Supplemental catalogs for "The Sloan Digital Sky Survey Reverberation Mapping Project: Sample Characterization"
<p>We have compiled additional properties for the SDSS-RM sample in several ancillary catalogs. Below are the notes on these supplemental catalogs. There are .readme files for each additional catalog. We also include the quality assurance plots for the global spectral fits.</p> <p><strong>QA-0000-56837.ps.gz </strong>The full set of 849 quality assessment plots for the global spectral fitting. Each plot includes a top panel showing the continuum (brown) and Fe II (blue) model components; the red line is the sum of the two. The cyan diamonds are pixels masked as absorption or bad pixels. The gray brackets near the top of the panel indicate the windows used for the continuum+Fe II fit. The bottom panels present the emission line fits for five line complexes.</p> <p><strong>allqso_sdssrm.fits</strong> A FITS table of all 1214 known quasars in the 7 square degree SDSS-RM field. Only 849 of them received a fiber in the SDSS-RM spectroscopy. This table lists the basic target information of these quasars.</p> <p><strong>QSObased_Expanded_SDSSRM_107.fits</strong> The narrow MgII/FeII absorber catalog for SDSS-RM quasars, following the methodology outlined in Zhu & Ménard (2013). Each entry corresponds to one quasar. The search for narrow absorbers includes systems that have absorber redshift close to the quasar systemic redshift (|dz|<0.04). MgII absorbers blueshifted from the quasar by dz>0.04 and also redward of CIV by dz>0.02 are of high purity. MgII absorbers with |dz|<0.04 or those at wavelength blueward of CIV, or those with FeII detection but no MgII detections (likely due to bad pixels), while included in this catalog, should be treated with caution, and may contain a small fraction of false positives (mainly CIV absorbers).</p> <p>For convenience, we also provide a version of the absorber catalog organized by absorbers (<strong>Expanded_SDSSRM_107.fits</strong>), i.e., each entry corresponds to one absorber system.</p> <p><strong>rmqso32_aegis_multi_lambda.fits</strong> Multi-wavelength data compiled from Nandra et al. (2015) or 32 SDSS-RM quasars in the AEGIS field.</p> <p><strong>spitzer_seip_rm_match_1.5arcsec.fits</strong> Spitzer IRAC and MIPS data from the Spitzer Enhanced Imaging Products (SEIP) source list for 176 SDSS-RM quasars, with a matching radius of 1.5 arcseconds. This file also compiles infrared fluxes (if available) from 2MASS (Skrutskie et al. 2006).</p> <p><strong>spec_2014_BALrobust.csv</strong> List of 95 BALQSOs (including mini-BALQSOs) identified from the first-year coadded spectroscopy. This file includes BAL flags on CIV, AlIII, MgII, and FeII/FeIII. It also includes notes on individual objects.</p> <p><strong>PS1_MD07_LC_sdssrm.fits</strong> PS1 Medium Deep light curves for the SDSS-RM quasars used to compute PS1_NMAG_OK and PS1_RMS_MAG in the main catalog. Note this is the unofficial release of the PS1 MD07 data, which was approved by the PS1 collaboration. These photometric light curves may differ slightly from the final official release of the PS1 Medium Deep field data. </p>
SPECTRAL PROPERTIES OF QUASARS FROM SLOAN DIGITAL SKY SURVEY DATA RELEASE 14: THE CATALOG
<p>We present measurements of the spectral properties for a total of 526,265 quasars, out of which 63% have continuum S/N> 3 pixel<sup>−1</sup>, selected from the fourteenth data release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS-DR14) quasar catalog. We performed a careful and homogeneous analysis of the SDSS spectra of these sources, to estimate the continuum and line properties of several emission lines such as Hα, Hβ, Hγ, Mg ii, C iii], C iv and Lyα. From the derived emission line parameters, we estimated single-epoch virial black hole masses (M<sub>BH</sub>) for the sample using Hβ, Mg ii, and C iv emission lines. The sample covers a wide range in bolometric luminosity (log L<sub>bol;</sub> erg s<sup>−1</sup> ) between 44.4 and 47.3 and log M<sub>BH</sub> between 7.1 and 9.9 M. Using the ratio of L<sub>bol</sub> to the Eddington luminosity as a measure of the accretion rate, the logarithm of the accretion rate is found to be in the range between −2.06 and 0.43. We performed several correlation analyses between different emission line parameters and found them to match with that known earlier using smaller samples. We noticed that strong Fe ii sources with large Balmer line width, and highly accreting sources with large M<sub>BH</sub> are rare in our sample. We make available an extended and complete catalog that contains various spectral properties of 526,265 quasars derived in this work along with other properties culled from the SDSS-DR14 quasar catalog.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Here, you will find the entire spectral catalog in the FITS forma</strong>t.</p> <ul> <li>The main catalog (“ <strong>dr14q_spec_prop.fits</strong>”) is based on the spectral information from this study consisting of 274 columns, which are described in Table B4.</li> <li>An extended catalog (“ <strong>dr14q_spec_prop_ext.fits</strong>”) where all the columns of DR14Q (Paris et al. 2018) are appended after the main catalog (ie, after column # 274).

The Sloan Digital Sky Survey Reverberation Mapping Project: the XMM-Newton X-ray source catalog and multi-band counterparts
<p>The XMM-RM project was designed to provide X-ray coverage of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Reverberation Mapping (SDSS-RM) field. 41 XMM-Newton exposures, placed surrounding the Chandra AEGIS field, were taken, covering an area of 6.13 deg2 and reaching a nominal exposure depth of ∼ 15 ks. We present an X-ray catalog of 3553 sources detected in these data, using a PSF-fitting algorithm and a sample selection threshold that produces a ∼ 5% fraction of spurious sources. The Bayesian method “NWAY” was employed to identify counterparts of the X-ray sources from the optical Legacy and the IR unWISE catalogs, using a 2-dimensional unWISE magnitude-color prior created from optical/IR counterparts of Chandra X-ray sources. 932 of the XMM-RM sources are covered by SDSS spectroscopic observations. 89% of them are classified as AGN, and 71% of these AGN are in the SDSS-RM quasar catalog. Among the SDSS-RM quasars, 80% are detectable at the depth of the XMM observations. Forced X-ray photometry is performed at the positions of the undetected SDSS-RM quasars.</p>
Sloan Digital Sky Survey NBC Quasar Candidate Catalog
The Nonparametric Bayes Classifier (NBC) Quasar Candidate Catalog is a catalog of 100,563 unresolved, UV-excess (UVX) quasar candidates with magnitudes to as faint as 21 in the g-band from 2099 square degrees of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Data Release One (DR1) imaging data. Existing spectra of 22,737 sources reveals that 22,191 (97.6%) are quasars; accounting for the magnitude dependence of this efficiency, the authors estimate that 95,502 (95.0%) of the objects in the catalog are quasars. Such a high efficiency is unprecedented in broadband surveys of quasars. This "proof-of-concept" sample is designed to be maximally efficient, but still has 94.7% completeness to unresolved, g ~< 19.5, UVX quasars from the DR1 quasar catalog. This efficient and complete selection is the result of the application of a probability density type analysis to training sets that describe the four-dimensional color distribution of stars and spectroscopically confirmed quasars in the SDSS. Specifically, the authors use a nonparametric Bayesian classification, based on kernel density estimation, to parametrize the color distribution of astronomical sources - allowing for fast and robust classification. They further supplement the catalog by providing photometric redshifts and matches to FIRST/VLA, ROSAT, and USNO-B sources. Much more information on the SDSS is available at the project's web site at <a href="http://www.sdss.org/">http://www.sdss.org/</a>.

