We present a summary of an identification program of the more than 2000 X-ray sources detected during the ROSAT All-Sky Survey (Voges et al. 1999) at high galactic latitude, |b| > 30 degr, with countrate above 0.2 s-1. This program, termed…

We have found compact, near-nuclear X-ray sources in 21 (54\%) of a complete sample of 39 nearby face-on spiral and elliptical galaxies with available ROSAT HRI data. ROSAT X-ray luminosities (0.2 $-$ 2.4 keV) of these compact X-ray sources…

As part of the GLOSTAR survey we have used the VLA in its B-configuration to observe the part of the Galactic plane between longitudes of 28d and 36d and latitudes from -1d to +1d at the C-band (4--8 GHz). To reduce the contamination of…

We report on results of a 96.7 ks Chandra observation of one of the youngest, most embedded and massive young stellar clusters studied in X-rays - RCW 38. We detect 460 sources in the field of which 360 are confirmed to be associated with…
