Chandra Proposal Id #03900164

Scientific paper

We propose to extend the Chandra deep survey of the HDF-N and its vicinity. The ultimate goal is to obtain 5 Ms of coverage over the next 5 years; currently we have 1 Ms coverage. Here we propose two public 500 ks observations. This project will fulfill one of Chandra's central design goals and will be a long-lasting legacy of Chandra, laying the groundwork for the next generation of X-ray observatories. We should remain nearly photon limited for point-sources near the aim point. We will study obscured and high-redshift AGN, starbursts, normal galaxies, clusters, groups, and diffuse X-ray emission. The HDF-N field is the ideal region for multiwavelength follow-up studies due to the enormous database already in place. Our ACIS team expertise will be extensively utilized.
