- Description:
- The fully identified complete sample including 150 extreme HBL BL Lacs is presented in Table 1 where we give the source name built with the catalog identification code SHBL (where S stands for "Sedentary" survey and HBL for High energy peaked BL Lacs) and the arcsecond precision optical coordinates of the source taken from the APM and COSMOS on-line services; we give also the RASS name, the X-ray flux (0.1-2.4keV), the radio flux (20cm, from the NVSS survey), and the optical apparent V magnitude (from APM and COSMOS) respectively; we give the redshift when available and the reference for the optical identification. In Table 2 we report properties for five bright elliptical galaxies/low luminosity HBLs in the original sample of high fX/fr sources of Paper I (Giommi et al., 1999MNRAS.310..465G). In Table 3 the 19 rejected emission line AGNs together with their properties are presented.

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present the X-ray spectra of 86 optically identified sources in the 13^H^ XMM-Newton/Chandra deep field which have >70 X-ray counts. The majority of these sources have 2-10keV fluxes between 10-15 and 5x10^-14^erg/cm^2^/s. The sample consists of 50 broad-line active galactic nuclei (BLAGN), 25 narrow emission-line galaxies (NELGs), six absorption-line galaxies and five Galactic stars. The majority (42/50) of the BLAGN have X-ray spectra which are consistent with a power-law shape.

- Description:
- We present a detailed X-ray spectral analysis of the non-beamed, hard X-ray selected active galactic nuclei (AGNs) in the northern Galactic cap of the 58 month Swift Burst Alert Telescope (Swift/BAT) catalog, consisting of 100 AGNs with b>50{deg}. This sky area has excellent potential for further dedicated study due to a wide range of multi-wavelength data that are already available, and we propose it as a low-redshift analog to the "deep field" observations of AGNs at higher redshifts (e.g., CDFN/S, COSMOS, Lockman Hole). We present distributions of luminosity, absorbing column density, and other key quantities for the catalog. We use a consistent approach to fit new and archival X-ray data gathered from XMM-Newton, Swift/XRT, ASCA, and Swift/BAT. We probe to deeper redshifts than the 9 month BAT catalog (<z>=0.043 compared to <z>=0.03 for the 9 month catalog), and uncover a broader absorbing column density distribution. The fraction of obscured (logN_H_>=22) objects in the sample is ~60%, and 43%-56% of the sample exhibits "complex" 0.4-10keV spectra. We present the average 1-10keV spectrum for the sample, which reproduces the 1-10keV X-ray background slope as found for the brighter 9 month BAT AGN sample.

- X-ray star clusters in the Carina complex

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- The distribution of young stars found in the Chandra Carina Complex Project (CCCP) is examined for clustering structure. X-ray surveys are advantageous for identifying young stellar populations compared to optical and infrared surveys in suffering less contamination from nebular emission and Galactic field stars. The analysis is based on smoothed maps of a spatially complete subsample of ~3000 brighter X-ray sources classified as Carina members and ~10000 stars from the full CCCP sample. The principal known clusters are recovered, and some additional smaller groups are identified. No rich embedded clusters are present, although a number of sparse groups are found. The CCCP reveals considerable complexity in clustering properties.

- Short Name:

- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We provide the Chandra source list for the last ~quarter of the area covered by the Galactic Bulge Survey (GBS). The GBS targets two strips of 6x1{deg} (12sq.deg. in total), one above (1<{deg}b<2{deg}) and one below (-2{deg}<b<-1{deg}) the Galactic plane in the direction of the Galactic Center at X-ray, optical and near-infrared wavelengths. For the X-ray part of the survey we use 2ks per Chandra pointing. We find 424 X-ray sources in the 63 Chandra observations we report on here. These sources are in addition to the 1216 X-ray sources discovered in the first part of the GBS survey described before. We discuss the characteristics and the X-ray variability of the brightest of the sources as well as the radio properties from existing radio surveys. We point out an interesting asymmetry in the number of X-ray sources as a function of their Galactic l and b coordinates which is probably caused by differences in average extinction towards the different parts of the GBS survey area.

- X-ray survey of the NDWFS Bootes field
- Short Name:
- J/ApJS/161/9
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present results from a Chandra survey of the 9deg^2^ Bootes field of the NOAO Deep Wide-Field Survey (NDWFS). This XBootes survey consists of 126 separate contiguous ACIS-I observations each of approximately 5000s in duration. These unique Chandra observations allow us to search for large-scale structure and to calculate X-ray source statistics over a wide, contiguous field of view with arcsecond angular resolution and uniform coverage. The full 0.5-7keV band n>=4 count list has 3293 point sources. In addition to the point sources, 43 extended sources have been detected, consistent with the depth of these observations and the number counts of clusters. We present here the X-ray catalog for the XBootes survey, including source positions, X-ray fluxes, hardness ratios, and their uncertainties.

