Using the Chandra ACIS-I instruments, we have carried out a deep X-ray observation on the Galactic plane region at (l,b) ~ (28.5, 0.0), where no discrete X-ray sources have been known previously. We have detected, as well as strong diffuse…

(abridged) The XMM-Newton survey in the Chandra Deep Field South (XMM-CDFS) aims at detecting and studying the spectral properties of a significant number of obscured and Compton-thick AGN. The large effective area of XMMin the 2--10 and…

The $Chandra$ archival data is a valuable resource for various studies on different topics of X-ray astronomy. In this paper, we utilize this wealth and present a uniformly processed data set, which can be used to address a wide range of…

We present the results of a 200 ks Chandra observation of part of the Groth Strip region, using the ACIS-I instrument. We present a relatively simple method for the detection of point-sources and calculation of limiting sensitivities, which…

We present our first results from 130 ks of X-ray observations obtained with the Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer on the Chandra X-ray Observatory. We reach a flux of 2 X 10^(-16) erg s^(-1) cm^(-2) in the 0.5-2 keV soft band and 2 X…

With ~2 Ms of Chandra exposure, the Chandra Deep Field-North (CDF-N) survey provides the deepest view of the Universe in the 0.5-8.0 keV band. Five hundred and three (503) X-ray sources are detected down to on-axis 0.5-2.0 keV and 2-8 keV…

We present initial results and the source catalog from the NuSTAR survey of the Extended Chandra Deep Field South (hereafter, ECDFS) - currently the deepest contiguous component of the NuSTAR extragalactic survey program. The survey covers…

We present the AEGIS-X survey, a series of deep Chandra ACIS-I observations of the Extended Groth Strip. The survey comprises pointings at 8 separate positions, each with nominal exposure 200ks, covering a total area of approximately 0.67…

(abridged) We present a catalog of 2357 point sources detected during 590 ks of Chandra observations of the 17-by-17 arcminute field around Sgr A*. This field encompasses a physical area of 40 by 40 pc at a distance of 8 kpc. The…

We present a new, ambitious survey performed with the Chandra X-ray Observatory of the 9.3 deg$^2$ Bo\"otes field of the NOAO Deep Wide-Field Survey. The wide field probes a statistically representative volume of the Universe at high…

This study represents the most sensitive Chandra X-ray point source catalogue of M31. Using 133 publicly available Chandra ACIS-I/S observations totalling ~1 Ms, we detected 795 X-ray sources in the bulge, northeast, and southwest fields of…

The Chandra Multi-wavelength Project (ChaMP) is a wide-area (~14 deg^2) survey of serendipitous Chandra X-ray sources, aiming to establish fair statistical samples covering a wide range of characteristics (such as absorbed AGNs, high z…

We present a catalog of 9017 X-ray sources identified in Chandra observations of a 2 by 0.8 degree field around the Galactic center. We increase the number of known X-ray sources in the region by a factor of 2.5. The catalog incorporates…

We report preliminary results of our H-band survey of the Chandra Deep Field South (CDFS). The observations were made using SofI on the NTT, and cover 0.027 square degrees with a 50% completeness limit of H = 20.5, and 0.17 square degrees…

We present optical spectra and near-infrared imaging of a sample of serendipitous X-ray sources detected in the field of Chandra observations of the A2390 cluster of galaxies. The sources have 0.5-7 keV fluxes of 0.6-8 x 10^{-14} erg…

It is assumed that the unresolved fraction of the X-ray background (XRB) consists of a truly diffuse component and a population of the weak sources below the present detection threshold. Albeit these weak sources are not observed directly,…
