Abstract

We have been conducting the Chandra Multi-wavelength Plane Survey (ChaMPlane) for the last decade. ChaMPlane is designed to survey the point X-ray sources discovered by the Chandra X-ray Observatory in the galactic plane in order to constrain the X-ray binary population in the Galaxy. This survey includes the data from the Chandra achieve, and the optical and infrared images and spectroscopes we obtained. So far we have observed 74 ChaMPlane fields which cover about 25 square degrees and 295 ACIS observations in the galactic plane (AO1-10). This paper reports our findings towards the Galactic Center.
