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.

Abstract:
We present the second ROSAT all-sky survey source catalogue, hereafter
referred to as the 2RXS catalogue. This is the second publicly
released ROSAT catalogue of point-like sources obtained from the ROSAT
all-sky survey (RASS) observations performed with the
position-sensitive proportional counter (PSPC) between June 1990 and
August 1991, and is an extended and revised version of the bright and
faint source catalogues.
We used the latest version of the RASS processing to produce
overlapping X-ray images of 6.4 by 6.4 degrees sky regions. To create
a source catalogue, a likelihood-based detection algorithm was applied
to these, which accounts for the variable point-spread function (PSF)
across the PSPC field of view. Improvements in the background
determination compared to 1RXS were also implemented. X-ray control
images showing the source and background extraction regions were
generated, which were visually inspected. Simulations were performed
to assess the spurious source content of the 2RXS catalogue. X-ray
spectra and light curves were extracted for the 2RXS sources, with
spectral and variability parameters derived from these products. We
obtained about 135,000 X-ray detections in the 0.1-2.4keV energy band
down to a likelihood threshold of 6.5, as adopted in the 1RXS faint
source catalogue. Our simulations show that the expected spurious
content of the catalogue is a strong function of detection likelihood,
and the full catalogue is expected to contain about 30 per cent
spurious detections. A more conservative likelihood threshold of 9, on
the other hand, yields about 71,000 detections with a 5 per cent
spurious fraction.
We recommend thresholds appropriate to the scientific application.
X-ray images and overlaid X-ray contour lines provide an additional
user product to evaluate the detections visually, and we performed our
own visual inspections to flag uncertain detections. Intra-day
variability in the X-ray light curves was quantified based on the
normalised excess variance and a maximum amplitude variability
analysis. X-ray spectral fits were performed using three basic models,
a power law, a thermal plasma emission model, and black-body emission.
Thirty-two large extended regions with diffuse emission and embedded
point sources were identified and excluded from the present analysis.
The 2RXS catalogue provides the deepest and cleanest X-ray all-sky
survey catalogue in advance of eROSITA.
Description:
We have re-analysed the photon event files from the ROSAT all-sky
survey. The main goal was to create a catalogue of point-like sources,
which is referred to as the 2RXS source catalogue. We improved the
reliability of detections by an advanced detection algorithm and a
complete screening process. New data products were created to allow
timing and spectral analysis. Photon event files with corrected
astrometry and Moon rejection (RASS-3.1 processing) were made
available in FITS format. The 2RXS catalogue will serve as the basic
X-ray all-sky survey catalogue until eROSITA data become available.
