XMM obs. of two regions west to {kappa} Ori

Description:
X-rays are a powerful probe of activity in early stages of star formation. They allow us to identify young stars even after they have lost the IR signatures of circumstellar disks and provide constraints on their distance. Here, we report on XMM-Newton observations that detect 121 young stellar objects (YSOs) in two fields between L1641S and {kappa} Ori. These observations extend the Survey of Orion A with XMM and Spitzer (SOXS). The YSOs are contained in a ring of gas and dust apparent at millimeter wavelengths, and in far-IR and near-IR surveys. The X-ray luminosity function of the YSOs detected in the two fields indicates a distance of 250-280pc, much closer than the Orion A cloud and similar to distance estimates of {kappa} Ori. We propose that the ring is a 5-8pc diameter shell that has been swept up by {kappa} Ori. This ring contains several groups of stars detected by Spitzer and WISE including one surrounding the Herbig Ae/Be stars V1818 Ori. In this interpretation, the {kappa} Ori ring is one of several shells swept up by massive stars within the Orion Eridanus Superbubble and is unrelated to the southern portion of OrionA/L1641S.

XMMOMCDFS catalogue

Description:
The XMM-Newton X-ray observatory has performed repeated observations of the CDFS in 33 epochs (2001-2010) through the XMM-CDFS Deep Survey. During the X-ray observations, XMM-OM targeted the central 17x17arcmin^2^ region of the X-ray field of view, providing simultaneous optical/UV coverage of the CDFS. The resulting set of data can be taken into account to build an XMM-OM catalogue of the CDFS, filling the UV spectral coverage between the optical surveys and GALEX observations. We present the UV catalogue of the XMM-CDFS Deep Survey. Its main purpose is to provide complementary UV average photometric measurements of known optical/UV sources in the CDFS, taking advantage of the unique characteristics of the survey. The data reduction is intended also to improve the standard source detection on individual observations, by cataloguing faint sources through the stacking of their exposure images. We reprocessed the XMM-OM data of the survey and we stacked the exposures from consecutive observations using the standard SAS tools to process the data obtained during single observations. Average measurements of detections with SAS good quality flags from individual observations and from stacked images have been joined to compile the catalogue. Sources have been validated through the cross-identification within the EIS and COMBO-17 surveys. Photometric data of 1129 CDFS sources are provided into the catalogue, and optical/UV/X-ray photometric and spectroscopic information from other surveys are also included. The stacking extends the detection limits by ~1 mag in the three UV bands, contributing 30% of the catalogued UV sources. The comparison with the available measurements in similar spectral bands confirms the validity of the XMM-OM calibration. The combined COMBO-17/X-ray classification of the "intermediate" sources (e.g. optically diluted and/or X-ray absorbed AGN) is also discussed.

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
SUSS5.0 is a new 2020 release of the XMM OM Serendipitous Ultraviolet Source Survey catalogue. his release is largely an increment of the previous XMM-OM-SUSS4.1 release but includes flagging of sources affected by a patch of reduced sensitivity near the centre of the OM field of view. The catalogue was compiled for the Optical Monitor instrument on board the ESA XMM Newton observatory. This version, the 5th release of the catalogue, spans the period of observations from XMM-Newton revolution 34 (February 2000) to revolution 3704 (February 2020). A detailed description of the Catalogue can be found at https://www.ucl.ac.uk/mssl/research-projects/2018/dec/xmm-newton. A refereed paper on the first version can be found in Page M.J. et al. (2012MNRAS.426..903P). In addition to covering a larger observation period, this fifth release includes flagging of sources affected by a patch of reduced sensitivity near the boresight, caused by erroneously V-filter exposures during an observation of Jupiter in July 2017 (revolution 3224). All data have been fully processed at the European Space Astronomy Centre (ESAC, Madrid, Spain) using the XMM Science Analysis Software (SAS) system version 18.0. The number of observations (OBSIDs) included in the catalogue is 10,628. The total number of entries in this release is 8,863,922. They correspond to 5,965,434 sources, of which 1,120,754 have multiple entries in the source table, corresponding to different observations. The Catalogue is a FITS file consisting of two tables (please note that users wishing to use the TOPCAT tool to manipulate the catalogue, need to select the table format option, "FITS" to load the catalogue). The first one (SRCLIST) contains the sources, with positional and photometric data (count rate, magnitude and flux) and quality flags for each measurement.

