  "description": "The NGC 2516 Chandra X-Ray Point Source Catalog is the result of a comprehensive study of the Chandra X-ray observations of the young open star cluster NGC 2516. The authors have analyzed eight individual Chandra observations, comprising 5 ACIS and 3 HRC-I observations. They have combined these datasets to achieve the greatest sensitivity, reaching down to a threshold level of log f&lt;sub&gt;X&lt;/sub&gt; = -14.56 (erg/s/cm&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;), or log L&lt;sub&gt;X&lt;/sub&gt; = 28.69 (erg/s) at the 387 pc distance of NGC 2516. Out of 284 X-ray sources detected, 155 are identified with photometric cluster members, with very little ambiguity, another 60 with non-members. There are 4 X-ray sources with two possible optical identifications (one cluster member and one nonmember for each), with no obvious choice between the two candidates. These 4 X-ray sources are listed in this Browse table twice, one for each optical counterpart, hence there are (284 + 4 =) 288 entries. There remain 73 X-ray sources without an optical identification with the authors&#39; optical catalog stars. This Browse table was created by the HEASARC in December 2006, based on CDS table J/ApJ/588/1009, files table4.dat and table5.dat. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .",
