Description:
The Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer satellite was launched on
June 7, 1992 from Cape Canaveral, Florida on a Delta II rocket.
The payload contains three EUV scanning telescopes equipped with
imaging detectors as well as a Deep Survey Spectrometer instrument
which divides the light from a fourth telescope between an imaging
detector and three EUV spectrometers.
There are three source tables in this catalogue:
- table1 lists count rates and positions of 514 objects detected
during the all-sky survey.
- table2 lists 35 sources detected by the deep survey of half the
ecliptic plane; three deep survey objects are also detected
in the all sky survey.
- table3 lists 188 sources that have been detected in other ways,
principally by deep exposures with the scanner telescopes as
part of the Right Angle Program or by long exposures with the
deep survey instrument; table3 includes right angle detections
through December 24, 1994. Because the objects listed in table3
have been derived with a variety of instruments and exposure
strategies, the flux limits and detection thresholds vary over
a wide range; interested readers should consult the reference listed.
Each table has an associated list of identified sources,
id1, id2 and id3 (one EUVE source may by associated to 0, one
or more counterparts); in nearly all cases they lie within 1 arcmin of
the actual source position.
The 534 objects in the "faint" part were detected jointly in the EUVE
and in the ROSAT X-Ray Telescope 0.25keV band (50Å). This joint
selection criterion permits use of a low count rate threshold in each
survey, roughly 60% of the threshold used in the EUVE all-sky surveys,
and 166 of the objects listed in the "faint" part are new EUV sources,
appearing in neither the Second EUVE Source Catalog (tables 1 to 3)
nor the ROSAT Wide Field Camera Second Catalog (J/MNRAS/274/1165)

Note (1): the `Q' column indicates our level of confidence in each
source detection:
Q=1 denotes likely identification on basis of known EUV emitter from
previous work or from membership in a class of known EUV emitters.
Q=2 denotes acceptable positional coincidence but little or no
other supporting evidence.
Q=U denotes some of the detected source counts originate from the
known UV leak of one or more of the EUVE filters
Q=H means no counterpart has been found, but the detection is
statistically secure found, the detection is statistically
secure in the sense of its satisfying the more stringent
selection criteria.
Q= (a blank) indicates that the detection lies in the less stringent
group, and no other supporting evidence is available.
