Abstract:
We discuss the X-ray properties of the radio sources detected in
a deep 1.4 and 5GHz VLA Radio survey of the Extended Chandra Deep
Field-South (E-CDFS). Among the 266 radio sources detected, we find 89
sources (1/3 of the total) with X-ray counterparts in the catalog of
the 1Ms exposure of the central 0.08deg2 or in the catalog of the
250ks exposure of the 0.3deg2 E-CDFS field. For 76 (85%) of these
sources, we have spectroscopic or photometric redshifts, and therefore
we are able to derive their intrinsic properties from X-ray spectral
analysis, namely intrinsic absorption and total X-ray luminosities. We
find that the population of submillijansky radio sources with X-ray
counterparts is composed of a mix of roughly 1/3 star-forming galaxies
and 2/3 active galactic nuclei (AGNs).
Description:
We observed the whole area of the E-CDFS (∼0.3deg2) with the NRAO
VLA for 50hr at 1.4GHz mostly in the BnA configuration in 1999 and
2001 February, and for 32hr at 5GHz mostly in the C and CnB
configurations in 2001. The effective angular resolution is 3.5".
Here we use the radio catalog presented in Paper I (Kellermann et al.,
2008, Cat. J/ApJS/179/71).
In the E-CDFS area, we have two sets of X-ray data. The first is the
1Ms exposure in the central ∼0.1deg2 (Rosati et al.
2002ApJ...566..667R 2002ApJ...566..667R; Giacconi et al. 2002, Cat. J/ApJS/139/369;
Alexander et al. 2003, Cat. J/AJ/126/539), the second one is the
shallower ∼250ks coverage of a square region of 0.28deg2 centered on
the above field (Lehmer et al. 2005, Cat. J/ApJS/161/21).
For the sources identified in the 1Ms exposure of the CDFS, the
spectroscopic identification program carried out with the ESO-VLT is
presented in Szokoly et al. (2004, Cat. J/ApJS/155/271).
