Note (1): Clusters:
G: Galactic Sources
L: Large Magellanic Cloud
S: Small Magellanic Cloud
A: Andromeda Galaxy (M31)
N: NGC 55
Note (2): Countrates in the ROSAT PSPC (Cat. IX/11) corrected for vignetting,
i.e. absorbed on-axis count rates. Count rates in the HRI have been
converted to PSPC rates using a conversion factor of PSPC/HRI = 7.8
(Greiner, 1996, Lecture Notes in Physics 472, 299)
Note (3): Temperatures for the M31 sources are the maximum blackbody
temperatures derived from the hardness ratios at the appropriate
absorbing column (Greiner et al., 1996A&A...312...88G 1996A&A...312...88G).
Note (4): Type:
CBSS = close-binary supersoft X-ray source
N = nova
Sy = symbiotic binary
RN = recurrent nova
CV = cataclysmic variable
PN = planetary nebula
