Errata: The X-Ray Emission Measure (EM) of the Young Stellar Objects (YSOs) in the Rho Ophiuchi (Rho Oph) and Monoceros R2 Dark Clouds (Mon R2)

Errors were made in the calculations of EMs using the best fit normalizations in XSPEC. Lists of the errors and corrections are as follows. (1)Tables 1, 3, and 4 in ApJ, 557, 747 and astro-ph/0104190 (YSOs in Rho Oph): All the EMs in these tables should be multiplied by pi; the log(EM) in the first raw in Table 1, for example, is 52.6(52.2--53.2), not 52.1(51.7--52.7). (2)Figures 7 and 9 in ApJ, 557, 747 and astro-ph/0104190 (YSOs in Rho Oph): The EM plots should be systematically up-shifted by the factor of pi. (3)Table 3 in ApJ, 563, 361 and astro-ph/0108078 (young brown dwarfs in Rho Oph): All the EMs in this table should be multiplied by pi; the log(EM) in the first raw, for example, is 52.1(52.0--52.6), not 51.6(51.5--52.1). (4)Table 1 in ApJ, 567, 423 and astro-ph/0110462 (YSOs in Mon R2): All the EMs in this table should be divided by 10; the log(EM) in the first raw, for example, is 52.5(52.1--52.9), not 53.5(53.1--53.9). All the spectral parameters except EM are unchanged. These errors of EM do not affect any of the conclusions of the relevant papers. In addition, Gregorio-Hetem, J., Montmerle, T., Casanova, S., and Feigelson, E. D.1998, A&A, 331, 193 should be included in the reference list of ApJ, 567, 423 (astro-ph/0110462).

Broad-Band X-Ray Study of a Transient Pulsar RX J0059.2-7138

We report on the results of the ASCA and ROSAT observations on RX J0059.2-7138, a transient X-ray pulsar in the Small Magellanic Cloud. The barycentric pulse period has been precisely determined to be 2.763221 +- 0.000004 s. The pulse shape is almost identical in all of the energy bands. The pulse fraction increases with the photon energy below ~2 keV, while it is nearly constant at ~37% above ~2 keV. The X-ray spectrum has been found to consist of two components. One is dominant above 2 keV, and exhibits sinusoidal pulsations. This component is well described by a typical model found in many X-ray binary pulsars, a power-law of photon index 0.4 with an exponential cut-off at 6.5 keV. The other is dominant below 1 keV and shows no significant pulsation. This component is represented by either a broken power-law with photon indices of 2.6 and 5.1 below and above a break energy of 0.9 keV, or a metal-poor thin-thermal plasma with a temperature of 0.37 keV. The phase-averaged luminosity is ~1E38 erg s^-1 (0.1-10.0 keV) for both components. A hint of oxygen over-abundance is found in the absorbing column, possibly due to circumstellar gas ejected from an evolved companion.
