandra X-ray observations were made using the imaging array on the Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer (ACIS-I; Garmire et al. 2003SPIE.4851...28G). This instrument is an array of four CCD detectors that subtends 17'x17'. The target was observed in 2005 July (Sequence 200307; PI: S. Murray) in two observations (ObsID 5372 and 6291), and the data were retrieved from the Chandra Data Archive. The NIR ZYJHK<sub>s</sub> data were obtained from the VVV survey (Minniti et al. 2010NewA...15..433M; Saito et al. 2012, Cat. II/337). VVV is a multi-epoch NIR survey that covers both the Galactic bulge and an adjacent Galactic disk region and was carried out using the 4.1 m VISTA telescope on Cerro Paranal. The VVV data were taken with the VISTA Infrared CAMera (VIRCAM; Dalton et al. 2006SPIE.6269E..0XD), a 4x4 array of Raytheon VIRGO 2048x2048 20 micron pixel detectors with a pixel scale of 0.34". In addition to the VVV photometry, public optical or infrared catalogs are available from surveys and publications. We have included VPHAS+ photometry (Drew et al. 2014, J/MNRAS/440/2036), UBVRI (Johnson-Cousins system) and H-alpha photometry from Sung et al. (2013, J/AJ/145/37), and Spitzer/IRAC photometry from the GLIMPSE survey (Benjamin et al. 2003, Cat. II/293).

LMC 30 Doradus Complex Chandra X-Ray Point Source Catalog
This table contains the results of a study of the X-ray point-source population of the 30 Doradus (30 Dor) star-forming complex in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) using high spatial-resolution X-ray images and spatially-resolved spectra obtained with the Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer (ACIS) on board the Chandra X-Ray Observatory. The observation of ~21 ks was made on 1999 September 21 and placed the cluster R136 at the aim point of the ACIS Imaging Array (ACIS-I). This table lists the the X-ray sources detected in the 17' x 17' field centered on R136, the massive star cluster which lies at the center of the main 30 Dor nebula. 20 of the 32 Wolf-Rayet stars in the ACIS field are detected. The cluster R136 is resolved at the sub-arcsecond level into almost 100 X-ray sources, including many typical O3-O5 stars, as well as a few bright X-ray sources which had been previously reported. Over 2 orders of magnitude of scatter in the X-ray luminosity L<sub>x</sub> (calculated assuming a distance of 50 kpc) is seen among R136 O stars, suggesting that X-ray emission in the most massive stars depends critically on the details of wind properties and the binarity of each system, rather than reflecting the widely reported characteristic value L<sub>x</sub>/L<sub>bol</sub> ~ 10<sup>-7</sup>. Such a canonical ratio may exist for single massive stars in R136, but these data are too shallow to confirm this relationship. Through this and more recent X-ray studies of 30 Dor, the complete life cycle of a massive stellar cluster can be revealed. This HEASARC table contains both the primary high-significance X-ray sources as well as some lower-significance tentative X-ray sources. The latter sources should not be considered definitive. A subsequent Chandra observation of this field, with several times the exposure of this observation, will result in a longer, more complete list of point sources than that given in this paper. This table was created by the HEASARC in February 2007 based on the merger of electronic versions of Tables 1, 2 and 5 from the above reference which were obtained from the AJ website. It does not include the results from the spectral analysis of 49 of the X-ray sources having a photometric significance (signal-to-noise ratio) greater than 2 which are presented in Tables 3 and 4 of the reference paper.

Carina Nebula Gum 31 Chandra X-Ray Point Source Catalog
Gum 31 is a prominent, but still rather poorly studied, HII region around the stellar cluster NGC 3324 at the northwestern periphery of the Carina nebula complex. The aim of the authors aim was to reveal and characterize the young stellar population in Gum 31. An X-ray survey is the only efficient way to identify young stars in this region, which has extremely high galactic field-star contamination, that can avoid the strong biases of infrared-excess-selected samples of disk-bearing young stars. The authors used the Chandra observatory to perform a deep (70 ks) X-ray observation of the Gum 31 region and detected 679 X-ray point sources. This extends and complements the X-ray survey of the central Carina nebula regions performed in the Chandra Carina Complex Project (CCCP, available in the HEASARC database system as the CARINACXO table). Using deep near-infrared images from their recent VISTA survey of the Carina nebula complex, their comprehensive Spitzer point-source catalog, and optical archive data, the authors identify counterparts for 75% of these X-ray sources. The aimpoint of the ACIS-I observation was set to be RA(J2000) = 10<sup>h</sup> 37<sup>m</sup> 36.6<sup>s</sup>, Dec(J2000) = -58<sup>o</sup> 41' 18". This position is close to the center of the H II region, and allows both the stellar cluster NGC 3324 and the cluster G286.38-0.26 to be in the inner parts of the field-of-view, where the point-spread function is still very good. The pointing roll angle (i.e., the orientation of the detector with respect to the celestial north direction) was 138.35<sup>o</sup>. The ACIS field-of-view is just wide enough to cover the full spatial extent of the optically bright Gum 31 H II region and some parts of the surrounding dust shell (see Fig. 1 of the reference paper). The ACIS-I field of view is 17' x 17', which corresponds to 11.3 p x 11.3 pc at the Gum 31 distance of 2.3 kpc). The total net exposure time of the observation was 68,909s (19.14 h). The details of the source detection procedures are described in Section 21. of the reference paper. The final X-ray catalog contains 679 individual point sources. The number of extracted counts ranges from 3 for the faintest sources, up to 920 for the strongest source, while the median value is 11 counts. This table contains the basic X-ray properties and near- and mid-infrared photometry of the X-ray sources detected in the Gum 31 field. The details of the IR matching to the X-ray sources are given in Sections 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 of the reference paper. This table was created by the HEASARC in May 2014 based on <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/A+A/564/A120">CDS Catalog J/A+A/564/A120</a> files table1.dat and table3.dat.

IRAS 20126+4104 Chandra X-Ray Point Source Catalog
This table contains results from Chandra ACIS-I and Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array 6-cm continuum observations of the IRAS 20126+4104 massive star-forming region. The authors detect 150 X-ray sources within the 17' x 17' ACIS-I field, and a total of 13 radio sources within the 9.2' primary JVLA beam at 4.9 GHz. Among these observations are the first 6-cm detections of the central sources reported by Hofner et al. (2007, A&A, 465, 197), namely, I20N1, I20S, and I20var. A new variable radio source is also reported in Section 3.2 of the reference paper, [MHA2015] VLA G78.1907+3.364. Searching the 2MASS archive, the authors identified 88 near-infrared (NIR) counterparts to the X-ray sources. Only four of the X-ray sources had 6-cm counterparts. Based on an NIR color-color analysis and on the Besancon simulation of Galactic stellar populations, the authors estimate that approximately 80 X-ray sources are associated with this massive star-forming region. They detect an increasing surface density of X-ray sources toward the massive protostar IRAS 20126+4104 and infer the presence of a cluster of at least 43 young stellar objects within a distance of 1.2 pc from this protostar. The authors observed the IRAS 20126+4104 region with the Chandra ACIS-I instrument on 2003 March 17 for a total exposure time of 39.35 ks. C-band (6 cm) continuum observations of the massive star-forming region IRAS 20126+4104 were conducted with the VLA operated by NRAO on 2011 August 7. These X-ray and radio data are augmented by NIR and optical archival data. For the Mid-IR wavelength regions, the authors searched the Spitzer Enhanced Imaging Products Point Source catalog. This table was created by the HEASARC in March 2016 based on the <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/ApJS/219/41">CDS catalog J/ApJS/219/41</a> files table1.dat and table5.dat.

Hamburg/RASS Catalog: X-Ray Sources
This table is a representation of part of the Hamburg/ROSAT All-Sky Survey (RASS) Catalog (HRC) of optical identifications of X-ray sources at high-galactic latitude, namely the list of X-ray sources. (The list of proposed and possible optical counterparts is given in the linked Browse table HRASSOPTID). The HRC includes all X-ray sources from the ROSAT Bright Source Catalog (RASS-BSC) with galactic latitude |b| >= 30 degrees and declination Dec >= 0 degrees. In this part of the sky covering ~10,000 square degrees, the RASS-BSC contains 5341 X-ray sources. For the optical identification, the HRC authors used blue Schmidt prism and direct plates taken for the northern hemisphere Hamburg Quasar Survey (HQS) which are now available in digitized form. The limiting magnitudes are 18.5 and 20, respectively. For 82% of the selected RASS-BSC, an identification could be given. For the rest, either no counterpart was visible in the error circle, or a plausible identification was not possible. With ~42%, AGN represent the largest group of X-ray emitters, ~31% have a stellar counterpart, whereas galaxies and cluster of galaxies comprise only ~4% and ~5%, respectively. In ~3% of the RASS-BSC sources, no object was visible on the blue direct plates within 40" around the X-ray source position. The catalog has been used as a source for the selection of (nearly) complete samples of the various classes of X-ray emitters. This table was produced by the HEASARC in February 2005 based on the CDS Catalog table J/A+A/406/353/x-ray.dat. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .
Lynds 1641 and iota Ori Region XMM-Newton X-Ray Point Source Catalog
This table contains results from an XMM-Newton and Spitzer survey of the part of the Orion A cloud south of the Orion Nebula, the 'Survey of Orion A with XMM-Newton and Spitzer (SOXS)'. The goal of SOXS is to detect the relatively bright X-ray sources in the Orion A cloud and complete the census of more evolved YSOs in this region. These stars represent a sample of cloud members chosen with minimal a priori bias toward their IR properties. This XMM-Newton survey includes the Lynds 1641 (L1641) dark cloud, a region of the Orion A cloud with very few massive stars and hence a relatively low ambient UV flux, and the region around the O9 III star iota Orionis. In addition to proprietary data, the authors used archival XMM data of the Orion Nebula Cluster (ONC) to extend their analysis to a major fraction of the Orion A cloud. They have detected 1060 X-ray sources with more than 4.5-sigma significance in L1641 and the iota Ori region. About 94% of the sources have Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS) and Spitzer counterparts, 204 and 23 being Class II and Class I or protostar objects, respectively. In addition, the authors have identified 489 X-ray sources as counterparts to Class III candidates, given they are bright in X-rays and appear as normal photospheres at mid-IR wavelengths. The remaining 205 X-ray sources are likely distant active galactic nuclei (AGN) or other galactic sources not related to Orion A. The authors find that Class III candidates appear more concentrated in two main clusters in L1641. The first cluster of Class III stars is found toward the northern part of L1641, concentrated around iota Ori. The stars in this cluster are more evolved than those in the Orion Nebula. The authors estimate a distance of 300-320 pc for this cluster showing that it is in the foreground of the Orion A cloud. Another cluster rich in Class III stars is located in L1641 South and appears to be a slightly older cluster embedded in the Orion A cloud. Furthermore, other evolved Class III stars are found north of the ONC toward NGC 1977. The SOXS survey is composed of seven specifically proposed ~ 50 ks XMM-Newton fields, south of the ONC, to which the authors added four archival fields in the same region. The archival fields are centered on iota Orionis, V380 Ori, and V883 Ori, respectively (see Fig. 1 and Table 1 of the reference paper for more details of the X-ray observations). This HEASARC table contains the contents of Table 2 (1060 X-ray detected sources in the fields S1 - S10 listed in Table 1 of the reference paper), Table 3 (best-fit spectral parameters for the 232 brightest of these X-ray sources) and Table 4 (list of 1041 IR counterparts to the X-ray sources) from the reference paper. Some X-ray sources have no identified counterparts (16 of them in fact lie outside of the FOV of the Spitzer observations), most have a single counterpart, and a small number have 2 or even 3 IR counterparts within the 5 arcseconds matching radius used. For X-ray sources with more than 1 IR counterpart, we have added entries for the additional counterparts (71 in total), repeating the X-ray information in such cases. Thus, this HEASARC table contains 1131 (1060 + 71) entries corresponding to the 1060 X-ray source detections. To make its contents easier to visualize, the HEASARC has added a a parameter ir_match which lists the counterpart number for the entry: If there is no identified IR counterpart, ir_match is set to 0, for the first listed IR counterpart to 1, for the second and third, to 2 and 3, respectively. Thus, if the user wants to reduce the table back to a pure list of X-ray sources and their primary IR counterparts, they should search the table selecting ir_match < 2. This table was created by the HEASARC in August 2013 based on the electronic versions of Tables 2 and 3 from the original reference paper (2013ApJ...768...99P) and Table 4 from the erratum (2013ApJ...773...80P), which were all obtained from the ApJ web site.

Carina Nebula Chandra X-Ray Point Source Classes
The Chandra Carina Complex Project (CCCP) provides a sensitive X-ray survey of a nearby starburst region over > 1 deg<sup>2</sup> in extent. Thousands of faint X-ray sources are found, many concentrated into rich young stellar clusters. However, significant contamination from unrelated Galactic and extragalactic sources is present in the X-ray catalog. In their paper, the authors describe the use of a naive Bayes classifier to assign membership probabilities to individual sources, based on source location, X-ray properties, and visual/infrared properties. For the particular membership decision rule adopted, 75% of CCCP sources are classified as members, 11% are classified as contaminants, and 14% remain unclassified. The resulting sample of stars likely to be Carina members is used in several other studies, which appear in the special issue of Astrophysical Journal Supplement (Volume 194, May 2011 Issue) which was devoted to the CCCP. This table was created by the HEASARC in June 2011 based on the electronic version of Table 5 from the reference paper which was obtained from the ApJS web site. In the input source table, the names were truncated by 3 characters from their complete version. The HEASARC corrected these names, and also obtained the Chandra source positions, using the electronic version of Table 2 from the companion paper (Broos et al. 2011, ApJS, 194, 2: available as the HEASARC Browse table CARINACXO), also obtained from the ApJS web site.

INTEGRAL IBIS All-Sky Survey of Hard X-Ray Sources
The INTEGRAL IBIS All-Sky Survey of Hard X-Ray Sources table contains the results from a paper which is the second in a series devoted to the hard X-ray (17 - 60 keV) whole sky survey which has been performed by the INTEGRAL observatory over its first seven years of observations. This table contains the catalog of detected sources and includes 521 objects, 449 of which exceed a 5-sigma detection threshold on the time-averaged map of the sky, and 53 which were detected in various sub-samples of exposures. Among the identified sources with known and suspected natures, 262 are Galactic (101 low-mass X-ray binaries, 94 high-mass X-ray binaries, 37 cataclysmic variables, and 30 of other types) and 221 are extragalactic, including 217 active galactic nuclei (AGNs) and 4 galaxy clusters. The extragalactic (|b| > 5 degrees) and Galactic (|b| < 5 degrees) persistently detected source samples have high identification completeness (respectively ~96% and ~93%) and are valuable for population studies. The current INTIBISASS table is based on the data provided in Krivonos et al. (2010: Paper II below) and replaces the earlier version available at the HEASARC from February 2008 to December 2010 which was based on Krivonos et al. (2007). This table was updated by the HEASARC in December 2010 based on the <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/A+A/523/A61">CDS catalog J/A+A/523/A61</a> (specifically, the table2.dat and refs.dat files). It was originally created by the HEASARC in February 2008 based on <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/A+A/475/775">CDS catalog J/A+A/475/775</a>, which was superseded by this version.

M 31 Central Region Chandra X-Ray Point Source Catalog
This table countains the M 31 Central Region Catalog of Chandra X-Ray Point Sources. It is based on Chandra observations of the central region of M 31. By combining eight Chandra ACIS-I observations which were taken between 1999 and 2001, the authors have identified 204 X-ray sources within the central ~17'x17' region of M 31, with a detection limit of ~2x10<sup>35</sup> erg/s. Of these 204 X-ray sources, 22 are identified with globular clusters, two with supernova remnants, nine with planetary nebulae, and nine with supersoft sources. By comparing individual images, about 50% of the sources were found to be variable on timescales of months. The authors also found 13 transients, with light curves showing a variety of shapes. They also extracted the energy spectra of the 20 brightest sources; they can be well fitted by a single power law with a mean photon index of 1.8. The spectral shapes of 12 sources were variable, suggesting that they went through state changes. All sources in the catalog have S/N > 2.5 and only five have S/N < 3.0. The detection limit for the sources varies across the image due to the variation of exposure time, background, and instrumental PSF, and is highest near the edges, where the PSF broadens rapidly and the exposure time is lowest. Over the inner 4' of the field, the detection limit is 2.1 x 10<sup>-4</sup> ct/s, which is equivalent to an X-ray luminosity of about 2 x 10<sup>35</sup> erg/s. Additional information about optical identifications and cross-correlated ROSAT X-ray sources not provided in this HEASARC table is available in the published paper (Tables 4 and 5) and/or the CDS at <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/ApJ/577/738/">https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/ApJ/577/738/</a> (table4.dat & table5.dat). This table was created by the HEASARC in October 2004 based on <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/ApJ/577/738/table2">CDS Catalog J/ApJ/577/738/table2</a>.dat.

MER ALPHA PARTICLE X-RAY SPECTROMETER 5 OXIDE ABUNDANCE V1.0
This archive contains oxide abundance data derived from the APXS Reduced Data Record (RDR) products on the Mars Exploration Rovers. The data consist of one file for each rover. When new APXS RDR data appear in a MER release, the oxide abundance data are revised in the following release approximately three months later. Hence the oxide data lag behind the EDR and RDR data by one release.
NGC 1399 Chandra X-Ray Source Catalog
This table contains results from a wide-field study of the globular cluster (GC)/low-mass X-ray binary (LMXB) connection in the giant elliptical NGC 1399. The large field of view of the Advanced Camera for Surveys/WFC, combined with the high resolution of the Hubble Space Telescope and Chandra, allow the authors to constrain the LMXB formation scenarios in elliptical galaxies. They confirm that NGC 1399 has the highest LMXB fraction in GCs of all nearby elliptical galaxies studied so far, even though the exact value depends on galactocentric distance due to the interplay of a differential GC versus galaxy light distribution and the GC color dependence. In fact, LMXBs are preferentially hosted by bright, red GCs out to > 5 R<sub>eff</sub> of the galaxy light. The finding that GCs hosting LMXBs follow the radial distribution of their parent GC population argues against the hypothesis that the external dynamical influence of the galaxy affects the LMXB formation in GCs. On the other hand, field-LMXBs closely match the host galaxy light, thus indicating that they are originally formed in situ and not inside GCs. The authors measure GC structural parameters, finding that the LMXB formation likelihood is influenced independently by mass, metallicity, and GC structural parameters. In particular, the GC central density plays a major role in predicting which GCs host accreting binaries. Finally, this analysis shows that LMXBs in GCs are marginally brighter than those in the field, and in particular the only color-confirmed GC with L<sub>X</sub> > 10<sup>39</sup> erg/s shows no variability, which may indicate a superposition of multiple LMXBs in these systems. The optical data were taken with the ACS on board the HST (GO-10129), in the F606W filter. A detailed description of the HST data and source catalogs are given in Puzia T.H. et al. 2011, in preparation. The X-ray data were retrieved from the Chandra public archive (CXC). The authors selected observations 319 (ACIS-S; 2000 Jan 18) and 1472 (ACIS-I; 2003 May 26). This table contains the list of 230 X-ray sources detected in the overlap region common to Chandra ACIS-I, Chandra ACIS-S and HST ACS observation (see Fig 1 of the reference paper). Details of the X-ray source detection methodology are given in Section 2.2 of the reference paper. This table was created by the HEASARC in January 2013 based on the <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/ApJ/736/90">CDS Catalog J/ApJ/736/90</a> file table3.dat.

Galactic Center Chandra X-Ray Source Near-IR Counterparts
This table contains a catalog of 5184 candidate infrared counterparts to X-ray sources detected toward the Galactic center. The X-ray sample contains 9017 point sources detected in this region by the Chandra X-ray Observatory during the past decade, including data from a recent deep survey of the central 2 degrees x 0.8 degrees of the Galactic plane. A total of 6760 of these sources have hard X-ray colors, and the majority of them lie near the Galactic center, while most of the remaining 2257 soft X-ray sources lie in the foreground. The authors have cross-correlated the X-ray source positions with the 2MASS and SIRIUS near-infrared catalogs, which collectively contain stars with a 10-sigma limiting flux of K<sub>s</sub> <= 15.6 mag. In order to distinguish absorbed infrared sources near the Galactic center from those in the foreground, they defined red and blue sources as those which have H - K<sub>s</sub> >= 0.9 and < 0.9 mag, respectively. The authors find that 5.8% =/- 1.5% (2 sigma) of the hard X-ray sources have real infrared counterparts, of which 228 +/- 99 are red and 166 +/- 27 are blue. The red counterparts are probably comprised of Wolf-Rayet and O stars, high-mass X-ray binaries, and symbiotic binaries located near the Galactic center. Foreground X-ray binaries suffering intrinsic X-ray absorption could be included in the sample of blue infrared counterparts to hard X-ray sources. The authors also find that 39.4% +/- 1.0% of the soft X-ray sources have blue infrared counterparts; most of these are probably coronally active dwarfs in the foreground. There is a noteworthy collection of ~20 red counterparts to hard X-ray sources near the Sagittarius B H II region, which are probably massive binaries that have formed within the last several Myr. For each of the infrared matches to X-ray sources in their catalog, the authors derived the probability that the association is real, based on the source properties and the results of the cross-correlation analysis. These data are included in this catalog and will serve spectroscopic surveys to identify infrared counterparts to X-ray sources near the Galactic center. This table was created by the HEASARC in October 2009 based on the electronic version of Table 3 from the reference paper which was obtained from the Astrophysical Journal web site.

Calan-Yale Deep Extragalactic Research Survey X-Ray Source Catalog
The main goal of the Calan-Yale Deep Extragalactic Research (CYDER) Survey X-ray survey is to study serendipitous X-ray sources detected by Chandra in an intermediate flux range (10<sup>-15</sup> to 10<sup>-12</sup> ergs/s) that comprises most of the X-ray background. A total of 267 X-ray sources spread over five archived fields were detected. The log N - log S distribution obtained for this sample is consistent with the results of other surveys. Deep V and I images were taken of these fields in order to calculate X-ray-to-optical flux ratios. Identifications and redshifts were obtained for 106 sources using optical spectroscopy from 8 m class telescopes to reach the optically faintest sources, to the same level as deeper X-ray fields like the Chandra Deep Fields, showing that the nature of sources detected depends mostly on the optical limit for spectroscopy. This table was created by the HEASARC in March 2007 based on the CDS table J/ApJ/621/104, file table4.dat. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .
