... astro-ph/0003002 We cross-identified the ROSAT Bright Source Catalog (RBSC) and the NRAO VLA Sky Survey (NVSS) to construct the RBSC-NVSS sample of the brightest X-ray sources (~0.1 counts s^{-1} ~= 10^{-12} ergs cm^-2s^-1 in the 0.1--2.4 keV band) that are also radio sources (S ~= 2.5 mJy at 1.4 GHz) in the 7.8 sr of extragalactic sky with |b| > 15deg and DEC > -40deg. ...

Observations from the HERschel Inventory of the Agents of Galaxy Evolution (HERITAGE) have been used to identify dusty populations of sources in the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds (LMC and SMC). We conducted the study using the HERITAGE catalogs of point sources available from the Herschel Science Center from both the Photodetector Array Camera and Spectrometer (PACS; 100 and 160 ЮМm) and Spectral and Photometric Imaging Receiver (SPIRE; 250, 350, and 500 ЮМm) cameras. ...

... QSO spectra in the ROSAT band are steeper than the background at harder energies, and furthermore at fluxes below 1E-14 ergs/(s cmќ) the quasar source counts flatten off and are replaced by more numerous populations of relatively low red-shift objects, apparently Narrow Emission Line Galaxies (NELG). ... We extracted the luminosity function from ROSAT Deep Survey results, and extrapolated by a factor of 2 - 3 to account for changes expected in the harder XMM band. ...
