Catalogue of X-ray binaries

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

We present a catalogue of high-mass X-ray binaries.

Description

The catalogue is an updated version of the catalogue of van Paradijs (1995, Cat. <V/90>). The new high-mass catalogue contains 130 sources, 61 new high-mass X-ray binaries in addition to the 69 sources listed in van Paradijs' catalogue.

Most of the new sources are identified to be Be/X-ray binaries. Some sources, however, are only tentatively identified as high-mass X-ray binaries on the basis of a transient character and/or a hard X-ray spectrum. Further identification in other wavelength bands is needed to finally determine the features of these sources.

The new low-mass catalogue contains 150 sources, 31 new low-mass X-ray binaries in addition to the 119 sources listed in van Paradijs' catalogue. The aim of this catalogue is to provide the reader with some basic information on the X-ray sources and their counterparts in other wavelength ranges (UV, optical, IR, radio). In cases where there is some doubt about the high or low-mass nature of the X-ray binary this is mentioned.

Some doubtful cases have not been included in the catalogue although they had been suggested by some authors to be high-mass X-ray binaries, for example GRS 1915+105 and 1WGA J1958.2+3232. Notes about the electronic version of the calatogue: All positions were converted to J2000.0 (the original catalogue lists B1950 or J2000 positions, depending of the source names).
