MAXI/SSC Catalog of X-Ray Sources in 0.7-7.0 keV Band

Description

This table contains the first source catalog of the Solid-state Slit Camera (SSC) of the Monitor of All-sky X-ray Image (MAXI) mission located on the International Space Station, using the 45 months of data from 2010 August 1 to 2014 April 30 in the 0.7-7.0 keV band. Sources were searched for in two energy bands, 0.7-1.85 keV (the soft band) and 1.85-7.0 keV (the hard band), limiting sensitivities of 3 and 4 mCrab, respectively, were achieved, and 140 and 138 sources were detected in the soft and hard energy bands, respectively. Combining the two energy bands, 170 sources are listed in the MAXI/SSC catalog. All but 2 sources are identified, with 22 galaxies (including AGNs), 29 cluster of galaxies, 21 supernova remnants, 75 X-ray binaries, 8 stars, 5 isolated pulsars, and 9 non-categorized objects. Comparing the soft-band fluxes at the brightest end in this catalog with the ROSAT survey, which was performed about 20 years ago, 10% of the catalogued sources are found to have changed flux since the ROSAT era. This table was created by the HEASARC in December 2016 based on <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/PASJ/68/S32">CDS Catalog J/PASJ/68/S32</a> file table5.dat. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .
