Master Sources Table


Each distinct X-ray source identified on the sky is represented in the catalog by a single "master source" entry and one or more "per-stack detection" entries, one for each stack in which the source has been detected and by one or more "per-observation detection" entries, one for each observation contribution to the stack in which the source has been detected. Many of the master source properties are populated from the properties of the Best Block (the one with the largest total exposure) from the Bayesian Block Analysis (e.g., aperture photometry).

Note: Source properties in the catalog which have a value for each science energy band (type "double[6]" and "integer[6]" in the table below) have the corresponding letters appended to their names. For example, "flux_aper_b" and "flux_aper_h" represent the background-subtracted, aperture-corrected broad-band and hard-band energy fluxes, respectively.
