摘要:

我们报告了一个中等深度(70千秒),连续0.7平方度,钱德拉调查,在洛克曼孔领域的斯皮策/SWIRE遗产调查与完成,超深VLA调查与深光学和近红外成像在手。主要的动机是区分星暴星系和活动星系核,包括重要的,高度模糊的(log N_H >23)子集。钱德拉探测到了775个X射线源,其极限宽带(0.3-8 keV)通量约为4 E-16 erg/cm^2/s。介绍了X射线谱、通量、硬度比和多波长通量。对数N与对数S的关系与涵盖类似通量范围的以前调查的结果一致。钱德拉和斯皮策的通量极限匹配良好:771(99%)的X射线源具有红外或光学对应物,333具有MIPS 24 μ m检测。有4个仅光学X射线源和4个无可见光/IR对应物。极深(~2.7 μ J rms)VLA数据产生251个(> 4 sigma)射电对应物,占现场X射线源的44%。我们确认,较低的X射线通量源的趋势是更难主要是由于吸收。正如预期,观察到的IR和X射线通量之间没有相关性。光学明亮,1型和红色活动星系核位于不同的区域的IR与X射线通量图,证明了广泛的SED在这个样本中,并提供了潜在的分类/源选择。经典的射电响度定义R_L在选择红色和相对光学微弱的活动星系核的强射电源时是无效的。使用24 μ m与射电流量比(q_24),通常会产生约10%的射电响亮活动星系核(147个中的13个)。

英文摘要:

We report a moderate-depth (70 ksec), contiguous 0.7 sq.deg, Chandra survey, in the Lockman Hole Field of the Spitzer/SWIRE Legacy Survey coincident with a completed, ultra-deep VLA survey with deep optical and near-infrared imaging in-hand. The primary motivation is to distinguish starburst galaxies and AGN, including the significant, highly obscured (log N_H >23) subset. Chandra has detected 775 X-ray sources to a limiting broad band (0.3-8 keV) flux ~4E-16 erg/cm^2/s. We present the X-ray catalog, fluxes, hardness ratios and multi-wavelength fluxes. The log N vs. log S agrees with those of previous surveys covering similar flux ranges. The Chandra and Spitzer flux limits are well matched: 771 (99%) of the X-ray sources have IR or optical counterparts, and 333 have MIPS 24 um detections. There are 4 optical-only X-ray sources and 4 with no visible optical/IR counterpart. The very deep (~2.7 uJy rms) VLA data yields 251 (> 4 sigma) radio counterparts, 44% of the X-ray sources in the field. We confirm that the tendency for lower X-ray flux sources to be harder is primarily due to absorption. As expected, there is no correlation between observed IR and X-ray flux. Optically bright, Type 1 and red AGN lie in distinct regions of the IR vs X-ray flux plots, demonstrating the wide range of SEDs in this sample and providing the potential for classification/source selection. The classical definition of radio-loudness, R_L, is not effective at selecting strong radio sources for red and relatively optically faint AGN. Using the 24 um to radio flux ratio (q_24) results in the usual ~10% radio-loud AGN (13 of 147).
