1RXS
1RXS, acronym for the First ROSAT X-ray Survey, is a catalogue of astronomical objects that were visible in the X-ray spectrum from the ROSAT satellite.
Examinations of 1RXS has shown that many sources can be identified, such as old neutron stars, while other entries are "intriguing", according to one researcher.[1]
