The GSC-I catalog is an all-sky catalog of positions and magnitudes for approximately 19 million stars and other objects in the sixth to fifteenth magnitude range. The GSC is primarily based on an all-sky, single-epoch collection of Schmidt plates. For centers at +6 degrees and north, a 1982 epoch "Quick V" survey was obtained from the Palomar Observatory, while for southern fields, materials from the UK SERC J survey (epoch = 1975) and its equatorial extension (epoch = 1982) were used.

This catalog presents X-ray data for all entries in the Third Catalogue of Nearby Stars (CNS3: Gliese and Jahreiss, 1991, ADC/CDS Cat. ) that have been detected as X-ray sources in the ROSAT All-Sky Survey (RASS). The catalog contains 1252 entries, yielding an average detection rate of 32.9 percent of the 3802 CNS3 stars. In addition to count rates, source detection parameters, X-ray hardness ratios, and X-ray fluxes, X-ray luminosities derived from Hipparcos parallaxes are also listed. For a star to have been considered by the authors to have been detected as an X-ray source in the RASS, an X-ray source with an existence likelihood of 7 or more (equivalent to a source existence probablity of 99.9 percent or more) had to lie within 90 arcseconds of its 1990 epoch CNS3 position. The choice of this cut-off radius was based on a Monte Carlo simulation of about the same number of random positions that were used as input positions. At an offset of 90 arcseconds between the optical and X-ray positions the probability that the X-ray source is attributable to the star and not to a unrelated background object is 50 percent; this probability increases very rapidly for smaller values of the offset, notice. This database was created in June 1999 based on tables provided by the ADC/CDS data centers supplemented by additional tabular material provided to the HEASARC by the author Dr. M. Huensch.

The YSOVAR (Young Stellar Object VARiability) Spitzer Space Telescope observing program obtained the first extensive mid-infrared (IRAC 3.6 and 4.5 micron) time series photometry of the Orion Nebula Cluster plus smaller fields in 11 other star-forming cores (AFGL 490, NGC 1333, Mon R2, GGD 12-15, NGC 2264, L1688, Serpens Main, Serpens South, IRAS 20050+2720, IC 1396A, and Ceph C). There are ~29,000 unique objects with light curves in either or both IRAC channels in the YSOVAR data set. YSOVAR is a sister project to the Coordinated Synoptic Investigation of NGC 2264 (CSI 2264; Cody et al. 2014). Initial YSOVAR results were described in Morales-Calderon et al. (2011). Rebull et al. (2014) describes the details of target selection, data reduction, and other conventions established for this project.

This table contains a comprehensive X-ray point source catalog of the galaxy NGC 2403, an outlying member of the M 81 group of galaxies, as part of the Chandra Local Volume Survey. The combined archival observations of this galaxy have an effective exposure time of 190 ks. When combined with the catalogs of sources in NGC 55 and NGC 4214 given in this same reference paper, and the authors' previously published catalogs for NGC 300 (Binder et al. 2012, ApJ, 758, 15) and NGC 404 (Binder et al. 2013, ApJ, 763, 128), the CLVS contains 629 high-significance X-ray sources total down to a limiting unabsorbed luminosity of ~ 5 x 10³⁵ erg s^-1 in the 0.35-8.0 keV band in each of the five galaxies. In the reference paper, the authors present X-ray hardness ratios, spectral analysis, radial source distributions, and an analysis of the temporal variability for the X-ray sources detected at high significance. To constrain the nature of each X-ray source, they carried out cross-correlations with multi-wavelength data sets. They searched overlapping Hubble Space Telescope observations for optical counterparts to their X-ray detections to provide preliminary classifications for each X-ray source as a likely X-ray binary, background active galactic nucleus, supernova remnant, or foreground star. The authors utilized archival X-ray observations: NGC 2403 was observed by the Chandra X-Ray Observatory using the ACIS-S array on five occasions for a total of 190 ks:

The iterative source detection strategy that was used is described in Section 2.3 of Binder et al. (2012, ApJ, 758, 15). ACIS-Extract (AE) was run a final time on the source list that was produces after an initial run of wavdetect followed by several iterations of AE, and the Poisson probability of not being a source (pns) value was computed in each of the following nine energy bands: 0.5 - 8.0, 0.5 - 2.0, 2.0 - 8.0, 0.5 - 1.0, 1.0 - 2.0, 2.0 - 4.0, 4.0 - 8.0, 0.35 - 1.0 or 0.35 - 8.0 keV. To be included in the final NGC 2403 catalog, a source was required to have a pns value less than 4 x 10^-6 in any of the nine energy bands. The final CLVS source catalog for NGC 2403 contains 190 sources. This table was created by the HEASARC in September 2015 based on machine-readable versions of those parts of Table 5 and 8 from the reference paper which pertained to the 190 high-significance (pns < 4 x 10^-6) X-ray sources which were detected in NGC 2403. It does not include the 108 lower-significance sources in NGC 2403 which had 4 x 10^-6 < pns < 1.0 x 10^-3, some of which are likely to be genuine X-ray sources.
