Abstract
      The authors combined Chandra ACIS observations of the globular cluster 47 Tucanae (47 Tuc) from 2000, 2002, and 2014-2015 to create a deeper X-ray source list and study some of the faint radio millisecond pulsars (MSPs) present in this cluster. This work combined 180 ks of new Chandra ACIS data on 47 Tuc with 370 ks of archival data and used improved algorithms to generate a new source catalog, finding 81 new sources for a total of 370 within the half-mass region (2.79 arcsec) of the cluster. The majority of the newly identified sources are in the crowded core region, indicating cluster membership. The authors associated five of the new X-ray sources with chromospherically active BY Dra or W UMa variables identified by Albrow et al. (2001, <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/ApJ/559/1060">CDS Cat. <J/ApJ/559/1060></a>). See also the related <a href="gc47tuccxo.html">2005 source catalog</a>. This table was created by the HEASARC in September 2020 based upon the <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/MNRAS/472/3706">CDS Catalog J/MNRAS/472/3706</a> files table2.dat, table4.dat, and table5.dat. The optical names from Albrow et al. (2001) were subsequently corrected in October 2020 in order to use the recommendation from the CDS Dictionary of Nomenclature of Celestial Objects.
