Chandra X-ray point sources in Cen A

Using a wavelet decomposition detection algorithm, we detect 246 individual point sources above a limiting luminosity of ~2*10^36^ergs/s, 82 of which are detected in both data sets where the fields of view overlap. Thirty-eight sources were detected in only one observation but were within the field of view of both pointings, implying considerable variability.

We identify eight foreground stars in our observations. We also identify nine of the sources with known globular clusters in Centaurus A. All previously observed ROSAT sources within our field of view are detected.
