We present ROSAT HRI data of the distant and X-ray luminous (L_x(bol)=2.6^ {+0.4}_{-0.2} 10^{45}erg/sec) cluster of galaxies 3C 295. We fit both a one-dimensional and a two-dimensional isothermal beta-model to the data, the latter one…
We report a $30~\mathrm{ks}$ $Chandra$ ACIS-S survey of the globular cluster M3. Sixteen X-ray sources were detected within the half-light radius ($2.3'$) with $L_X \gtrsim 2.3 \times 10^{31}~\mathrm{erg~s^{-1}}$. We used…
To properly understand the evolution of high-redshift galaxy clusters, both passive and star-forming galaxies have to be considered. Here we study the clustering environment of 21 radio galaxies and quasars at 1<z<2.5 from the third…
We present the X-ray catalog and basic results from our Chandra Large Area Synoptic X-ray Survey (CLASXS) of the Lockman Hole-Northwest field. Our 9 ACIS-I fields cover a contiguous solid angle of ~0.4 sq. deg. and reach fluxes of 5E-16 cgs…
We report results of a Chandra observation of the X-ray luminous star-forming galaxy Arp299 (NGC3690/IC694). We detect 18 discrete X-ray sources with luminosities above ~10^39 erg\s (0.5-8.0 keV band), which contribute ~40% of the total…
We report results of an 18 ks exposure with the ACIS instrument on Chandra of the powerful z = 0.62 radio galaxy 3C 220.1. The X-ray emission separates into cluster gas of emission-weighted kT ~ 5 keV and 0.7-12 keV luminosity (to a radius…
We present an analysis of the X-ray bright point source population in 43 massive clusters of galaxies observed with the Chandra X-ray Observatory. We have constructed a catalog of 4210 rigorously selected X-ray point sources in these…
(Abridged) We present a Chandra observation of the supernova remnant (SNR) 3C 397 (G41.1-0.3) obtained with ACIS-S. Previous studies of this SNR have shown that it harbors a central X-ray `hot spot' suggestive of a compact object associated…
The Chandra COSMOS Survey (C-COSMOS) is a large, 1.8 Ms, Chandra} program that has imaged the central 0.5 sq.deg of the COSMOS field (centered at 10h, +02deg) with an effective exposure of ~160ksec, and an outer 0.4sq.deg. area with an…
Molecular clouds in the Galactic center (GC) reprocess radiation from past outbursts of nearby high-energy sources, generating a bright Fe K-alpha fluorescence at 6.4 keV. The closest clouds to the GC are only $\simeq 1.5$ pc from Sgr A*,…
We present a study of X-ray AGN overdensities in 16 Abell clusters, within the redshift range 0.073<z<0.279, in order to investigate the effect of the hot inter-cluster environment on the triggering of the AGN phenomenon. The X-ray AGN…
Recent deep Chandra surveys of the Galactic center region have revealed the existence of a faint, hard X-ray source population. While the nature of this population is unknown, it is likely that several types of stellar objects contribute.…
Three different M31 disk fields, spanning a range of stellar populations, were observed by Chandra. We report the X-ray point source luminosity function (LF) of each region, and the LF of M31's globular clusters, and compare these with each…
We present a small sample of Chandra X-ray sources selected from the fields of ACIS observations which probe fluxes around the break in the hard band source counts. The targets of these fields include 9 nearby galaxy clusters, 1 distant…
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…
{\it Chandra} Galactic Center Survey detected $\sim 800$ X-ray point-like sources in the $2^{\circ} \times 0.8^{\circ}$ sky region around the Galactic Center. In this paper, we study the spatial and luminosity distributions of these sources…
Sub/millimeter galaxies are a key population for the study of galaxy evolution because the majority of star formation at high redshifts occurred in galaxies deeply embedded in dust. To search for this population, we have performed an…
We report the discovery of possible overdensities of galaxies at z ~ 3.7 in the Chandra Deep Field South (CDF-S). These overdensities are identified from the photometric redshift selected sample, and the BVz-selected sample. One…
A Chandra X-Ray Observatory ACIS-S imaging observation is used to study the population of X-ray sources in the nearby Sab galaxy M81 (NGC 3031). A total of 177 sources are detected with 124 located within the D25 isophote to a limiting…
We report Chandra observations of the Scd galaxy NGC 2139, which is known to host a recently formed (10^7.6 yrs) nuclear star cluster. The star cluster is undetected in X-rays, with an upper bound on 0.5-7 keV luminosity of L_X < 7.1 x…
