The catalogue can be used for scientific purposes as long as the above
publication is referenced.
For each source the ROSAT name, the position in equatorial co-ordinates, the
positional error, the source countrate and error, the background countrate,
exposure time, hardness-ratios HR1 and HR2 and errors, extent and likelihood
of extent, and likelihood of detection are provided. For 94% of the sources
visual inspection confirmed the results of the standard processing with
respect to existence and position. The remaining 6% have been analyzed using
interactive methods; these sources have been flagged. Broad band images are
available for a subset of the flagged sources.
A list containing correlations with other catalogues and identifications
will follow soon.
Questions or comments may be directed to survey@rosat.mpe-garching.mpg.de.
In particular we would be grateful if any errors or inconsistencies found in
the data would be reported to this e-mail address.
The ROSAT All-Sky Survey Bright Source Catalogue (1RXS)
Max-Planck-Institut fur extraterrestrische Physik, 85740 Garching, Germany
Abstract
We present the ROSAT All-Sky Survey Bright Source Catalogue (RASS-BSC,
revision 1RXS) derived from the all-sky survey performed during the first
half year of the ROSAT mission in 1990/91. 18,811 sources are catalogued,
with a limiting ROSAT PSPC countrate of 0.05 cts/s in the 0.1-2.4 keV energy
band. The sources have a detection likelihood of at least 15 and contain at
least 15 source photons. At a brightness limit of 0.1 cts/s (8,547 sources)
the catalogue represents a sky coverage of 92%. The typical positional
accuracy is 30 arcsec.
Browsing the catalogue via WWW
Subsets of the catalogue sources - selected by certain properties - may be
retrieved via the
ROSAT Source Browser (also available in a simplified version).
In certain cases, the list provided contains also links to source images.

Retrieving the full catalogue
The ROSAT All-Sky Survey Bright Source Catalogue can be retrieved via your
WWW browser:
1. Select the 'Load to local disk' option of your WWW browser.
2. Open URL

3. Be patient - transmission can take a while (catalogue size is 1 MB).
4. Specify a name for the catalogue file in your local computer
environment (recommended: rass-bsc-1rxs.cat.gz).
Alternatively, the catalogue is accessible via anonymous ftp:
