Gamma-RaySourceDetailedCatalog(Macomb&Gehrels1999)

Published by High Energy Astrophysics Science Archive Research Center | National Aeronautics and Space Administration | Metadata Last Checked: October 30, 2025 | Last Modified: 2025-09-10
This database table contains the slightly revised contents of the detailed Tables 2A - 2G from the General Gamma-Ray Source Catalog of Macomb & Gehrels (1999). It lists details of all known gamma-ray observations within the energy range from 50 keV to ~1 TeV for 314 discrete gamma-ray sources that were listed in Tables 2A - 2G of the published version of this catalog, including all 310 sources listed in the published Summary Table 1, together with 4 sources (2CG 054+01, A0620-00, GX 340+0, and H1822-000) that were listed only in Table 2 of the published catalog but were (presumably accidentally) omitted from Table 1. The positions for the sources in the present database were taken from Table 1 of the General Gamma-Ray Source Catalog. Thus, this table is essentially a compilation of gamma-ray observations of discrete sources as known to the authors as of early 1999. There is another HEASARC database table called the Gamma-Ray Source Summary Catalog (Macomb & Gehrels 1999) or MGGAMMACAT that contains the summary information on these sources that was given in Table 1 of the General Gamma-Ray Source Catalog. As noted above, this is a slightly revised version compared to the published Tables 2A - 2G. The known differences between the HEASARC and published versions are discussed in the HEASARC_Version section of the help documentation. This database table was created by the HEASARC in March 2002 based upon machine-readable versions of Tables 2A-2G of the Macomb & Gehrels (1999) General Gamma-Ray Source Catalog that were supplied by the authors. One duplicate entry was removed from this table in June 2019. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .
