High galactic latitude RASS X-ray sources. II.

This study supplements the identification program of a complete sample of sources with CR>=0.5cts/s presented previously. Spectroscopic identifications are presented for 70 of 77 sources, 5 sources are identified by other means, and subsidiary information is given for 2 as yet unidentified sources.

In practically all cases, a unique optical counterpart exists. As for the brighter fraction of the sample, the largest source classes are Seyfert 1 galaxies, magnetic cataclysmic variables, and hot white dwarfs. In the Galactic Pole caps at |b|>400, Seyfert galaxies dominate, whereas at intermediate latitudes galactic objects as magnetic cataclysmic variables and white dwarfs become relatively more frequent.
