EUVE RAP3: 76 Extreme Ultraviolet Source Detections from 1999-2000

The Third Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer (EUVE) Right Angle Program Catalog contains information on 76 extreme ultraviolet sources, including 63 new detections. NASA HEASARC created this table in September 2011 based on data from observations in 1999 and 2000, covering 7% of the sky. The catalog provides source count rates and identifications across four wavelength bands.

Use Cases

• Classifying EUV source types based on the distribution of early-type stars, late-type stars, and other objects mentioned in the description.
• Analyzing photometric data across the four specified wavelength bands (Lexan/Boron, Al/Ti/C, Ti/Sb/Al, Sn/SiO).
• Cross-referencing and augmenting the total catalog of EUV sources, which this data helps bring to nearly 1200.
• Studying sky coverage and detection patterns from the final years of the EUVE Right Angle Program.

Strengths

• Contains 76 EUV source detections, with 63 being new discoveries.
• Provides a detailed source type breakdown, including 5 early-type stars, 23 late-type stars, and 4 extragalactic objects.
• Observations cover 7% of the sky, offering a specific spatial scope.
• Data is from a defined time period (1999 and 2000), the final years of the RAP.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
