Description
We carried out the first wide-area unbiased survey with the ASCA satellite in the 0.7-10keV band around a north Galactic-pole region covering a continuous area of 7deg^2^ (Large Sky Survey; LSS). To make the best use of ASCA's capabilities, we developed a new source-detection method in which the complicated detector responses are fully taken into account. Applying this method to the entire LSS data independently in the total (0.7-7keV), hard (2-10keV), and soft (0.7-2keV) bands, we detected 107 sources altogether, with sensitivity limits of 6x10^-14^ (0.7-7keV), 1x10^-13^ (2-10keV), and 2x10^-14^ergs/s/cm^2^ (0.7-2keV), respectively. A complete list of the detected sources is presented.
