X-Ray-Emitting Stars Identified from the ROSAT All-Sky Survey and the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
The ROSAT All-Sky Survey (RASS) was the first imaging X-ray survey ofthe entire sky. Combining the RASS Bright and Faint Source Catalogsyields an average of about three X-ray sources per square degree.However, while X-ray source counterparts are known to range from distantquasars to nearby M dwarfs, the RASS data alone are often insufficientto determine the nature of an X-ray source. As a result, large-scalefollow-up programs are required to construct samples of known X-rayemitters. We use optical data produced by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey(SDSS) to identify 709 stellar X-ray emitters cataloged in the RASS andfalling within the SDSS Data Release 1 footprint. Most of these arebright stars with coronal X-ray emission unsuitable for SDSSspectroscopy, which is designed for fainter objects (g > 15 [mag]).Instead, we use SDSS photometry, correlations with the Two Micron AllSky Survey and other catalogs, and spectroscopy from the Apache PointObservatory 3.5 m telescope to identify these stellar X-raycounterparts. Our sample of 707 X-ray-emitting F, G, K, and M stars isone of the largest X-ray-selected samples of such stars. We derivedistances to these stars using photometric parallax relationsappropriate for dwarfs on the main sequence, and use these distances tocalculate LX . We also identify a previously unknowncataclysmic variable (CV) as a RASS counterpart. Separately, we usecorrelations of the RASS and the SDSS spectroscopic catalogs of CVs andwhite dwarfs (WDs) to study the properties of these rarer X-ray-emittingstars. We examine the relationship between (fX /fg) and the equivalent width of the Hβ emission line for 46X-ray-emitting CVs and discuss tentative classifications for a subsetbased on these quantities. We identify 17 new X-ray-emitting DA(hydrogen) WDs, of which three are newly identified WDs. We report onfollow-up observations of three candidate cool X-ray-emitting WDs (oneDA and two DB (helium) WDs); we have not confirmed X-ray emission fromthese WDs.Includes observations obtained with the Apache Point Observatory 3.5 mtelescope, which is owned and operated by the Astrophysical ResearchConsortium.
| The N2K Consortium. VII. Atmospheric Parameters of 1907 Metal-rich Stars: Finding Planet-Search Targets
We report high-precision atmospheric parameters for 1907 stars in theN2K low-resolution spectroscopic survey, designed to identify metal-richFGK dwarfs likely to harbor detectable planets. Of these stars, 284 arein the ideal temperature range for planet searches,Teff<=6000 K, and have a 10% or greater probability ofhosting planets based on their metallicities. The stars in thelow-resolution spectroscopic survey should eventually yield >60 newplanets, including 8-9 hot Jupiters. Short-period planets have alreadybeen discovered orbiting the survey targets HIP 14810 and HD 149143.
