Scientific paper

We report a moderate-depth (70 ksec), 0.6 sq.deg. Chandra survey, the deepest, largest, contiguous area to date, in the Lockman Field of the Spitzer/SWIRE Legacy Survey coincident with a completed, ultra-deep VLA survey with deep optical and near-IR imaging in-hand. The primary motivation for this X-ray survey is to distinguish starbursts and AGN, including the significant, highly obscured (log NH > 22) subset. Chandra has detected 775 X-ray sources in the 0.6 sq. degs. covered by the ACIS-I chips, 761 of which have secure IR and 631 secure optical counterparts, 4 of which are not IR-detected. We present X-ray source properties and take a first look at the range of properties and the optical identifications. We also discuss the population of normal galaxies detected in the X-ray and their multi-wavelength properties.
