SUMMARY OF SEQUENCE NUMBER 900024

Title: DEEP ACIS OBSERVATION OF THE HUBBLE DEEP FIELD

Observer: FEIGELSON

Subject Category: Diffuse Emission and Surveys

Seq: 900024 ObsId: 00957

Long-term Plan bin: 22-Feb-2000

ABSTRACT

This observation of the X-ray background will achieve unprecedented sensitivity to faint X-ray sources, particularly in the 2-10 keV band. Source counts and arcsecond positions for several hundred sources will be obtained with spectra and variability for the stronger sources. Combined with the superb optical images and spectroscopy available for the Hubble Deep Field and flanking fields, and new spectroscopy where needed, this study should considerably elucidate the composition and astrophysics of the high-energy cosmic background radiation.
