Our goal is to characterize AGN populations by comparing their X-ray and optical classifications. We present a sample of 99 spectroscopically identified X-ray point sources in the XMM-LSS survey which are significantly detected in the…

The Chandra X-ray Observatory has now discovered nearly 10,000 X-ray point sources in the 2 x 0.8 degree region around the Galactic Center (Muno 2009). The sources are likely to be a population of accreting binaries in the Galactic Center,…

We present an analysis of a deep, 172 ks Chandra observation of the Large Area Lyman Alpha Survey (LALA) Bo\"{o}tes field, obtained with the Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer (ACIS-I) on the Chandra X-ray Observatory. This is one of the…

We report here the results of the first Chandra X-Ray Observatory observations of the globular cluster M28 (NGC 6626). 46 X-ray sources are detected, of which 12 lie within one core radius of the center. We show that the apparently extended…

We present the first results from the \xmm Galactic Plane Survey (XGPS). In the first phase of the programme, 22 pointings were used to cover a region of approximately three square degrees between 19\deg -- 22\deg in Galactic longitude and…

In the construction of an X-ray selected sample of galaxy clusters for cosmological studies, we have assembled a sample of 495 X-ray sources found to show extended X-ray emission in the first processing of the ROSAT All-Sky Survey. The…

We briefly report here on our ongoing X-ray spectroscopy and variability analyses of 136 faint X-ray sources discovered in the 2 Ms Chandra Deep Field North observations spanning 1.4x10-15 to 2x10-13 ergs s-1 cm-2. Most sources are…

In the latest data release from the Fermi $\gamma$-ray Space Telescope (the 4th Fermi LAT 14 yr Catalog, or 4FGL), more than 50% of the Galactic sources are yet to be identified. We observed 13 unidentified Fermi LAT sources with the…
