We detected 67 point sources in the field of view of the ACIS-S detector. Six of these sources were Ultra-Luminous X-ray Sources, the brightest of which had a luminosity of 5x10^39^erg/s. One of them, with a luminosity of ~1x10^39^erg/s, is coincident with the dynamical center location, which may be a low-luminosity active galactic nucleus. We have produced a table where the positions and main characteristics of the detected sources are reported. A comparison between the positions of the X-ray sources and those detected in NIR or radio indicates no definite counterpart. We have derived a logN-logS relation and a luminosity function. The luminosity function has a slope of 0.71 above a detection limit, which is similar to those found in other starburst galaxies. Diffuse emissions were detected in both soft (0.5-2.0keV) and hard (2.0-10.0keV) energy bands. The spectra of the diffuse component were fitted with two (hard and soft) components. The hard power-law component, with a luminosity of ~4x10^39^erg/s, is likely to have originated by unresolved point sources.</description><source format="bibcode">2005PASJ...57..135I</source><referenceURL>https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/PASJ/57/135</referenceURL><type>Catalog</type><contentLevel>Research</contentLevel><relationship><relationshipType>IsServedBy</relationshipType><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/TAP">TAP VizieR generic service</relatedResource></relationship><relationship><relationshipType>IsServedBy</relationshipType><relatedResource>Conesearch service</relatedResource></relationship><relationship><relationshipType>related-to</relationshipType><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/B/chandra">B/chandra : The Chandra Archive Log (CXC, 1999-)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/ApJS/157/59">J/ApJS/157/59 : Ultraluminous X-ray sources in nearby galaxies (Liu+, 2005)</relatedResource></relationship></content><rights>https://cds.unistra.fr/vizier-org/licences_vizier.html</rights><capability><interface xsi:type="vr:WebBrowser"><accessURL use="full">https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/PASJ/57/135</accessURL><mirrorURL title="VizieR at IUCAA: Pune, India">https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/PASJ/57/135</mirrorURL><mirrorURL title="VizieR at SAAO: SAAO, South Africa">http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/PASJ/57/135</mirrorURL></interface></capability><capability><interface xsi:type="vs:ParamHTTP"><accessURL use="base">https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/PASJ/57/135</accessURL><mirrorURL title="VizieR at IUCAA: Pune, India">https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/PASJ/57/135</mirrorURL><mirrorURL title="VizieR at SAAO: SAAO, South Africa">http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/PASJ/57/135</mirrorURL><queryType>GET</queryType><resultType>text/xml+votable</resultType></interface></capability><capability standardID="ivo://ivoa.net/std/TAP#aux"><interface xsi:type="vs:ParamHTTP" role="std"><accessURL use="base">https://tapvizier.cds.unistra.fr/TAPVizieR/tap</accessURL></interface></capability><capability xsi:type="cs:ConeSearch" standardID="ivo://ivoa.net/std/ConeSearch"><description>Cone search capability for table J/PASJ/57/135/table8 (Main Chandra Point Source Catalog)</description><interface xsi:type="vs:ParamHTTP" role="std"><accessURL use="base">https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/J/PASJ/57/135/table8?</accessURL><mirrorURL title="VizieR at IUCAA: Pune, India">https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/J/PASJ/57/135/table8?</mirrorURL><mirrorURL title="VizieR at SAAO: SAAO, South Africa">http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/J/PASJ/57/135/table8?</mirrorURL><queryType>GET</queryType><resultType>text/xml+votable</resultType></interface><maxSR>180.0</maxSR><maxRecords>50000</maxRecords><verbosity>true</verbosity><testQuery><ra>94.340375</ra><dec>78.3725833</dec><sr>0.005555555555555556</sr></testQuery></capability><coverage><spatial>6/8106-8107</spatial><footprint ivo-id="ivo://ivoa.net/std/moc">https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/moc/J/PASJ/57/135?format=ascii</footprint><waveband>X-ray</waveband></coverage><tableset><schema><name>default</name><table><name>J/PASJ/57/135/table8</name><description>Main Chandra Point Source Catalog</description><column><name>recno</name><description>Record number assigned by the VizieR team.
