ROSAT All-Sky Survey Completely Identified Northern Sample
This table contains a completely identified sample of northern ROSAT All-Sky Survey (RASS) X-ray sources, as well as some additional X-ray sources which either had count rates below the adopted limits or were located outside the boundaries of the study areas. It is a catalog of optical identifications of a representative sample of northern (declination > -9 degrees) RASS sources. A full identification has been carried out for a count-rate- and area-limited complete RASS subsample comprising 674 sources. All sources are within six study areas outside the galactic plane (absolute galactic latitude |b| > 19.6 degrees), one area being near the North Galactic Pole and one near the North Ecliptic Pole. This table was created by the HEASARC in August 2003 based on CDS tables J/ApJS/117/319/table1.dat.gz and J/ApJS/117/319/table2.dat.gz. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .
