Carina Nebula Chandra X-Ray Point Source Classes
Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)
The Chandra Carina Complex Project (CCCP) provides a sensitive X-ray survey of a nearby starburst region over > 1 deg<sup>2</sup> in extent.
Description
Thousands of faint X-ray sources are found, many concentrated into rich young stellar clusters. However, significant contamination from unrelated Galactic and extragalactic sources is present in the X-ray catalog.
In their paper, the authors describe the use of a naive Bayes classifier to assign membership probabilities to individual sources, based on source location, X-ray properties, and visual/infrared properties. For the particular membership decision rule adopted, 75% of CCCP sources are classified as members, 11% are classified as contaminants, and 14% remain unclassified. The resulting sample of stars likely to be Carina members is used in several other studies, which appear in the special issue of Astrophysical Journal Supplement (Volume 194, May 2011 Issue) which was devoted to the CCCP.

This table was created by the HEASARC in June 2011 based on the electronic version of Table 5 from the reference paper which was obtained from the ApJS web site. In the input source table, the names were truncated by 3 characters from their complete version. The HEASARC corrected these names, and also obtained the Chandra source positions, using the electronic version of Table 2 from the companion paper (Broos et al. 2011, ApJS, 194, 2: available as the HEASARC Browse table CARINACXO), also obtained from the ApJS web site.
