Notes. Columns 3, 7, and 9 provide the average count rates (cts s-1) over the 0.5 − 8.0 keV energy band for the pn, MOS1, and MOS2 detectors, respectively. Columns 6, 8, and 10 indicate the energy bands for which the null hypothesis of a constant count rate is rejected at the 5% level for the pn, MOS1, and MOS2 detectors. The hardness ratios (quoted in Cols. 4 and 5 for the pn instrument only) are defined as HR1 = (M − S)/(M + S) and HR2 = (H − M)/(H + M). The X-ray spectra of the first three objects were discussed in previous papers, those of the five following objects are discussed in detail in this paper and the remainder of the objects are too faint for spectral analysis.
