We present the results of a systematic search in 8.5 years of Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer All-Sky Monitor data for evidence of periodicities. The search was conducted by application of the Lomb-Scargle periodogram to the light curves of each of 458 actually or potentially detected sources in each of four energy bands (1.5-3 keV, 3-5 keV, 5-12 keV, and 1.5-12 keV). A whitening technique was applied to the periodograms before evaluation of the statistical significance of the powers. We discuss individual detections with focus on relatively new findings.
