- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- The authors studied the X-ray properties of the young (~1-8M yr) open cluster around the hot (O8 III) star Lambda Ori and compared them with those of the similarly-aged Sigma Ori cluster in order to investigate the possible effects of the different ambient environments. They analyzed an XMM-Newton observation of the cluster using EPIC imaging and low-resolution spectral data. They studied the variability of the detected sources, and performed a spectral analysis of the brightest sources in the field using multi-temperature models. The authors detected 167 X-ray sources above a 5-sigma detection threshold the properties of which are listed in this table, of which 58 are identified with known cluster members and candidates, from massive stars down to low-mass stars with spectral types of ~ M5.5. Another 23 sources were identified with new possible photometric candidates. Late-type stars have a median log L<sub>X</sub>/L<sub>bol</sub> ~ -3.3, close to the saturation limit. Variability was observed in ~ 35% of late-type members or candidates, including six flaring sources. The emission from the central hot star Lambda Ori is dominated by plasma at 0.2 - 0.3 keV, with a weaker component at 0.7 keV, consistent with a wind origin. The coronae of late-type stars can be described by two plasma components with temperatures T<sub>1</sub> ~ 0.3-0.8 keV and T<sub>2</sub> ~ 0.8-3 keV, and subsolar abundances Z ~ 0.1-0.3 Z<sub>sun</sub>, similar to what is found in other star-forming regions and associations. No significant difference was observed between stars with and without circumstellar discs, although the smallness of the sample of stars with discs and accretion does not definitive conclusions to be drawn. The authors concluded that the X-ray properties of Lambda Ori late-type stars are comparable to those of the coeval Sigma Ori cluster, suggesting that stellar activity in Lambda Ori has not been significantly affected by the different ambient environment. The lambda Ori cluster was observed by XMM-Newton from 20:46 UT on September 28, 2006 to 12:23 UT on September 29, 2006 (Obs. ID 0402050101), for a total duration of 56ks, using both the EPIC MOS and PN cameras and the RGS instruments. The EPIC cameras were operated in full frame mode with the thick filter.

- Large Magellanic Cloud Extended Objects Catalog
- Short Name:
- LMCEXTOBJ
- Date:
- 18 Apr 2025
- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- A survey of extended objects in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) was carried out on the ESO/SERC R and J Sky Survey Atlases, checking entries in previous catalogs and searching for new objects. The census provided 6659 objects including star clusters, emission-free associations, and objects related to emission nebulae. Each of these classes contains three subclasses with intermediate properties, which are used to infer total populations. The survey includes cross-identifications among catalogs, and includes 3246 new objects (~49% of the unified catalog). The authors have provided accurate positions, classification, and homogeneous measurements of sizes and position angles, as well as information on cluster pairs and hierarchical relation for superimposed objects. This unification and enlargement of catalogs is important for future searches of fainter and smaller new objects. The present catalog together with its previous counterpart for the SMC and the inter-Cloud region provide a total population of 7847 extended objects in the Magellanic System. The angular distribution of the ensemble reveals important clues on the interaction between the LMC and SMC. This table was created by the HEASARC in March 2007 based on the CDS table J/AJ/117/238, file table2.dat and contains the 6659 extended objects found in this LMC survey.

