Optical counterparts of HEAO-1 X-ray sources.
Abstract
The authors present preliminary results of a search for the optical counterparts of faint but energetic (1 - 13 keV) X-ray sources observed by the HEAO-1 satellite. The objects they have identified include active galactic nuclei, cataclysmic variables, Be binaries, and RS CVn systems. A description is also given of the identification techniques and the X-ray database, which represents the most recent flux-limited all-sky survey of hard X-ray sources.