- X-ray-UV relations in SDSS DR5 QSOs
- Short Name:
- J/ApJ/685/773
- Date:
- 21 Oct 2021
- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We analyze archived Chandra and XMM-Newton X-ray observations of 536 Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Data Release 5 (DR5) quasars (QSOs) at 1.7<=z<=2.7 in order to characterize the relative UV and X-ray spectral properties of QSOs that do not have broad UV absorption lines (BALs). We constrain the fraction of X-ray-weak, non-BAL QSOs and find that such objects are rare; for example, sources underluminous by a factor of 10 comprise <~2% of optically selected SDSS QSOs. X-ray luminosities vary with respect to UV emission by a factor of <~2 over several years for most sources. UV continuum reddening and the presence of narrow-line absorbing systems are not strongly associated with X-ray weakness in our sample. X-ray brightness is significantly correlated with UV emission-line properties, so that relatively X-ray-weak, non-BAL QSOs generally have weaker, blueshifted CIV {lambda}1549 emission and broader CIII] {lambda}1909 lines. The CIV emission-line strength depends on both UV and X-ray luminosity, suggesting that the physical mechanism driving the global Baldwin effect is also associated with X-ray emission.

- X-ray variability of AGN
- Short Name:
- J/A+A/536/A84
- Date:
- 21 Oct 2021
- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- The X-ray variability of the active galactic nuclei (AGN) has been most often investigated with studies of individual, nearby sources, and only a few ensemble analyses have been applied to large samples in wide ranges of luminosity and redshift. We aim to determine the ensemble variability properties of two serendipitously selected AGN samples extracted from the catalogues of XMM-Newton and Swift, with redshift between ~0.2 and ~4.5, and X-ray luminosities, in the 0.5-4.5keV band, between ~10^43^erg/s and ~10^46^erg/s. We used the structure function (SF), which operates in the time domain, and allows for an ensemble analysis even when only a few observations are available for individual sources and the power spectral density (PSD) cannot be derived. The SF is also more appropriate than fractional variability and excess variance, because these parameters are biased by the duration of the monitoring time interval in the rest-frame, and therefore by cosmological time dilation.

- X-ray weak quasars from SDSS & Chandra
- Short Name:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We investigate systematically the X-ray emission from type 1 quasars using a sample of 1825 Sloan Digital Sky Survey non-broad absorption line (non-BAL) quasars with Chandra archival observations. A significant correlation is found between the X-ray-to-optical power-law slope parameter ({alpha}_OX_) and the 2500{AA} monochromatic luminosity (L_2500{AA}_), and the X-ray weakness of a quasar is assessed via the deviation of its {alpha}_OX_ value from that expected from this relation. We demonstrate the existence of a population of non-BAL X-ray-weak quasars, and the fractions of quasars that are X-ray weak by factors of >=6 and >=10 are 5.8%+/-0.7% and 2.7%+/-0.5%, respectively. We classify X-ray-weak quasars (X-ray weak by factors of >=6) into three categories based on their optical spectral features: weak emission-line quasars (WLQs; CIV rest-frame equivalent width <16{AA}), red quasars ({Delta}(g-i)>0.2), and unclassified X-ray-weak quasars. The X-ray-weak fraction of 35_-9_^+12^% within the WLQ population is significantly higher than that within non-WLQs, confirming previous findings that WLQs represent one population of X-ray-weak quasars. The X-ray-weak fraction of 13_-3_^+5^% within the red quasar population is also considerably higher than that within the normal quasar population. The unclassified X-ray-weak quasars do not have unusual optical spectral features, and their X-ray weakness may be mainly related to quasar X-ray variability.

- XSTPS RR Lyrae in the north Galactic cap
- Short Name:
- J/ApJ/788/105
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present a catalog of RR Lyrae stars (RRLs) observed by the Xuyi Schmidt Telescope Photometric Survey (XSTPS). The area we consider is located in the north Galactic cap, covering ~376.75 deg^2^ at RA~150{deg} and DE~27{deg} down to a magnitude limit of i~19. Using the variability information afforded by the multi-epoch nature of our XSTPS data, combined with colors from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, we are able to identify candidate RRLs. We find 318 candidates, derive distances to them, and estimate the detection efficiency. The majority of our candidates have more than 12 observations, and for these we are able to calculate periods. These also allow us to estimate our contamination level, which we predict is between 30% and 40%. Finally, we use the sample to probe the halo density profile in the 9-49 kpc range and find that it can be well fitted by a double power law. We find good agreement between this model and the models derived for the south Galactic cap using the Watkins et al. (2009, J/MNRAS/398/1757) and Sesar et al. (2010, J/ApJ/708/717) RRL data sets, after accounting for possible contamination in our data set from Sagittarius stream members. We consider non-spherical double power-law models of the halo density profile and again find agreement with literature data sets, although we have limited power to constrain the flattening due to our small survey area. Much tighter constraints will be placed by current and future wide-area surveys, most notably ESA's astrometric Gaia mission. Our analysis demonstrates that surveys with a limited number of epochs can effectively be mined for RRLs. Our complete sample is provided as accompanying online material; as an example the first few entries of each electronic table are shown in the text.