- Large Quasar Astrometric Catalog, 3rd Release
- Short Name:
- LQAC
- Date:
- 18 Apr 2025
- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- Since the release of the original Large Quasar Astrometric Catalog (LQAC: Souchay et al. 2009, A&A, 494, 815), a large number of quasars have been discovered through very dense observational surveys. Following the same procedure as in the first release of the LQAC, the authors aim is to compile all the quasars recorded up until the present date, with the best determination of their ICRS equatorial coordinates, i.e., with respect to the newly established ICRF2 (the second realization of the International Celestial Reference Frame) and with the maximum of information concerning their physical properties, e.g., redshifts, photometry, absolute magnitudes. In the second paper, the authors first of all made a substantial review of the definitions and properties of quasars and AGN (Active Galactic Nuclei), the differentiation of these objects being unclear in the literature and even for specialists. This served their purpose when deciding which kinds of objects would be taken into account in this compilation. Then, they carried out the cross-identification between the 9 catalogs of quasars chosen for their accuracy and their huge number of objects, using a flag for each of them, and including all the available data related to magnitudes (infrared and optical), radio fluxes and redshifts. They also performed cross identification with external catalogs 2MASS, B1.0 and GSC2.3 in order to complete photometric data for the objects. Moreover, they computed the absolute magnitude of their extragalactic objects by taking into account recent studies concerning Galactic absorption. In addition, substantial improvements were brought with respect to the first release of the LQAC. First, an LQAC name was given for each object based on its equatorial coordinates with respect to the ICRS, following a procedure which creates no ambiguity for identification. Secondly, the equatorial coordinates of the objects were recomputed more accurately according to the algorithms used for the elaboration of the Large Quasar Reference Frame (LQRF) (Andrei et al., 2009, <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/I/313">CDS Cat. I/313</a>). Thirdly, the authors introduced a morphological classification for the objects which enabled them in particular to define clearly if the object is point-like or extended. The authors adopted a cosmology with H<sub>0</sub> = 70 km s<sup>-1</sup> Mpc<sup>-1</sup>, Omega<sub>M</sub> = 0.3, Omega<sub>Lambda</sub> = 0.7, and q<sub>0</sub> = -0.65 in LQAC-3 (which is slightly different from that adopted for LQAC-2, notice). The final catalog, called LQAC-2, contained 187,504 quasars. This was roughly 65% larger than the 113,666 quasars recorded in the first version of the LQAC (Souchay et al. 2009, <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/A+A/494/799">CDS Cat. J/A+A/494/799</a>) and a little more than the number of quasars recorded in the up-dated version of the Veron-Cetty and Veron (2010, <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/VII/258">CDS Cat. VII/258</a>, HEASARC VERONCAT table) catalog, which was the densest compilation of quasars up to the present one. In addition to the quantitative and qualitative improvements implemented in this compilation, the authors discussed the homogeneity of the data and carried out a statistical analysis concerning the spatial density and the distance to the nearest neighbor in their published paper. The authors adopted a cosmology with H<sub>0</sub> = 72 km s<sup>-1</sup> Mpc<sup>-1</sup> and q<sub>0</sub> = -0.58 in this study. From an astrometric point of view, quasars constitute quasi-ideal reference objects in the celestial sphere, with an a priori absence of proper motion. Since the second release of the LQAC, a large number of quasars have been discovered, in particular with the upcoming new release of the SDSS quasars catalog. Following the same procedure as in the two previous releases of the LQAC, The authors' aim for LQAC-3 was to compile all the quasars recorded until the present date, with accurate recomputation of their equatorial coordinates in the ICRS and with the maximum of information concerning their physical properties, such as the redshift, the photometry, and the absolute magnitudes. The authors carried out the cross-identification between the 9 catalogs of quasars chosen for their huge number of objects, including all the available data related to magnitudes, radio fluxes, and redshifts. This cross identification was particularly delicate because of a slight change in coordinates between the objects common to two successive releases of the SDSS and the elimination of some of them. Equatorial coordinates were recomputed more accurately according to the algorithms used for the elaboration of the Large Quasar Reference Frame (LQRF). Moreover, absolute magnitudes and morphological indexes of the new objects were given, following the same method as in the LQAC-2. The final catalog, called LQAC-3, contains 321,957 objects including a small proportion of AGNs (14,128) and BL Lac objects (1,183). This is roughly 70% more than the number of objects recorded in the LQAC-2. The LQAC-3 will be useful for the astronomical community since it gives the most complete information available about the whole set of already recorded quasars, with emphasis on the precision and accuracy of their coordinates with respect to the ICRF2.

