摘要:

天鹅座OB 2星协是距离太阳2千秒差距内最大的年轻大质量恒星聚集地,估计包括65颗O型星和数百颗OB星。钱德拉天鹅座OB 2遗产调查是一个大型成像计划,采用钱德拉X射线天文台上的先进CCD成像光谱仪进行。这次测量对天鹅座OB 2星协中心0.5度^2区域和外围0.35度^2区域进行了成像,有效曝光量为120千帕,曝光量为60千帕。在这里,我们描述了调查设计和观测,数据处理和源检测,并提出了一个8,000个X射线点源的目录。测量设计采用了36个高度(约50%)重叠点的网格,这种方法克服了钱德拉的低离轴灵敏度,并在内部0.5度^[2]范围内产生高度均匀的曝光。完整的X射线目录在这里描述,并在网上提供。

英文摘要:

The Cygnus OB2 association is the largest concentration of young and massive stars within 2 kpc of the Sun, including an estimated 65 O-type stars and hundreds of OB stars. The Chandra Cygnus OB2 Legacy Survey is a large imaging program undertaken with the Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer onboard the Chandra X-ray Observatory. The survey has imaged the central 0.5 deg^2 of the Cyg OB2 association with an effective exposure of 120ks and an outer 0.35 deg^2 area with an exposure of 60ks. Here we describe the survey design and observations, the data reduction and source detection, and present a catalog of 8,000 X-ray point sources. The survey design employs a grid of 36 heavily (~50%) overlapping pointings, a method that overcomes Chandra's low off-axis sensitivity and produces a highly uniform exposure over the inner 0.5 deg^2. The full X-ray catalog is described here and is made available online.
