Abstract:
We present the Chandra Multiwavelength Project (ChaMP) X-ray point
source catalog with ∼6800 X-ray sources detected in 149 Chandra
observations covering ∼10deg2. The full ChaMP catalog sample is 7
times larger than the initial published ChaMP catalog. The exposure
time of the fields in our sample ranges from 0.9 to 124ks,
corresponding to a deepest X-ray flux limit of
f0.5-8.0=9x10-16ergs/cm2/s. The ChaMP X-ray data have been
uniformly reduced and analyzed with ChaMP-specific pipelines and then
carefully validated by visual inspection. The ChaMP catalog includes
X-ray photometric data in eight different energy bands as well as
X-ray spectral hardness ratios and colors. To best utilize the ChaMP
catalog, we also present the source reliability, detection
probability, and positional uncertainty.

Global Notes:
Note (G1): Multiple observation ID (ObsID) indicates overlapping fields,
labeled with the same ID (Mult).
Note (G2): Source number assigned by wavdetect as marked in the public
X-ray image of the ChaMP Web site (http://hea-www.harvard.edu/CHAMP)
Note (G3): Positional uncertainty estimated by the 95% confidence level of
the empirical formula (see equation (12) in section 4.2).
Note (G4): Off axis angle from the aimed point of the observation.
