AEGIS-X: Chandra deep survey
Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)
We present the EGIS-X survey, a series of deep Chandra ACIS-I observations of the Extended Groth Strip.
Description
The survey comprises pointings at eight separate positions, each with nominal exposure of 200ks, covering a total area of approximately 0.67deg^2^ in a strip of length 2 degrees. We describe in detail an updated version of our data reduction and point-source-detection algorithms used to analyze these data.
A total of 1325 band-merged sources have been found to a Poisson probability limit of 4x10^-6^, with limiting fluxes of 5.3x10^-21^W/m2 in the soft (0.5-2keV) band and 3.8x10^-19^W/m2 in the hard (2-10keV) band. We present simulations verifying the validity of our source-detection procedure and showing a very small, <1.5%, contamination rate from spurious sources. Optical/NIR counterparts have been identified from the DEEP2, CFHTLS, and Spitzer/Infrared Array Camera (IRAC) surveys of the same region.

Using a likelihood ratio method, we find optical counterparts for 76% of our sources, complete to R_AB_=24.1, and, of the 66% of the sources that have IRAC coverage, 94% have a counterpart to a limit of 0.9uJy at 3.6um (m_AB_=23.8). After accounting for (small) positional offsets in the eight Chandra fields, the astrometric accuracy of Chandra positions is found to be 0"8rms; however, this number depends both on the off-axis angle and the number of detected counts for a given source.
