Chandra Source Catalog Release 1 |
| |
Includes information about sources detected in a
subset of ACIS imaging observations released
publicly prior to the end of 2008. Only point and
compact sources, with observed spatial extents
< ~30 arcsec, are included. Multiple observations
of the same field are not co-added
prior to performing source detection. |
| Fall 2009 |
Chandra Source Catalog Release 1.1 |
| |
Extends Release 1 to include public HRC-I imaging
observations, and newly public ACIS observations,
but otherwise retains the same limitations as
Release 1. |
| Winter 2010 |
Chandra Source Catalog Release 2 |
| |
Co-adds multiple observations of the same field
that use the same instrument prior to source
detection, to achieve fainter limiting sensitivities,
as well as providing improvements in extended source
handling |
