Notice of eROSITA-DE Data Release 1 for Chandra Proposers

On 31 January 2024, eROSITA-DE issued Data Release 1 (DR1), covering half the sky, from the first six months of the SRG/eROSITA all-sky survey (eRASS1) as described at https://erosita.mpe.mpg.de/dr1/. The average flux sensitivity is about 5e-14 erg/s/cm^2 in the 0.5-2 keV band, but this value varies significantly as a function of ecliptic latitude. The typical PSF HEW is 30 arcsec. Chandra proposers are advised to investigate the potential impacts, if any, of the availability of these eROSITA data on their future Chandra proposals.
