S. Bowyer et al., A CATALOG OF FAR-ULTRAVIOLET POINT SOURCES DETECTED WITH THE FAUST TELESCOPE ON ATLAS-1, The Astrophysical journal. Supplement series, 96(2), 1995, pp. 461-544
We list the photometric measurements of point sources made by the Far
Ultraviolet Space Telescope (FAUST) when it flew on the ATLAS-1 space
shuttle mission. The list contains 4698 Galactic and extragalactic obj
ects detected in 22 wide-field images of the sky. At the locations sur
veyed, this catalog reaches a limiting magnitude approximately a facto
r of 10 fainter than the previous UV all-sky survey, TDI. The catalog
limit is approximately 1 X 10(-14) ergs s(-1) cm(2) Angstrom, although
it is not complete to this level. We list for each object the positio
n, FUV flux, the error in flux, and where possible an identification f
rom catalogs of nearby stars and galaxies. These catalogs include the
Michigan HD (MHD) and HD, SAG, the HIPPARCOS Input Catalog, the Positi
on and Proper Motion Catalog, the TD1 Catalog, the McCook and Sion Cat
alog of white dwarf stars, and the RC3 Catalog of Galaxies. We identif
y 2239 FAUST sources with objects in the stellar catalogs and 172 with
galaxies in the RC3 catalog. We estimate the number of sources with i
ncorrect identifications to be less than 2%.
