XMM-Newton will provide good quality X-ray spectra for over 200 sources with fluxes around the knee of the logN/logS, which are responsible for the bulk of the X-ray background (XRB). The main aim of the Chandra observations is to provide arcsecond, or better, positions, and hence reliable identifications, for the XMM-Newton sources. The ACIS-I observations were arranged in a mosaic of four 30ksec pointings, covering almost all of the 15’ radius XMM-Newton/ROSAT field. We detect 214 Chandra sources above 5 sigma significance, to a limiting flux of ~1.3e-15 erg/cm2/s (0.5-7 keV). Optical counterparts are derived from a Subaru SuprimeCam image reaching to R~27. The very large majority of the Chandra sources have an optical counterpart, with the distribution peaking at 23 | Source: | arXiv, astro-ph/0302553 | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites |
