The Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope (WSRT) in the Netherlands has been used to survey the section of the galactic plane from +42 to +92 degrees Galactic Longitude l at a radio frequency of 327 MHz. Twenty-three overlapping synthesis fields were observed in the Galactic Latitude b band of |b| < 1.6 degrees. Each field was observed at two epochs, several years apart, to identify variable sources. Intensity data from the separate epochs were combined, and the resulting images mosaicked to produce a single image of the entire survey region. The sensitivity of the mosaic is typically a few mJy, corresponding to a detection level as low as 10 mJy/beam. The spatial resolution is 1' by 1' * cosec(Dec). The survey image provided the first high resolution view of the Galaxy at low radio frequencies, and included sections of the Sagittarius and Cygnus arms. These sections contain numerous extended features, among them supernova remnants, H II regions, "bubbles" of thermal emission, and large patches of amorphous galactic thermal emission. The inter-arm region is characterized by lower densities of extended features, but numerous discrete compact radio sources, most of which are background objects such as quasars and other types of active galactic nuclei. However, the resolution, sensitivity and low frequency of this survey make it ideal for detecting weak, non-thermal compact galactic sources, e.g. compact, low surface brightness SNRs and radio stars. Inspection of the survey image has produced a catalog of nearly 4000 discrete sources with sizes of less than about 3'. Gaussian model parameters for each compact source in the mosaicked images were obtained using the AIPS routine IMFIT. The background-removed intensity distribution of each source was fitted by a 2-dimensional Gaussian, parametrized by the source position, peak intensity, major and minor axes, and the position angle of the major axis. The catalog contains all sources having peak intensity > 5 times the rms noise level measured in the surrounding area of the image, and lists RA, Dec, flux density, and, if the source is resolved, the deconvolved major and minor axis and the position angle of the source. Sources were identified based on visual inspection of the images. In practice, a source had to have dimensions of less than a few arcminutes to be classified as a compact source. Most (85%) of the sources are either unresolved or only slightly resolved (major axis < 60"), but some sources have dimensions as large as 6'. A source was considered resolved if the area of its Gaussian model was greater than the area of the beam by more than 4 times its uncertainty. Approximately 15% of the sources are resolved, with dimensions of 1'- 3'. The spatial distribution of resolved sources shows concentrations toward the spiral arms and follows the warping of the Galactic disk over the length of the survey region, indicating that a sizable fraction is Galactic. In the reference paper, spectral indices are calculated for 1313 sources detected in other radio surveys at frequencies greater than 408 MHz. The resolved sources exhibit a bimodal spectral index distribution, with distinct non-thermal and thermal populations. Comparison with the IRAS Point Source Catalogue results in 118 identifications between WSRT and IRAS sources, which are listed in Table 1 of the reference paper. Most of these are thermal radio sources associated with compact Galactic objects such as H II regions and planetary nebulae. A search for variability among 2148 of the compact sources has resulted in 29 candidate low-frequency variable sources, which are listed in Table 2 of the reference paper. See the project website at

MAXI/GSC 7-Year High and Low Galactic Latitude Source Catalog (3MAXI)
공공데이터포털
This table combines the published X-ray source catalogs of the high galactic latitude (|b| > 10o), Kawamuro et 2018, and the low galactic latitude (|b| < 10o), Hori et al. 2018, based on 7 years of MAXI Gas Slit Camera (GSC) data from 2009 August 13 to 2016 July 31. The low galactic latitude catalog contains 221 sources with a significance threshold > 6.5 sigma. The low galactic faintest source has a flux of 5.2 x 10-12 erg cm-2 s-1 (or an intensity of 0.43 mCrab) in the 4-10 keV band. The high galactic latitude catalog contains 686 sources detected at significances >= 6.5 sigma in the 4-10 keV band. The high galactic 4-10 keV sensitivity reaches ~0.48 mCrab, or ~5.9 x 10-12 erg cm-2 s-1, over half of the survey area. The same data-screening criteria were applied to obtain the low and high galactic catalogs. In their papers the authors describe the detection method, the statistical quantities derived for each source and their variability. To derive a counterpart, each source was cross-matched with the Swift/BAT 105-month catalog (BAT105; Oh et al. 2018), the Uhuru fourth catalog (4U; Forman et al. 1978), the RXTE All-Sky Monitor long-term observed source table (XTEASMLONG16), Meta-Catalog of X-Ray Detected Clusters of Galaxies (MCXC; Piffaretti et al. 2011), the XMM-Newton Slew Survey Catalog (XMMSL217), and the ROSAT All-Sky Survey Bright Source Catalog (1RXS; Voges et al. 1999). Seven of the sources in the low galactic latitudes were detected by binning the data differently (source numbers 215-221 in the catalog named 73-day sources), and, similarly, four of the sources in the high galactic latitude catalog named transient sources. The parameters in the combined table include the source name (3MAXI), the position and its error, the detection significances and fluxes in the 4-10 keV, 3-4 keV bands and 10-20 keV bands the hardness ratios (HR1: 3-4 keV, 4-10 keV and HR2: 4-10 keV, 10-20 keV), excess variance in the 4-10 keV lightcurve and information on the likely counterpart. The high galactic catalogs also reports the flux in the 3-10 keV, an additional hardness (HR3: 3-10 keV and 10-20 keV) and an additional parameter representing variability. The hardness ratios are defined as H-S/H+S were S and H are the soft- and hard-band fluxes, respectively. This table was created by the HEASARC in April 2021. It is a combination of the 7-year low- and high-latitude MAXI source catalogs published on ApJS. The data for the low-galactic latitude and the high-galactic latitude were downloaded from the ApJS electronic version of the Hori et al. 2018 ApJS 235,7 and Kawamuro et al. 2018 ApJS 238,33 papers respectively. The low-latitude data included in this table are from tables 4, 5, 6, 7 of the Hori paper that report the X-ray sources detected (214 sources, table 4), their possible identification (table 5), the transient sources discovered binning the data on 73 days period (7 sources, table 5) and their identification (table 6). The high-latitude data included in this table are from the tables 1,2,3 of the Kawamuro paper that report the X-ray sources detected (682 sources in table 1), their identifications (table 2), and the transient sources (4 sources in table 3). The low and high galactic latitude source catalogs provide for each individual source similar parameters for the X-ray properties with the high-latitude having three additional parameters, specifically, the flux in the 3-10 keV energy range, the 3-10/10-20-keV hardness ratio, and a time variability test. These parameters are kept in the HEASARC combined table and set to "blank" values for the low-latitude sources. The four sources in the high-latitude catalog named transient sources have only fluxes in the 4-10 keV band and no other fluxes in the other energy bands or the hardness ratio are reported. The HEASARC combined table includes a field to identify whether the source is from the
GLIMPSE II Epoch2 Archive
공공데이터포털
The Galactic Legacy Infrared Mid-Plane Survey Extraordinaire (GLIMPSEII) imaged longitudes ±10◦ of the central region of the Galaxy. The latitude coverage is ±1◦ from |l| =10◦to 5◦, ±1.5◦ from |l| =5◦to 2◦, and ±2◦ from |l| =2◦to 0◦. GLIMPSEII coverage excludes the Galactic center region l=±1◦, b=±0.75◦ observed by the GALCEN GO program (PID=3677). GLIMPSEII had two-epoch coverage for a total of three visits on the sky. The observations consisted of two 1.2 second integrations at each position in the first epoch of data taking (September 2005) and a single 1.2 second integration at each position six months later (April 2006).The GLIMPSEII Archive (GLMIIA or the “Archive”) consists of point sources with a signal- to-noise > 5 in at least one band and less stringent selection critera than the Catalog. The photometric uncertainty is typically < 0.3 mag. The GLIMPSEII Catalog is a subset of the Archive, but note that the entries for a particular source might not be the same due to additional nulling of magnitudes in the Catalog because of the more stringent requirements.
