Update History

990914-jer:

           The ROSAT All-Sky Survey Bright Source Catalogue
     is now available.

   - Added background map in FITS format
 
 
990728-jer:
 
   - Released correlation catalogue 1RXSC (available in ftp area).
   - Transferred number of identification candidates from the
       correlation catalogue 1RXSC to the 1RXS main catalogue.
 
 
990722-jer:
 
   - Removed 5 duplicates from field 33028008.
   - Corrected 13 source names in field 33028008.
 
 
990615-jer:
 
   - Corrected sign error for source 33020048_0000:
       old entry:  1RXS J181545.4+164043  273.93958  16.67861 ...
       new entry:  1RXS J181545.4-164043  273.93958 -16.67861 ...

       BTW:  dec = -16.67861 deg would translate to -16d40m42.996s,
             and thus the source name should be 1RXS J181545.4-164042;
             however, the full precision information is
             dec = -16.6786111... deg, which translates to -16d40m43.000s,
             and thus the source name 1RXS J181545.4-164043 is correct.