Description:
SUSS4.1 is a new 2018 release of the XMM OM Serendipitous Ultraviolet Source Survey catalogue. This new release corrects some inconsistencies between IAUNAME and SRCNUM found in the previous release (OM SUSS4). The catalogue was compiled for the Optical Monitor instrument on board the ESA XMM Newton observatory. This version, the 4th release of the catalogue, spans the period of observations from 2000 to July 2017. A detailed description of the Catalogue can be found at https://www.ucl.ac.uk/mssl/research-projects/2018/dec/xmm-newton. A refereed paper on the first version can be found in Page M.J. et al. (2012MNRAS.426..903P). In addition to covering a larger observation period, the fourth release differs from the previous one in the implementation of a new time dependent sensitivity degradation correction. As in the previous release, sources detected on stacked images are properly flagged. All data have been fully processed at the European Space Astronomy Centre (ESAC, Madrid, Spain) by using the XMM Science Analysis Software (SAS) system version 17.0. The number of observations (OBSIDs) included in the catalogue is 9,749. The total number of entries in this release is 8,176,156. They correspond to 5,503,765 sources, of which 1,035,453 have multiple entries in the source table, corresponding to different observations. The Catalogue consists of two tables. The first one (SRCLIST) contains the sources, with positional and photometric data (count rate, magnitude and flux) and quality flags for each measurement. In the second table (SUMMARY) we give a summary of the observations from which the sources have been detected and measured.

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
The second release of the XMM OM Serendipitous Source Survey Catalogue (XMM-SUSS2) was produced by processing the XMM-Newton Optical Monitor (OM) data obtained from the beginning of the mission (2000) until the end of 2012. The latest release, XMM-SUSS2.1, now includes an extra year of data to the end of 2013. The data processing was performed at the European Space Astronomy Centre (ESAC, Spain) and at Mullard Space Science Laboratory (MSSL UCL, U.K.) by using the XMM Science Analysis Software system (SAS) version 14.0. In addition to covering a larger observation period, this release differs from the first release (XMM-SUSS) by inclusion of all the OM observations (not only those containing UV filters) and by performing source detection on stacked images, thus facilitating the detection of fainter sources. The number of observations (OBSIDs) included in the catalogue is 7,170. The total number of entries included in the catalogue is 6,246,432. They correspond to 4,329,363 sources, of which 831,582 have multiple entries in the source table, corresponding to different observations.
6066. XMM Optical Monitor Survey of TMC

Title:
XMM Optical Monitor Survey of TMC
Short Name:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
The Optical Monitor (OM) on-board XMM-Newton obtained optical/ultraviolet data for the XMM-Newton Extended Survey of the Taurus Molecular Cloud (XEST), simultaneously with the X-ray detectors. With the XEST OM data, we study the optical and ultraviolet properties of TMC members, and to perform correlative studies between the X-ray and OM light curves. In particular, we aim to determine whether accretion plays a significant role in the optical/ultraviolet and X-ray emissions. The Neupert effect in stellar flares is also investigated. Coordinates, average count rates and magnitudes were extracted from OM images, together with light curves with low time resolution (a few kiloseconds). For a few sources, OM FAST mode data were also available, and we extracted OM light curves with high time resolution. The OM data were correlated with Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS) data and with the XEST catalogue in the X-rays. The XEST OM catalogue contains 2,148 entries of which 1,893 have 2MASS counterparts. However, only 98 entries have X-ray counterparts, of which 51 are known TMC members and 12 additional are TMC candidates. The OM data indicate that accreting stars are statistically brighter in the U band than non-accreting stars after correction for extinction, and have U-band excesses, most likely due to accretion. The OM emission of accreting stars is variable, probably due to accretion spots, but it does not correlate with the X-ray light curve, suggesting that accretion does not contribute significantly to the X-ray emission of most accreting stars. In some cases, flares were detected in both X-ray and OM light curves and followed a Neupert effect pattern, in which the optical/ultraviolet emission precedes the X-ray emission of a flare, whereas the X-ray flux is proportional to the integral of the optical flux.

XMM spectral analysis of Draco dSph

Description:
We present the spectral analysis of an 87ks XMM-Newton observation of Draco, a nearby dwarf spheroidal galaxy. Of the approximately 35 robust X-ray source detections, we focus our attention on the brightest of these sources, for which we report X-ray and multiwavelength parameters. While most of the sources exhibit properties consistent with active galactic nuclei, few of them possess the characteristics of low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) and cataclysmic variable (CVs). Our analysis places constraints on the population of X-ray sources with LX>3x10^33^erg/s in Draco, suggesting that there are no actively accreting black hole and neutron star binaries. However, we find four sources that could be quiescent state LMXBs/CVs associated with Draco. We also place constraints on the central black hole luminosity and on a dark matter decay signal around 3.5keV.

XMM view of NGC 6231: OB stars

Description:
In this second paper of the series, we focus on the X-ray properties of the OB star population of NGC 6231. As a tool for our analysis, we performed a literature-based census of the OB stars in the field of view. More than one hundred objects are found, among which 30% can be associated with an X-ray source. All the O-type stars are detected in the X-ray domain as soft and reasonably strong emitters. [...] Among B-type stars, the detection rate is only about 25% in the sub-type range B0-B4 and remains mostly uniform throughout the different sub-populations while it drops significantly at later sub-types. The associated X-ray spectra are harder than those of O-type stars. Our analysis points towards the emission being rather associated with a physical (in a multiple system) PMS companion. However, we still observe a correlation between the bolometric luminosity of the B stars and the measured X-ray luminosity. [...]

XMM view of NGC 6231 open cluster
Short Name:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present the results of an X-ray campaign towards the young open cluster NGC 6231. The XMM-Newton observations, of a total duration of about 180 ks, reveals that NGC 6231 is very rich in the X-ray domain too. Indeed, 610 X-ray sources are detected in the present field of view, centered on the cluster core. The limiting sensitivity of our survey is approximately 610^-15^erg/s/cm^2^ but clearly depends on the location in the field of view and on the source spectrum. Using different existing catalogues, over 85% of the X-ray sources could be associated with at least one optical and/or infrared counterpart within a limited cross-correlation radius of 2.5 or 3-arcsec according to the optical/IR catalogue used. The surface density distribution of the X-ray sources presents a slight N-S elongation. Once corrected for the spatial sensitivity variation of the EPIC instruments, the radial profile of the source surface density is well described by a King profile with a central density of about 8 sources per arcmin^2^ and a core radius close to 3.1-arcmin. The distribution of the X-ray sources seems closely related to the optical source distribution. The expected number of foreground and background sources should represent about 9% of the detected sources, thus strongly suggesting that most of the observed X-ray emitters are physically belonging to NGC 6231. Finally, beside a few bright but soft objects -- corresponding to the early-type stars of the cluster -- most of the sources are relatively faint (~5x10^-15^erg/s/cm^2^) with an energy distribution peaked around 1.0-2.0keV.

Description:
The XMM-Newton survey of the Coma cluster of galaxies covers an area of 1.86 square degrees with a mosaic of 16 pointings and has a total useful integration time of 400ks. Detected X-ray sources with extent less than 10" were correlated with catalogued galaxies in the Coma cluster region. The redshift information, which is abundant in this region of the sky, allowed us to separate cluster members from background and foreground galaxies. For the background sources, we recover a typical logN-logS in the flux range 10^-15^-10^-13^erg/s/cm^2^ in the 0.5-2.0keV band.
