New On-line Catalogue of Be/X-ray binaries and candidates (permanently updated version) Natalya V. Raguzova Sternberg Astronomical Institute, Universitetski pr. 13, 119992 Moscow, Russia email:  raguzova@sai.msu.ru Received: Mar 28, 2006;  Accepted: Apr 12, 2006 Dear Colleagues, I present a new on-line catalogue of Be/X-ray binaries and candidates in the Galaxy and in the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds. This catalogue contains more than 140 sources and provides information on names and spectral types of optical components, distances, on spin characteristics of neutron stars, and on orbital and X-ray properties of binary systems. We give brief comments on each object and provide necessary references to original data. This catalogue is an extended and updated version of papers by Raguzova & Popov (2004, 2005). The catalogue database will be continuosly updated. Comments are welcomed. The catalogue is available at http://xray.sai.msu.ru/~raguzova/BeXcat/ REFERENCES Popov, S. B., and Raguzova, N. V. 2004, astro-ph/0405633 Raguzova, N. V. and Popov, S. B. 2005, astro-ph/0505275 Raguzova, N. V. and Popov, S. B. 2005, Astron.
