Description
This table contains the results of an analysis of a deep, 172 ks Chandra observation of the Large Area Lyman Alpha survey (LALA) Bootes field which was obtained with the Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer (ACIS-I) on board the Chandra X-Ray Observatory. This is one of the deepest Chandra images of the extragalactic sky, with only the 2 Ms Chandra Deep Field North (CDF-N) and the 1 Ms Chandra Deep Field South (CDF-S) observations being substantially deeper. In this table, the X-ray source catalog obtained from this image is presented, along with some results from an analysis of the X-ray source counts and optical identifications. The X-ray image is composed of two individual observations obtained in 2002 and reaches 0.5 - 2.0 and 2.0 - 10.0 keV flux limits of 1.5 x 10<sup>-16</sup> and 1.0 x 10<sup>-15</sup> ergs/cm<sup>2</sup>/s, respectively, for point sources near the aim point. A total of 168 X-ray sources were detected: 160 in the 0.5 - 7.0 keV band, 132 in the 0.5 - 2.0 keV band, and 111 in the 2.0 - 7.0 keV band. Since X-ray source number 122 has two possible optical counterparts, it is listed twice, once for each counterpart, and the total number of entries in this table is this 169. The primary optical data are R-band imaging from the NOAO Deep Wide-Field Survey (NDWFS), with a limiting magnitude of R = 25.7 magnitudes, (Vega, 3-sigma detection level, and a 4" diameter aperture). Optical counterparts within 1.5" or the 3-sigma X-ray positional uncertainties, whichever was larger, were detected above this level in the R band for 144 of the 168 X-ray sources. At least 90% of the optical counterparts should be the correct matches, and, at worst, there might be ~14 false matches. This table was created by the HEASARC in March 2007 based on the CDS table J/AJ/127/213 file table1.dat, This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .
