XID II: Statistical Cross-Association of ROSAT Bright Source Catalog X-ray Sources with 2MASS Point Source Catalog Near-Infrared Sources
The 18,806 ROSAT All Sky Survey Bright Source Catalog (RASS/BSC) X-raysources are quantitatively cross-associated with near-infrared (NIR)sources from the Two Micron All Sky Survey Point Source Catalog(2MASS/PSC). An association catalog is presented, listing the mostlikely counterpart for each RASS/BSC source, the probability Pid that the NIR source and X-ray source are uniquelyassociated, and the probability P no-id that none of the2MASS/PSC sources are associated with the X-ray source. The catalogincludes 3853 high quality (P id>0.98) X-ray-NIR matches,2280 medium quality (0.98 >= P id>0.9) matches, and4153 low quality (0.9 >= P id>0.5) matches. Of the highquality matches, 1418 are associations that are not listed in the SIMBADdatabase, and for which no high quality match with a USNO-A2 opticalsource was presented for the RASS/BSC source in previous work. Thepresent work offers a significant number of new associations withRASS/BSC objects that will require optical/NIR spectroscopy forclassification. For example, of the 6133 P id>0.92MASS/PSC counterparts presented in the association catalog, 2411 haveno classification listed in the SIMBAD database. These 2MASS/PSC sourceswill likely include scientifically useful examples of known sourceclasses of X-ray emitters (white dwarfs, coronally active stars, activegalactic nuclei), but may also contain previously unknown sourceclasses. It is determined that all coronally active stars in theRASS/BSC should have a counterpart in the 2MASS/PSC, and that the uniqueassociation of these RASS/BSC sources with their NIR counterparts thusis confusion limited.
| A spectroscopic survey of the youngest field stars in the solar neighbourhood. I. The optically bright sample
Aims: We present the first results of an ambitious ground-basedobservation programme conducted on 1-4 m class telescopes. Our sampleconsists of 1097 active and presumably young stars, all of them beingoptical (Tycho Catalogue) counterparts of ROSAT All-Sky Survey X-raysources in the northern hemisphere. In this paper, we concentrate on theoptically brightest (V_T?slant 9.5 m) candidates (704 objects). Weacquired high-resolution optical spectroscopy in the H? and/orlithium spectral regions for 426 of such stars without relevant data inthe literature. We describe the star sample and the observations and westart to discuss the physical properties of the investigated stars. Methods: We used a cross-correlation technique and other toolsdeveloped by us to derive accurate radial and rotational velocities andto perform an automatic spectral classification for both single starsand double-lined systems. The spectral subtraction technique was used toderive chromospheric activity levels and lithium abundances. Weestimated the fraction of young single stars and multiple systems instellar soft X-ray surveys and the contamination by more evolvedsystems, like RS CVn binaries. We classified stars on the basis of theirlithium abundance and give a glimpse of their sky distribution. Results: The sample appears to be a mixture of quite youngPleiades-like and Hyades-like stars plus an older lithium-poorpopulation probably born within the last 1-2 Gyr. Seven stars with alithium abundance compatible with the age of IC 2602 (about 30 Myr) oreven younger were detected as well, although two appear to belithium-rich giants.The discovery of a large number of highly ormoderately lithium-rich giants is another outcome of the present survey. Conclusions: The contamination of soft X-ray surveys by oldsystems in which the activity level is enhanced by tidal synchronisationis not negligible, especially for K-type stars. Five stars with lithiumcontent close to the primordial abundance are probably associated withalready known moving groups in the solar neighbourhood. Some of them aregood post-T Tauri candidates according to their positions in the HRdiagram.Based on observations collected at the Observatoire de Haute Provence(France) and the Catania Astrophysical Observatory (Italy). Data for the426 stars is only available in electronic form at the CDS via anonymousftp to cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr (130.79.128.5) or viahttp://cdsweb.u-strasbg.fr/cgi-bin/qcat?J/A+A/504/829
| Meridian observations made with the Carlsberg Automatic Meridian Circle at Brorfelde (Copenhagen University Observatory) 1981-1982
The 7-inch transit circle instrument with which the present position andmagnitude catalog for 1577 stars with visual magnitudes greater than11.0 was obtained had been equipped with a photoelectric moving slitmicrometer and a minicomputer to control the entire observationalprocess. Positions are reduced relative to the FK4 system for each nightover the whole meridian rather than the usual narrow zones. Thepositions of the FK4 stars used in the least squares solution are alsogiven in the catalog.
