Chandra X-ray Center/SAO

钱德拉X射线中心（Chandra X-ray Center，简称CXC）由史密松天体物理台（SAO）为美国国家航空航天局（NASA）运营，负责管理钱德拉X射线天文台的日常运行。该中心的核心任务包括组织天文观测、接收并处理卫星传回的原始数据、生成科学数据产品，并向全球科研人员分发数据和分析软件。钱德拉X射线中心建立了钱德拉数据档案库（Chandra Data Archive）和钱德拉源目录（Chandra Source Catalog），作为永久存储和检索观测数据的关键资源。该中心提供的观测数据广泛用于黑洞、暗物质、暗能量以及超新星遗迹等高能天体物理前沿领域的研究。

The Chandra X-ray Center (CXC) is operated by the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory (SAO) on behalf of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), and is responsible for overseeing the daily operations of the Chandra X-ray Observatory. Its core mandates include coordinating astronomical observations, receiving and processing raw data downlinked from the Chandra satellite, generating scientific data products, and disseminating data and analysis software to researchers worldwide. The CXC has established the Chandra Data Archive and the Chandra Source Catalog, which serve as critical resources for the permanent storage and retrieval of observational data. The observational data provided by the center is widely used in cutting-edge high-energy astrophysics research covering black holes, dark matter, dark energy, supernova remnants, and other related frontier fields.
