Keywords : cosmology observations - diffuse radiation - galaxies: active surveys - X-rays: galaxies

Abstract:We present point-source catalogs for the ~2Ms exposure of the Chandra Deep Field-South (CDF-S) this is one of the two most sensitive X-ray surveys ever performed. The survey covers an area of ~436arcmin^2^ and reaches on-axis sensitivity limits of ~1.9x10^-17^ and ~1.3x10^-16^ergs/cm^2^/s for the 0.5-2.0 and 2-8keV bands, respectively. Four hundred and sixty-two X-ray point sources are detected in at least one of three X-ray bands that were searched; 135 of these sources are new compared to the previous ~1Ms CDF-S detections. Source positions are determined using centroid and matched-filter techniques; the median positional uncertainty is ~0.36". The X-ray-to-optical flux ratios of the newly detected sources ...(more)
Abstract: (hide)
The CDF-S consists of 23 separate observations: The ~1 Ms catalogs for the first 11 observations taken between 1999 October 14 and 2000 December 23 were presented in Giacconi et al., 2002 (Cat. J/ApJS/139/369) and Alexander et al., 2003 (Cat. J/AJ/126/539).The second ~1 Ms exposure consisted of 12 observations taken between 2007 September 20 and 2007 November 4.
