摘要:

钱德拉源目录(CSC)是一个通用的虚拟X射线天体物理学设施,它提供了一套精心挑选的一般有用的量,为个别X射线源,并旨在满足基础广泛的科学家群体的需要,包括那些谁可能不太熟悉天文数据分析在X射线制度。CSC的第一个版本包括大约在钱德拉任务的前八年在公共ACIS成像观测的子集中检测到的94,676个不同X射线源的信息。此次发布的星表包括观测空间范围<~ 30“的点源和紧凑源。该目录(1)提供了对所检测源的X射线源属性的最佳估计的访问,具有良好的科学保真度,并直接支持使用单个源数据的科学分析;(2)促进了对X射线源类别的广泛统计属性的分析;以及(3)提供对单个X射线源的校准观测数据和辅助数据产品的有效访问,使得用户可以使用现有工具执行详细的进一步分析。该目录包括检测到的真实X射线源,其通量估计至少是至少一个能带中估计的1 sigma不确定性的3倍,同时将伪源的数量保持在对于100 ks观测每个场<~ 1个伪源的水平。对于每一个检测到的源,CSC提供了常见的列表数量,包括源的位置,范围,多波段通量,硬度比,和变异统计,从观测来源,其中源被检测到。除了这些传统的目录元素,对于每个X射线源,CSC包括一组广泛的基于文件的数据产品,可以交互式操作。

英文摘要:

The Chandra Source Catalog (CSC) is a general purpose virtual X-ray astrophysics facility that provides access to a carefully selected set of generally useful quantities for individual X-ray sources, and is designed to satisfy the needs of a broad-based group of scientists, including those who may be less familiar with astronomical data analysis in the X-ray regime. The first release of the CSC includes information about 94,676 distinct X-ray sources detected in a subset of public ACIS imaging observations from roughly the first eight years of the Chandra mission. This release of the catalog includes point and compact sources with observed spatial extents <~ 30''. The catalog (1) provides access to the best estimates of the X-ray source properties for detected sources, with good scientific fidelity, and directly supports scientific analysis using the individual source data; (2) facilitates analysis of a wide range of statistical properties for classes of X-ray sources; and (3) provides efficient access to calibrated observational data and ancillary data products for individual X-ray sources, so that users can perform detailed further analysis using existing tools. The catalog includes real X-ray sources detected with flux estimates that are at least 3 times their estimated 1 sigma uncertainties in at least one energy band, while maintaining the number of spurious sources at a level of <~ 1 false source per field for a 100 ks observation. For each detected source, the CSC provides commonly tabulated quantities, including source position, extent, multi-band fluxes, hardness ratios, and variability statistics, derived from the observations in which the source is detected. In addition to these traditional catalog elements, for each X-ray source the CSC includes an extensive set of file-based data products that can be manipulated interactively.
