Einstein Catalog IPC EMSS Survey

This database table contains information from the Einstein Extended Medium Sensitivity Survey (EMSS) which consists of 835 serendipitous X-ray sources detected at or above 4 times the rms level in 1435 IPC fields with their centers located away from the galactic plane. Their limiting sensitivities range from ~5*10E-14 to ~3*10-12 ergs cm-3 s-1 in the 0.3-3.5keV band. A total area of 778 square degrees of the high galactic latitude sky (|b|>20) has been covered. The analysis has been performed using data from the Rev 1 processing system at the CfA. The resulting EMSS catalog is a flux-limited and homogeneous sample of astronomical objects that can be used for statistical studies. Additional information is available from the HEASARC. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .
