- Title:
- Chandra Source Catalog

- Date:

- Publisher:
- Chandra X-ray Observatory
- Description:
- The Chandra X-ray Observatory is the U.S. follow-on to the Einstein Observatory. Chandra was formerly known as AXAF, the Advanced X-ray Astrophysics Facility, but renamed by NASA in December, 1998. Originally three instruments and a high-resolution mirror carried in one spacecraft, the project was reworked in 1992 and 1993. The Chandra spacecraft carries a high resolution mirror, two imaging detectors, and two sets of transmission gratings. Important Chandra features are: an order of magnitude improvement in spatial resolution, good sensitivity from 0.1 to 10 keV, and the capability for high spectral resolution observations over most of this range. The Chandra Source Catalog (CSC) includes information about X-ray sources detected in observations obtained using the Chandra X-ray Observatory. Release 2.0 of the catalog includes 317,167 point, compact, and extended sources detected in ACIS and HRC-I imaging observations released publicly prior to the end of 2014. Observed source positions and multi-band count rates are reported, as well as numerous derived spatial, photometric, spectral, and temporal calibrated source properties that may be compared with data obtained by other telescopes. Each record includes the best estimates of the properties of a source based on data extracted from all observations in which the source was detected. The Chandra Source Catalog is extracted from the CXC"s Chandra Data Archive (CDA). The CXC should be acknowledged as the source of Chandra data.

The Chandra Source Catalog (CSC) includes information about X-ray sources detected in observations obtained using the Chandra X-ray Observatory. Release 1.1 of the catalog includes about 138,000 point and compact sources with observed spatial extents less than ~30 arcsec detected in a subset of ACIS and HRC-I imaging observations released publicly prior to the end of 2009. Observed source positions and multi-band count rates are reported, as well as numerous derived spatial, photometric, spectral, and temporal calibrated source properties that may be compared with data obtained by other telescopes. Each record includes the best estimates of the properties of a source based on data extracted from all observations in which the source was detected.

- Description:
- A collection of images of lensed quasars from various sources. Included are images from Maidanak Observatory (ivo://org.gavo.dc/maidanak/res/rawframes/siap), Apache Point Observatory, from the MiNDSTEp project (ivo://org.gavo.dc/danish/red/q), and from the Liverpool Robotic Telescope (ivo://org.gavo.dc/liverpool/res/rawframes/q).

- Description:
- This collection includes optical monitorings of gravitationally lensed quasars. The frames can be used to make light curves of quasar images and field objects. From quasar light curves, one may measure time delays and flux ratios, analyse variability and chromaticity, etc. These direct analyses/measurements are basic tools for different astrophysical studies, e.g., expansion rate of the Universe, mechanism of intrinsic variability in quasars, accretion disk structure, supermassive black holes, dark halos of galaxies (dust, collapsed dark matter, smoothly distributed dark matter,...)
