- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- This catalog contains a source list derived from observations of the ROSAT all-sky survey (RASS) in the direction of the Chamaeleon star-forming region cloud complex, as well as spectroscopic identifications for the detected X-ray sources. The main purpose of this identification program was the search for low-mass pre-main sequence stars. Sixteen previously known PMS stars were detected with high confidence by ROSAT: eight are classical T Tauri stars and eight are weak-line T Tauri stars. Seventy-seven new weak-line T Tauri stars were identified on the basis of the presence of strong Li 6707 Angstrom absorption, a spectral type later than F0, and chromospheric emission. In addition, 6 new dKe-dMe candidates were found among the RASS sources. Coordinates and count rates are given for all of the X-ray sources. This online catalog was created by the HEASARC in September 1999 based on a machine-readable table obtained from the ADC/CDS data centers (J/A+AS/114/109).

- Description:
- This is the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) and Inter-Magellanic Cloud ('Bridge') portion of the 'Revised and Extended Catalog of Magellanic System Clusters, Associations, and Emission Nebulae' (Table 2 of Bica and Schmitt 1995). A survey of extended objects in the SMC and Bridge was carried out on the ESO/SERC R and J Sky Survey Atlases and 1188 such objects were identified, including 544 classified as star clusters, 343 as emissionless associations, and 291 as emission nebulae. Only those objects which could be detected on the ESO/SERC Schmidt films as non-stellar (typically larger than 15 arcseconds) are included in this catalog, note. The catalog also includes cross-identifications with previous catalogs, and 284 newly identified objects. Accurate positions, classification, homogeneous sizes, and position angles are provided, as well as information on cluster pairs and hierarchical relations for superimposed objects. This database table was created by the HEASARC in February 1998 based on a computer readable version of the catalog that was obtained from the <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/ApJS/101/41">CDS catalog J/ApJS/101/41</a>. Additional information for the help documentation was obtained from the published version of this catalog (Bica and Schmitt 1995). This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- This database table contains a list of H-alpha emission-line stars and small nebulae in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) that were discovered in an objective-prism survey. This survey was performed through an H-alpha + [N II] interference filter using the 0.90m Curtis Schmidt telescope at Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory (CTIO). 1898 emission-line objects were detected in the main body of the SMC, almost quadrupling the number of those discovered in previous objective-prism surveys of the same region. Among these 1898 objects are newly discovered planetary nebulae, compact H II regions, and late-type stars. Continuum intensities, the shapes and strengths of the H-alpha emission line, co-ordinates and (where available) cross-identifications are provided for the listed objects. This version of the SMC H-alpha Emission-Line Stars and Small Nebulae Catalog of Meyssonnier and Azzopardi was created by the HEASARC in November 1997 based on the ADC/CDS machine-readable catalog J/A+AS/102/451.

- SMC Probable Member Stars Catalog
- Short Name:
- SMCStars
- Date:

- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- An objective prism survey was conducted to discover probable members of the Small Magellanic Cloud. Interference filters were used to restrict the wavelength range and, hence, decrease the background and crowding. The limiting absolute magnitude of the survey is about -4.5. The 1975 paper listed 506 stars that show high luminosity characteristics; 193 of them had been confirmed by other authors. The 1979 paper added 14 additional probable members and photometric observations of 11 stars from the earlier paper that confirmed their membership. For completeness, four new Wolf-Rayet stars detected by Azzopardi and Breysacher (1979) were included. The catalog contains a catalog number in order of right ascension with the suffixes "a" or "b" used for the newer stars interpolated in the original list. Also included are the 1975 position, the MK spectral classification, the V magnitude, the (B-V) and (U-B) color indices, the number of observations, the identification chart number, and remarks indicating previous identifications. A later catalog of the Small Magellanic Could star members is also published by Azzopardi and Vigneau (1982A&AS...50..291A). This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

