Source Table

This list of 115 thermonuclear burst sources is extracted from the MINBAR source catalog.

The name links to the discovery paper for that source (NASA ADS), and the NH (neutral hydrogen column density) and Porb (orbital period) also links to the reference for the measurement (where available). See below the table for a description, and see also a detailed description of the columns

The full MINBAR sample, including the FITS file source for this list, can be found in the online collection and is described in Galloway et al. 2020, ApJS 249. 32.

The list has been generated by exporting selected columns to a csv file and using the CSVInclude recipe to display as a table.

Below is a description of the table (from the FITS file headers)

File minbar_sources.fits v2.8
Created 6 March 2013 by Duncan Galloway <Duncan.Galloway@monash.edu>
Last modified 26th August 2020

This file combines XrBurster_cat.fits, the list of 102 thermonuclear
burst source (supplied by Jerome Chenevez <jerome@space.dtu.dk>) and
the catalog of low-mass X-ray binaries of Liu et al. 2007 (A&A 469, 807)
accessed via TOPCAT (catalog designator J/A+A/469/807/lmxb).

The file also incorporates newly discovered burst sources since

The matching was performed on the position (RA_OBJ, DEC_OBJ from
XrBursters_cat.fits, and _RAJ2000 & _DEJ2000 from J/A+A/469/807/lmxb)
and allowing a maximum offset of 0.1 degree (360 arcsec). This gives
84 pairs, with 18 sources not matched.

Columns added to the original FITS file are
  DISC = discovery string; 3-letter instrument code & year
  DISC_BIBCODE = ADS bibliographic code for burst activity reference
  DISC_BIBLABEL = bibliographic label for burst activity reference
  ERR_CONF = confidence level for positional error
  POS_METHOD = origin of position (X-ray mission, optical, radio etc.)
  POS_BIBCODE = ADS bibliographic code for position reference
  POS_BIBLABEL = bibliographic label for the paper
  RA_ORIG = Original RA from INTEGRAL source catalog (was RA_OBJ)
  DEC_ORIG = Original Dec from INTEGRAL source catalog (was DEC_OBJ)
  Original error radius from INTEGRAL source catalog (ERR_RAD)
  recno = record number
  NAME_2 = source name
  Separation = great-circle distance between the positions of the
               matched sources [arcsec]
  Type = Source type (one or more of A, B, D, E, G, M, P, R, T, U, Z;
         see Liu et al. for a description)
  Porb = orbital period, where known [h]
  _RAJ2000, _DEJ2000 = position [decimal degrees]
  RAJ2000, DEJ2000 = position [d:m:s]
  VMAG = apparent visual magnitude [mag]
  l_FX = limit flag for FX
  FX = characteristic 2-10 keV X-ray flux  [uJy]

The table includes a column disc_bibcode listing the discovery reference.
Most of these are copied from Jean in 't Zand's list of 101 X-ray burst
sources, at http://www.sron.nl/~jeanz/bursterlist.html. The biblabel
column gives an abbreviated label for the reference, for bibliographic
purposes.

The table incorporates information on the column density towards the
source, listed in the nH and nH_err columns. These values are taken
from Jean in 't Zand's wfcbursts_CATALOGNH_vs6.dat file. The source for
the values is given by the bibiographic code (and label) in the columns
nH_bibcode and nH_biblabel; for those values which are obtained by other
methods, the source is described in the nH_biblabel column.

From version 1.4 onwards, the file also lists the number of bursts,
observations, and the total exposure for the source, currently held
in the Multi-INstrument Burst ARchive (version 0.9).
These quantities are in the columns nburst, nobs, and exp (in ks).
