Abstract:
    This paper is a catalog of Seyfert 2 galaxies observed in the 2-10keV
    band (339 flux entries). In total, it contains data on 150 objects;
    for 76 objects, a positive detection is reported, while for the
    remaining sources, 2{sigma} upper limits to the X-ray emission are
    given. Most of the data have been collected from the literature over a
    period starting from 1974 up to the middle of 1995. Accurate searches
    of literature and databases were performed for all objects, and
    frequently spectral fits were reevaluated in order to make the data in
    the catalog uniform and complete. Some unpublished data are also
    included. For six objects, EXOSAT/ME data have been extracted from the
    satellite database and analyzed; the 13 fluxes obtained have been
    added to the present catalog. The compilation of hard X-ray data has
    been complemented with data in the soft (0.1-3keV) X-ray band, as well
    as in ultraviolet (1450A), optical (5500A), infrared (3.5, 12, 25, 60,
    100mm), and radio (6cm) bands. Fluxes of the [O III] {lambda}5007 and
    H{beta} emission lines as well as the Balmer decrement
    H{alpha}/H{beta}, and axial ratio a/b are also given. The present
    database is meant to be a useful tool for the study of the Seyfert 2
    phenomenon in its various aspects.
