N: 1034+877
Object:(X)  (SIMBAD class: X = X-ray Source)
Stat:is completely incorporated in Simbad
Note:SEXSI is a collaboration between researchers at Caltech and Columbia University to obtain a large sample of Serendipitous Extragalactic X-ray Source Identifications by extracting complete, hard (2.0-10.0keV) X-ray source lists from high Galactic latitude X-ray source lists from high Galactic latitude Chandra Observatory fields, and then to obtain photometric and spectroscopic identifications.
