The Extended Chandra Deep Field-South (ECDFS) survey consists of four Chandra X-Ray Observatory (CXO) ACIS-I pointings and covers ~1100 arcmin² (~0.3 deg²) centered on the original CDF-S field to a depth of approximately 228 ks. This is the largest Chandra survey ever conducted at such depth, and only one XMM-Newton survey reaches a lower flux limit in the hard 2.0-8.0 keV band. The authors detect 651 unique sources: 587 using a conservative source-detection threshold (identified by source_type = 'P' for primary source) and 64 (identified by source_type = 'S' for secondary source) using a lower source-detection threshold. These are combined in this HEASARC representation but were presented as two separate catalogs (Table 4 contained the primary sources, and Table 5 the secondary sources) in the original reference paper. Of the 651 total sources, 561 are detected in the full 0.5-8.0 keV band, 529 in the soft 0.5-2.0 keV band, and 335 in the hard 2.0-8.0 keV band. For point sources near the aim point, the limiting fluxes are approximately 1.7 x 10^-16 and 3.9 x 10^-16 ergs/cm²/s in the 0.5-2.0 and 2.0-8.0 keV bands, respectively. In their paper, the authors present the differential and cumulative flux distributions, which are in good agreement with the number counts from previous deep X-ray surveys and with the predictions from an active galactic nucleus (AGN) population synthesis model that can explain the X-ray background. In general, fainter sources have harder X-ray spectra, consistent with the hypothesis that these sources are mainly obscured AGNs. All nine observations of the ECDFS survey field were conducted with the Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer (ACIS) on board Chandra as part of the approved guest observer program in Cycle 5. Notice that Lehmer et al. (2005, ApJS, 161, 21) conducted a somewhat different analysis on these same data and obtained similar, but not identical results, e.g., Lehmer et al. found 809 total X-ray sources compared to 651 in the present table. This table was created by the HEASARC in April 2009 based on the electronic versions of Tables 4 and 5 from the paper which were obtained from the CDS (their catalog J/AJ/131/2373 files table4.dat and table5.dat).

This table contains the first results of the authors' optical spectroscopy program aimed to provide redshifts and identifications for the X-ray sources in the Extended Chandra Deep Field South (ECDFS). A total of 339 sources (listed herein) were targeted using the IMACS spectrograph at the Magellan telescopes and the VIMOS spectrograph at the VLT. The authors have measured redshifts for 186 X-ray sources, including archival data and a literature search. They find that the active galactic nucleus (AGN) host galaxies have on average redder rest-frame optical colors than nonactive galaxies, and that they live mostly in the "green valley." The dependence of the fraction of AGNs that are obscured on both luminosity and redshift is confirmed at high significance and the observed AGN spatial density is compared with the expectations from existing luminosity functions. These AGNs show a significant difference in the mid-IR to X-ray flux ratio for obscured and unobscured AGNs, which can be explained by the effects of dust self-absorption on the former. This difference is larger for lower luminosity sources, which is consistent with the dust opening angle depending on AGN luminosity. This table was created by the HEASARC in April 2009 based on the electronic version of Table 2 from the Treister et al. (2009) paper obtained from the ApJ web site, except for the source positions which were taken from Virani et al. (2006). The full table from the latter paper is also available in Browse (the ECDFSCXO table). This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

This table contains point-source catalogs for the ~2 Ms exposure of the Chandra Deep Field-South (CDF-S) this is one of the two most sensitive X-ray surveys ever performed. The survey covers an area of ~436 arcmin² and reaches on-axis sensitivity limits of ~1.9 x 10^-17 and ~1.3 x 10^-16 erg cm^-2 s^-1 for the 0.5-2.0 and 2-8 keV bands, respectively. Four hundred and sixty-two X-ray point sources (source_sample = 'Main CDF-S' in this table) are detected in at least one of three X-ray bands that were searched; 135 of these sources are new compared to the previous ~1 Ms CDF-S detections. Source positions are determined using centroid and matched-filter techniques; the median positional uncertainty is ~0.36". The X-ray-to-optical flux ratios of the newly detected sources indicate a variety of source types; ~55% of them appear to be active galactic nuclei, while ~45% appear to be starburst and normal galaxies. This table contains, in addition to the main Chandra catalog, the supplementary catalog of 86 X-ray sources (source_sample = 'CDF-S + E-CDF-S' in this table) in the ~2 Ms CDF-S footprint that was created by merging the ~250 ks Extended Chandra Deep Field-South with the CDF-S; this approach provides additional sensitivity in the outer portions of the CDF-S. This table also contains a second supplementary catalog (source_sample = 'Optically Bright' in this table) of 30 X-ray sources which was constructed by matching lower significance X-ray sources to bright optical counterparts (R < 23.8); the majority of these sources appear to be starburst and normal galaxies. The total number of sources in this table, which contains the main and 2 supplementary catalogs, is thus 578. Optical R-band counterparts and basic optical and infrared photometry are provided for the X-ray sources in the main and supplementary catalogs. The authors also include existing spectroscopic redshifts for 224 of the X-ray sources. The average backgrounds in the 0.5-2.0 and 2-8 keV bands are 0.066 and 0.167 counts Ms^-1 pixel^-1, respectively, and the background counts follow Poisson distributions. The effective exposure times and sensitivity limits of the CDF-S are now comparable to those of the ~2 Ms Chandra Deep Field-North (CDF-N). In their paper, the authors also present cumulative number counts for the main catalog and compare the results to those for the CDF-N. The soft-band number counts for these two fields agree well with each other at fluxes higher than ~2 x 10^-16 erg cm^-2 s^-1, while the CDF-S number counts are up to ~25% smaller than those for the CDF-N at fluxes below ~2 x 10^-16 erg cm^-2 s^-1 in the soft band and ~2 x 10^-15 erg cm^-2 s^-1 in the hard band, suggesting small field-to-field variations. This table was created by the HEASARC in December 2008 based on the electronic version of Tables 2, 5 and 6 from the reference paper which were obtained from the ApJ web site. It was last modified by the HEASARC in July 2011. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

This table contains the combined point-source catalogs for the Extended Chandra Deep Field- South (E-CDF-S) survey. The E-CDF-S consists of four contiguous 250 ks Chandra observations covering an approximately square region of total solid angle ~0.3 square degrees, which flank the existing ~1 Ms Chandra Deep Field-South (CDF-S). The survey reaches sensitivity limits of ~1.1 x 10^-16 and ~6.7 x 10^-16 ergs cm^-2 s^-1 for the 0.5-2.0 and 2-8 keV bands, respectively. 762 distinct X-ray point sources are detected within the E-CDF-S exposure; 589 of these sources are new (i.e., not previously detected in the ~1 Ms CDF-S). This brings the total number of X-ray point sources detected in the E-CDF-S region to 915 (via the E-CDF-S and ~1 Ms CDF-S observations). Source positions are determined using matched-filter and centroiding techniques; the median positional uncertainty is ~0.35". The basic X-ray and optical properties of these sources indicate a variety of source types, although absorbed active galactic nuclei (AGNs) seem to dominate. In addition to the main Chandra catalog, this table contains the supplementary source catalog with 33 lower-significance X-ray point sources that have bright optical counterparts (R < 23 mag). These sources generally have X-ray-to-optical flux ratios expected for normal and starburst galaxies, which lack a strong AGN component. The basic number-count results for the main Chandra catalog are in good agreement with the ~1 Ms CDF-S for sources with 0.5-2.0 and 2-8 keV fluxes greater than 3 x 10^-16 and 1 x 10^-15 ergs cm^-2 s^-1, respectively. This HEASARC table contains 809 entries: 762 entries corresponding to the 762 sources listed in the main catalog (Table 2 of the published paper), 14 sources from the cross-field source list (Table 3) which give properties for sources which were detected in more than one observational sources, e.g. there are two entries for the source with source_number = 367, one entry coming from the main catalog, the other entry from the cross-field catalog, and 33 entries corresponding to the 33 sources in the supplementary, optically bright source catalog (Table 6). The HEASARC has created a new parameter called source_type to identify from which of these 3 original tables any given entry comes from; it is set to 'main', 'crossfield' and 'supplement' for entries from Tables 2, 3, and 6, respectively. This online catalog was created by the HEASARC in January 2006 based on machine-readable versions of tables 2, 3, and 6 from the paper which were obtained from the ApJ website.

This table contains the X-ray source catalogs for the ~7 Ms exposure of the Chandra Deep Field-South (CDF-S), which covers a total area of 484.2 square arcminutes. Utilizing WAVDETECT for initial source detection and ACIS Extract for photometric extraction and significance assessment, the authors have created a main source catalog (entries with source_sample = 'M' in this HEASARC table) containing 1,008 sources that are detected in up to three X-ray bands: 0.5-7.0 keV, 0.5-2.0 keV, and 2-7 keV. A supplementary source catalog entries with source_sample = 'S' in this HEASARC table) is also provided, including 47 lower-significance sources that have bright (K_s <~ 23^m) near-infrared (NIR) counterparts. The authors have identified multiwavelength counterparts for 992 (98.4%) of the 1,008 main-catalog sources, and they have collected redshifts for 986 of these sources, including 653 spectroscopic redshifts and 333 photometric redshifts. Based on the X-ray and multiwavelength properties, the authors have identified 711 active galactic nuclei (AGNs) from the main-catalog sources. Compared to the previous ~4 Ms CDF-S catalogs, 291 of the main-catalog sources are new detections. The observations utilized in this survey have achieved unprecedented X-ray sensitivity with average flux limits over the central ~1 arcmin² region of ~1.9 x 10^-17, 6.4 x 10^-18, and 2.7 x 10^-17 erg cm^-2 s^-1 in the three X-ray bands, respectively. In the reference paper, the authors provide cumulative number-count measurements observing, for the first time, that normal galaxies start to dominate the X-ray source population at the faintest 0.5-2.0 keV flux levels. The highest X-ray source density reaches ~50,500 deg^-2, and 47% +/- 4% of these sources are AGNs (~23,900 deg^-2). The authors adopted a binomial no-source probability value, P_B < 0.007 as the criterion to prune their initial candidate source list and generate a main source catalog, which includes 1,008 sources with a ~97% multiwavelength-identification rate. This adopted P_B threshold will have inevitably rejected real X-ray sources. To recover some of these real sources, the authors created a supplementary source catalog that contains lower-significance X-ray sources that have bright optical/NIR counterparts; the chance of a bright optical/NIR source being associated with a spurious X-ray detection is quite small. A total of 47 candidate CDF-S sources having 0.007 <= P_B < 0.1 are associated with bright, K_s <= 23^m, TENIS sources, where the false-match rate is only 1.7%, and these 47 sources constitute the supplementary catalog. A Galactic column density of N_H,Gal = 8.8 * 10¹⁹ cm^-2 along the line of sight to the CDF-S is assumed in this study. All quoted magnitudes are in the AB system. A cosmology with H₀ = 67.8 km s^-1 Mpc^-1, Omega_M = 0.308, and Omega_Lambda = 0.692 (Planck Collaboration et al. 2016 values) is used to calculate luminosities. This HEASARC table contains the 1,008 sources from the main Chandra source catalog (these entries are identified by the HEASARC-created source_sample parameter being set to 'M' in this table) and the 47 lower-significance sources from the supplementary NIR-bright Chandra source catalog (these entries are identified by the HEASARC-created source_sample parameter being set to 'S' in this table). This table thus has 1,055 entries. This table was created by the HEASARC in March 2017 based upon electronic versions of Tables 4 and 5, the 'Main Chandra Source Catalog' and the 'Supplementary NIR-Bright Chandra Source Catalog', respectively, which were obtained from the ApJS website. Some of the values for the name parameter in the HEASARC's implementation of this table were corrected in April 2018. This is a service provided by

Deep radio observations at 1.4 GHz for the Extended Chandra Deep Field South were performed in 2007 June through September and presented in a first data release (Miller et al. 2008, ApJS, 179, 114). The survey was made using six separate pointings of the Very Large Array with over 40 hr of observation per pointing. In the current study, the authors improve on the data reduction to produce a second data release (DR2) mosaic image. This DR2 image covers an area of about a third of a square degree, reaches a best rms sensitivity of 6 µJy (µJy), and has a typical sensitivity of 7.4 uJy per 2.8" by 1.6" beam. The authors also present a more comprehensive catalog, including sources down to peak flux densities of five or more times the local rms noise, along with information on source sizes and relevant pointing data. In their paper, they discuss in some detail the consideration of whether sources are resolved under the complication of a radio image created as a mosaic of separate pointings, each suffering some degree of bandwidth smearing, and the accurate evaluation of the flux densities of such sources. Finally, the radio morphologies and optical/near-IR counterpart identifications are used to identify 17 likely multiple-component sources so as to arrive at a catalog of 883 radio sources (and also 49 individual components of the 17 multi-component sources), which is roughly double the number of sources contained in the first data release. In order to cover the full E-CDF-S area at near-uniform sensitivity, the authors pointed the VLA at six separate coordinate locations arranged in a hexagonal grid around the adopted center of the CDF-S, viz. RA, Dec (J2000) 03^h 32^m 28.00^s, -27^o 48' 30.0". The observations were spread over many days on account of the low declination of the field and typically amounted to 5 hr of time per calendar date. The details of the individual pointings are:

