Westerlund 1 Chandra X-Ray Point Source Catalog
Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)
The nature of the X-ray point source population within the young massive cluster Westerlund 1 (Wd 1) is investigated.
Description
Chandra X-ray Observatory (CXO) observations were used to determine the X-ray properties of emitters within Wd 1, while a comprehensive multi-wavelength dataset was employed to constrain their nature. Wd 1 (l=339.5, b=-0.4) was observed with the CXO Advanced CCD Spectrometer Spectroscopic array on 2005 May 22 for 18 ks (sequence 6283) and 2005 June 20 for 42 ks (sequence 5411). 241 sources were found above a sensitivity threshold that corresponded to a 10<sup>-6</sup> chance per PSF element of detecting a spurious source.
X-ray emission from a multitude of different stellar sources within Wd 1, including both evolved high mass and low-mass pre-MS stars, is found. This table was created by the HEASARC in May 2008 based on CDS table J/A+A/477/147 files table1.dat and table3.dat. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .
