Data pubblicazione: | 2016 | Rivista: | THE ASTROPHYSICAL JOURNAL | Numero: | 819 | Fascicolo: | 1 | Da pagina:: | 62 | Abstract: | The COSMOS-Legacy survey is a 4.6 Ms Chandra program that has imaged 2.2 deg<SUP>2</SUP> of the COSMOS field with an effective exposure of ≃ 160 ks over the central 1.5 deg<SUP>2</SUP> and of ≃ 80 ks in the remaining area. The survey is the combination of 56 new observations obtained as an X-ray Visionary Project with the previous C-COSMOS survey. We describe the reduction and analysis of the new observations and the properties of 2273 point sources detected above a spurious probability of 2 × 10<SUP>-5</SUP>. We also present the updated properties of the C-COSMOS sources detected in the new data. The whole survey includes 4016 point sources (3814, 2920 and 2440 in the full, soft, and hard band). The limiting depths are 2.2 × 10<SUP>-16</SUP>, 1.5 × 10<SUP>-15</SUP>, and 8.9 × 10<SUP>-16</SUP> {\text{erg cm}}<SUP>-2</SUP> {{{s}}}<SUP>-1</SUP> in the 0.5-2, 2-10, and 0.5-10 keV bands, respectively. The observed fraction of obscured active galactic nuclei with a column density >10<SUP>22</SUP> cm<SUP>-2</SUP> from the hardness ratio (HR) is ∼50{}<SUB>-16</SUB><SUP>+17</SUP>%. Given the large sample we compute source number counts in the hard and soft bands, significantly reducing the uncertainties of 5%-10%. For the first time we compute number counts for obscured (HR > -0.2) and unobscured (HR < -0.2) sources and find significant differences between the two populations in the soft band. Due to the unprecedent large exposure, COSMOS-Legacy area is three times larger than surveys at similar depths and its depth is three times fainter than surveys covering similar areas. The area-flux region occupied by COSMOS-Legacy is likely to remain unsurpassed for years to come. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12386/26297 | URL: | https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/0004-637X/819/1/62 | ISSN: | 0004-637X | DOI: | 10.3847/0004-637X/819/1/62 | Bibcode ADS: | 2016ApJ...819...62C | Fulltext: | open |
