ROSAT All-Sky Survey CALS Galaxy Groups Catalog
Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)
This table contains the catalog from the ROSAT All-Sky Survey (RASS) Center for Astrophysics (CfA) Loose Systems, or RASSCALS, the largest X-ray and optical survey of low-mass galaxy groups as of its publication date in 2000.
Description
The authors drew 260 groups from the combined Center for Astrophysics and Southern Sky Redshift Surveys, covering one-quarter of the sky to a limiting Zwicky magnitude of m<sub>z</sub> = 15.5.
They detected 61 groups (23%) as extended X-ray sources. The X-ray detections have a median membership of nine galaxies, a median recession velocity cz = 7250 km/s, a median projected velocity dispersion sigma(p) = 400 km/s, and a median X-ray luminosity L(x) = 3 x 10<sup>42</sup> /h(100)<sup>2</sup> erg/s, where the Hubble constant is H(0) = 100 h(100) km/s/Mpc. The data in this table replace the preliminary analysis of the X-ray data which was presented in Mahdavi et al., 1999, ApJ, 518, 69 (CDS Cat. <J/ApJ/518/69>.
