Description:
The ROSAT Bright Survey (RBS, table "rosat.dat") aims to completely
optically identify the 2072 brightest sources detected in the ROSAT
all-sky survey (Cat. IX/10) at galactic latitudes |b|>30deg
(excluding LMC, SMC, Virgo cluster), with countrate above 0.2s^-1^;
this program is 99.5% complete, and a sub-sample of 931 sources with
countrate above 0.2s^-1^ in the hard spectral band between 0.5 and
2.0keV is 100% identified. The total survey area comprises
20391deg^2^ at a flux limit of 2.4x10^-12^erg/cm^2^/s in the
0.5-2.0keV band.
Tables 1 and 3 examine the "RHS" sub-sample of 66 bright point-like
ROSAT survey sources with almost hard PSPC spectra (hardness ratio
HR1>0.5) which could be nearly completely identified by low-resolution
optical spectroscopy with the following breakdown into object classes:
31 Seyfert galaxies (20 Sy1), 22 BL Lac candidates, 5 clusters of
galaxies, 1 cataclysmic variable, and 5 bright stars. Only one object
remained unidentified and one X-ray source was a spurious detection.
