Description


In the first of two companion papers on the Orion Nebula Cluster (ONC), the authors presented their analysis of a 63 ks Chandra HRC-I observation that yielded 742 X-ray detections within the 30' x 30' field of view. To facilitate their interpretation of the X-ray image, they compiled a multi-wavelength catalog of nearly 2900 known objects in the region by combining 17 different catalogs from the recent literature. They defined two reference groups: an infrared sample, containing all objects detected in the K band, and an optical sample comprising low-extinction, well-characterized ONC members. They showed for both samples that field object contamination is generally low. Their X-ray sources are primarily low-mass ONC members. The detection rate for optical sample stars increases monotonically with stellar mass from zero at the brown dwarf limit to ~100% for the most massive stars but shows a pronounced dip between 2 and 10 M<sub>sun</sub>. They determined L<sub>X</sub> and L<sub>X</sub>/L<sub>bol</sub> or all stars in their optical sample and utilized this information in their companion paper to study correlations between X-ray activity and other stellar parameters. In particular, the authors assembled an extensive catalog of known X-ray/optical/IR and radio objects that fell within the HRC FOV. In addition to their list of HRC sources and the Chandra source lists of Garmire et al. (2000, <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/AJ/120/1426">CDS Cat. <J/AJ/120/1426></a>) and Schulz et al. (2001, CDS Cat. <J/ApJ/549/441>), they considered 14 catalogs from recent publications, producing a database of nearly 2900 distinct objects reported in at least one of the studies considered. A full list of references is given in the first column of Table 2 of the reference paper, along with a concise classification of the work and the referenced table number(s) from the original work. The HRC on board the Chandra X-Ray Observatory (Weisskopf et al., 2002PASP..114....1W) observed the ONC for 63.2ks on 2000 February 4. The pointing (R.A. = 5h 35m 17s, DE=-5{deg} 23' 16" (J2000.0)) was chosen to place the Trapezium region and the bright O star Theta<sup>1</sup> Ori C in the center of the field of view (FOV). A good fraction of the ONC region was included in the 30' x 30' HRC FOV. This HEASARC table lists the properties of the 742 X-ray sources detected in this observation as presented in the full version of Table 1 of the reference paper. This table was created by the HEASARC in March 2007 based on the CDS table J/ApJ/582/382, file table1.dat. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .
