Abstract:
Of 214 stars in the core of the Pleiades, 99 were detected in X-rays
with the ROSAT PSPC. This catalog lists the characteristics of the
stars taken from the literature, in table1.dat and the rotational and
X-ray characteristics in table5.dat.
Introduction:
The nucleus of the composite catalog used in this study is the catalog
compiled from the published literature for the Einstein investigations
of the Pleiades (Micela et al. 1990). This list has been extended by
the results of recent surveys to a completeness limit of visual
magnitude about 18.

Note on oRA and oDE:
The difference between the position derived from the ROSAT image and
the catalog position of the suggested identification for sources not
in complexes of overlapping sources.
Note on off_axis:
The spatial resolution of ROSAT degrades with distance from the axis.
The accuracy radius for identification is taken as 30" sources within
20' of the axis and 60" for sources between 30' and 50'. Sources
beyond 50' from the axis were not included.
Note on HR:
HR = (counts(0.2-0.9 keV))/(counts(0.9-2.01 keV))
Note on log_Lx:
Computed for assumed distance of 127 pc.
Note on mcpt:
Numbers indicate sources identified with more than one star or un
complexes of overlapping sources. Stars with the same number are
identified with the same X-ray source.
