摘要:

我们提出了一个目录的1415 X射线源确定的诺玛臂区域钱德拉调查(NARCS),其中包括2度x 0.8度的区域方向的诺玛螺旋臂的深度为$\approx$ 20 KS。在这些源中,1130个是在三个能带(0.5-10、0.5-2和2-10 keV)中的至少一个中以$\geq3σ$置信度检测到的点状源,五个具有扩展发射,并且其余的以低显著性检测到。由于大多数源的计数太少,无法进行单独分类,因此根据其分位数属性将其分为五个光谱组。我们分析堆叠光谱的X射线源在每个组内,连同他们的通量,可变性,和红外对应物,以确定在我们的调查中占主导地位的人口。我们发现,$\sim$ 50%的来源是位于1-2千秒差距内的前景来源,这与以前的调查的预期是一致的。大约20%的来源可能位于Scutum-Crux附近和Norma臂附近,而30%则更远,在远Norma臂附近或更远。我们认为,混合物的磁性和COS-CV占主导地位的盾牌,Crux和近诺玛武器,而中间的极性(IP)和高质量的恒星(孤立或在二进制)占主导地位的远诺玛arm. We还提出了累积计数分布的来源,在我们的调查中检测到的硬能带。在远诺玛臂和活动星系核附近的一群非常硬的源支配着硬X射线发射,其强度可低至$f_X\approx10^{-14}$ erg cm $^{-2}$ s $^{-1}$,但在较弱的通量处分布曲线是弯曲的。我们发现观察到的分布和预测基于其他调查之间的良好协议。

英文摘要:

We present a catalog of 1415 X-ray sources identified in the Norma arm region Chandra survey (NARCS), which covers a 2 deg x 0.8 deg region in the direction of the Norma spiral arm to a depth of $\approx$20 ks. Of these sources, 1130 are point-like sources detected with $\geq3σ$ confidence in at least one of three energy bands (0.5-10, 0.5-2, and 2-10 keV), five have extended emission, and the remainder are detected at low significance. Since most sources have too few counts to permit individual classification, they are divided into five spectral groups defined by their quantile properties. We analyze stacked spectra of X-ray sources within each group, in conjunction with their fluxes, variability, and infrared counterparts, to identify the dominant populations in our survey. We find that $\sim$50% of our sources are foreground sources located within 1-2 kpc, which is consistent with expectations from previous surveys. Approximately 20% of sources are likely located in the proximity of the Scutum-Crux and near Norma arm, while 30% are more distant, in the proximity of the far Norma arm or beyond. We argue that a mixture of magnetic and nonmagnetic CVs dominates the Scutum-Crux and near Norma arms, while intermediate polars (IPs) and high-mass stars (isolated or in binaries) dominate the far Norma arm. We also present the cumulative number count distribution for sources in our survey that are detected in the hard energy band. A population of very hard sources in the vicinity of the far Norma arm and active galactic nuclei dominate the hard X-ray emission down to $f_X\approx10^{-14}$ erg cm$^{-2}$ s$^{-1}$, but the distribution curve flattens at fainter fluxes. We find good agreement between the observed distribution and predictions based on other surveys.
