This GitHub repository contains a catalog of the multi-wavelength properties of 161 Be stars from the Be Star Spectra database that have been detected in X-rays and are present in either the Chandra Source Catalog Release 2.0, XMM-Newton 4XMM Catalog, or Swift 2SXPS Catalog. The catalog and methodology are described in Gobat, et al. (2022).
