Catalog of High-Mass X-Ray Binaries in the Galaxy (4th Ed.)

This table contains the 4th edition of the Catalog of High-Mass X-Ray Binaries (HMXBs) in the Galaxy. The catalog contains source name(s), coordinates, finding charts, X-ray luminosities, system parameters, and stellar parameters of the components and other characteristic properties for 114 HMXBs, together with a comprehensive selection of the relevant literature. The aim of this catalog is to provide some basic information on the X-ray sources and their counterparts in other wavelength ranges (gamma-rays, UV, optical, IR, radio). About 60% of the high-mass X-ray binary candidates are known or suspected Be/X-ray binaries, while 32% are supergiant/X-ray binaries. Some sources, however, are only tentatively identified as high-mass X-ray binaries on the basis of their X-ray properties similar to the known high-mass X-ray binaries. Further identification in other wavelength bands is needed to finally determine the nature of these sources. In cases where there is some doubt about the high-mass nature of the X-ray binary this is noted. Literature published before 1 October 2005 has, as far as possible, been taken into account. Information on the numbers used to code references is available at the URL <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/A+A/455/1165/refs.dat">https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/A+A/455/1165/refs.dat</a> Individual notes on each HMXB are available at the URL <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/A+A/455/1165/notes.dat">https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/A+A/455/1165/notes.dat</a> This database was first created by the HEASARC in January 2001, based on the 2000 version of this catalog. It was updated to the 4th edition in September 2006, based on the <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/A+A/455/1165">CDS catalog J/A+A/455/1165</a>.