Sloan Digital Sky Survey (DR5)/XMM-Newton Quasar Survey Catalog
This table contains the 5th Data Release Sloan Digital Sky Survey (DR5 SDSS)/XMM-Newton Quasar Survey Catalog. This catalog contains 792 SDSS DR5 quasars with optical spectra that have been observed serendipitously in the X-rays with XMM-Newton. These quasars cover a redshift range of z = 0.11 - 5.41 and a magnitude range of i = 15.3 - 20.7. Substantial numbers of radio-loud (70) and broad absorption line (51) quasars exist within this sample. Significant X-ray detections at >=2 sigma account for 87% of the sample (685 quasars), and 473 quasars are detected at >=6 sigma, sufficient to allow X-ray spectral fits. For detected sources, ~60% have X-ray fluxes between F(2-10 keV) = (1-10) x 10<sup>-14</sup> erg cm<sup>-2</sup> s<sup>-1</sup>. The authors fit a single power law, a fixed power law with intrinsic absorption left free to vary, and an absorbed power-law model to all quasars with X-ray signal-to-noise ratio >= 6, resulting in a weighted mean photon index Gamma = 1.91 +/- 0.08, with an intrinsic dispersion sigma(Gamma) = 0.38. For the 55 sources (11.6%) that prefer intrinsic absorption, the authors find a weighted mean N<sub>H</sub> = 1.5 +/- 0.3 x 10<sup>21</sup> cm<sup>-2</sup>. They find that Gamma correlates significantly with optical color, Delta(g-i), the optical-to-X-ray spectral index (alpha<sub>ox</sub>), and the X-ray luminosity. While the first two correlations can be explained as artifacts of undetected intrinsic absorption, the correlation between Gamma and X-ray luminosity appears to be a real physical correlation, indicating a pivot in the X-ray slope. This table was created by the HEASARC in July 2009 based on electronic versions of Tables 1 and 2 from the paper which were obtained from the Astrophysical Journal web site.

Sloan Digital Sky Survey Unusual Quasars Catalog
Large spectroscopic surveys have discovered very peculiar and hitherto unknown types of active galactic nuclei (AGN). Such rare objects may hold clues to the accretion history of the supermassive black holes at the centres of galaxies. The authors aim to create a sizeable sample of unusual quasars from the unprecedented spectroscopic database of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). This table contains a catalog of 1005 quasars with unusual spectra in the redshift interval from 0.6 to 4.3. [HEASARC Note: the redshifts in this table actually range from 0.497 to 4.771]. The quasars were selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 7 (Abazajian et al., 2009, ApJS, 182, 543) by means of Kohonen self-organising maps. The spectra are dominated by either broad absorption lines (42%), unusual red continua (27%), weak emission lines (18%), or conspicuously strong optical and/or UV iron emission (11%). This large sample provides a useful resource for both studying properties and relations of/between different types of unusual quasars and selecting particularly interesting objects, even though the compilation is not aimed at completeness in a quantifiable sense. The spectra are grouped into seven types. The catalogue contains the redshift, the absolute magnitude, the spectral type, the radio loudness parameter, a peculiarity index, and some comments on peculiar spectral features. This table was created by the HEASARC in May 2012 based on CDS table J/A+A/541/A77 file table3.dat. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .
Sloan Digital Sky Survey DR6 Galaxy Clusters Catalog
Clusters of galaxies in most of the previous catalogs have redshifts z <= 0.3. Using the photometric redshifts of galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 6 (SDSS DR6), the authors identify 39,716 clusters in the redshift range 0.05 < z < 0.6 with more than eight luminous (M_r <= -21) member galaxies. Cluster redshifts are estimated accurately with an uncertainty of less than 0.022. The contamination rate of member galaxies is found to be roughly 20%, and the completeness of member galaxy detection reaches ~90%. Monte Carlo simulations show that the cluster detection rate is more than 90% for massive (M_200 > 2 x 10<sup>14</sup> M_sun, where M_200 is the total mass within the radius in which the mean mass density is 200 times the critical cosmic mass density) clusters of z <= 0.42. The false detection rate is ~5%. The authors obtain the richness, the summed luminosity, and the gross galaxy number within the determined radius for identified clusters. They are tightly related to the X-ray luminosity and temperature of the clusters. Cluster mass is related to the richness and summed luminosity with M_200 ~ R<sup>(1.90+/-0.04)</sup> and M_200 ~ L_r<sup>(1.64+/-0.03)</sup>, respectively. In addition, 790 new candidate X-ray clusters are found by cross-identification of these clusters with the source list of the ROSAT X-ray All-Sky Survey. This table was created by the HEASARC in August 2009 based on electronic versions of Tables 1 and 2 from the paper which were obtained from the Astrophysical Journal web site.

Sloan Digital Sky Survey Quasar Catalog (Twelfth Data Release: DR12Q)
This table contains the Data Release 12 Quasar Catalog (DR12Q) from the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey III (SDSS-III). This catalog includes all SDSS-III/BOSS objects that were spectroscopically targeted as quasar candidates during the full survey and that are confirmed as quasars via visual inspection of the spectra, have luminosities M_i_[z=2] < -20.5 (in a LambdaCDM cosmology with H<sub>0</sub> = 70 km/s/Mpc, Omega<sub>M</sub> = 0.3, and Omega<sub>Lambda</sub> = 0.7), and either display at least one emission line with a full width at half maximum (FWHM) larger than 500 km/s or, if not, have interesting/complex absorption features. The catalog also includes previously known quasars (mostly from SDSS-I and II) that were re-observed by BOSS. The catalog contains 297,301 quasars (272,026 are new discoveries since the beginning of SDSS-III) detected over 9376 deg<sup>2</sup> with robust identification and redshift measured by a combination of principal component eigenspectra. The number of quasars with z > 2.15 (184,101, of which 167,742 are new discoveries) is about an order of magnitude greater than the number of z > 2.15 quasars known prior to BOSS. Redshifts and FWHMs are provided for the strongest emission lines (C IV, C III], Mg II). The catalog identifies 29,580 broad absorption line quasars and their characteristics are listed in the file dr12qbal.dat that is available at the CDS (<a href="http://cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr/ftp/cats/VII/279/">http://cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr/ftp/cats/VII/279/</a>). For each object, the catalog presents five-band (u, g, r, i, z) CCD-based photometry with typical accuracy of 0.03 mag together with some information on the optical morphology and the selection criteria. When available, the catalog also provides information on the optical variability of quasars using SDSS and Palomar Transient Factory multi-epoch photometry. The catalog also contains X-ray, ultraviolet, near-infrared, and radio emission properties of the quasars, when available, from other large-area surveys. The calibrated digital spectra, covering the wavelength region 3600-10,500 Angstrom at a spectral resolution in the range 1300 < R < 2500, can be retrieved from the SDSS Catalog Archive Server at <a href="http://www.sdss.org/dr12/data_access/">http://www.sdss.org/dr12/data_access/</a>. In their paper, the authors also provide a supplemental list of an additional 4,841 quasars that have been identified serendipitously outside of the superset defined to derive the main quasar catalog, available as the file dr12qsp.dat that is available at the CDS (<a href="http://cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr/ftp/cats/VII/279/">http://cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr/ftp/cats/VII/279/</a>). This table contains the final quasar catalog of the SDSS-III/BOSS survey resulting from five years of observations. The catalog, which the authors call "DR12Q", contains 297,301 quasars, 184,101 of which have z > 2.15. the authors provide robust identification from visual inspection and refined redshift measurements based on the result of a principal component analysis of the spectra. The present catalog contains about 80% more quasars than their previous release (Paris et al., 2014, "DR10Q", <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/VII/270">CDS Cat. VII/270</a>). In SDSS-III, all fluxes in the 5 SDSS bands (u, g, r, i and z) are expressed in terms of "nanomaggies" (nMgy), which are a convenient linear unit. These quantities are related to standard AB magnitudes thus: an object with a flux F given in nMgy has a Pogson magnitude (on the AB scale) m = [22.5 mag] - 2.5*log<sub>10</sub>(F). A flux of 1 Mgy is therefore close to 3631 Jy, and 1 nMgy = ~3.631 uJy (µJy). This table was updated to DR12Q in July 2017 based on <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/VII/279">CDS Catalog VII/279</a> file dr12q.dat. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .
Sloan Digital Sky Survey Stripe 82 Chandra Source Match Catalog
This table contains some of the data from the latest release of the Stripe 82 X-ray (82X) survey point-source catalog, which currently covers 31.3 deg<sup>2</sup> of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Stripe 82 Legacy field. In total, 6,181 unique X-ray sources are significantly detected with XMM-Newton (> 5 sigma) and Chandra (> 4.5 sigma). This 31 deg<sup>2</sup> catalog release includes data from XMM-Newton cycle AO 13, which approximately doubled the Stripe 82X survey area. The flux limits of the Stripe 82X survey are 8.7 x 10<sup>-16</sup> erg s<sup>-1</sup> cm<sup>-2</sup>, 4.7 x 10<sup>-15</sup> erg s<sup>-1</sup> cm<sup>-2</sup>, and 2.1 x 10<sup>-15</sup> erg s<sup>-1</sup> cm^=2^ in the soft (0.5 - 2.0 keV), hard (2 - 10 keV), and full (0.5 - 10 keV) bands, respectively, with approximate half-area survey flux limits of 5.4 x 10<sup>-15</sup> erg s<sup>-1</sup> cm<sup>-2</sup>, 2.9 x 10<sup>-14</sup> erg s<sup>-1</sup> cm<sup>-2</sup>, and 1.7 x 10<sup>-14</sup> erg s<sup>-1</sup> cm<sup>-2</sup>, respectively. The authors matched the X-ray source lists to available multi-wavelength catalogs, including updated matches to the previous release of the Stripe 82X survey; 88% of the sample is matched to a multi-wavelength counterpart. Due to the wide area of Stripe 82X and rich ancillary multi-wavelength data, including coadded SDSS photometry, mid-infrared WISE coverage, near-infrared coverage from UKIDSS and VISTA Hemisphere Survey (VHS), ultraviolet coverage from GALEX, radio coverage from FIRST, and far-infrared coverage from Herschel, as well as existing ~30% optical spectroscopic completeness, this study is beginning to uncover rare objects, such as obscured high-luminosity active galactic nuclei at high redshift. The Stripe 82X point source catalog is a valuable data set for constraining how this population grows and evolves, as well as for studying how they interact with the galaxies in which they live. The authors derive the XMM-Newton number counts distribution and compare it with their previously reported Chandra log N - log S relations and other X-ray surveys. Throughout this study, the authors adopt a cosmology of H<sub>0</sub> = 70 km s<sup>-1</sup> Mpc<sup>-1</sup>, Omega<sub>M</sub> = 0.27, and Lambda = 0.73. The XMM-Newton and Chandra X-ray sources were matched with sources in the SDSS, WISE, UKIDSS, VHS, GALEX, FIRST and Herschel databases using the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) method, as discussed in detail in Section 4 of the reference paper. This table contains the list of 1,146 Chandra sources detected in the SDSS Stripe 82. A related table SDSSS82XMM contains the list of 5,220 XMM-Newton sources detected in the SDSS Stripe 82. This table was initially created by the HEASARC in April 2014 based on the machine-readable version of the table ('Properties of SDSS Quasars Detected by Chandra') described in Appendix B1 of the reference paper (LaMassa et al. 2013, MNRAS, 436, 3581) which was obtained from the CDS (their catalog J/MNRAS/436/3581/ file chands82.dat).

Sloan Digital Sky Survey DR7 White Dwarf Catalog
This table contains a new catalog of spectroscopically confirmed white dwarf stars from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Data Release 7 (DR7) spectroscopic catalog. The authors find 20,407 white dwarf spectra, representing 19,712 stars, and provide atmospheric model fits to 14,120 DA and 1011 DB white dwarf spectra from 12,843 and 923 stars, respectively. These numbers represent more than a factor of two increase in the total number of white dwarf stars from the previous SDSS white dwarf catalogs based on DR4 data. The distribution of subtypes varies from previous catalogs due to the authors' more conservative, manual classifications of each star in our catalog, supplementing their automatic fits. In particular, they find a large number of magnetic white dwarf stars whose small Zeeman splittings mimic increased Stark broadening that would otherwise result in an overestimated log g if fit as a non-magnetic white dwarf. The authors calculate mean DA and DB masses for their clean, non-magnetic sample and find the DB mean mass is statistically larger than that for the DAs. This table lists the 20,407 white dwarf spectra corresponding to 19,712 distinct stars. This table was created by the HEASARC in January 2013 based on the electronic version of Table 2 from the reference paper which was obtained from the ApJS web site.

A related table SDSSS82CXO contains the list of 1,146 Chandra sources detected in the SDSS Stripe 82. Compared to the initial version of this catalog based on the 2013 paper, in the current version of the catalog the MLE matching between the XMM-Newton archival and AO10 source lists and ancillary catalogs was updated to include a 1 arcsecond systematic error added in quadrature to the emldetect reported positional error. This table was initially created by the HEASARC in April 2014 based on the machine-readable version of the table ('Properties of SDSS Quasars Detected by XMM-Newton') described in Appendix B2 of the reference paper (LaMassa et al. 2013, MNRAS, 436, 3581) which was obtained from the CDS (catalog J/MNRAS/436/3581/, file xmms82.dat).

Sloan Digital Sky Survey DR10 New White Dwarf Catalog
The authors report the discovery of 9,088 new spectroscopically confirmed white dwarfs and subdwarfs in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Data Release 10 (DR10). They obtain T<sub>eff</sub>, log g and masses for hydrogen-atmosphere white dwarf stars (DAs) and helium-atmosphere white dwarf stars (DBs), and estimate the calcium/helium abundances for the white dwarf stars with metallic lines (DZs) and carbon/helium for carbon-dominated spectra (DQs). They found 1 central star of a planetary nebula, 2 new oxygen spectra on helium-atmosphere white dwarfs, 71 DQs, 42 hot DO/PG1159s, 171 white dwarf+main-sequence star binaries, 206 magnetic DAHs, 327 continuum-dominated DCs, 397 metal-polluted white dwarfs, 450 helium-dominated white dwarfs, 647 subdwarfs and 6887 new hydrogen-dominated white dwarf stars. The targeted white dwarfs were required to be point sources with clean photometry, and to have USNO-B Catalog counterparts (Monet et al.. 2003, AJ, 125, 984, <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/I/284">CDS Cat. I/284</a>). They were also restricted to regions inside the DR7 imaging footprint and required to have colors within the ranges g < 19.2, (u-r) < 0.4, -1 < (u-g) < 0.3, -1 < (g-r) < 0.5 and to have low Galactic extinction A<sub>r</sub> < 0.5 mag. Additionally, targets that did not have (u-r) < -0.1 and (g-r) < -0.1 were required to have USNO proper motions larger than 2 arcseconds per century (20 milliarcseconds per year). Objects satisfying the selection criteria that had not been observed previously by the SDSS were denoted by the WHITEDWARF_NEW target flag, while those with prior SDSS spectra are assigned the WHITEDWARF_SDSS flag. Some of the latter were re-observed with BOSS in order to obtain the extended wavelength coverage that the BOSS spectrograph offers. The color selection used includes DA stars with temperatures above ~14,000 K, helium-atmosphere white dwarfs above ~8000 K, as well as many rarer classes of white dwarfs. Hot subdwarfs (sdB and sdO) were targeted as well. Note that this catalog does not include stars from the earlier SDSS white dwarf catalogs, e.g., Eisenstein et al. (2006, ApJS, 167, 40, available in the HEASARC database as the SDSSDWDSD table), Kleinman et al. (2013, ApJS, 205, 5, available in the HEASARC database as the SDSSDR7WD table)..

Sloan Digital Sky Survey Broad Absorption Line Quasars Catalog: 3rd Data Release
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Broad Absorption Line (BAL) Quasars Catalog (based on the 3rd SDSS Data Release) contains a total of 4784 unique BAL quasars from the SDSS DR3 (<a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/VII/243">CDS Cat. <VII/243></a>). An automated algorithm was used to match a continuum to each quasar and to identify regions of flux at least 10% below the continuum over a velocity range of at least 1000 km/s in the C IV and Mg II absorption regions. The model continuum was selected as the best-fit match from a set of template quasar spectra binned in luminosity, emission line width, and redshift z, with the power-law spectral index and amount of dust reddening as additional free parameters. The authors characterize their sample through the traditional 'balnicity' index BI and a revised absorption index AI, as well as through parameters such as the width, outflow velocity, fractional depth, and number of troughs. From a sample of 16,883 quasars at 1.7 <= z <= 4.38, they identify 4386 (26.0%) quasars with broad C IV absorption, of which 1756 (10.4%) satisfy traditional selection criteria. From a sample of 34,973 quasars at 0.5 <= z <= 2.15, they identify 457 (1.31%) quasars with broad Mg II absorption, 191 (0.55%) of which satisfy traditional selection criteria. They find that BAL quasars may have broader emission lines on average than other quasars.

Sloan Digital Sky Survey I/II Cataclysmic Variables Catalog
The reference paper completed the series of cataclysmic variables (CVs) identified from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) I and II. The coordinates, magnitudes, and SDSS spectra of 33 more CVs were presented. Among the 33 are eight systems known prior to SDSS (CT Ser, DO Leo, HK Leo, IR Com, V849 Her, V405 Peg, PG1230+226, and HS0943+1404), as well as nine objects recently found through various photometric surveys. Among the systems identified since the SDSS are two polar candidates, two intermediate polar candidates, and one candidate for containing a pulsating white dwarf. A complete summary table of the 285 CVs with spectra from SDSS I/II which were listed in the reference paper and the 7 previous papers in the series is contained herein. This table was created by the HEASARC in January 2012 based on an electronic version of Table 6 from the reference paper which was obtained from the AJ web site.

Sloan Digital Sky Survey/XMM-Newton AGN Spectral Properties Catalog
Bright XMM-Newton data are combined with the Chandra Deep Field South observations to explore the behavior of the intrinsic AGN absorption, as a function of redshift and luminosity. The sample consists of 359 sources selected in the hard 2 - 8 keV band, spanning the flux range from 6 x 10<sup>-16</sup> - 3 x 10<sup>-13</sup> erg/cm<sup>2</sup>/s with a high rate of spectroscopic or photometric redshift completeness (100 and 85 percent for the Chandra and XMM-Newton data, respectively). The authors derive the column density values using X-ray spectral fits. They find that the fraction of obscured AGN falls with increasing luminosity in agreement with previous findings. The fraction of obscured AGN shows an apparent increase at high redshifts (z > 2). Simulations show that this effect can most probably be attributed to the fact that at high redshifts the column densities are overestimated. This table contains the subset of 153 brighter hard X-ray sources in the XMM-Newton/Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) sample which have 2-8 keV fluxes > 3 x 10<sup>-14</sup> erg cm<sup>-2</sup> s<sup>-1</sup>, excluding a number of sources with extended optical morphology and blue colors, as well as 4 sources with X-ray to optical fluxes < 0.1 which are fit better with stellar rather than QSO templates.

