This table contains results from the 'Chasing the Identification of ASCA Galactic Objects' (ChIcAGO) survey, which is designed to identify the unknown X-ray sources discovered during the ASCA Galactic Plane Survey (AGPS). Little is known about most of the AGPS sources, especially those that emit primarily in hard X-rays (2-10 keV) within the X-ray flux range from ~ 10^-13 to 10^-11 erg cm^-2 s^-1. In ChIcAGO, the sub-arcsecond localization capabilities of Chandra have been combined with a detailed multi-wavelength follow-up program, with the ultimate goal of classifying the > 100 unidentified sources in the AGPS. Overall to date, 93 unidentified AGPS sources have been observed with Chandra as part of the ChIcAGO survey. A total of 253 X-ray point sources have been detected in these Chandra observations within 3 arcminutes of the original ASCA positions. The authors have identified infrared and optical counterparts to the majority of these sources, using both new observations and catalogs from existing Galactic plane surveys. X-ray and infrared population statistics for the X-ray point sources detected in the Chandra observations reveal that the primary populations of Galactic plane X-ray sources that emit in the X-ray flux range from ~ 10^-13 to 10^-11 erg cm^-2 s^-1 are active stellar coronae, massive stars with strong stellar winds that are possibly in colliding wind binaries, X-ray binaries, and magnetars. There is also another primary population that is still unidentified but, on the basis of its X-ray and infrared properties, likely comprises partly Galactic sources and partly active galactic nuclei. A total of 93 AGPS sources have been observed with Chandra as part of the ChIcAGO survey, of which 84 were imaged with ACIS-S and 9 were imaged with HRC-I. The ChIcAGO Chandra observations took place over a 3.5 yr period, from 2007 January to 2010 July. The Chandra exposure times ranged from ~ 1 to 10 ks. All the details of these Chandra observations are listed in Table 1 of the reference paper. The initial automated analysis of these Chandra observations was conducted using the ChIcAGO Multi-wavelength Analysis Pipeline (MAP), described in Section 2.2 of the reference paper. ChIcAGO MAP takes the ACIS-S or HRC-I Chandra observation of an AGPS source field and detects and analyzes all point sources within 3 arcminutes, equivalent to the largest likely position error, for the original AGPS source positions supplied by Sugizaki et al. (2001, ApJS, 134, 77). The authors then performed a more detailed X-ray analysis and counterpart study for those 74 sources with > 20 X-ray counts, as such sources are approximately within the original AGPS sources X-ray flux range (see Sections 3.2 and 3.3 of the reference paper). Infrared and optical follow-up were primarily performed on those ChIcAGO sources having > 20 X-ray counts. In order to determine which optical and infrared sources are counterparts to ChIcAGO sources, the authors used a technique similar to that described by Zhao et al. (2005, ApJS, 161, 429), using their Equation (11). If the separation between a ChIcAGO source's wavdetect position and its possible counterpart is less than the quadratic sum of their 3-sigma positional errors and the 3-sigma Chandra pointing error, then the X-ray and optical (or infrared) sources are likely to be associated. The 1-sigma positional errors for all sources in the 2MASS PSC and GLIMPSE catalogs are 0.1 arcseconds and 0.3 arcseconds, respectively. USNO B has an astrometric accuracy of < 0.25 arcseconds. The authors have assumed that the error distributions of the Chandra observations, Chandra pointing, and USNO B Catalog are all Gaussian for the purposes of identifying possible counterparts to the ChIcAGO sources. This table was created by the HEASARC in June 2014 based on electronic versions of Tables 1, 2 and 12 from the reference paper which were obtained from

The Chandra data archive is a treasure trove for various studies, and in this study the author exploits this valuable resource to study the X-ray point source populations in nearby galaxies. By 2007 December 14, 383 galaxies within 40 Mpc with isophotal major axes above 1 arcminute had been observed by 626 public ACIS observations, most of which were for the first time analyzed by this survey to study the X-ray point sources. Uniform data analysis procedures were applied to the 626 ACIS observations and led to the detection of 28,099 point sources, which belong to 17,559 independent sources. These include 8700 sources observed twice or more and 1000 sources observed 10 times or more, providing a wealth of data to study the long-term variability of these X-ray sources. Cross-correlation of these sources with galaxy isophotes led to 8,519 sources within the D₂₅ isophotes of 351 galaxies, 3,305 sources between the D₂₅ and 2 * D₂₅ isophotes of 309 galaxies, and an additional 5,735 sources outside the 2 * D₂₅ isophotes of galaxies. This survey has produced a uniform catalog, by far the largest, of 11,824 X-ray point sources within 2 * D₂₅ isophotes of 380 galaxies. Contamination analysis using the log N-log S relation shows that 74% of the sources within the 2 * D₂₅ isophotes above 10³⁹ erg s^-1, 71% of the sources above 10³⁸ erg s^-1, 63% of the sources above 10³⁷ erg s^-1, and 56% of all sources are truly associated with the galaxies. Meticulous efforts have identified 234 X-ray sources with galactic nuclei of nearby galaxies. This archival survey leads to 300 ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) with L_X in the 0.3-8 keV band >= 2 x 10³⁹ erg s^-1 within the D₂₅ isophotes, 179 ULXs between the D₂₅ and the 2 * D₂₅ isophotes, and a total of 479 ULXs within 188 host galaxies, with about 324 ULXs truly associated with the host galaxies based on the contamination analysis. About 4% of the sources exhibited at least one supersoft phase, and 70 sources are classified as ultraluminous supersoft sources with L_X (0.3-8 keV) >= 2 x 10³⁸ erg s^-1. With a uniform data set and good statistics, this survey enables future works on various topics, such as X-ray luminosity functions for the ordinary X-ray binary populations in different types of galaxies, and X-ray properties of galactic nuclei. This table contains the list of 17,559 'independent' X-ray point sources that was contained in table 4 of the reference paper. As the author notes in Section 5 of this paper, there are 341 sources projected within 2 galaxies with overlapping domains which are listed for both galaxies. The 5,735 sources lieing outside the 2* D₂₅ isophotes of the galaxies are also included in this table. For these sources, the X-ray luminosities are computed as if they were in a galaxy of that group, which may or may not be the case; thus, they may not be their 'true' luminosities, but are listed for the purposes of comparison. This table was created by the HEASARC in March 2011 based on the electronic version of Table 4 of the reference paper which was obtained from the Astrophysical Journal web site. Some of the values for the name parameter in the HEASARC's implementation of this table were corrected in April 2018. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

This database table is based on the set of OSSE observation data products available at the HEASARC. The Oriented Scintillation Spectrometer Experiment (OSSE) is one of four experiments on NASA's Compton Gamma Ray Observatory (CGRO) satellite. OSSE was designed to undertake comprehensive gamma-ray observations of astrophysical sources in the 0.05-10 MeV energy range. The instrument also had secondary capabilities for gamma-ray and neutron observations above 10 MeV that are of particular value for solar flare studies. This database table was last updated in August 2005. Some duplicate entries in the table were removed in June 2019. The data in this table was supplied by the CGRO Science Support Center.

This database contains the 70 `discrete' (i.e., more compact than a few arc minutes) Einstein IPC X-ray sources in the direction of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) that are tabulated in Table 2A of Wang & Wu (1992, ApJS, 78, 391).
