The Extended Chandra Deep Field-South Survey. Chandra Point-Source   Catalogs
  We present Chandra point-source catalogs for the Extended Chandra Deep Field-South (E-CDF-S) survey. The E-CDF-S consists of four contiguous 250 ks Chandra observations covering an approximately square region of total solid angle ~0.3 deg^2, which flank the existing ~1 Ms Chandra Deep Field-South (CDF-S). The survey reaches sensitivity limits of 1.1 X 10^-16 erg/cm^2/s and 6.7 X 10^-16 erg/cm^2/s for the 0.5-2.0 keV and 2-8 keV bands, respectively. We detect 762 distinct X-ray point sources within the E-CDF-S exposure; 589 of these sources are new (i.e., not previously detected in the ~1 Ms CDF-S). This brings the total number of X-ray point sources detected in the E-CDF-S region to 915 (via the E-CDF-S and ~1 Ms CDF-S observations). Source positions are determined using matched-filter and centroiding techniques; the median positional uncertainty is ~0.35". The basic X-ray and optical properties of these sources indicate a variety of source types, although absorbed active galactic nuclei (AGNs) seem to dominate. In addition to our main Chandra catalog, we constructed a supplementary source catalog containing 33 lower significance X-ray point sources that have bright optical counterparts (R<23). These sources generally have X-ray-to-optical flux ratios expected for normal and starburst galaxies, which lack a strong AGN component. We present basic number-count results for our main Chandra catalog and find good agreement with the ~1 Ms CDF-S for sources with 0.5-2.0 keV and 2-8 keV fluxes greater than 3 X 10^-16 erg/cm^2/s and 1 X 10^-15 erg/cm^2/s, respectively. Furthermore, three extended sources are detected in the 0.5-2.0 keV band, which are found to be likely associated with galaxy groups or poor clusters at z ~ 0.1-0.7; these have typical rest-frame 0.5-2.0 keV luminosities of (1-5) X 10^42 erg/s.
