Comments
The objects described in this catalog are X-Ray binaries, i.e., semi-detached
binary stars in which matter is transferred from a usually more or less normal star to a
neutron star or black hole. Thus, cataclysmic variables are not included. The tables
provide basic information of the systems, including V magnitude, B-V and U-B colors, X-ray
fluxes, and orbital periods. The tables contain 124 low-mass and 69 high mass X-ray
binaries. Two user-defined symbols are included inthe .sdd file.
