EXOSAT/ME Galactic Plane Survey

Published by High Energy Astrophysics Science Archive Research Center | National Aeronautics and Space Administration | Catalog Last Checked: November 10, 2026 at 11:56 PM | Dataset Last Updated: November 05, 2026
This catalog is based on information contained in Warwick et al (1988), MNRAS, 232, 551. The distribution of 2-6 keV x-ray emission in the galactic plane in the first and fourth galactic quadrants has been measured in a series of scanning observations with the medium-energy progportional counters on EXOSAT. The results are presented as contour maps and in the form of a catalogue of 70 discrete sources. Additional references can be found under the reference parameter. Additional information can be obtained upon request from the HEASARC. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .
