1. Chandra Source Catalog
ID:

Title:
Chandra Source Catalog
Short Name:
CSC
Date:
24 Oct 2019
Publisher:
Chandra X-ray Observatory
Description:
The Chandra X-ray Observatory is the U.S. follow-on to the Einstein Observatory and one of NASA"s Great Observatories. 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.

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:
An archive of optical and near-infrared spectra of strongly lensed quasars and the lensing galaxies. The spectra are resolved to about a few Ångstroms and are flux-calibrated. The spectra resulted from deblending the lensed images in bidimensional spectra available from the SSAP service for `ivo://org.gavo.dc/mlqso/q/s <http://dc.zah.uni-heidelberg.de/mlqso/q/s/info>`_.
