Listed below are papers resulting from the RIXOS project. For any further information about RIXOS, its aims and achievements, please contact Francisco Carrera.


The main survey paper describes the survey method and presents a catalogue of the RIXOS sources and their optical identifications. Finding charts based on sky survey data are given for each source, supplemented by CCD imaging where necessary.
