Abstract

Previous work statistically identified 5492 optical counterparts, with 90% confidence, from among the ≈18,000 X-ray sources appearing in the ROSAT All-Sky Survey Bright Source Catalog. Using low-resolution spectra in the wavelength range 3700-7900 A, we present spectroscopic classifications for 195 of these counterparts which have not previously been classified. Of these 195, we find 168 individual stars of F, G, K, or M type, 6 individual stars of unknown type, 6 double stars, 6 AGNs or galaxies, and 7 unclassifiable objects; the spectra of the 2 remaining objects were saturated.
