Scientific paper

ANCHORS is a web based archive of all the point sources observed during Chandra observations of regions of star formation. It is designed to aid both the X-ray astronomer with a desire to compare X-ray datasets and the star formation astronomer wishing to compare stars across the spectrum. To date we have processed all public datasets (80+ observations, 50+ distinct fields) and are reprocessing with improved analysis and greater uniformity. The data consist of X-ray source properties including position, net count rates, flux, hardness ratios, lightcurve statistics and plots. Spectra are fit using several models, with final parameters and plots recorded in the archive. Multi-wavelength images and data are cross-linked to other archives such as 2MASS and SIMBAD. The pipeline processing ensures consistent analysis techniques for direct comparisons among clusters. Results are currently presented on-line. A VO-compliant interface is in development. We will demonstrate the system and solicit users' feedback. This project is supported by Chandra archival grant AR5-6002A and NASA contract NAS8-39073.
