A deep exposure of ~100 ks detects ~400 X-ray sources in the field of view (FOV) of the ACIS array, providing one of the largest X-ray catalogs in a star-forming region as of the date that this was published (February 2002). Coherent studies of the source detection, time variability, and energy spectra were performed. The authors classified the X-ray sources into Class I, Class II, and Class III+MS types based on the J-, H-, and K-band colors of their near-infrared counterparts, and discussed the X-ray properties (temperature, absorption, and time variability) along these evolutionary phases. The results of the X-ray imaging analysis and a correlation with the 2MASS Catalog are given for all the detected X-ray sources. Notice that the sources '[TKT2002] I1' - '[TKT2002] I354' and '[TKT2002] S1' - '[TKT2002] S11' were detected in the total-band image (0.5 - 8.0 keV) images of the ACIS-I and the ACIS-S2 CCDs, respectively, but that source '[TKT2002] I355' - '[TKT2002] I369' and '[TKT2002] S12' - '[TKT2002] S13' were detected only in the hard-band (2.0 - 8.0 keV) images of the ACIS-I and the ACIS-S2 CCDs, and '[TKT2002] I370' - '[TKT2002] I385' were detected only in the soft-band (0.5 - 2.0 keV) image of the ACIS-I. No new source was detected in the soft band image of the ACIS-S2 CCD. This table was created by the HEASARC in January 2007 based on CDS table J/ApJ/566/974, files table1.dat and table2.dat.
