ROSAT XUV Pointed Phase Source Catalogue (Kreysing+ 1995)

Note : this is the description file of the original catalog.
This HTML page corresponds well to the original description, but some minor
changes in the format may have been introduced in the FITS output
files in order to allow for arithmetic operations on quantities
such as coordinates and times. h:m:s and d:m:s units are normally
converted into degrees, and YYYY-MM-DD into julian days.
Similarly, some slight changes may have been introduced in the
units; the value given in the HTML files supersedes the value indicated in the ReadMe
file for this catalogue.

Description:
We present a catalogue of XUV sources from observations by the Wide
Field Camera (WFC) on ROSAT during the pointed phase. The ROSAT WFC is
a telescope sensitive in the extreme UV range (17-210eV) which
observes in parallel with the ROSAT X-Ray Telescope (XRT). The 5916
pointed observations processed are from the calibration and
verification phase in June 1990 and from the period 9 Feb. 1991 to 15
July 1994. The catalogue contains 1022 independent source detections
which correspond to 328 individual sources, many of which have been
observed repeatedly. Each observation was done with one of four
filters S1, S2, P1 and P2. Of the 328 sources 113 are new sources
(they are not listed in the "2RE" catalogue) and 274 have been
identified with optical counterparts. The catalogue contains
coordinates, observed count rates, normalized source count rates and
the proposed optical counterpart with its spectral class.

Note (1): Two different S1 and S2 filters, S1A, S1B, S2A, and S2B, exist. Each
filter has a slightly different transmission profile. In most of
the observations the S1A and the S2B filter were used, the
exceptions are indicated.
Note (2): Count rates for sources with off-axis angles greater than 130' are
not reliable.
Note (3): The observed source count rate and its 1 sigma uncertainty
(vignetting corrections applied), as determined by the maximum
likelihood fit.
Note (4): Count rates and errors normalized to the detector efficiency at the
beginning of the verification phase.
Note (5): As found in the WFC Bright Source Catalogue (Pounds et al. 1993), or
from SIMBAD.
Note (6): The ROSAT Observation Request number can be used for retrieving
observations from the online in Tuebingen (Brunner and Kreysing 1993).

2: WD, non-cal, ser;

5: not WD, non-cal, target.
'WD' is White Dwarf, 'cal'/'non-cal' means the source was used/not
used for the in-flight calibration, 'target'/'ser' means the
source was the target of a planned observation or otherwise a
serendipitously detected one).
