Abstract
Using Chandra archive data we conduct a thorough survey of luminous X-ray sources. We directly analyze about 9400 ACIS Observations and cross-correlate the X-ray sources with 77,000 galaxies within 250 Mpc. The final catalog includes 119 unique luminous X-ray source candidates with L-X > 3 x 10(40) ergs s(-1) from 93 galaxies or 41 HLX candidates with L-X > 1 x 10(41) ergs s(-1) from 35 galaxies. We derive a moderate contamination rate due to foreground or background sources. We also cross-correlate the catalog with FIRST, perform variability and periodicity tests, and analyze one HLX candidate in particular. Our catalog could be a starting point to perform follow-up observations.

Abstract
SP binary composite system can reduce the interfacial tension, has good viscoelasticity, and has similar displacement effect with ASP ternary composite system. In addition, the scaling formation can be weaken because it does not contain alkali. Therefore, it plays a important role in guiding the formulas of SP binary composite system and designing the injection scheme to evaluate the main performance and oil displacement effect of SP binary composite system. Experiments on the main performance evaluation, microscopic simulation model for oil displacement and oil displacement in cores have been carried in this paper, which is intended for the new type of surfactant(HLX-BO1 type)/polymer binary complex system which is applied in SP binary composite flooding test block of Daqing oil field. The emulsification property, adsorption characteristics, stability and rheological property of the SP binary composite system have been evaluated. The oil displacement effect of polymer flooding, surfactant flooding, and SP binary composite flooding have been analyzed in this paper. The evaluation experimental research on SP binary complex system performance shows that: (1)The binary composite system has good viscosity stability and interfacial tension stability. (2)the emulsification time and emulsification degree both increase With the increasing of surfactant concentration. (3)The higher oil content in the oil sand, the greater the surfactant adsorption capacity. (4)The concentration of surfactant has less affect on the apparent viscosity of the polymer solution, while alkali has greater influence on the apparent viscosity of the polymer solution. The oil displacement experimental research on SP binary system shows that the oil displacement effect of SP binary system is significantly better than that of the unitary system of polymer or surfactant alone. The oil displacement effect is well whether SP system is flooded after water flooding or polymer flooding. The average enhanced oil recovery rates of artificial cores in the oil displacement experiment are 17.5% and 10.10% respectively. The average enhanced oil recovery rate of natural cores in the oil displacement experiment after polymer flooding is 9.5%.
