First DENIS I-band Extragalactic Catalog
This database contains the release of the provisional extragalactic catalog constructed from the "Deep Near Infrared Southern Sky Survey" (DENIS) and is sometimes referred to as REDCAT (Rapid Extraction from DENIS Catalog). It was created using an automatic galaxy recognition program based on a discriminating analysis, the efficiency of which is estimated to be better than 99%. The nominal accuracy for galaxy coordinates calculated with the Guide Star Catalog is about 6 arcseconds. The cross-identification with galaxies available in the Lyon-Meudon Extragalactic DAtabase (LEDA) allows a calibration of the I-band photometry with the sample of Mathewson et al. (1992, ApJS, 81, 413) and Mathewson and Ford (1996, ApJS, 107, 97). Thus, the catalog contains total I-band magnitude, isophotal diameter, axis ratio, position angle and a rough estimate of the morphological type code for 20620 galaxies. The internal completeness of this catalog reaches a limiting I-band magnitude of 14.5, with a photometric accuracy of 0.18 mag. 25% of the Southern sky has been processed in this study. This database was created by the HEASARC in July 1999 based on a machine-readable version that was obtained form the CDS Data Center. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .
COSMOS VLA Deep 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.These VLA data represent the additional 62 hrs of 1.4 GHz (20cm) observations of the central 7 pointings already imaged by the large project in A-configuration in February/March 2006. The observations have been combined with the large project in which the 2 square degree COSMOS field with the position given above as the center of the field was surveyed for 275 hours. The observations of the large project were performed at 1.4 GHz (20 cm), using the VLA in its A- and C-configuration between September 2004 and September 2005. The final combined survey has reached a sensitivity of an rms of uJy/beam in the central 30' at a resolution of 2.5"x2.5".
Suzaku Master Catalog
This database table records high-level information for each Suzaku observation and provides access to the data archive. Each record is associated with a single observation. An observation contains data from all instruments on board Suzaku. The Suzaku satellate operated from July 2005 till September 2015. This database table was generated at the Suzaku proceesing site with the final data reprocessing (September 2016) after the mission stopped operating. During operation, it was updated on daily basis.

ROSAT PSPC Catalog of Clusters of Galaxies
This is a catalog of 203 clusters of galaxies serendipitously detected in 647 ROSAT PSPC high Galactic latitude pointings covering 158 square degrees. This is one of the largest X-ray-selected cluster samples, comparable in size only to the ROSAT All-Sky Survey sample of nearby clusters (Ebeling et al. 1997). Clusters in the inner 17.'5 of the ROSAT PSPC field of view are detected using the spatial extent of their X-ray emission. Fluxes of detected clusters range from 1.6 x 10<sup>-14</sup> to 8 x 10<sup>-12</sup> ergs s<sup>-1</sup> cm<sup>-2</sup> in the 0.5-2 keV energy band. X-ray luminosities range from 10<sup>42</sup> ergs s<sup>-1</sup>, corresponding to very poor groups, to ~5 x 10<sup>44</sup> ergs s<sup>-1</sup>, corresponding to rich clusters. The cluster redshifts range from z = 0.015 to z > 0.5. The catalog lists X-ray fluxes, core radii, and spectroscopic redshifts for 73 clusters and photometric redshifts for the remainder. Of 223 X-ray sources, 203 have been optically confirmed as clusters of galaxies. Of the remaining 20 sources, 19 are likely false detections arising from blends of unresolved point X-ray sources. Optical identifications of the remaining object are hampered by a nearby bright star. Above a flux of 2 x 10<sup>-13</sup> ergs s<sup>-1</sup> cm<sup>-2</sup>, 98% of extended X-ray sources are optically confirmed clusters. The number of false detections and their flux distribution are in perfect agreement with simulations. The log N-log S relation for clusters derived from this catalog shows excellent agreement with counts of bright clusters derived from the Einstein Extended Medium Sensitivity Survey and the ROSAT All-Sky Survey. At fainter fluxes, its log N-log S relation agrees with the smaller area WARPS survey. The cluster counts appear to be systematically higher than those from a 50 square degree survey by Rosati et al. This database was created by the HEASARC in December 2001 based on the CDS/ADC catalog J/ApJ/502/558/ (table3.dat). This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .
General Catalog of Variable Stars (June 2022 Version)
Work aimed at compiling detailed catalogs of variable stars in the Galaxy, which has been carried out continuously by Moscow variable-star researchers since 1946 on behalf of the International Astronomical Union, has entered the stage of the publication of the 5th, completely electronic edition of the General Catalog of Variable Stars (GCVS). The GCVS 5.1 is freely accessible on the Internet. The authors recommend citing their paper as a unified reference to the 5th edition of the GCVS. The GCVS is the only reference source on all known variable stars. This version contains the electronically-readable version as distributed by the Sternberg Astronomical Institute and Institute of Astronomy (Russian Acad. Sci.), Moscow. After the publication of Volume III of the 4th edition of the GCVS, the subsequent Name-lists with numbers from 67 to 77 contained only names of variable stars in the GCVS systems, together with their coordinates and variability types. The authors actually started compiling the 5th edition of the GCVS ten years ago, with the 78th Name-list of Variable Stars, which provided (as did all subsequent Name-lists) complete GCVS information for each star (in addition to the variability types, ranges of brightness variations, epochs of brightness maxima or minima, periods, etc.). In all, the 78th-81st Name-lists contain more than 13300 variable stars. The complete revision of information on the coordinates of variable stars (see the Introduction section of the reference paper) was also a part of the transition to the 5th edition. The present electronic version of the GCVS5.1 is available from Sternberg Astronomical Institute (Lomonosov Moscow University) and Institute of Astronomy (Russian Academy of Sciences) at <a href="http://www.sai.msu.su/gcvs/gcvs/">http://www.sai.msu.su/gcvs/gcvs/</a> as a first release of the fifth GCVS edition. Information on the contents and principles of the fifth edition can be found in Samus et al. (2017), the official reference to GCVS 5.1. The GCVS 5.1 version contains data for individual variable objects discovered and named as variable stars by 2021 and located mainly in the Milky Way galaxy. The total number of named variable stars, not counting designated non-existing stars or stars subsequently identified with earlier-named variables, is now 58035. The stars of the GCVS 5.1 are stars of the GCVS fourth edition plus Name-lists Nos. 67-84. The stars from the Name-lists Nos.78-84 are presented in the complete GCVS format. Complete information for stars of the Name-lists Nos. 67-77 is so far provided in the first 20 constellations (Andromeda to Cepheus). In these constellations, the GCVS information has been completely revised with active use of new publications as well as observations retrieved by the GCVS compilers by data mining and used to determine new variability types and new light elements whenever possible. The authors are continuing this work and will introduce new data for the next constellations as soon as they are ready. This version of the GCVS catalog was last updated by the HEASARC in September 2022, based on the file at <a href="http://www.sai.msu.su/gcvs/gcvs/gcvs5/gcvs5.txt">http://www.sai.msu.su/gcvs/gcvs/gcvs5/gcvs5.txt</a>.

OMC-2 and OMC-3 Chandra X-Ray Point Source Catalog
The OMC-2 and OMC-3 Chandra X-Ray Point Source Catalog contains the results of the Chandra X-ray observation of Orion Molecular Clouds 2 and 3 (OMC-2 and OMC-3). A deep exposure of ~100 ks detects ~400 X-ray sources in the field of view (FOV) of the ACIS array, providing one of the largest X-ray catalogs in a star-forming region as of the date that this was published (February 2002). Coherent studies of the source detection, time variability, and energy spectra were performed. The authors classified the X-ray sources into Class I, Class II, and Class III+MS types based on the J-, H-, and K-band colors of their near-infrared counterparts, and discussed the X-ray properties (temperature, absorption, and time variability) along these evolutionary phases. The results of the X-ray imaging analysis and a correlation with the 2MASS Catalog are given for all the detected X-ray sources. Notice that the sources '[TKT2002] I1' - '[TKT2002] I354' and '[TKT2002] S1' - '[TKT2002] S11' were detected in the total-band image (0.5 - 8.0 keV) images of the ACIS-I and the ACIS-S2 CCDs, respectively, but that source '[TKT2002] I355' - '[TKT2002] I369' and '[TKT2002] S12' - '[TKT2002] S13' were detected only in the hard-band (2.0 - 8.0 keV) images of the ACIS-I and the ACIS-S2 CCDs, and '[TKT2002] I370' - '[TKT2002] I385' were detected only in the soft-band (0.5 - 2.0 keV) image of the ACIS-I. No new source was detected in the soft band image of the ACIS-S2 CCD. This table was created by the HEASARC in January 2007 based on CDS table J/ApJ/566/974, files table1.dat and table2.dat.

BAX X-Ray Galaxy Clusters and Groups Catalog
This table contains the BAX X-Ray Galaxy Clusters and Groups Catalog. BAX (`Base de Donnees Amas de Galaxies X': see <a href="http://bax.ast.obs-mip.fr/">http://bax.ast.obs-mip.fr/</a> for more details) is a multi-wavelength database dedicated to X-ray clusters and groups of galaxies which allows detailed information retrieval. BAX is designed to support astronomical research by providing access to published measurements of the main physical quantities and to the related bibliographic references: basic data stored in the database are cluster/group identifiers, equatorial coordinates, redshift, flux, X-ray luminosity (in the ROSAT band) and temperature, and (in the online version at <a href="http://bax.ast.obs-mip.fr/">http://bax.ast.obs-mip.fr/</a>) links to additional linked parameters (in X-rays, such as spatial profile parameters, as well as SZ parameters of the hot gas, lensing measurements, and data at other wavelengths, such as the optical and radio bands). The clusters and groups in the online BAX database can be queried by the basic parameters as well as the linked parameters or combinations of these. The authors expect BAX to become an important tool for the astronomical community. BAX will optimize various aspects of the scientific analysis of X-ray clusters and groups of galaxies, from proposal planning to data collection, interpretation and publication, from both ground based facilities like MEGACAM (CFHT), VIRMOS (VLT) and from space missions like XMM-Newton, Chandra and Planck. This table was created by the HEASARC in October 2004 based on CDS table B/bax/bax.dat. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .
Green Bank Telescope 100-m 31-GHZ Radio Source Catalog
The 100m Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope (GBT) and the 40m Owens Valley Radio Observatory (OVRO) telescope have been used to conduct a 31-GHz survey of 3165 known extragalactic radio sources over 143 deg<sup>2</sup> of the sky. Target sources were selected from the NRAO VLA Sky Survey (NVSS) in fields observed by the Cosmic Background Imager (CBI); most are extragalactic active galactic nuclei (AGNs) with 1.4-GHz flux densities of 3-10 mJy. Using a maximum-likelihood analysis to obtain an unbiased estimate of the distribution of the 1.4 - 31 GHz spectral indices of these sources, the authors find a mean 31 - 1.4 GHz flux ratio of 0.110 +/- 0.003 corresponding to a spectral index alpha = -0.71+/-0.01 (S<sub>nu</sub> ~ nu<sup>alpha</sup>); 9.0% +/- 0.8% of the sources have alpha > -0.5 and 1.2% +/- 0.2% have alpha > 0. By combining this spectral-index distribution with 1.4GHz source counts, the authors predict 31-GHz source counts in the range 1 mJy <S<sub>31</sub> < 4 mJy, N(>S<sub>31</sub>) = (16.7+/-1.7)deg<sup>-2</sup>(S<sub>31</sub>/1mJy)<sup>(-0.80+/-0.07)</sup>. In this study, the authors present a detailed characterization of the impact of the discrete source foreground on arcminute-scale 31-GHz anisotropy measurements based upon two observational campaigns. The first campaign (the results of which are given in the OVRO31GHZ table) was carried out with the OVRO 40m telescope at 31 GHz from 2000 September through 2002 December. The second campaign (the results of which are given in the present table) used the GBT from 2006 February to May. A companion paper (Sievers et al. 2009arXiv0901.4540S) presents the five-year CBI total intensity power spectrum incorporating the results of the point-source measurements discussed here. Reported error bars include a 10% and 5% rms gain uncertainty for GBT and OVRO measurements, respectively. Sources detected at greater than 4 sigma at 31 GHz are flagged (detection_flag = 'Y'); for this calculation, the random gain uncertainty was excluded. In all 3165 sources were observed. The GBT catalog (this table) contains 1490 sources. Of the 2315 useful OVRO observations many of the non-detections (and a few detections) were superceded by more sensitive GBT observations; the OVRO catalog contained in the HEASARC's OVRO31GHZ table therefore contains data on 1675 sources. The detection rate of the OVRO measurements was 11%, and that of the GBT measurements 25%. In all, 18% of the sources were detected at 31 GHz.

HEAO 1 A2 LED Catalog
The HEAO 1 A-2 LED Catalog of High-Energy X-ray Sources is the result of a study of the diffuse X-ray sky over the bands of X-ray energies 0.18-0.44 keV and 0.44-2.8 keV from August 1977 until January 1979 using data obtained with the A-2 Low Energy Detector on the HEAO 1 satellite. The HEAO A-2 Experiment was primarily designed for studying the diffuse X-ray background; however, it was also capable of studying point sources to good sensitivity. The detectors surveyed over 95 percent of the sky in the spectral bands listed above to typical limiting sensitivities of 1x10**-11 and 3x10**-11 respectively. Using a significance criterion of 6 sigma for existence, 114 sources are cataloged. The catalog contains a list of all counterpart identifications and a cross-reference to all HEAO 1 A-2 LED team publications on the catalog sources complete through the end of 1981. The identified sources fall into several categories, primarily dependent on observing energy interval. In the 1 KeV band the sources include: 20 galactic stellar sources, 19 extragalactic sources, 13 SNR's, 11 galactic bulge sources, 2 globular cluster sources, and 2 previously reported sources without optical counterparts. In the .25 KeV band the sources include: 24 galactic stellar objects, 12 extragalactic sources, 5 SNR's, 1 bulge source, and 1 globular cluster source. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .
Murchison Widefield Array 32-T Low-Frequency Source Catalog
The Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) is a new low-frequency, wide-field-of-view radio interferometer under development at the Murchison Radio-astronomy Observatory in Western Australia. The authors have used a 32 element MWA prototype interferometer (MWA-32T) to observe two 50 degree diameter fields in the southern sky, covering a total of ~ 2700 deg<sup>2</sup>, in order to evaluate the performance of the MWA-32T, to develop techniques for epoch of reionization experiments, and to make measurements of astronomical foregrounds. They developed a calibration and imaging pipeline for the MWA-32T, and used it to produce ~15 arcminutes angular resolution maps of the two fields in the 110-200 MHz band. The authors perform a blind source extraction using these confusion-limited images, and detect 655 sources at high significance with an additional 871 lower significance source candidates. They compare these sources with existing low-frequency radio surveys in their paper in order to assess the MWA-32T system performance, wide-field analysis algorithms, and catalog quality. Their source catalog is found to agree well with existing low-frequency surveys in these regions of the sky and with statistical distributions of point sources derived from Northern Hemisphere surveys; it represents one of the deepest surveys to date of this sky field in the 110-200 MHz band. Observations were conducted with the MWA-32T in 2010 March during a two-week campaign (X13). Data were taken in three 30.72 MHz sub-bands centered at 123.52 MHz, 154.24 MHz, and 184.96 MHz in order to give (nearly) continuous frequency coverage between ~ 110 MHz and ~ 200 MHz. The observing time was divided between two fields. One field was centered on the bright extragalactic source Hydra A at RA (J2000) = 9<sup>h</sup> 18<sup>m</sup> 6<sup>s</sup>, Dec (J2000) = -12^o 5' 45" to facilitate calibration. The other covered the Epoch of Reionization (EoR) field 2, centered at RA (J2000) = 10<sup>h</sup> 20<sup>m</sup> 0<sup>s</sup>, Dec (J2000) = -10<sup>o</sup> 0' 0". The EoR2 field is one of two fields at high Galactic latitude that have been identified by the MWA Collaboration as targets for future EoR experiments. Although the centers of the Hydra A and EoR2 fields are separated by 15.3 degrees, there is considerable overlap between them since the half-power beam width of the primary beam is ~ 25 degrees at 150 MHz. Table 1 in the reference paper gives a journal of the observations. This table contains 648 radio sources which were detected in the full-band average map at or above a signal-to-noise ratio of 5. This table was created by the HEASARC in October 2012, based on an electronic version of table 2 from the reference paper as obtained from the ApJ website.