- Title:
- Las Campanas Redshift Survey Catalog
- Short Name:
- LCRSCAT
- Date:
- 18 Apr 2025
- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- The Las Campanas Redshift Survey (LCRS) consists of 26,418 redshifts of galaxies selected from a CCD-based catalog obtained in the R band. The survey covers over 700 deg<sup>2</sup> in six strips, each 1.5 x 80 degrees, three each in the north and south Galactic caps. The median redshift in the survey is about 30,000 km s<sup>-1</sup>. Essential features of the galaxy selection and redshift measurement methods are described and tabulated in the reference paper. These details are important for subsequent analysis of the LCRS data. Two-dimensional representations of the redshift distributions reveal many repetitions of voids, on the scale of about 5000 km s<sup>-1</sup>, sharply bounded by large walls of galaxies as seen in nearby surveys. Statistical investigations of the mean galaxy properties and of clustering on the large scale are reported elsewhere. These include studies of the luminosity function, power spectrum in two and three dimensions, correlation function, pairwise velocity distribution, identification of large-scale structures, and a group catalog. This table contains entries for 94959 objects from the LCRS for which photometric data were obtained and which were initially classified as galaxies on the basis of this photometric information, although subsequent spectroscopy indicated that a small fracton of them are actually stars. There are 27021 objects out of this total which have spectroscopic redshift information (either of themselves or of a nearby object). See also the LCRS home pages at: <a href="http://qold.astro.utoronto.ca/~lin/lcrs.html">http://qold.astro.utoronto.ca/~lin/lcrs.html</a>. This table was created by the HEASARC in May 2010 based on the electronic version of Table 3 from the above reference which was obtained from the <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/VII/203">CDS Catalog VII/203</a> file catalog.dat.

- LkH-alpha 101 Star Formation Region Chandra X-Ray Point Source Catalog
- Short Name:
- LKHA101CXO
- Date:
- 18 Apr 2025
- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- This table contains some of the results from a multi-wavelength study of a partially embedded region of star formation centered on the Herbig Be star LkH-alpha 101. Using two 40 ks Chandra observations, The authors have detected 213 X-ray sources in the ~ 17' x 17' ACIS-I field. They combine the X-ray data with Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS) near-IR observations and Spitzer Space Telescope (SST) IRAC and MIPS 24-micron observations to obtain a complete picture of the cluster. A total of 158 of the X-ray sources have infrared counterparts. Of these, the authors find nine protostars, 48 Class II objects, five transition objects, and 72 Class III objects. From the Spitzer data, they identify an additional 10 protostars, 53 Class II objects, and four transition disk candidates which are not detected by Chandra. (These objects are not included in this HEASARC table which contains the multi-wavelength data for only the 213 detected X-ray sources). The authors obtained optical spectra of a sample of both X-ray-detected and non-X-ray-detected objects. Combining the X-ray, Spitzer, and spectral data, they obtain independent estimates of cluster distance and the total cluster size - excluding protostars. The authors obtain consistent distance estimates of 510 (+100,-40) pc and a total cluster size of 255 (+50,-25) stars. They find the Class II:III ratio is about 5:7 with some evidence that the Class III sources are spatially more dispersed. The cluster appears very young with three sites of active star formation and a median age of about 1 Myr. The field was observed by Chandra on 2005 March 6 starting at 17:16 UT for 40.2 ks of total time and 39.6 ks of the so-called good time (Chandra ObsID 5429). It was observed again on 2005 March 8 starting at 17:43 UT for essentially the same duration (Chandra ObsID 5428). The ACIS was used in the nominal imaging array (chips I0-I3) which provides a field of view of approximately 17' x 17'. The aimpoint was at RA, Dec = 04:30:14.4, +35:16:22.2 (J2000.0) with a roll angle of 281 degrees. In addition, the S2 and S3 chips were active; however, the analysis of these data is not presented here. For purposes of point-source detection, the data from the two observations were merged into a single event list following established CIAO procedures to create a merged event list. To identify point sources, photons with energies below 300 eV and above 8.0 keV were filtered out from this merged event list. This excluded energies which generally lack a stellar contribution. By filtering the data as described, contributions from hard, non-stellar sources such as X-ray binaries and active galactic nuclei (AGNs) are attenuated, as is noise. A monochromatic exposure map was generated in the standard way using an energy of 1.49 keV which is a reasonable match to the expected peak energy of the stellar sources and the Chandra mirror transmission. The CIAO tool WavDetect was then run on a series of flux-corrected images binned by 1, 2, and 4 pixels. The output source lists were combined and this resulted in the detection of 231 sources. The authors defined false detections as any sources with < 4 net counts or any sources more than 5' off-axis with < 7 net counts. By this definition, 18 of the 231 detections were rejected as false detections. A post facto check confirmed that none of these (spurious) sources had an infrared counterpart. This table was created by the HEASARC in July 2010 based on the versions of Tables 1, 2, 3, 7 and 9 from the paper which were obtained from the electronic ApJ web site.

