 HEASARC
Archive

Overview

This database table contains the Second ROSAT All-Sky Survey Point Source Catalog (2RXS). This is the second publicly released ROSAT catalog of point-like sources obtained from the ROSAT All-Sky Survey (RASS) observations performed with the Position-Sensitive Proportional Counter (PSPC) between June 1990 and August 1991. It is an extended, revised, and combined version of the RASS Bright and Faint Source Catalogs. Utilizing the latest RASS processing, this catalog includes more than 135,000 X-ray detections in the 0.1-2.4 keV energy band down to a likelihood threshold of 6.5.
