Initial Results of a Comprehensive Ultrasoft Survey of the Einstein IPC Database: Source List and Confirmation of the Selection Procedure
We have carried out a survey of the entire Einstein IPC database (atotal of 5934 sources) to select objects with strong components ofultrasoft X-ray emission (i.e., emission below 0.5 keV). The selectioncriteria are based on ratios of counts within three broad energy bands(i.e., X-ray ``colors''). A total of 516 objects have been selected,with 202 (39%) having been identified through correlations with otherdatabases. Of the currently identified objects, 45% are active galacticnuclei, 28% are stellar objects, 6% are ``normal'' galaxies and galaxyclusters, and the remaining 21% are ``nonstellar'' Galactic objects suchas cataclysmic variables, pulsars, and white dwarfs. We present adiscussion of the survey selection procedure, the list of selectedsources, and discussions of interesting objects from the aforementionedgroups. We discuss the remarkable success of our rather ``lowresolution'' method of estimating spectral shape and present plans forfollow-up studies of the as yet unidentified sources.