New Optically Visible Open Clusters and Candidates Catalog
This is a new catalog of open clusters in the Galaxy which updates the previous catalogs of Lynga (1987, <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/VII/92">CDS Cat. VII/92</a>, the HEASARC Browse table now called LYNGACLUST) and of Mermilliod (1995, in Information and On-Line Data in Astronomy, ed. D. Egret & M. A. Albrecht (Dordrecht: Kluwer), 127) (included in the WEBDA database, <a href="http://www.univie.ac.at/webda/">http://www.univie.ac.at/webda/</a>). New objects and new data, in particular, data on kinematics (proper motions) that were not present in the old catalogs, have been included. Virtually all of the clusters presently known are included, which represents a large increase in the number of objects (almost 1,000) relative to the Lynga Catalog. In total, 99.7% of the objects have estimates of their apparent diameters, and 74.5% have distance, E(B-V) and age determinations. Concerning the data on kinematics, 54.7% have their mean proper motions listed, 25% their mean radial velocities, and 24.2% have both information simultaneously. Acknowledgments: Extensive use has been made by the authors of the SIMBAD and WEBDA databases. This project is supported by FAPESP (grant number 03/12813-4) and CAPES (CAPES-GRICES grant number 040/2008). This database table was originally created by the HEASARC in September 2002 based on the CDS version of the catalog.

XMM-Newton CFHTLS W1 Field Galaxy Groups Catalog
This table contains a catalog of 128 X-ray galaxy groups, covering a redshift (z) range 0.04 < z <1.23, selected in the ~ 3 deg<sup>2</sup> part of the CFHTLS W1 field overlapping XMM-Newton observations performed under the XMM-LSS project. The authors carry out a statistical study of the redshift evolution out to redshift 1 of the magnitude gap between the first and the second brightest cluster galaxies of a well defined mass-selected group sample. They find that the slope of the relation between the fraction of groups and the magnitude gap steepens with redshift, indicating a larger fraction of fossil groups at lower redshifts. They also find that 22.2% +/- 6% of their groups at z <= 0.6 are fossil groups. The authors compare their results with the predictions of three semi-analytic models based on the Millennium simulation. The intercept of the relation between the magnitude of the brightest galaxy and the value of magnitude gap becomes brighter with increasing redshift. This trend is steeper than the model predictions which the authors attribute to the younger stellar age of the observed brightest cluster galaxies. This trend argues in favor of stronger evolution of the feedback from active galactic nuclei at z < 1 compared to the models. The slope of the relation between the magnitude of the brightest cluster galaxy and the value of the gap does not evolve with redshift and is well reproduced by the models, indicating that the tidal galaxy stripping, put forward as an explanation of the occurrence of the magnitude gap, is both a dominant mechanism and sufficiently well modeled. In this study, the authors analyzed the XMM-Newton observations of the CFHTLS wide (W1) field as a part of the XMM-LSS survey (Pierre et al., 2007, MNRAS, 382, 279). The details of the observations and the data reduction are presented in Bielby et al. (2010, A&A, 523, A66). The authors concentrate on the low-z counterparts of the X-ray sources and use all XMM-Newton observations performed until 2009, covering an area of 2.276 x 2.276 square degrees. The CFHTLS wide observations were carried out in the period between 2003 and 2008, covering an effective survey area of ~ 154 square degrees. The optical images and data of the CFHTLS were obtained with the MegaPrime instrument mounted on the CFHT in the five filters u*, g', r', i' and z'. This table was created by the HEASARC in December 2014 based on <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/A+A/566/A140">CDS catalog J/A+A/566/A140</a> file table1.dat.

