Abstract:
Low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) are high-energy sources that require
multi-wavelength follow-up campaigns to be fully characterised. New
transients associated with LMXBs are regularly discovered, and
previously known systems are often revisited by astronomers to
constrain their intrinsic parameters. All of this information compiled
into a catalogue may build a useful tool for subsequent studies on
LMXBs and their population.
We aim to provide an update on past LMXB catalogues dating back 16
years and propose to the community a database on Galactic LMXBs with
the most complete, manually curated set of parameters and their
original references. On top of a fixed version accessible through
Vizier, we propose hosting the catalogue independently on our GitHub
collaboration, side-by-side with our previous catalogue on high-mass
X-ray binaries. The database will be regularly updated based on new
publications and community inputs.
We built a working base by cross-matching previous LMXB catalogues and
supplementing them with lists of hard X-ray sources detected over the
past 20 years. We compiled information from Simbad on LMXBs as a
starting point for a thorough, manual search in the literature to
retrieve important parameters that characterize LMXBs. We retrieved
newly detected LMXBs and candidates directly from literature searches.
Counterparts to these LMXBs are compiled from hard X-ray to infrared
and radio domains. Every piece of information presented on the LMXBs
is curated and backed by accurate references.
We present a catalogue of 339 Galactic LMXBs listing their
coordinates, companion star spectral type, systemic radial velocity,
component masses and compact object nature, the presence of type I
X-ray bursts, as well as orbital data. Coordinates and identifiers of
counterparts at various wavelengths are given, including 140 LMXBs
detected in Gaia DR3.
Description:
This table is the full catalogue of LMXBs presented in the paper,
aggregating both tables A1 and A2. The database can also be reached
via the LMXBWebcat website
(https://binary-revolution.github.io/LMXBwebcat/index.html).
