Description:
Optical identifications for 195 EUV sources located in the ROSAT Wide
Field Camera all-Sky survey are presented. We list 69 previous unknown
EUV-emitting white dwarfs, 114 active stars, 7 new magnetic
cataclysmic variables and 5 active galaxies. Several of the white
dwarfs have resolved M-type companions, while five are unresolved
white dwarf/M-star pairs. Finding charts are given for the optical
counterparts.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note (1): the note has the following meaning:
P = CCD or photoelectric photometry (Buckley, private communication;
Schwartz et al. 1995PASP..107..667S 1995PASP..107..667S)
G = The HST Guide Star Catalog (v1.1, Cat. I/220)
cat = catalogued magnitudes (see Pye et al., 1995, Cat. J/MNRAS/274/1165)
E = POSS E digitized plate material
J = SERC J digitized plate material
S = uncorrected slit magnitudes taken from calibrated spectra
A 'c' appended to the J and E codes indicates that accurate external
zero-points were not been obtained by comparing the magnitudes of
stars within 3arcmin of the EUV source that appear in the HST Guide
Star Catalog (v.1.1) with the uncorrected values measured for those
stars from the Schmidt-telescope Sky Survey Plates. If there is more
than one counterpart, there are separate entries for each star when
these are available.
Note (2): the class is as follows:
Star = all active stars
WD = white dwarf
CV = cataclysmic variable
AGN = active galaxy
Note (3):
'u' indicates that the line was covered but no measurable emission
component was detected. Significant chromospheric emission may still
be present, particularly when this refers to Halpha (e.g. the Halpha
photospheric absorption line may be 'filled-in' by emission);
'-' indicates that the line was not covered in the spectra
