J/AstL/26/725 A Preliminary Ver. of a Cat. of HMXB&LMXB Binaries (Guseinov 2000) ================================================================================ A Preliminary Version of a Catalog of High- Low-Mass X-ray Binaries Guseinov O.H., Saygac A.T., Allakhverdiev A., Caliskan H., Ozdemir S., Yerli S.K., Ankay A. =2000AstL...26..725G ================================================================================ Abstract: The aim of this catalogue is to provide basic information on X-ray sources and their counterparts. The catalogue contains positions, information about distances and counterparts, spectral, photometric and timing properties of the X-ray sources in X-ray and optical bands as well as references. The list of references, comments and the catalogue as a whole will be periodically updated to include the most up to date information on all X-ray binaries and guide users to the recent literature on individual sources. In some cases, there is some doubt about the nature of the X-ray source, which has been noted. The sources are ordered according to their right ascension. The first comprehensive catalogue of X-ray binaries was presented by van Paradijs (1995). Our catalogue includes, as X-ray binaries, the point X-ray sources powered by accretion onto neutron stars and blackholes. The weak sources powered by stellar coronae, Wolf-Rayet stars, and cataclysmic variables are not included. Among those X-ray binaries presented in the catalogue there are 78 HMXBs (35 and 5 of which are pulsars and possible pulsars, respectively) and 138 LMXBs (only 9 of which are pulsars), 89 transient and possible transient sources, and 25 possible blackholes (6 HMXBs+19 LMXBs). There are also 43 bursters (all of which are Galactic LMXBs) and 21 QPOs. The present catalogue extends the work by van Paradijs, tabulates further information on the compact objects and their companions as well as attempting a more comprehensive guide to the literature. Where different authors obtained different values for system parameters, we have quoted all parameter values together with the references to guide the reader to the relevant literature for the derivation of the parameters. The catalogue mainly consists of 2 parts, 'hmxb' and 'lmxb', each of which has 4 files: 1) The main catalogue is consisted of 'hmxb_cat' and 'lmxb_cat'. The most recent and/or the most reliable data are given in these files. 2) All of the cross catalogue names of the sources and the names of the optical counterparts are given in 'hmxb_nam' and 'lmxb_nam'. 3) The intensity values, energy bands, dates of observations, names of satellites for these observations, and the references of all of these data are given in 'hmxb_obs' and 'lmxb_obs'. 4) All of the data other than the most recent and/or the most reliable ones are presented in 'hmxb_rem' and 'lmxb_rem'. The values given in intervals are also presented in these two files (e.g. A distance value of 4-5 kpc of a source is given in 'hmxb_rem' or'lmxb_rem' (not in 'hmxb_cat' or 'lmxb_cat') even if it is the most recent and/or the most reliable distance value of that source).
