EXOSAT lives! Even though ESA's first X-ray astronomy satellitecame to the end of its life in 1986, it continues to produce newresults.Now a completely new catalog has been produced by analyzing the data produced when EXOSAT was "slewing" between different pointed observations. Quite by chance, many well-known X-ray sources were slewed over, but identifying and analysing these detections has been a very laborious process which is only now complete.
