VizieR Online Data Catalog: Deep Chandra survey of the SMC. III. HMXBs (Antoniou+, 2019)

To study the high-mass X-ray binary (HMXB) populations in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) in detail, we have been awarded a deep Chandra X-ray Visionary Project (XVP) Program to perform a comprehensive survey of 11 fields, to a depth of 100ks exposure, selected to represent young (<100Myr) stellar populations of different ages. These observations were performed from 2012 December to 2014 February, utilizing the ACIS-I imaging mode.

In addition, we also analyzed three archival observations reaching the same 100ks depth. Two of these fields (PI A. Zezas; observed in 2006) overlap partially with fields from the XVP survey, and the third is centered on NGC 346 (PI M. Corcoran; observed in 2001).

To identify the HMXBs in the complete source catalog, we cross-correlated the locations of 2393 X-ray sources with the OGLE-III catalog of stars in the SMC (Udalski+ 2008AcA....58..329U). See Section 3.
