X-ray and radio sources in binaries

Due to the lack of a unified identification system for XRB we had to select them from five principal catalogues of X-ray sources. After cross-identification and positional cross-matching, a general catalogue of 373 XRB was constructed for the first time.

It contains coordinates, indication of photometric and spectroscopic binarity and extensive cross-identification. In the preparation of the catalogue, a number of XRB classification collisions were resolved, some catalogued identifiers and coordinates were corrected, and duplicated entries in the original catalogues were found.
