Abstract

      This is a catalog of galaxies observed in the X-ray band with the Einstein Observatory imaging instruments, the Imaging Proportional Counter (IPC) and the High Resolution Imager (HRI). The catalog comprises 716 observations of 493 galaxies, including those that were targets of pointed observations, and galaxies from the Revised Shapley-Ames (RSA) Catalog of Bright Galaxies and the Second Revised Catalog (RC2) Catalog of Bright Galaxies that were serendipitously included in Einstein fields, plus X-ray data on 4 other galaxies (LMC, SMC, M 31 = NGC 224, and M 32 = NGC 221) taken from the literature, for a total of 720 entries. A total of 450 of these galaxies were imaged well within the instrumental fields, resulting in 238 detections and 212 3-sigma upper limits. The other galaxies were either at the edge of the visible field of view or were confused with other X-ray sources. This database was created by the HEASARC in January 2002 based on <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/ApJS/80/531">CDS Catalog J/ApJS/80/531</a>, tables gxatlas.dat and gxfluxes.dat. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .
