Erratum: ``The ROSAT All-Sky Survey: A Catalog of Clusters of Galaxies in a Region of 1 Steradian around the South Galactic Pole'' (ApJS, 140, 239 [2002])

There are errors in the count rates for 17 of the 186 clusters in the catalog (Table 3). The cause of the error, detected recently during comparison of the catalog with other data sources, was an infrequent software error not revealed during testing. We have reexamined all the data in Table 3 and verified that only the count rates of 17 clusters, and the derived values of temperature, energy flux, and luminosity, were affected. Further, we have recreated all the relevant figures and concluded that these errors had no significant effect on the findings and conclusions of the paper. The number of clusters in the complete sample with a flux limit of 3:0 10 12 ergs cm 2 s 1 in the 0.1–2.4 keV band is reduced from 112 to 110, of which 108 have redshifts. The table presented below is an extract from the print version of the catalog table (Table 3), in which we have corrected the X-ray count rate (col. [4]), temperature (col. [8]), energy flux (col. [9]), and luminosity (col. [10]) for these 17 clusters.
