Abstract

We present preliminary results of a search for the optical counterparts of faint but energetic (1-13 keV) X-ray sources observed by the HEAO-1 satellite. The objects we have identified include Active Galactic Nuclei, Cataclysmic Variables, Be Binaries, and RS CVn Systems. A description is also given of the identification techniques and the X-ray database, which represents the most recent flux-limited all-sky survey of hard X-ray sources.