- LMC 30 Doradus Complex Chandra X-Ray Point Source Catalog
- Short Name:
- LMC30DRCXO
- Date:

- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- 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.

- LMC N11 Giant HII Region Chandra X-Ray Point Source Catalog
- Short Name:
- LMCN11CXO
- Date:
- 18 Apr 2025
- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- A very sensitive X-ray investigation of the giant H II region N11 in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) was performed using the Chandra X-ray Observatory in which 165 point sources were detected. The 300-ks observation reveals X-ray sources with luminosities (if at the 50 kpc distance of the LMC) down to 10<sup>32</sup> erg s<sup>-1</sup>, increasing the number of known point sources in the field by more than a factor of five. Among these detections are 13 massive stars (3 compact groups of massive stars, 9 O stars, and one early B star) with log(L<sub>X</sub>/L<sub>BOL</sub>) ~ -6.5 to -7, which may suggest that they are highly magnetic or colliding-wind systems. On the other hand, the stacked signal for regions corresponding to undetected O stars yields log(L<sub>X</sub>/L<sub>BOL</sub>) ~ -7.3, i.e., an emission level comparable to similar Galactic stars despite the lower metallicity. Other point sources coincide with 11 foreground stars, 6 late-B/A stars in N11, and many background objects. This observation also uncovers the extent and detailed spatial properties of the soft, diffuse emission regions, but the presence of some hotter plasma in their spectra suggests contamination by the unresolved stellar population. The Chandra ACIS-I observations of N11 were made in six separate segments within two months in 2007. As summarized in Table 1, the exposure time of each segment was 42-49 ks and the roll angle ranged from 130 to 188 degrees Cleaning of significant background flares, together with a correction for the dead time of the six observations, resulted in a total of 280 ks useful exposure for the subsequent analysis. A combination of source detection algorithms (wavelet, sliding-box, and maximum likelihood centroid fitting) were applied to unsmoothed data in three bands: soft (S): 0.5-2.0 keV, hard (H): 2-8 keV, and total (T): 0.5-8 keV. The final source list contains 165 sources with local false detection probability P < 10<sup>-6</sup> in at least one band (Poisson statistics were used in calculating the significance of a source detection above the local count background). The source detection, though optimized for point-like sources, includes a few strong peaks of diffuse X-ray emission, chiefly associated with the SNR N11L, which lies about ~7' west of the field center. The authors calculated the net (background-subtracted) count rates in four sub-bands (S1 = 0.5-1.0 keV, S2 = 1-2 keV, H1 = 2-4 keV and H2 = 4-8 keV, which were later added to form the count rates in the broader bands (S, H, and T). Source counts for each sub-band were then extracted within the 70% energy-encircled radius (EER) of the PSF, whose size depends on the off-axis angle of the source in the exposure and of the energy band under consideration. A background correction was also applied. Finally, count rates were derived by dividing source net counts by their effective exposure times (values at the source positions in the exposure map of the energy band under consideration), leading to equivalent on-axis values. It should be noted that the presented count rates have thus been corrected for the full PSF and for the effective exposure, which accounts not only for the telescope vignetting, but also for the degradation of the detector sensitivity over time. Therefore, the actual number of counts in a detection aperture is not simply a count rate multiplied by an exposure of 280 ks. The difference could be up to a factor of ~2, depending on a source's spectral shape. The authors searched for counterparts to their X-ray sources in several catalogs: the USNO-B1.0 Catalog (Monet et al. 2003), the Guide Star Catalog V2.3.2 (GSC, Lasker et al. 2008), the 2MASS All-Sky Catalog of Point Sources (Cutri et al. 2003), the Magellanic Clouds Photometric Survey (MCPS; Zaritsky et al. 2004, AJ, 128, 1606), the IRSF Magellanic Clouds Point Source Catalog (Kato et al. 2007, PASJ, 59, 615)), the DENIS Catalogue toward Magellanic Clouds (DCMC; Cioni et al. 2000, A&AS, 144, 235), and JHK<sub>s</sub> photometry of N11 young stellar objects ([HKN2006]; Hatano et al. 2006, AJ, 132, 2653). A best correlation radius of 1" was found to be optimal and was thus used to derive the final list of optical and infrared counterparts to the Chandra X-ray sources: 71 of the 165 sources have at least one counterpart within 1". The HEASARC has modified the counterpart names given in this table compared to those given in the reference paper so that they comply with the forms recommended by the CDS Dictionary of Nomenclature of Celestial Objects. This table was created by the HEASARC in August 2014 based primarily on the contents of Tables 2, 3 and 4 from the reference paper, machine-readable versions of which were obtained from the ApJS web site. Some information from Table 8 of the reference paper, viz., a number of the spectral types quoted for individual stars, was also used in populating the HEASARC-created class parameter.

- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- This table contains the observed-frame optical, near-infrared, and mid-infrared properties of X-ray-selected active galactic nuclei (AGN) in the Lockman Hole. Using a likelihood ratio method on optical, near-infrared or mid-infrared catalogs, the authors assigned counterparts to 401 out of the 409 X-ray sources of the XMM-Newton catalog (Brunner et al. 2008, A&A, 479, 283). Accurate photometry was collected for all the sources from U to 24 microns. The authors used X-ray and optical criteria to remove any normal galaxies, galactic stars, or X-ray clusters among them and studied the multi-wavelength properties of the remaining 377 AGN in their paper. They used a mid-IR colour-colour selection to understand the AGN contribution to the optical and infrared emission. Using this selection, they identified different behaviours of AGN-dominated and host-dominated sources in X-ray-optical-infrared color-color diagrams. More specifically, the AGN-dominated sources show a clear trend in the f<sub>x</sub>/f<sub>RC</sub> vs. R<sub>C</sub> - K and f<sub>24um</sub>/f<sub>RC</sub> vs. R<sub>C</sub> - K diagrams, while the hosts follow the behaviour of non-X-ray detected galaxies. In the optical-near-infrared color-magnitude diagram, the known trend of redder objects to be more obscured in X-rays is seen to be stronger for AGN-dominated than for host-dominated systems. This is an indication that the trend is more related to the AGN, which contaminate the overall colors, than to any evolutionary effects, the authors believe. Finally, the authors find that a significant fraction (~30%) of the reddest AGN are not obscured in X-rays. The X-ray observations of the Lockman Hole took place between April 2000 and December 2002 with XMM-Newton. The optical observations of the Lockman Hole were conducted with the Large Binocular Telescope (U, B, V bands) and the Subaru Telescope (R<sub>C</sub>, I<sub>C</sub>, z' bands). The LBT observations were taken from February 2007 to March 2009. The R<sub>C</sub>, I<sub>C</sub>, and z' bands have been observed with the Suprime-Cam of the Subaru telescope between November 2001 and April 2002. This table contains the properties of the counterparts to all 409 X-ray sources listed in the Lockman Hole XMM-Newton source catalog of Brunner et al. (2008, A&A, 479, 283), including the 377 AGN and also the 32 objects classified as Galactic stars, galaxy clusters or galaxies. For 8 (2%) of the 409 X-ray sources no optical or IR counterparts were found. These 8 objects are listed in this table with null positional values. This table was created by the HEASARC in January 2012 based on <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/A+A/529/A135">CDS Catalog J/A+A/529/A135</a> file table2.dat.

- Description:
- This table contains the results of a detailed X-ray spectral analysis of a sample of 123 X-ray sources detected with XMM-Newton in the Lockman Hole field. This is the deepest observation carried out as yet with XMM-Newton with more that 600 ks of good EPIC-pn data.There are spectra with good signal to noise (>500 source counts) for all objects down to 0.2 - 12 keV fluxes of 5 x 10<sup>-15</sup> erg/cm<sup>2</sup>/s (the flux limit is 6 x 10<sup>-16</sup> erg/cm<sup>2</sup>/s in the 0.5 - 2.0 and 2 - 10 keV bands). At the time of the analysis, the authors had optical spectroscopic identifications for 60% of the sources, 46 being optical type-1 AGN and 28 optical type-2 AGN. Using a single power law model, their sources' average spectral slope hardens at faint 0.5 - 2 keV fluxes but not at faint 2 - 10 keV fluxes.
