We present the results of a systematic search in 8.5 years of Rossi X-rayTiming Explorer All-Sky Monitor data for evidence of periodicities. The searchwas conducted by application of the Lomb-Scargle periodogram to the lightcurves of each of 458 actually or potentially detected sources in each of fourenergy bands (1.5-3 keV, 3-5 keV, 5-12 keV, and 1.5-12 keV). A whiteningtechnique was applied to the periodograms before evaluation of the statisticalsignificance of the powers. We discuss individual detections with focus onrelatively new findings.Comment: 61 pages, 32 figures, accepted for publication in ApJ
