NOTE: This Table is under construction, use at your own risk. Question marks denote values that still need to be filled. ``--'' denotes measurements not available on March 2012. ``I'' stands for intermittent pulsar; ``B'' stands for thermonuclear burster; ``B.O.'' stands for burst oscillations; ``D'' is the distance to each source. References to original work are given but may not be complete.

1 MJD and calendar date when pulsations were discovered (earliest IAUC/ATel/paper-submission date).
2 Reference and error (in arcseconds) for both RA and DEC given here.
3 Frequency of the "break" or cutoff in the power spectrum, flat-topped below that. Highest value measured when pulsations are present, usually close to peak (outburst year between parenthesis when applicable).
4 Absorbing equivalent H column density, preferrably from continuum fits to the soft (CCD) X-ray spectrum in outburst.
5 Maximum observed luminosity in outburst, scaled to given distance when necessary.
6 Quiescent luminosity in the 0.5-10 keV energy range, scaled to given distance when necessary. Ranges (-) correspond to different spectral models assumed while lists (,) correspond to measurements taken at different epochs.
7 Quiescent power law fraction and photon index, when available.
