The XBootes Chandra Survey Paper II: The X-ray Source Catalog
  We present results from a Chandra survey of the nine square degree Bootes field of the NOAO Deep Wide-Field Survey (NDWFS). This XBootes survey consists of 126 separate contiguous ACIS-I observations each of approximately 5000 seconds in duration. These unique Chandra observations allow us to search for large scale structure and to calculate X-ray source statistics o ver a wide, contiguous field of view with arcsecond angular resolution and uniform coverage. Optical spectroscopic follow-up observations and the rich NDWFS data set will allow us to identify and classify these X-ray selected sources.   Using wavelet decomposition, we detect 4642 point sources with n $\ge$ 2 counts. In order to keep our detections ~99% reliable, we limit our list to sources with n $\ge$ 4 counts.   The full 0.5--7 keV band n $\ge$ 4 count list has 3293 point sources. In addition to the point sources, 43 extended sources have been detected consistent, with the depth of these observations and the number counts of clusters. We present here the X-ray catalog for the XBootes survey, including source positions, X-ray fluxes, hardness ratios and their uncertainties.   We calculate and present the differential number of sources per flux densit y interval, $N(S)$, for the point sources.
