Note (1): Clusters:
    G: Galactic Sources
    L: Large Magellanic Cloud
    S: Small Magellanic Cloud
    A: Andromeda Galaxy (M31)
    N: NGC 55
Note (2): Countrates in the ROSAT PSPC (Cat. IX/11) corrected for vignetting,
    i.e. absorbed on-axis count rates. Count rates in the HRI have been
    converted to PSPC rates using a conversion factor of PSPC/HRI = 7.8
    (Greiner, 1996, Lecture Notes in Physics 472, 299)
Note (3): Temperatures for the M31 sources are the maximum blackbody
    temperatures derived from the hardness ratios at the appropriate
    absorbing column (Greiner et al., 1996A&A...312...88G).
Note (4): Type:
    CBSS = close-binary supersoft X-ray source
       N = nova
      Sy = symbiotic binary
      RN = recurrent nova
      CV = cataclysmic variable
      PN = planetary nebula
