File minbar_sources.fits v1.2

The table includes a column bibcode listing the discovery reference. Most of these are copied from Jean in 't Zand's list of 101 X-ray burst @] sources, at http://www.sron.nl/~jeanz/bursterlist.html. The biblabel [@column gives an abbreviated label for the reference, for bibliographic purposes.

The table incorporates information on the column density towards the source, listed in the nH and nH_err columns. These values are taken from Jean in 't Zand's wfcbursts_CATALOGNH_vs6.dat file. The source for the values is given by the bibiographic code (and label) in the columns nH_bibcode and nH_biblabel; for those values which are obtained by other methods, the source is described in the nH_biblabel column.

File bursters.fits v1.0
Created 6 March 2013 by Duncan Galloway <Duncan.Galloway@monash.edu>

This file combines XrBurster_cat.fits, the list of 102 thermonuclear
burst source (supplied by Jerome Chenevez <jerome@space.dtu.dk>) and 

the catalog of low-mass X-ray binaries of Liu et al. 2007 (A&A 469, 807)
accessed via TOPCAT (catalog designator J/A+A/469/807/lmxb).

The matching was performed on the position (RA_OBJ, DEC_OBJ from
XrBursters_cat.fits, and _RAJ2000 & _DEJ2000 from J/A+A/469/807/lmxb)
and allowing a maximum offset of 0.1 degree (360 arcsec). This gives
84 pairs, with 18 sources not matched.

Columns added to the FITS file are
  recno = record number
  NAME_2 = source name
  Separation = great-circle distance between the positions of the
               matched sources [arcsec]
  Type = Source type (one or more of A, B, D, E, G, M, P, R, T, U, Z;
         see Liu et al. for a description)
  Porb = orbital period, where known [h]
  _RAJ2000, _DEJ2000 = position [decimal degrees]
  RAJ2000, DEJ2000 = position [d:m:s]
  VMAG = apparent visual magnitude [mag]
  l_FX = limit flag for FX
  FX = characteristic 2-10 keV X-ray flux  [uJy]
