This table contains the main X-ray source catalog for the Chandra monitoring observations of the 16.5-Mpc distant elliptical galaxy, NGC 4649. The galaxy has been observed with Chandra ACIS-S3 in six separate pointings, reaching a total exposure of 299 ks. There are 501 X-ray sources detected in the 0.3-8.0 keV band in the merged observation or in one of the six individual observations; 399 sources are located within the D₂₅ ellipse. The observed 0.3-8.0 keV luminosities of these 501 sources range from 9.3 x 10³⁶ erg s^-1 to 5.4 x 10³⁹ erg s^-1. The 90% detection completeness limit within the D₂₅ ellipse is 5.5 x 10³⁷ erg s^-1. Based on the surface density of background active galactic nuclei (AGNs) and the detection completeness, we expect ~ 45 background AGNs among the catalog sources (~ 15 within the D₂₅ ellipse). There are nine sources with luminosities greater than 10³⁹ erg s^-1, which are candidates for ultraluminous X-ray sources. The nuclear source of NGC 4649 is a low-luminosity AGN, with an intrinsic 2.0-8.0 keV X-ray luminosity of 1.5 x 10³⁸ erg s^-1. The X-ray colors suggest that the majority of the catalog sources are low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs). The authors find that 164 of the 501 X-ray sources show long-term variability, indicating that they are accreting compact objects, and discover four transient candidates and another four potential transients. They also identify 173 X-ray sources (141 within the D₂₅ ellipse) that are associated with globular clusters (GCs) based on Hubble Space Telescope and ground-based data; these LMXBs tend to be hosted by red GCs. Although NGC 4649 has a much larger population of X-ray sources than the structurally similar early-type galaxies, NGC 3379 and NGC 4278, the X-ray source properties are comparable in all three systems. This HEASARC table contains the main Chandra source catalog of the basic properties of the 501 X-ray detected sources (Table 3 in the reference paper which includes both sources detected in the merged X-ray image as well as a number only detected in the individual observations), and also the information on source counts, hardness ratios and soft and hard X-ray colors in the merged observation for the same 501 X-ray detected sources (Table 4 in the reference paper). It does not contain the information on source counts, hardness ratios and soft and hard X-ray colors for these same sources in the six individual observations that were contained in Tables 5 - 10 of the reference paper. This table was created by the HEASARC in March 2013 based on the electronic version of Tables 3 and 4 from the reference paper which were obtained from the ApJS website..

This table contains the sources detected in a Chandra X-ray observation of the Galactic globular cluster NGC 2808, as well as the corresponding XMM-Newton data for those sources which have XMM-Newton X-ray counterparts. Using new Chandra X-ray observations and existing XMM-Newton X-ray and Hubble Space Telescope far-ultraviolet observations, the authors aim to detect and identify the faint X-ray sources belonging to NGC 2808 in order to understand their role in the evolution of globular clusters. The authors classify the X-ray sources associated with the cluster by analysing their colors and variability. Previous observations with XMM-Newton and far-ultraviolet observations with Hubble are re-investigated to help identify the Chandra sources associated with the cluster. The authors compare their results to population synthesis models and observations of other Galactic globular clusters. NGC 2808 was observed with the Chandra X-ray Observatory Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer-Imager (ACIS-I) on 2007 June 19-21 (28 months after the XMM-Newton observation referred to the reference paper) for two distinct exposures of 46 and 11 kiloseconds. The authors detect 113 sources, of which 16 fall inside the half-mass radius of NGC 2808 and are concentrated towards the cluster core. This table was created by the HEASARC in February 2009 based on the electronic version of Table 1 from the paper which was obtained from the CDS (their catalog J/A+A/490/641 file table1.dat).

The authors observed the nearby, low-density globular cluster M71 (NGC 6838) with the Chandra X-Ray Observatory to study its faint X-ray populations. Five X-ray sources were found inside the cluster core radius, including the known eclipsing binary millisecond pulsar (MSP) PSR J1953+1846A. The X-ray light curve of the source coincident with this MSP shows marginal evidence for periodicity at the binary period of 4.2hr. Its hard X-ray spectrum and luminosity resemble those of other eclipsing binary MSPs in 47 Tuc, suggesting a similar shock origin of the X-ray emission. A further 24 X-ray sources were found within the half-mass radius r_h, reaching to a limiting luminosity of 1.5 x 10³⁰ ergs/s (0.3-8 keV). From a radial distribution analysis, the authors find that 18 +/- 6 of these 29 sources are associated with M71, somewhat more than predicted, and that 11 +/- 6 are background sources, both Galactic and extragalactic. M71 appears to have more X-ray sources in the range L_X = 10³⁰ - 10³¹ ergs/s than expected by extrapolating from other studied clusters using either mass or collision frequency. In their paper, the authors explore the spectra and variability of these sources and describe the results of ground-based optical counterpart searches. The authors obtained a 52.4 ks Chandra observation (ObsID 5434) of M71 (nominal center of cluster at J2000.0 RA and Dec of 19 53 46.1 +18 46 42) on 2004 December 20-21 using the Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer (ACIS) in very faint (VF), timed-exposure mode with a 3.141s frame time. They searched for X-ray sources in the observed field by employing techniques described in Tennant (2006, AJ, 132, 1372) which use a circular Gaussian approximation to the point-spread function (PSF). Within twice the M71 half-mass radius (r_h = 1.65 arcminutes), they set the signal-to-noise threshold (S/N) for detection to 2.0, but also required the number of source counts to be at least 5 times the statistical uncertainty in the local background estimate. The empirical relation derived by Tennant, C_min = (S/N)²/0.81, then implies a point-source sensitivity limit of about 4.9 counts for r_M71 <= 2r_h and in the energy band 0.3-8.0 keV. Because of the increase in PSF size with off-axis distance and the associated increase in background within a detection cell, for R_M71 > 2r_h they set the S/N threshold for detection to 2.4 and again required the number of source counts to be at least 5 times the statistical uncertainty in the local background estimate. The point-source sensitivity limit thus rises to about seven counts. This table contains 63 X-ray sources and their optical/infrared counterpart information, if any, for those sources with r_M71 <= 2r_h which are listed in Table 1 of the reference paper: these sources have name prefixes of s01 to s63. It also contains 73 X-ray sources and their optical/infrared counterpart information, if any, for those sources with r_M71 > 2r_h which are listed in Table 2 of the reference paper: these sources have name prefixes of ss01 to ss59 and is01 to is14. Each entry in this table corresponds to an X-ray source if there is no counterpart information or only a single identified counterpart or to a particular X-ray source and counterpart match if there are multiple counterpart identifications. There are thus 165 entries in this HEASARC table corresponding to 136 X-ray sources. This table was created by the HEASARC in March 2011 based on the electronic version of Tables 1 and 2 of the reference paper which were obtained from the CDS (their catalog J/ApJ/687/1019 files table1.dat and table2.dat). Some of the values for the alt_name parameter in the HEASARC's implementation of this table were corrected in April 2018. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

This table contains some of the results from an in-depth study of low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) detected in the nearby lenticular galaxy NGC 3115 using the Megasecond Chandra X-ray Visionary Project observation (total exposure time 1.1 Ms). In total the authors found 136 candidate LMXBs in the field and 49 in globular clusters (GCs) above 2-sigma detection, with 0.3-8 keV luminosity L_X ~ 10³⁶ - 10³⁹ erg s^-1. Other than 13 transient candidates, the sources overall have less long-term variability at higher luminosity, at least at L_X >~ 2 x 10³⁷ erg s^-1. In order to identify the nature and spectral state of these sources, the authors compared their collective spectral properties based on single-component models (a simple power law or a multicolor disk) with the spectral evolution seen in representative Galactic LMXBs. The authors found that in the L_X vs. photon index Gamma_PL and L_X versus disk temperature kT_MCD plots, most of their sources fall on a narrow track in which the spectral shape hardens with increasing luminosity below L_X ~ 7 x 10³⁷ erg s^-1, but is relatively constant (Gamma_PL ~ 1.5 or kT_MCD ~ 1.5 keV) above this luminosity, which is similar to the spectral evolution of Galactic neutron star (NS) LMXBs in the soft state in the Chandra bandpass. Therefore, the authors identified the track as the NS LMXB soft-state track and suggested sources with L_X <~ 10³⁷ erg s^-1 as atolls in the soft state and those with L_X >~ 10³⁷ erg s^-1 as Z sources. Ten other sources (five are transients) displayed significantly softer spectra and are probably black hole X-ray binaries in the thermal state. One of them (a persistent source) is in a metal-poor GC. The 11 Chandra observations of NGC 3115 are listed in Table 1 of the reference paper. They were made during three epochs: one in 2001,two in 2010, and nine in 2012. All observations used the imaging array of the AXAF CCD Imaging Spectrometer (ACIS). This table contains the properties of the 482 detected point sources in the merged and single Chandra ACIS observations of NGC 3115 above a 2-sigma threshold and after eliminating a number of spurious sources associated with bright streaks on the ACIS-S1 chip and (in one case) on a CCD edge. 469 of these sources (indicated by values of obs_flag = '0') have a single entry in this table, based on their properties as derived from all of the available Chandra data for that position. There are 13 transient sources (having obs_flag = 'h') for which an additional entry is provided referring to their properties in the "high state", and based on the combination of their high-state observations, as shown in Figures 3(a) - 3(d) in the reference paper. For source number 198, there is a second additional entry provided referring to its properties in the "low state", and based on the combination of its low-state observations, as shown in Figure 3(c) in the reference paper. Thus, there are 496 entries (rows) in this table, i.e., 482 + 13 + 1. This table was created by the HEASARC in August 2015 based on the union of the machine-readable versions of Table 3 (the master source catalog) and Table 4 (the source counts, fluxes and hardness ratios in the merged observations) that were obtained from the ApJ web site. It does not contain the source counts and fluxes in the individual observations which were given in Table 5 of the reference paper. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

The authors have obtained high spatial resolution Chandra X-ray images of the NGC 2237 young stellar cluster on the periphery of the Rosette Nebula. They detect 168 X-ray sources, 80% of which have stellar counterparts in USNO, Two Micron All Sky Survey, and deep FLAMINGOS images. These constitute the first census of the cluster members with 0.2 <~ M <~ 2 M_sun. Star locations in near-infrared color-magnitude diagrams indicate a cluster age of around 2 Myr with a visual extinction of 1 <~ AV <~ 3 at 1.4 kpc, the distance of the Rosette Nebula's main cluster NGC 2244. The authors derive the K-band luminosity function and the X-ray luminosity function of the cluster, which indicate a population of ~ 400-600 stars. The X-ray-selected sample shows a K-excess disk frequency of 13%. The young Class II counterparts are aligned in an arc ~3 pc long suggestive of a triggered formation process induced by the O stars in NGC 2244. The diskless Class III sources are more dispersed. Several X-ray emitting stars are located inside the molecular cloud and around gaseous pillars projecting from the cloud. These stars, together with a previously unreported optical outflow originating inside the cloud, indicate that star formation is continuing at a low level and the cluster is still growing. This X-ray view of young stars on the western side of the Rosette Nebula complements the authors' earlier studies of the central cluster NGC 2244 and the embedded clusters on the eastern side of the Nebula. The large-scale distribution of the clusters and molecular material is consistent with a scenario in which the rich central NGC 2244 cluster formed first, and its expanding H II region triggered the formation of the now-unobscured satellite clusters Rosette Molecular Cloud (RMC) XA and NGC 2237. A large swept-up shell of material around the H II region is now in a second phase of collect-and-collapse fragmentation, leading to the recent formation of subclusters. Other clusters deeper in the molecular cloud appear unaffected by the Rosette Nebula expansion.

This table was created by the HEASARC in July 2010 based on electronic versions of Tables 1, 2, 3 and 4 of the reference paper which were obtained from the electronic ApJ web site. To distinguish between the 130 X-ray sources in the primary sample (Table 1 of the reference paper) and the 38 X-ray sources in the tentative sample (Table 2 of the reference paper), the HEASARC has created a parameter called source_sample which is set to 'P' for the primary sources and to 'T' for the tentative sources.
