Scientific paper

First comprehensive results from an initial processing of the ROSAT Wide Field Camera all-sky survey for cosmic sources of extreme-ultraviolet radiation are presented. The reduction of the survey data has yielded a catalog of 383 relatively bright EUV sources, forming the WFC Bright Source Catalogue. Details of the EUV source positions and count rates are given, as are optical identifications where known. It is found that the log N-log S distributions are unusually flat for the white dwarf stars, but almost Euclidean for the nearby main-sequence late-type stars. The sky distribution of identified white dwarfs is highly nonuniform, suggesting gross variations in the opacity of the interstellar medium within about 100 pc.
