The Einstein observatory stellar X-ray database - An overview
Abstract
The paper presents the motivations for and the methodology followed in building the 'Einstein Observatory Stellar X-ray Database' based on the uniform analysis of all Einstein Observatory Imaging Proportional Counter fields obtained during the life of the HEAO-2 mission. The database has been implemented using the INGRES database system, so that statistical analyses of the properties of the full detection catalog are relatively easily and flexibly accomplished. Some illustrative examples will furnish a general view both of the kind and the amount of the archived information, and of the statistical approach used in analyzing the global properties of the data.
