Abstract:We present results from a Chandra survey of the 9deg^2^ Bootes field of the NOAO Deep Wide-Field Survey (NDWFS). This XBootes survey consists of 126 separate contiguous ACIS-I observations each of approximately 5000s in duration. These unique Chandra observations allow us to search for large-scale structure and to calculate X-ray source statistics over a wide, contiguous field of view with arcsecond angular resolution and uniform coverage. The full 0.5-7keV band n>=4 count list has 3293 point sources. In addition to the point sources, 43 extended sources have been detected, consistent with the depth of these observations and the number counts of clusters. We present here the X-ray catalog for the XBootes survey, including source positions, ...(more)
Abstract: (hide)
The 126 pointings comprising this survey (XBootes) are centered on RA(J2000.0)~14h32m and DE(J2000.0)~34{deg}06' and were completed during March and April of 2003.
