We present the ROSAT PSPC pointed and ROSAT All-Sky Survey (RASS) observations and the results of our low and high spectral resolution optical follow-up observations of the T Tauri stars (TTS) and X-ray selected T Tauri star candidates in the region of the high galactic latitude dark cloud MBM12 (L1453-L1454, L1457, L1458). Previous observations have revealed 3 classical T Tauri stars and 1 weak-line T Tauri star along the line of sight to the cloud. Because of the proximity of the cloud to the sun, all of the previously known TTS along this line of sight were detected in the 25 ks ROSAT PSPC pointed observation of the cloud. We conducted follow-up optical spectroscopy at the 2.2-meter telescope at Calar Alto to look for signatures of youth in additional X-ray selected T Tauri star candidates. These observations allowed us to confirm the existence of 4 additional TTS associated with the cloud and at least 2 young main sequence stars that are not associated with the cloud and place an upper limit on the age of the TTS in MBM12 ~ 10 Myr. The distance to MBM12 has been revised from the previous estimate of 65+-5 pc to 65+-35 pc based on results of the Hipparcos satellite. At this distance MBM12 is the nearest known molecular cloud to the sun with recent star formation. We estimate a star-formation efficiency for the cloud of 2-24%. We have also identified a reddened G9 star behind the cloud with Av ~ 8.4-8.9 mag. Therefore, there are at least two lines of sight through the cloud that show larger extinctions (Av > 5 mag) than previously thought for this cloud. This higher extinction explains why MBM12 is capable of star-formation while most other high-latitude clouds are not.
We have started a high resolution optical observation program dedicated to the study of chromospheric activity in weak-lined T Tauri stars (WTTS) recently discovered by the ROSAT All-Sky Survey (RASS). It is our purpose to quantify the phenomenology
This paper reports the results of the analysis of the second ROSAT PSPC survey of M31 performed in summer 1992. We compare our results with those of the first survey. Within the ~10.7 deg^2 field of view, 396 individual X-ray sources are detected in
We have compiled an X-ray catalog of optically selected rich clusters of galaxies observed by the PSPC during the pointed GO phase of the ROSAT mission. This paper contains a systematic X-ray analysis of 150 clusters with an optical richness classifi
The nearly face-on SBc galaxy M83 (NGC 5236) was observed for 25 ksec with the ROSAT PSPC. We detected 13 point-like sources in this galaxy, 10 of which were previously unknown. We measured extended X-ray radiation from almost the whole optically vis
We present a sample of 1744 type 1 active galactic nuclei (AGNs) from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS DR4) spectroscopic catalog with X-ray counterparts in the White-Giommi-Angelini Catalog (WGACAT) of ROSAT PSPC pointed observations. Of 1744 X-ra