VLA-COSMOS Survey 324-MHz Continuum Source Catalog
This table contains a source catalog based on 90-cm (324-MHz) Very Large Array (VLA) imaging of the COSMOS field, comprising a circular area of 3.14 square degrees centered on 10<sup>h</sup> 00<sup>m</sup> 28.6<sup>s</sup>, _02<sup>o</sup> 12' 21" (J2000.0 RA and Dec). The image from the merger of 3 nights of observations using all 27 VLA antennas had an effective total integration time of ~ 12 hours, an 8.0 arcsecond x 6.0 arcsecond angular resolution, and an average rms of 0.5 mJy beam<sup>-1</sup>. The extracted catalog contains 182 sources (down to 5.5 sigma), 30 of which are multi-component sources. Using Monte Carlo artificial source simulations, the authors derive the completeness of the catalog, and show that their 90-cm source counts agree very well with those from previous studies. In their paper, the authors use X-ray, NUV-NIR and radio COSMOS data to investigate the population mix of this 90-cm radio sample, and find that the sample is dominated by active galactic nuclei. The average 90-20 cm spectral index (S_nu_~ nu<sup>alpha</sup>, where S<sub>nu</sub> is the flux density at frequency nu and alpha the spectral index) of the 90-cm selected sources is -0.70, with an interquartile range from -0.90 to -0.53. Only a few ultra-steep-spectrum sources are present in this sample, consistent with results in the literature for similar fields. These data do not show clear steepening of the spectral index with redshift. Nevertheless, this sample suggests that sources with spectral indices steeper than -1 all lie at z >~ 1, in agreement with the idea that ultra-steep-spectrum radio sources may trace intermediate-redshift galaxies (z >~ 1). Using both the signal and rms maps (see Figs. 1 and 2 in the reference paper) as input data, the authors ran the AIPS task SAD to obtain a catalog of candidate components above a given local signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) threshold. The task SAD was run four times with search S/N levels of 10, 8, 6 and 5, using the resulting residual image each time. They recovered all the radio components with a local S/N > 5.00. Subsequently, all the selected components were visually inspected, in order to check their reliability, especially for the components near strong side-lobes. After a careful analysis, a S/N threshold of 5.50 was adopted as the best compromise between a deep and a reliable catalog. The procedure yielded a total of 246 components with a local S/N > 5.50. More than one component, identified in the 90-cm map sometimes belongs to a single radio source (e.g. large radio galaxies consist of multiple components). Using the 90-cm COSMOS radio map, the authors combined the various components into single sources based on visual inspection. The final catalog (contained in this HEASARC table) lists 182 radio sources, 30 of which have been classified as multiple, i.e. they are better described by more than a single component. Moreover, in order to ensure a more precise classification, all sources identified as multi-component sources have been also double-checked using the 20-cm radio map. The authors found that all the 26 multiple 90-cm radio sources within the 20-cm map have 20-cm counterpart sources already classified as multiple. The authors have made use of the VLA-COSMOS Large and Deep Projects over 2 square degrees, reaching down to an rms of ~15 µJy beam<sup>1</sup> ^ at 1.4 GHz and 1.5 arcsec resolution (Schinnerer et al. 2007, ApJS, 172, 46: the VLACOSMOS table in the HEASARC database). The 90-cm COSMOS radio catalog has, however, been extracted from a larger region of 3.14 square degrees (see Fig. 1 and Section 3.1 of the reference paper). This implies that a certain number of 90-cm sources (48) lie outside the area of the 20-cm COSMOS map used to select the radio catalog. Thus, to identify the 20-cm counterparts of the 90-cm radio sources, the authors used the joint VLA-COSMOS catalog (Schinnerer et al. 2010, ApJS, 188, 384: the VLACOSMJSC table in the HEASARC database) for the 134 sources within the 20-cm VLA-COSMOS area and the VLA- FIRST survey (White et al. 1997, ApJ, 475, 479: the FIRST table in the HEASARC database) for the remaining 48 sources. The 90-cm sources were cross-matched with the 20-cm VLA-COSMOS sources using a search radius of 2.5 arcseconds, while the cross-match with the VLA-FIRST sources has been done using a search radius of 4 arcseconds in order to take into account the larger synthesized beam of the VLA-FIRST survey of ~5 arcseconds. Finally, all the 90 cm - 20 cm associations were visually inspected in order to ensure also the association of the multiple 90-cm radio sources for which the value of the search radius used during the cross-match could be too restrictive. In summary, out of the total of 182 sources in the 90-cm catalog, 168 have counterparts at 20 cm. This table was created by the HEASARC in October 2014 bas
ROSAT All-Sky Survey/ASIAGO-ESO QSO Survey Catalog
This table contains some of the first results of a survey for bright quasars (V < 14.5 and R < 15.4) covering the northern hemisphere at Galactic latitudes |b| > 30 degrees. The photometric database is derived from the Guide Star and USNO catalogs. Quasars are identified on the basis of their X-ray emission measured in the ROSAT All-Sky Survey (RASS). The surface density of quasars brighter than 15.5 magnitudes turns out to be (10 +/- 2) x 10<sup>-3</sup> degrees<sup>-2</sup>, about 3 times higher than that estimated by the Palomar-Green (PG) survey. In the paper, the quasar optical luminosity function (LF) at 0.04 < z <= 0.3 is computed and shown to be consistent with a luminosity-dependent luminosity evolution of the type derived by La Franca & Cristiani (1997AJ....113.1517L) in the range 0.3 < z <=2.2. The predictions of semianalytical models of hierarchical structure formation agree remarkably well with the present observations. This table was created by the HEASARC in September 2010 based on the combination of the electronic versions of Tables 2, 3, and 4 from the reference paper which were obtained from the CDS (their catalog J/AJ/119/2540).

The catalog includes various identification parameters, SDSS astrometric measurements (five SDSS magnitudes and their errors), and orbital elements for previously cataloged asteroids. The data set also includes a list of the runs from which data are included, and filter response curves.
RCW 108 Star Formation Region Chandra X-Ray Point Source Catalog
This table contains some of the results of an approximately 90 ks Chandra observation of a complex region that hosts multiple sites of recent and active star formation in ARA OB1a. The field is centered on the embedded cluster RCW 108-IR and includes a large portion of the open cluster NGC 6193. The authors detected over 420 X-ray sources in the field and combined these data with deep near-IR, Spitzer/IRAC and Midcourse Space Experiment (MSX) mid-IR data. They find that about 360 of the X-ray sources have near-IR counterparts. They divide the region into five parts based on the X-ray point source characteristics and extended 8 micron emission. The most clearly defined regions are the central region, identified by embedded sources with high luminosities in the both the near-IR and X-ray as well as high X-ray temperatures (~3 keV), and the eastern region, identified by low extinction and ~1 keV X-ray temperatures. Other regions, identified by their directional relationship to RCW 108-IR, are less uniform, representing combinations of the first two regions, independent star formation epochs, or both. The cluster members range in X-ray luminosity from 10<sup>29</sup> to 10<sup>33</sup> erg s<sup>-1</sup>. Over 18% of the cluster members with over 100 counts exhibit flares. All sources with over 350 counts are variable. Overall about 10% (16% in RCW 108-IR) appear to have optically thick disks as derived from their position in the (J - H), (H - K) diagram. The disk fraction becomes much higher when IRAC data are employed. The largest fraction of X-ray sources is best described as possessing some disk material via a more detailed extinction fitting. The authors fit the bulk of the X-ray spectra as absorbed Raymond-Smith-type plasmas, and find that the column to the RCW 108-IR members varies from 10<sup>21</sup> to 10<sup>23</sup> cm<sup>-2</sup>. They find that the field contains 41 candidate O or B stars, and estimate that the total number of pre-main-sequence stars in the field is about 1600 +/- 200. Approximately 800 are confined to the 3' (~1.1 pc) central region. The field was observed by Chandra on 2004 October 25 starting at 02:37 UT for 92.2 ks of total time and 88.8 ks of so-called "good-time" (ObsId 4503). The ACIS was used in the nominal imaging array (chips I0-I3) which provides a field of view of approximately 17' by 17' (~6.5 pc on a side). The aimpoint was at RA, Dec = 16:39:58.7, -48:51:54.4 (J2000.0). In addition, the S2 and S3 chips were on and located over IRAS 16379-4856. About 20 point sources were detected associated with this object; however, the analysis of these data is not presented here because they are far off-axis. This table was created by the HEASARC in June 2008 based on electronic versions of Tables 1, 2, 5, 7, 10 and 11 from the reference paper which were obtained from the Astronomical Journal web site.

COS-B Photon Events Catalog
The European Space Agency's satellite COS-B was dedicated to gamma-ray astronomy in the energy range 50 MeV to 5 Gev and carried a single spark chamber telescope with approximately a 20 degree field of view. COS-B operated in a highly eccentric polar orbit with apogee around 90000 km between 17 August 1975 and 25 April 1982. During this operational lifetime, COS-B made 65 observations, 15 of which were devoted to high (>20 deg) galactic latitudes. The COSBRAW database table is a log of the 65 COS-B observation intervals and contains target names, sky coordinates start times and other information taken from the final COS-B database produced by ESA in 1985. This final database consisted of three basic datasets: `OBSLI`, a dataset describing each observation period, typically a month; `OURLI`, a dataset describing each uninterrupted observation interval, lasting between 10 minutes and 10 hours; and `GAMLI`, a dataset containing records for each accepted gamma-ray photon. These three data sets were combined into FITS format images at NASA/GSFC. The images were formed by making the center pixel of a 1024 x 1024 pixel image correspond to the RA and DEC given in the `OBSLI` file. Each photon's RA and DEC was converted to a relative pixel in the image. This was done by using Aitoff projections. All the raw data from these three COS-B files are now stored in 65 FITS files accessible with BROWSE software in the database COSBRAW. The images can be accessed and plotted using XIMAGE and other columns of the FITS file extensions can be plotted with the FTOOL FPLOT. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .
Spitzer Extragalactic First Look Survey WIYN/Hydra Line Ratios and Extinction Catalog
The Extragalactic First Look Survey is composed of 4 square degrees of imaging with MIPS and IRAC centered at J1718+5930, with extensive ancillary data from ground-based optical and radio telescopes. As one of the first observations made with Spitzer after the completion of Science Verification at the end of 2003 November, the aim of this 67 hr survey was to characterize the extragalactic source populations observed with Spitzer down to sub-millijansky levels in the mid-infrared. This catalog presents line ratio and extinction measurements from the WIYN/Hydra spectra described in Marleau et al. (2007).
Galactic Planetary Nebulae Catalog
This is the 1992 Version of the Strasbourg-ESO Catalog of Galactic Planetary Nebulae (Acker et al.1992). It includes 1143 true and probable planetary nebulae (from Table 1 of the publication) and 347 objects whose status was still unclear and were thus classified among the "possible" planetary nebulae (from Table 2 of the publication); it does not include 330 objects once considered as possible planetary nebulae but which the authors have since rejected (listed in Table 3 of the publication). The designation system for the planetary nebulae listed in this catalog follows the recommendations of IAU Commission 5 (Astronomical Nomenclature) with the structure: "PN Glll.l+bb.b", where PN means "Planetary Nebula", G stands for "Galactic Coordinates", and lll.l+bb.b are the galactic longitude and latitude respectively, truncated to one decimal place. Copies of the complete catalog, including the Finding Charts (Part I) can be ordered from the ESO Information Service, Karl-Schwarzschildstr. 2, D-85748 Garching bei Muenchen, Germany. This database was created by the HEASARC in May 2001 based on <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/V/84">CDS Catalog V/84</a>, tables main.dat, diam.dat, dist.dat, dista.dat, hbeta.dat, iras.dat, nir.dat, radio.dat, vel.dat, cstar.dat, and pospn.dat.

Chandra Lockman Area North Survey (CLANS) X-Ray Source Catalog
This table contains the catalogs for the X-ray sources detected in the Chandra Lockman Area North Survey (CLANS). (The information on the optical and infrared counterparts to these sources is contained in the CLANSOID table.) The nine ACIS-I fields which constitute the CLANS cover a solid angle of ~0.6 deg<sup>2</sup> and reach fluxes of 7 x 10<sup>-16</sup> ergs cm<sup>-2</sup> s<sup>-1</sup> (0.5-2 keV) and 3.5 x 10<sup>-15</sup> ergs cm<sup>-2</sup> s<sup>-1</sup> (2-8 keV). The authors find a total of 761 X-ray point sources. The CLANS and CLASXS surveys bridge the gap between the ultra-deep pencil-beam surveys, such as the CDFs, and the shallower, very large-area surveys. As a result, they probe the X-ray sources that contribute the bulk of the 2-8 keV X-ray background and cover the flux range of the observed break in the log N-log S distribution. CLANS consists of nine separate 70 ks Chandra ACIS-I exposures centered at J2000.0 RA and Dec of (10 46,+59 01) (see Table 2 of the reference paper for the full observational details) which were combined to create an 0.6 deg<sup>2</sup> image containing 761 sources. The CLANS observations consist of a raster with an ~2 arcminute overlap between contiguous pointings. Following the prescription in Yang et al. (2004, AJ, 128, 1501) for the CLASXS field, the authors merged the nine individual pointing catalogs to create the final CLANS X-ray catalog. For sources with more than one detection in the nine fields, they used the detection from the observation in which the effective area of the source was the largest. This table was created by the HEASARC in December 2008 based on the electronic versions of Tables 4 and 5 from the paper which were obtained from the ApJ web site.
