Abstract
      This database table contains the list of all Röntgen Satellite (ROSAT) X-Ray Telescope (XRT) pointing-mode observations for which data sets are available, i.e., it excludes the ROSAT All-Sky Survey observations. Users should consult the RASSMASTER database table for those XRT observations which were made in scanning mode during the ROSAT All-Sky Survey (RASS) phase (30 July 1990 to 25 January 1991, and 3 August 1991 to 13 August 1991). For each observation listed in this table, parameters such as the focal-plane instrument used, the data processing site, and the target name and coordinates are given, as well as the ROSAT Observation Request (ROR) number, the actual and requested exposure times, the date(s) on which the observation took place, etc. For details about the ROSAT instruments, consult the ROSAT Guest Observer Facility (GOF) website at <a href="https://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/rosat/">https://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/rosat/</a>. A list of the available online ROSAT documentation can be found at <a href="https://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/rosat/rosdocs.html">https://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/rosat/rosdocs.html</a>. This table was created by the HEASARC in July 2004 by combining the data from two long-standing HEASARC Browse tables into one master table. It was updated by the HEASARC in March 2022 to add start and end times for the 157 sequence IDs which did not already have start and end times. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .
