... 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. ... We used the more accurate radio positions to make reliable X-ray/radio/optical identifications down to the POSS plate limits. ...

Next: X--ray Quiet PMS Up: Contents Previous: Fits to Evolutionary . The X--ray selected PMS candidates may not constitute a complete list. The primary factor is the sensitivity limit, complicated by the vignetting in the field of the PSPC which was used to make the source list. ... In order to better understand the completeness of the X--ray data, photometry of every star in both regions was undertaken. ... The X--ray quiet sources are distributed evenly across the field (see Figure 8 ). ...
