The $\textit{NuSTAR}$ Extragalactic Surveys: Source Catalogs from the Extended $\textit{Chandra}$ Deep Field-South and the $\textit{Chandra}$ Deep Field-North
Abstract
We present a routinized and reliable method to obtain source catalogs from the () extragalactic surveys of the Extended Deep Field-South (E-CDF-S) and Deep Field-North (CDF-N). The E-CDF-S survey covers a sky area of to a maximum depth of 230 ks corrected for vignetting in the 3--24 keV band, with a total of 58 sources detected in our E-CDF-S catalog; the CDF-N survey covers a sky area of to a maximum depth of 440 ks corrected for vignetting in the 3--24 keV band, with a total of 42 sources detected in our CDF-N catalog that is produced for the first time. We verify the reliability of our two catalogs by crossmatching them with the relevant catalogs from the X-ray observatory, and find that the fluxes of our sources are generally consistent with that of their counterparts. Our two catalogs are produced following the exactly same method and made publicly available, thereby providing a uniform platform that facilitates further studies involving these two fields. Our source-detection method provides a systematic approach for source cataloging in other extragalactic surveys.
