Description
This table contains some of the data from the latest release of the Stripe 82 X-ray (82X) survey point-source catalog, which currently covers 31.3 deg<sup>2</sup> of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Stripe 82 Legacy field. In total, 6,181 unique X-ray sources are significantly detected with XMM-Newton (> 5 sigma) and Chandra (> 4.5 sigma). This 31 deg<sup>2</sup> catalog release includes data from XMM-Newton cycle AO 13, which approximately doubled the Stripe 82X survey area. The flux limits of the Stripe 82X survey are 8.7 x 10<sup>-16</sup> erg s<sup>-1</sup> cm<sup>-2</sup>, 4.7 x 10<sup>-15</sup> erg s<sup>-1</sup> cm<sup>-2</sup>, and 2.1 x 10<sup>-15</sup> erg s<sup>-1</sup> cm^=2^ in the soft (0.5 - 2.0 keV), hard (2 - 10 keV), and full (0.5 - 10 keV) bands, respectively, with approximate half-area survey flux limits of 5.4 x 10<sup>-15</sup> erg s<sup>-1</sup> cm<sup>-2</sup>, 2.9 x 10<sup>-14</sup> erg s<sup>-1</sup> cm<sup>-2</sup>, and 1.7 x 10<sup>-14</sup> erg s<sup>-1</sup> cm<sup>-2</sup>, respectively. The authors matched the X-ray source lists to available multi-wavelength catalogs, including updated matches to the previous release of the Stripe 82X survey; 88% of the sample is matched to a multi-wavelength counterpart. Due to the wide area of Stripe 82X and rich ancillary multi-wavelength data, including coadded SDSS photometry, mid-infrared WISE coverage, near-infrared coverage from UKIDSS and VISTA Hemisphere Survey (VHS), ultraviolet coverage from GALEX, radio coverage from FIRST, and far-infrared coverage from Herschel, as well as existing ~30% optical spectroscopic completeness, this study is beginning to uncover rare objects, such as obscured high-luminosity active galactic nuclei at high redshift. The Stripe 82X point source catalog is a valuable data set for constraining how this population grows and evolves, as well as for studying how they interact with the galaxies in which they live. The authors derive the XMM-Newton number counts distribution and compare it with their previously reported Chandra log N - log S relations and other X-ray surveys. Throughout this study, the authors adopt a cosmology of H<sub>0</sub> = 70 km s<sup>-1</sup> Mpc<sup>-1</sup>, Omega<sub>M</sub> = 0.27, and Lambda = 0.73. The XMM-Newton and Chandra X-ray sources were matched with sources in the SDSS, WISE, UKIDSS, VHS, GALEX, FIRST and Herschel databases using the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) method, as discussed in detail in Section 4 of the reference paper. This table contains the list of 1,146 Chandra sources detected in the SDSS Stripe 82. A related table SDSSS82XMM contains the list of 5,220 XMM-Newton sources detected in the SDSS Stripe 82. This table was initially created by the HEASARC in April 2014 based on the machine-readable version of the table ('Properties of SDSS Quasars Detected by Chandra') described in Appendix B1 of the reference paper (LaMassa et al. 2013, MNRAS, 436, 3581) which was obtained from the CDS (their catalog J/MNRAS/436/3581/ file chands82.dat). The present version was created by the HEASARC in January 2017 based on CDS Catalog J/ApJ/817/172 file chandra.dat. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .
