Abstract

Optical identifications for 195 EUV sources located in the ROSAT Wide Field Camera all-sky survey are presented. We list 69 previously unknown EUV-emitting white dwarfs, 114 active stars, 7 new magnetic cataclysmic variables and 5 active galaxies. Several of the white dwarfs have resolved M-type companions, while five are unresolved white dwarf/M-star pairs. Finding charts are given for the optical counterparts.
