The Atlas of Radio/X-Ray Associations (ARXA) is a compendium of all cataloged or APM/USNO-A optical objects which are found to be associated with XMM-Newton, Chandra, RASS, HRI, PSPC or WGACAT X-ray detections, or with NVSS, FIRST or SUMSS radio detections. All detections are listed, plus double radio lobes where found. The source number counts are: <pre> Optical objects - 602,570. NVSS - 266,148 core associations, plus 8309 double lobes. FIRST - 173,383 core associations, plus 12,844 double lobes. SUMSS - 59,138 core associations, plus 2529 double lobes. XMM associations - 57,778. Chandra associations - 32,951. ROSAT RASS - 47,486. ROSAT HRI - 15,523. ROSAT PSPC - 35,607. WGA - 24,226. </pre> Each optical object is given as one entry in this catalog, containing the sky coordinates, the object name (from the literature where available), APM and USNO-A sourced red and blue photometry, redshift, the source catalogs for the name and redshift, the calculated odds that the object is a quasar, galaxy, star, or erroneous association, and the radio & X-ray identifiers, up to 10 of them possible although usually just 1 or 2. This catalog supersedes the previous similar compilation by the same author, the Quasars.org (QORG) Catalog, called QORGCAT in the HEASARC's Browse (see <a href="http://quasars.org/qorg-data.htm">http://quasars.org/qorg-data.htm</a>;).