- Title:
- Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory Star Catalog
- Short Name:
- SAO
- Date:
- 28 Mar 2025
- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- This database is based on the electronic version of the SAO catalog from the Astronomical Data Center, which is itself based on an original binary version of the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory Star Catalog (SAO, SAO Staff 1966). Subsequent improvements by T. A. Nagy (1979) included the addition of cross-identifications from the Table of Correspondences SAO/HD/DM/GC (Morin 1973). As a prelude to creation of the 1984 version of the SAO, a new version of the SAO-HD-GC-DM Cross Index was prepared (Roman, Warren, and Schofield 1983). The 1984 version of the SAO contained the corrected and extended cross identifications, all errata published up to January 1984 and known to the ADC, numerous errors forwarded to the ADC by colleagues, and errors discovered at the ADC during the course of this work. Clayton A. Smith of the U. S. Naval Observatory provided J2000.0 positions and proper motions for the SAO stars. Published and unpublished errors discovered in the previous version (1984) have been corrected (up to May 1991). For this HEASARC representation, some parameters such as the RA and Dec in radians have been omitted. This online version of the SAO Catalog was created by the HEASARC in March 2001 based on ADC/<a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/I/131A">CDS Catalog I/131A</a>, which itself is originally derived from a character-coded machine-readable version of the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory Star Catalog (SAO, SAO Staff 1966) prepared by T.A. Nagy in 1979, and subsequently modified over the next decade or so. The first machine-readable version contained format modifications, cross identifications and other changes, and was the starting point of the version in this database. Additional changes were made to the SAO catalog over time (namely more cross identifications and corrections) which resulted in a new version in 1984. Finally, the most recent version of the catalog was published in 1989. It included J2000 positions for all the objects, and corrections to errors known as of May 1989.

- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- The Ninth Catalog of Spectroscopic Binary Orbits (SB9) continues the series of compilations of spectroscopic orbits carried out over the past 35 years by Batten and collaborators, e.g., the 8th SBO Catalog (SB8, <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/V/64">CDS Catalog V/64</a>) of Batten, Fletcher and MacCarthy 1989, Publ. DAO, 17, 1. This catalog is regularly updated. This version of SB9 contains orbits for over three thousand binary systems; notice that the numbers of orbits and binary systems included in this version differ from those in the reference publication, as the latter reflected the 2004 May 1 status of the catalog, when it had 2694 orbits for 2386 binary systems. There is an online version of this catalog, maintained by the authors, which is continuously updated, at <a href="http://sb9.astro.ulb.ac.be/">http://sb9.astro.ulb.ac.be/</a>. This table was created by the HEASARC based on the <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/B/sb9">CDS Catalog B/sb9</a>, using the files main.dat, alias.dat, orbits.dat and notes.txt. The CDS updates it regularly, and this HEASARC version is accordingly updated within a week of such updates. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

- StarswithRotationPeriods&X-RayLuminositiesCatalog
- Short Name:
- ROTXRAYCAT
- Date:

- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- This table contains photometric and derived stellar parameters for a sample of 820 solar and late-type stars (the original table of 824 entries had 4 near-duplicate entries for the stars HD 19668, HD 95188, HD 216803 and HD 285382 which have been removed by the HEASARC) from nearby open clusters and the field, including rotation periods and X-ray luminosities. This sample was used by the authors to study the relationship between rotation and stellar activity and derive a new estimate of the convective turnover time. From an unbiased subset of this sample the power law slope of the unsaturated regime, L<sub>X</sub>/L<sub>bol</sub> ~ R<sub>o</sub><sup>beta</sup>, is fit as beta = -2.70 +/- 0.13. This is inconsistent with the canonical beta = -2 slope to a confidence of 5 sigma, and argues for an additional term in the dynamo number equation. From a simple scaling analysis, this implies Delta(Omega)/Omega ~ Omega<sup>0.7</sup>, i.e. the differential rotation of solar-type stars gradually declines as they spin down. Super-saturation is observed for the fastest rotators in this sample and its parametric dependencies are explored. Significant correlations are found with both the corotation radius and the excess polar updraft, the latter theory providing a stronger dependence and being supported by other observations. The authors estimate mass-dependent empirical thresholds for saturation and super- saturation and map out three regimes of coronal emission. Late F-type stars are shown never to pass through the saturated regime, passing straight from super-saturated to unsaturated X-ray emission. The theoretical threshold for coronal stripping is shown to be significantly different from the empirical saturation threshold (R<sub>o</sub> < 0.13), suggesting it is not responsible. Instead, the authors suggest that a different dynamo configuration is at work in stars with saturated coronal emission. This is supported by a correlation between the empirical saturation threshold and the time when stars transition between convective and interface sequences in rotational spin-down models. This table was created by the HEASARC in March 2012 based on <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/ApJ/743/48">CDS Catalog J/ApJ/743/48</a> file catalog.dat. The original table had 824 entries, including 4 near-duplicate entries for the stars HD 19668, HD 95188, HD 216803 and HD 285382, which have been removed by the HEASARC.

- Sternberg Astronomical Institute Catalog of Supernovae
- Short Name:

- Date:

- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- This table comprises the Sternberg Astronomical Institute (SAI) Catalog of Supernovae. This version contains data on 2991 extragalactic supernovae (SNe) which were discovered from 1885 until December 12, 2004 and on their host galaxies. Data for host galaxies were compiled from the following catalogues: (1) RC3 (de Vaucouleurs et al. 1991, Cat. <VII/155>); (2) UGC (Nilson 1973. Cat. <VII/26>); (3) PGC (Paturel et al. 1989, Cat. <VII/119>); (4) MCG (Vorontsov-Velyaminov et al. 1962-1968, Cat. <VII/62>, <VII/100>); (5) ESO (Lauberts 1982, Cat. <VII/34>); (6) CfA (Huchra et al. 1994, see Cat <VII/193>), and (7) from van den Bergh (1994, Cat. <J/ApJS/92/219>). The main source of morphological types, major diameters and axial ratios was the RC3; the data from other sources were reduced to the system of RC3. Photographic magnitudes of galaxies were adopted from the UGC and the PGC together with individual data from the literature. The sources of recession velocities or cz values were the RC3, the CfA, the PGC and IAU Circulars. Position angles were taken from the RC3, UGC and the ESO catalogues, and inclination angles were mainly derived from data in RC3 according to Holmberg (1958MeLu2.136....1H). Some data for SNe and host galaxies were adopted from the GCVS (Samus et al. 1995, Cat. <II/205>). This table was created by the HEASARC in June 2005 based on CDS table II/256/sn.dat. Notice that the number of entries (2991) is more than the number of 2780 mentioned in the published reference: this is apparently due to the fact that the CDS table contains supernovae as recent as December 12, 2004, while the latter is complete only until January 6, 2004.

- Description:
- This database table contains a catalog of confirmed and suspected symbiotic stars. The list includes 188 symbiotic stars as well as 30 objects suspected of being symbiotic. For each star, basic observational material is presented: coordinates, V and K magnitudes, ultraviolet (UV), infrared (IR), X-ray and radio observations. Also listed are the spectral type of the cool component, the maximum ionization potential observed, references to finding charts, spectra, classifications and recent (as of 2000) papers discussing the physical parameters and nature of each object. This table does NOT contain the information on orbital photometric ephemerides and orbital elements of known symbiotic binaries, pulsational periods for symbiotic Miras, Hipparcos parallaxes and information about outbursts and flickering that is contained in the printed version of the catalog (see Tables 3-7 in the paper for this material). This table was created by the HEASARC in November 2005 based on 4 CDS tables (table1.dat, table1b.dat, table2.dat, table2b.dat) from the directory J/A+AS/146/407/.

- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- The VIIth Catalogue of Galactic Population I Wolf-Rayet (WR) Stars provides improved coordinates, spectral types, and bv photometry of known WR stars and adds 71 new stars compared to the VIth Catalog. This census of galactic WR stars has reached 227 stars (226 entries in this catalog), comprising 127 WN stars, 87 WC stars, 10 WN/WC stars, and 3 WO stars. This includes 15 WNL and 11 WCL stars within 30 pc of the Galactic Center. The catalog includes information on periodicity, binarity, terminal wind velocities, correlations with open clusters, OB associations, H I bubbles, H II regions, and ring nebulae, observed and dereddened narrow-band bv photometry, and distances, both heliocentric and galactocentric, and lists the references from which this information was obtained. This catalog was created by the HEASARC in April 2001, based on electronic versions of Tables 13, 14, 15, and 28 from the published paper containing the catalog which were directly supplied to the HEASARC by the author.
