Details on Acronym: eFEDS | |
| eFEDS | (eROSITA Final Equatorial-Depth Survey) |
| Write: | <<eFEDS JHHMMSS.s+DDMMSS>> |
| N: | about 33000 |
| Object: | (X) (SIMBAD class: X = X-ray Source) |
| Note: | In November 2019, eROSITA on board of the Spektrum-Roentgen-Gamma (SRG) observatory started to map the entire sky in X-rays. After the four-year survey program, it will reach a flux limit that is about 25 times deeper than ROSAT. During the SRG performance verification phase, eROSITA (https://erosita.mpe.mpg.de) observed a contiguous 140 deg2 area of the sky down to the final depth of the eROSITA all-sky survey (eROSITA Final Equatorial- Depth Survey; eFEDS), with the goal of obtaining a census of the X-ray emitting populations (stars, compact objects, galaxies, clusters of galaxies, and active galactic nuclei) that will be discovered over the entire sky. The name registered here is for eFEDS. |
| Notes: | Already about 45 papers part of an A&A special issue on the eROSITA early data release on the eFEDS field make use of this nomenclature. More will come from the eROSITA collaboration and from the entire astronomy community. |