 Pointing ID R.A. (J2000) DE. (J2000) rms sensitivity for final image ECDFS 1 03:33:22.25 -27:48:30.0 10.5 uJy ECDFS 2 03:32:55.12 -27:38:03.0 9.4 uJy ECDFS 3 03:32:00.88 -27:38:03.0 9.7 uJy ECDFS 4 03:31:33.75 -27:48:30.0 9.5 uJy ECDFS 5 03:32:00.88 -27:58:57.0 10.0 uJy ECDFS 6 03:32:55.12 -27:58:57.0 9.3 uJy 

The images corresponding to the six individual pointings were combined to form the final mosaic image (shown in Figure 1 of the reference paper). This HEASARC table contains the catalog of 883 radio sources (Table 3 in the reference paper) and also the catalog of 49 individual components of the 17 multi-component sources (Table 4 in the reference paper), so that there are a total of 932 entries in the present table. To allow users to easily distinguish these types of entry, the HEASARC created a parameter type_flag which is set to 'S' for the 883 source entries and to 'C' for the 49 component entries. The HEASARC created names for the sources following the standard CDS and IAU recommendations for position-based names and using the prefix of '[MBF2013]' for Miller, Bonzini, Fomalont (2013), the first 3 authors and the date of publication of the reference paper. For the components, we have used the names based on the positions of the parent sources and the suffixes 'A', 'B', etc, in order of increasing J2000.0 RA. Thus, for the multi-component source [MBF2013] J033115.0-275518 which has 3 components, there are 4 entries in this table, one for the entire source, and one for each component, e.g.:

 Name | type_flag | RA (J2000.0) Dec (J2000.0) [MBF2013] J033115.0-275518 | S | 03 31 15.04 | -27 55 18.8 [MBF2013] J033115.0-275518 A| C | 03 31 13.99 | -27 55 19.9 [MBF2013] J033115.0-275518 B| C | 03 31 15.06 | -27 55 18.9 [MBF2013] J033115.0-275518 C| C | 03 31 17.05 | -27 55 15.2 

The 17 sources thought to consist of multiple components associated with a single host object are each listed with a single aggregate integrated flux density. Gaussian fits to the individual components associated

This table contains some of the results from 20 and 6 cm VLA deep observations of the Chandra Deep Field-South (CDF-S), including the Extended CDF-S (E-CDF-S). In the reference paper, the authors discuss the radio properties of 266 cataloged radio sources, of which 198 are above a 20-cm completeness level reaching down to 43 microJanskies (µJy) at the center of the field. Survey observations made at 6 cm over a more limited region cover the original CDF-S to a comparable level of sensitivity as the 20-cm observations. Of 266 cataloged radio sources, 52 have X-ray counterparts in the CDF-S and a further 37 have counterparts in the E-CDF-S area not covered by the 1 Ms exposure. Using a wide range of material, the authors have found optical or infrared counterparts for 254 radio sources, of which 186 have either spectroscopic or photometric redshifts. Three radio sources have no apparent counterpart at any other wavelength. Measurements of the 20-cm radio flux density at the position of each CDF-S X-ray source detected a further 30 radio sources (not included in this table) above a conservative 3-sigma detection limit. X-ray and sub-millimeter observations have been traditionally used as a measure of AGN and star formation activity, respectively. These new observations probe the faint end of both the star formation and radio galaxy/AGN population, as well as the connection between the formation and evolution of stars and SMBHs. Both of the corresponding gravitational and nuclear fusion-driven energy sources can lead to radio synchrotron emission. AGN and radio galaxies dominate at high flux densities. Although emission from star formation becomes more prominent at the microJansky levels reached by deep radio surveys, even for the weakest sources, an apparent significant contribution from low-luminosity AGN as well as from star formation is still found. Notice that are 319 entries in this table corresponding to the 266 catalogued radio sources, due to the fact that some of these sources have multiple components. In such cases, the composite source as well as each of its components are listed as separate entries, e.g., source 7 which has 3 components (A, B and C) has 4 entries in this table. This table was created by the HEASARC in November 2008 based on the electronic version of Table 1 from the reference paper which was obtained from the ApJ web site.

This table contains a sample of 883 sources detected in a deep Very Large Array (VLA) survey at 1.4 GHz in the Extended-Chandra Deep Field South (E-CDFS). The reference paper focuses on the identification of their optical and infrared (IR) counterparts. The authors use a likelihood-ratio technique that is particularly useful when dealing with deep optical images to minimize the number of spurious associations. They find a reliable counterpart for 95% of their radio sources. Most of the counterparts (74%) are detected at optical wavelengths, but there is a significant fraction (21%) that are only detectable in the IR. Combining newly acquired optical spectra with data from the literature, the authors are able to assign a redshift to 81% of the identified radio sources (37% spectroscopic). They also investigate the X-ray properties of the radio sources using the Chandra 4 Ms and 250 ks observations. In particular, the authors use a stacking technique to derive the average properties of radio objects undetected in the Chandra images. The results of their analysis are collected in this new catalog containing the position of the optical/IR counterpart, the redshift information, and the X-ray fluxes. It is the deepest multi-wavelength catalog of radio sources, which will be used for future study of this galaxy population. The E-CDFS was observed at 1.4 GHz with the VLA between 2007 June and September (Miller et al. 2008, ApJS, 179, 114). The mosaic image covered an area of about 34 by 34 arcminutes with near-uniform sensitivity. The typical rms is 7.4 µJy for a 2.8 by 1.6 arcseconds beam. The second data release (N. Miller et al. 2012, in preparation) provides a new source catalog with a 5-sigma point-source detection limit, for a total of 883 sources. The median value of the distribution is 58.5 µJy and the median signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) is 7.6. The authors note that ~ 90% of the sample has a flux density below 1 mJy, a regime where radio-quiet AGNs and star-forming galaxies (SFGs) become the dominant populations This table was created by the HEASARC in November 2012 based on the files table3.dat and table5.dat which were obtained from the ApJS web site.

This table contains the main Chandra source catalog for the 4 megasecond (Ms) Chandra Deep Field-South (CDF-S), which is the deepest Chandra survey to date and covers an area of 464.5 arcmin². It contains 740 X-ray sources that are detected with wavdetect at a false-positive probability threshold of 10^-5 in at least one of three X-ray bands (0.5-8 keV, full band; 0.5-2 keV, soft band; and 2-8 keV, hard band) and also satisfy a binomial-probability source-selection criterion of P < 0.004 (i.e., the probability of sources not being real is less than 0.004); this approach is designed to maximize the number of reliable sources detected. A total of 300 main-catalog sources are new compared to the previous 2 Ms CDF-S main-catalog (the HEASARC CHANDFS2MS table) sources. The authors determined X-ray source positions using centroid and matched-filter techniques and obtained a median positional uncertainty of ~0.42 arcseconds. In their paper, they also provided a supplementary catalog (not included in this HEASARC table), which consists of 36 sources that are detected with wavdetect at a false-positive probability threshold of 10^-5, satisfy the condition of 0.004 < P < 0.1, and have an optical counterpart with R < 24. Multiwavelength identifications, basic optical/infrared/radio photometry, and spectroscopic/photometric redshifts are provided for the X-ray sources in the main and supplementary catalogs. Seven hundred sixteen (~97%) of the 740 main-catalog sources have multiwavelength counterparts, with 673 (~94% of 716) having either spectroscopic or photometric redshifts. The 740 main-catalog sources span broad ranges of full-band flux and 0.5-8 keV luminosity; the 300 new main-catalog sources span similar ranges although they tend to be systematically lower. Basic analyses of the X-ray and multiwavelength properties of the sources indicate that >75% of the main-catalog sources are active galactic nuclei (AGNs); of the 300 new main-catalog sources, about 35% are likely normal and starburst galaxies, reflecting the rise of normal and starburst galaxies at the very faint flux levels uniquely accessible to the 4 Ms CDF-S. Near the center of the 4 Ms CDF-S (i.e., within an off-axis angle of 3'), the observed AGN and galaxy source densities have reached 9800 (+1300,-1100) deg^-2 and 6900 (+1100,-900) deg^-2, respectively. Simulations show that the main catalog is highly reliable and is reasonably complete. The mean backgrounds (corrected for vignetting and exposure-time variations) are 0.063 and 0.178 counts Ms^-1 pixel^-1 (for a pixel size of 0.492 arcseconds) for the soft and hard bands, respectively; the majority of the pixels have zero background counts. The 4 Ms CDF-S reaches on-axis flux limits of ~3.2 x 10^-17, 9.1 x 10^-18, and 5.5 x 10^-17 erg cm^-2 s^-1 for the full, soft, and hard bands, respectively. An increase in the CDF-S exposure time by a factor of ~2-2.5 would provide further significant gains and probe key unexplored discovery space. This HEASARC table comprises Table 3 from the reference paper, the Main Chandra Source Catalog of 740 X-ray sources. The 36 optically bright Chandra sources that were listed in Table 6 of the reference paper are thus not included herein.
