(2) Some X-ray detectors have some sensitivity to ultraviolet light as well as to X-rays, i.e., they have what is called a UV light leak. Particular instruments which are known to have had this feature include the Einstein High Resolution Instrument (HRI), the EXOSAT Low-Energy Telescope Channel Multiplier Array (LET CMA), and the ROSAT HRI. Some objects rich in UV emission, such as stars of spectral types O, B, and A, may thus be listed in source catalogs obtained using these instruments, even though they were detected due to their UV emission rather than any intrinsic X-ray emission. For further information on the Einstein HRI UV leak, see Appendix B of Schmitt et al. (1985, ApJ, 290,307), and on the ROSAT HRI UV leak, see Barbera et al. (2000, ApJ, 545, 449). To estimate the EXOSAT LE UV leak, you can use the FTOOLS utility exoleuv (see http://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/lheasoft/ftools/exosat.html for more information on this task).

Error_Radius
The radius of the 90-percent confidence error circle, in arcseconds.
For the XMMSSC database, we have added the statistical and systematic position
errors (which are given separately in that table) in quadrature in order to
obtain the quoted value. For database tables for which this information is not
explicitly given, the following estimates for the positional uncertainty can be
made: (i) for Einstein IPC databases, a value of about 60 arc seconds should be
approximately correct, except for the IPCSLEW database for which the authors
(Elvis et al.) estimate 72 arc seconds; (ii) for the ASCASIS database, Eric
Gotthelf estimates a typical value of 40 arc seconds, (iii) for the
ROSPSPC and ROSHRI databases, the typical values are 10 - 30 and 4 - 10
arcseconds, respectively, with the larger uncertainties for sources which
were detected at the edges of the fields of view, and (iv) for the XRBCAT and
the HEAO 1 databases, the positions are only very approximate and should, in
general, only be assumed to be accurate to the order of a degree, although some
individual entries from these tables are much more accurate than this value.
