AbstractWe present the first X-ray source catalog of the ASCA Medium Sensitivity Survey (AMSS, or the GIS catalog project), constructed from data at Galactic latitudes b>10deg observed between 1993 May and 1996 December. The catalog utilizes 368 combined fields and contains 1343 sources with the detection significance above 5 σ either in the survey bands of 0.7-7 keV, 2-10 keV, or 0.7-2 keV, including target sources. For each source, the ASCA source name, position, a 90% error radius, count rates in the three bands, detection significances, fluxes, and a hardness ratio are provided. With extensive simulations, we carefully evaluate the data quality of the catalog. Results from cross-correlation with other existing catalogs are briefly summarized.
