Description:
    We present X-ray data for all entries of the Third Catalogue of Nearby
    Stars (Gliese and Jahreiss, 1991, Cat. V/70) that have been
    detected as X-ray sources in the ROSAT all-sky survey. The catalogue
    contains 1252 entries yielding an average detection rate of 32.9
    percent. In addition to count rates, source detection parameters,
    hardness ratios, and X-ray fluxes we also list X-ray luminosities
    derived from Hipparcos parallaxes.
