17551. XID II: RASS/BSC-2MASS/PSC cross-association
ID:
ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/ApJS/184/138
Title:
XID II: RASS/BSC-2MASS/PSC cross-association
Short Name:

Publisher:

Description:
The 18806 ROSAT All Sky Survey Bright Source Catalog (RASS/BSC) X-ray sources are quantitatively cross-associated with near-infrared (NIR) sources from the Two Micron All Sky Survey Point Source Catalog (2MASS/PSC). An association catalog is presented, listing the most likely counterpart for each RASS/BSC source, the probability Pid that the NIR source and X-ray source are uniquely associated, and the probability Pno-id that none of the 2MASS/PSC sources are associated with the X-ray source. The catalog includes 3853 high quality (Pid>0.98) X-ray-NIR matches, 2280 medium quality (0.98>=Pid>0.9) matches, and 4153 low quality (0.9>=Pid>0.5) matches. Of the high quality matches, 1418 are associations that are not listed in the SIMBAD database, and for which no high quality match with a USNO-A2 optical source was presented for the RASS/BSC source in previous work. The present work offers a significant number of new associations with RASS/BSC objects that will require optical/NIR spectroscopy for classification. For example, of the 6133 Pid>0.9 2MASS/PSC counterparts presented in the association catalog, 2411 have no classification listed in the SIMBAD database. These 2MASS/PSC sources will likely include scientifically useful examples of known source classes of X-ray emitters (white dwarfs, coronally active stars, active galactic nuclei), but may also contain previously unknown source classes. It is determined that all coronally active stars in the RASS/BSC should have a counterpart in the 2MASS/PSC, and that the unique association of these RASS/BSC sources with their NIR counterparts thus is confusion limited.

Xinglong spectra of two changing-look SDSS AGNs
Short Name:
J/ApJ/887/15

Publisher:

Description:
We report a spectroscopic identification of two new changing-look active galactic nuclei (CL-AGNs): SDSSJ104705.16+544405.8 and SDSSJ120447.91+170256.8, both with a "turn-off" type transition from type-1 to type-1.8/1.9. The identification is arrived at through a follow-up spectroscopic observation of the five CL-AGNs candidates that are extracted from the sample recently released in MacLeod+ (2019, J/ApJ/874/8). The candidates are extracted by the authors from the Sloan Digit Sky Survey Data Release 7, and are spectroscopically confirmed quasars with large amplitude variability. By compiling a sample of 26 previously identified CL-AGNs, we confirm the claim by MacLeod+ that CL-AGNs tend to be biased against a low Eddington ratio, and identify an overlap between the CL-AGNs at their dim state and the so-called intermediate-type AGNs. The overlap implies that there two populations of the intermediate-type AGNs with different origins. One is due to the torus orientation effect, and the other to the intrinsic change of the accretion rate of the central supermassive black holes.

Description:
We present a catalogue of 286 X-ray sources with their optical identification taken from the XMDS survey (using the XMM-Newton EPIC instrument). This first version is limited to sources detected at 4{sigma} at least in one energy band, AND falling in the area covered by the optical VVDS survey.
17554. XMM AGN optical-UV luminosities
ID:

Title:
XMM AGN optical-UV luminosities
Short Name:
J/A+A/539/A48
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
Active galactic nuclei (AGN) emit radiation over a wide range of wavelengths, with a peak of emission in the far-UV region of the electromagnetic spectrum, a spectral region that is historically difficult to observe. Using optical, GALEX UV, and XMM-Newton data we derive the spectral energy distribution (SED) from the optical/UV to X-ray regime of a sizeable sample of AGN. The principal motivation is to investigate the relationship between the optical/UV emission and the X-ray emission and provide bolometric corrections to the hard X-ray (2-10keV) energy range, k_bol_, the latter being a fundamental parameter in current physical cosmology.
17555. 2XMM AGN X-ray and mid-IR luminosities
ID:

Title:
2XMM AGN X-ray and mid-IR luminosities
Short Name:
J/MNRAS/449/1422
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We have determined the relation between the AGN luminosities at rest-frame 6{mu}m associated with the dusty torus emission and at 2-10keV energies using a complete, X-ray-flux-limited sample of 232 AGN drawn from the Bright Ultra-hard XMM-Newton Survey. The objects have intrinsic X-ray luminosities between 10^42^ and 10^46^erg/s and redshifts from 0.05 to 2.8. The rest-frame 6{mu}m luminosities were computed using data from the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer and are based on a spectral energy distribution decomposition into AGN and galaxy emission. The best-fitting relationship for the full sample is consistent with being linear, L_6{mu}m_{prop.to}L_2-10keV_^0.99+/-0.03^, with intrinsic scatter, {Delta}logL_6{mu}m_~0.35dex. The L_6{mu}m_/L_2-10keV_ luminosity ratio is largely independent of the line-of-sight X-ray absorption. Assuming a constant X-ray bolometric correction, the fraction of AGN bolometric luminosity reprocessed in the mid-IR decreases weakly, if at all, with the AGN luminosity, a finding at odds with simple receding torus models. Type 2 AGN have redder mid-IR continua at rest-frame wavelengths <12{mu}m and are overall ~1.3-2 times fainter at 6{mu}m than type 1 AGN at a given X-ray luminosity. Regardless of whether type 1 and type 2 AGN have the same or different nuclear dusty toroidal structures, our results imply that the AGN emission at rest-frame 6{mu}m is not isotropic due to self-absorption in the dusty torus, as predicted by AGN torus models. Thus, AGN surveys at rest-frame ~6{mu}m are subject to modest dust obscuration biases.

Description:
We report on new X-ray observations of the large-scale jets recently discovered in X-rays from the black hole candidate 4U 1755-33. Our observations in 2004 show that the jets found in 2001 are still present in X-rays. However, sensitive radio observations in 2004 failed to detect the jets.

Title:
XMM/CDFS AGN intrinsic absorption
Short Name:
J/A+A/459/693
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We combine bright XMM-Newton data with the Chandra Deep Field South observations to explore the behavior of the intrinsic AGN absorption, as a function of redshift and luminosity. Our sample consists of 359 sources selected in the hard 2-8keV band, spanning the flux range 6x10^-16^-3x10^-13^erg/cm^2^/s with a high rate of spectroscopic or photometric redshift completeness (100 and 85 per cent respectively for the Chandra and XMM-Newton data). We derive the column density values using X-ray spectral fits. We find that the fraction of obscured AGN falls with increasing luminosity in agreement with previous findings. The fraction of obscured AGN shows an apparent increase at high redshifts (z>2). Simulations show that this effect can most probably be attributed to the fact that at high redshifts the column densities are overestimated.

Title:
XMM/CFDS catalogue
Short Name:
J/MNRAS/350/785
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present the X-ray source catalogues for the XMM surveys of the 3-h and 14-h (also known as the Groth Strip) Canada-France Redshift Survey fields (0.5-10keV flux range ~2x10^-15^-10^-13^erg/cm^2^/s). We use a subset of the XMM sources, which have Chandra positions, to determine the best method of obtaining optical identifications of sources with only XMM positions. We find optical identifications for 79 per cent of the XMM sources for which there are deep optical images. The sources without optical identifications are likely to be optically fainter and have higher redshifts than the sources with identifications. We have estimated 'photometric redshifts' for the identified sources, calibrating our method using ~200 galaxies in the fields with spectroscopic redshifts. We find that the redshift distribution has a strong peak at z~0.7.
17559. XMM/Chandra study of IC 10

Title:
XMM/Chandra study of IC 10
Short Name:

Description:
We present an X-ray study of our nearest starburst galaxy IC 10, based on XMM-Newton and Chandra observations. A list of 73 XMM-Newton and 28 Chandra detections of point-like X-ray sources in the field is provided; a substantial fraction of them are likely stellar objects in the Milky Way due to the low Galactic latitude location of IC 10.
17560. XMM Clusters of galaxies in COSMOS field
ID:
ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/ApJS/172/182
Title:
XMM Clusters of galaxies in COSMOS field
Short Name:
J/ApJS/172/182
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present the results of a search for galaxy clusters in the first 36 XMM-Newton pointings on the Cosmic Evolution Survey (COSMOS) field. We reach a depth for a total cluster flux in the 0.5-2keV band of 3x10^-15^ergs/cm^2^/s, having one of the widest XMM-Newton contiguous raster surveys, covering an area of 2.1deg^2^. Cluster candidates are identified through a wavelet detection of extended X-ray emission. Verification of the cluster candidates is done based on a galaxy concentration analysis in redshift slices of thickness 0.1-0.2 in redshift, using the multiband photometric catalog of the COSMOS field and restricting the search to z<1.3 and i_AB_<25. We identify 72 clusters and derive their properties based on the X-ray cluster scaling relations. A statistical description of the survey in terms of the cumulative log(N>S)-logS distribution compares well with previous results, although yielding a somewhat higher number of clusters at similar fluxes. The X-ray luminosity function of COSMOS clusters matches well the results of nearby surveys, providing a comparably tight constraint on the faint-end slope of alpha=1.93+/-0.04. For the probed luminosity range of (8x10^42^)-(2x10^44^)ergs/s, our survey is in agreement with and adds significantly to the existing data on the cluster luminosity function at high redshifts and implies no substantial evolution at these luminosities to z=1.3.
