Calan-Yale Deep Extragalactic Research Survey X-Ray Source Catalog

Metadata Updated: July 11, 2025

The main goal of the Calan-Yale Deep Extragalactic Research (CYDER) Survey X-ray survey is to study serendipitous X-ray sources detected by Chandra in an intermediate flux range (10<sup>-15</sup> to 10<sup>-12</sup> ergs/s) that comprises most of the X-ray background. A total of 267 X-ray sources spread over five archived fields were detected. The log N - log S distribution obtained for this sample is consistent with the results of other surveys. Deep V and I images were taken of these fields in order to calculate X-ray-to-optical flux ratios. Identifications and redshifts were obtained for 106 sources using optical spectroscopy from 8 m class telescopes to reach the optically faintest sources, to the same level as deeper X-ray fields like the Chandra Deep Fields, showing that the nature of sources detected depends mostly on the optical limit for spectroscopy. This table was created by the HEASARC in March 2007 based on the CDS table J/ApJ/621/104, file table4.dat. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .
