ROSAT Complete Results Archive Sources for the PSPC
Listed in NASA Data Portal
The ROSPSPCTOTAL database table contains a list of sources detected by the Standard Analysis Software System (SASS) in public, unfiltered, pointed PSPC datasets.
Description
In addition to the parameters returned by SASS (like position, count rate, likelihood, etc.) each source in the table has associated with it a set of source and sequence "flags." These flags are provided by the ROSAT data centers in the US, Germany and the UK to help the user of the ROSPSPCTOTAL database table quickly judge the reliability of a given source.
The ROSPSPCTOTAL database table is a superset of the ROSPSPC database table. The ROSPSPC table excludes sources that meet the following parameter criteria: false_det = 'T' or deferred = 'T' or not_checked = 'T'. See the documentation below for descriptions of these parameters.

The catalog consists of all primary source parameters from the automated detection algorithm employed by the SASS. In addition each observation has been quality checked, both by automatic algorithms and by detailed visual inspection. The results of this quality checking are contained as a set of logical-value flags for a set of principal source parameters.
If a source parameter is suspect, the associated flag is set to "TRUE"; parameters with no obvious problems maintain the default, "FALSE", value. This database table was last updated in August 2001.
