Abstract
This Catalogue lists coordinates, X-ray fluxes in different energy ranges, magnitudes and color indices, optical counterparts, orbital periods of binaries, pulsar periods and other characteristics of 226 X-ray sources (HMXBs, LMXBs, pulsars and galaxies) between d = - 73° and d = + 27° .
The Catalogue lists 226 selected X-ray emitting objects with declinations between - 73° £ d £ + 27° . The information was obtained principally from the technical literature published from 1992 to May 1998. Some recently discovered sources, like RXTE 1550-56 and RXTE 2123–058, have also been included. The Table that lists the data follows the standard format used in Bradt & McClintock (1985) and van Paradijs (1995). However, the coordinates for both B1950 and J2000 have been included, as have the X-ray fluxes in six different energy ranges. This work up-dates and complements the two catalogues referred to above in the considered declination range.
In the Catalogue, the sources are ordered according to class (A: LMXBs; B: HMXBs and C: other sources) and right ascension. The numbers between square brackets refer to the publications from which the data were obtained, and additional information is given as key words. The Catalogue classifies 60 high-mass X-ray binaries (HMXBs), 35 of which have a pulsar, 124 low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs), 8 of which have a pulsar, 9 binaries, 7 of which have a pulsar, 9 simple pulsars, 7 galaxies, 1 quasar. There are 16 other sources without classification. Optical counterparts are known for 82 sources and they are also listed.
The Catalogue will be used to select X-ray sources to be observed with the MASCO telescope (Villela et al. 1995) that is being constructed to operate in the range 40 to 5000 keV. The MASCO telescope will be launched on board a balloon at the latitude -23° in Brazil. About one third of the sources emit above 30 keV and are concentrated in the Galactic Center, the main target of the MASCO telescope.
The Catalogue contents are explained below. The references cited are listed in numerical and alphabetic order at the end. The Catalogue is available electronically from the electronic version of the Publications of the Astronomical Society of Australia at http://www.atnf.csiro.au/pasa/16_2/meliani/.
1st. column: the source name related with its sky location in epoch 1950 (B) and/or 2000 (J), the conventional format is hhmm± ddd, where hh and mm indicate the hours and minutes of right ascension and ddd indicate the declination. If there is an alternative name, it is also given. The sources that emit above 30 keV are distinguished .
