Abstract:
   We report on the global properties of the Fe feature seen in the 6-7keV 
   spectra of X-ray sources observed with the EXOSAT Gas Scintillation 
   Proportional Counter (GSPC). Of a total of 431 spectra extracted from the 
   EXOSAT archive, 205 required the addition of a Gaussian emission line to 
   the continuum spectrum in order to obtain satisfactory fits. The majority 
   of these sources are X-ray binaries. The best fit line properties are 
   given for each of these spectra as well as being summarized by source class.
   For the 226 spectra which did not require the addition of an emission 
   feature, upper limit equivalent widths for narrow and broad lines are 
   presented.

Note (1): The source classification according to Gottwald et al (1994).
           The sources are AGN (active galactic nuclei),
           LMXRB (low mass X-ray binaries), HMXRB (high mass X-ray binaries),
           CV (cataclysmic variables), SNR (supernova remnants),
           CG (clusters of galaxies) and UNID (unidentified sources).
Note (2): the start time is given in seconds since 1980 January 1.0
            (to one second precision)
Note (3): The codes have the following meanings.
            -------- = No line fit made
            BB       = Blackbody
            CPL      = Cutoff power law
            L        = Line
            THB      = Thermal Bremsstrahlung
            E        = Edge

Note:
  The EXOSAT GSPC iron line catalog is available as an online database within
  the EXOSAT archive maintained at ESTEC in Noordwijk, Holland. The archive
  can be reached via either decnet or internet:

  set h exosat (username "XRAY")
  telnet exosat.estec.esa.nl (username "XRAY").

  Access the GSPC iron line database (known as FELINE) by using the BROWSE
  program available within the EXOSAT system.

  Contact A.P. Reynolds (areynold@exosat.estec.esa.nl) with queries.