Sloan Digital Sky Survey/XMM-Newton Type1 AGN X-Ray and Radio Properties Catalog
X-ray emission from active galactic nuclei (AGN) is dominated by the accretion disk around a supermassive black hole. The radio luminosity, however, has not such a clear origin except in the most powerful sources where jets are evident. The origin (and even the very existence) of the local bi-modal distribution in radio-loudness is also a debated issue. By analyzing X-ray, optical and radio properties of a large sample of type 1 AGN and quasars (QSOs) up to z > 2, where the bulk of this population resides, the authors aim to explore the interplay between radio and X-ray emission in AGN, in order to further our knowledge on the origin of radio emission, and its relation to accretion. They analyze a large (~800 sources) sample of type 1 AGN and QSOs selected from the 2XMMi XMM-Newton X-ray source catalog, cross-correlated with the SDSS DR7 spectroscopic catalog, covering a redshift range from z ~ 0.3 to z ~ 2.3. Supermassive black hole masses are estimated from the Mg II emission line, bolometric luminosities from the X-ray data, and radio emission or upper limits from the FIRST catalog. Most of the sources accrete close to the Eddington limit and the distribution in radio-loudness does not appear to have a bi-modal behavior. This study confirms that radio-loud AGN are also X-ray loud, with an X-ray-to-optical ratio up to twice that of radio-quiet objects, even excluding the most extreme strongly jetted sources. By analyzing complementary radio-selected control samples, the authors find evidence that these conclusions are not an effect of the X-ray selection, but are likely a property of the dominant QSO population. The authors of this catalog conclude that their findings are best interpreted in a context where radio emission in AGN, with the exception of a minority of beamed sources, arises from very close to the accretion disk and is therefore heavily linked to X-ray emission. They also speculate that the radio-loud/radio-quiet dichotomy might either be an evolutionary effect that developed well after the QSO peak epoch, or an effect of incompleteness in small samples. Basic information and derived properties are presented for the sample of X-ray selected type 1 AGN (as well as for the 11 X-ray undetected type 1 AGN in the "control sample"): coordinates, redshift, X-ray and radio fluxes, optical magnitudes, from the SDSS, 2XMMi, and FIRST catalogs; continuum luminosities at 3000 Angstroms and in the X-ray band, black hole masses, bolometric luminosities, Eddington ratios; for the sources falling in the FIRST field, optical fluxes at 2500 and 4400 Angstroms, X-ray-to-optical index, radio classification, and the ratios between the radio and the UV, optical, and X-ray fluxes. This table was created by the HEASARC in October 2012 based on <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/A+A/545/A66">CDS Catalog J/A+A/545/A66</a> files table3.dat, table4.dat and table5.dat.

Sloan Digital Sky Survey/UKIRT DSS Large Area Survey Matched Quasars Catalog
This table contains a catalog of over 130,000 quasar candidates with near-infrared (NIR) photometric properties, with an areal coverage of approximately 1200 deg<sup>2</sup>. This is achieved by matching the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) in the optical ugriz bands to the UKIRT Infrared Digital Sky Survey (UKIDSS) Large Area Survey (LAS) in the NIR YJHK bands. The authors match the ~1 million SDSS DR6 Photometric Quasar catalog to Data Release 3 of the UKIDSS LAS (ULAS) and produce a catalog with 130,827 objects with detections in one or more NIR bands, of which 74,351 objects have optical and K-band detections and 42,133 objects have the full nine-band photometry. The majority (~85%) of the SDSS objects were not matched simply because these were not covered by the ULAS. The positional standard deviation of the SDSS Quasar to ULAS matches is 0.1370 arcseconds in RA and 0.1314 arcseconds in Dec. The authors find an absolute systematic astrometric offset between the SDSS Quasar catalog and the UKIDSS LAS, of |RA offset| = 0.025 arcseconds and |Dec offset| = 0.040 arcseconds; they suggest the nature of this offset to be due to the matching of catalog, rather than image, level data. Their matched catalog has a surface density of ~53 deg<sup>-2</sup> for K <= 18.27 objects; tests using this matched catalog, along with data from the UKIDSS Deep Extragalactic Survey, imply that its limiting magnitude is i ~ 20.6. Color-redshift diagrams, for the optical and NIR, show a close agreement between this matched catalog and recent quasar color models at redshift z <~ 2.0, while at higher redshifts, the models generally appear to be bluer than the mean observed quasar colors.
