Selection Criteria for ChaMPlane Chandra fields The following are the criteria used to select ChaMPlane target fields from Chandra fields. Chandra pointings with ACIS-I, ACIS-S or HRC imaging (TE) mode; no gratings, no CC mode. Galactic plane fields ( |b| ~< 10 degree) Deep Chandra fields (~>20 ksec) Fields without bright (point or diffuse) X-ray and optical sources or background Relatively low NH.
