DOIAbstract
The Chandra COSMOS Survey (C-COSMOS) is a large, 1.8 Ms, Chandra program that has imaged the central 0.5 deg2of the COSMOS field (centered at 10h, +02o) with an effective exposure of \ue2\u88\ubc160 ks, and an outer 0.4 deg2area with an effective exposure of \ue2\u88\ubc80 ks. The limiting source detection depths are 1.9 \uc3\u97 10-16erg cm-2s-1in the soft (0.5-2 keV) band, 7.3 \uc3\u97 10-16erg cm-2s-1in the hard (2-10 keV) band, and 5.7 \uc3\u97 10-16erg cm-2s-1in the full (0.5-10 keV) band. Here we describe the strategy, design, and execution of the C-COSMOS survey, and present the catalog of 1761 point sources detected at a probability of being spurious of <2 \uc3\u97 10-5(1655 in the full, 1340 in the soft, and 1017 in the hard bands)...
