Abstract (from CDS):
Spectroscopic observations of potential counterparts were obtained of all sources down to the survey limit in 64 fields, totalling a sky area of 15.77deg2. Positive optical identifications are made for 94per cent of the 296 sources thus examined. A further 18 fields (4.44deg2), containing 105 sources above the 3x10–14erg.cm–2.s–1 survey limit, are completely optically identified to a higher flux of 8x10–14erg.cm–2.s–1 (0.5-2keV). Optical spectroscopic data are supplemented by deep CCD imaging of many sources to reveal the morphology of the optical counterparts, and objects too faint to register on Sky Survey plates. The faintest optical counterparts have R∼22.
This paper describes the survey method, and presents a catalogue of the RIXOS sources and their optical identifications. Finding charts based on Sky Survey data are given for each source, supplemented by CCD imaging where necessary.
