New Results from the X-ray and Optical Survey of the Chandra Deep Field South: The 300ks Exposure

Abstract

We present results from 300 ks of X-ray observations of the Chandra Deep Field South. The field of the four combined exposures is now 0.1035 deg^2 and we reach a flux limit of 10^{-16} erg s^{-1} cm^{-2} in the 0.5-2 keV soft band and 10^{-15} erg s^{-1} cm^{-2} in the 2-10 keV hard band, thus a factor 2 fainter than the previous 120 ks exposure. The total catalogue is composed of 197 sources including 22 sources detected only in the hard band, 51 only in the soft band, and 124 detected in both bands. We have now the optical spectra for 86 optical counterparts. We compute the total contribution to the X-ray background in the 2-10 keV band, which now amounts to (1.45\pm 0.15)*10^{-11} erg cm^{-2} s^{-1} deg^{-2} (after the inclusion of the ASCA sources to account for the bright end) to a flux limit of 10^{-15} erg s^{-1} cm^{-2}. This corresponds to 60-90% of the unresolved hard X-ray background (XRB), given the uncertainties on its actual value.[ABRIDGED]
