17891. X-ray survey of NGC7000/IC5070

Description:
We present the first extensive X-ray study of the North-America and Pelican star-forming region (NGC7000/IC5070), with the aim of finding and characterizing the young population of this cloud. X-ray data from Chandra (four pointings) and XMM-Newton (seven pointings) were reduced and source detection algorithm applied to each image. We complement the X-ray data with optical and near-IR data from the IPHAS, UKIDSS, and 2MASS catalogs, and with other published optical and Spitzer IR data. More than 700 X-ray sources are detected, the majority of which have an optical or NIR counterpart. This allowed us to identify young stars in different stages of formation. Less than 30% of X-ray sources are identified with a previously known young star. We argue that most X-ray sources with an optical or NIR counterpart, except perhaps for a few tens at near-zero reddening, are likely candidate members of the star-forming region, on the basis of both their optical and NIR magnitudes and colors, and of X-ray properties such as spectrum hardness or flux variations. They are characterized by a wide range of extinction, and sometimes near-IR excesses, both of which prevent derivation of accurate stellar parameters. The optical color-magnitude diagram suggests ages between 1-10Myrs. The X-ray members have a very complex spatial distribution with some degree of subclustering, qualitatively similar to that of previously known members. The detailed distribution of X-ray sources relative to the objects with IR excesses identified with Spitzer is sometimes suggestive of sequential star formation, especially near the 'Gulf of Mexico' region, probably triggered by the O5 star which illuminates the whole region. We confirm that around the O5 star no enhancement in the young star density is found, in agreement with previous results. Thanks to the precision and depth of the IPHAS and UKIDSS data used, we also determine the local optical-IR reddening law, and compute an updated reddening map of the entire region.

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 2Jy sample. I.

Description:
We carry out a systematic study of the X-ray emission from the active nuclei of the 0.02<z<0.7 2Jy sample, using Chandra and XMM-Newton observations. We combine our results with those from mid-infrared, optical emission-line and radio observations, and add them to those of the 3CRR sources. We show that the low-excitation objects in our samples show signs of radiatively inefficient accretion. We study the effect of the jet-related emission on the various luminosities, confirming that it is the main source of soft X-ray emission for our sources. We also find strong correlations between the accretion-related luminosities, and identify several sources whose optical classification is incompatible with their accretion properties. We derive the bolometric and jet kinetic luminosities for the samples and find a difference in the total Eddington rate between the low- and high-excitation populations, with the former peaking at ~1% and the latter at ~20% Eddington. Our results are consistent with a simple Eddington switch when the effects of environment on radio luminosity and black hole mass calculations are considered. The apparent independence of jet kinetic power and radiative luminosity in the high-excitation population in our plots supports a model in which jet production and radiatively efficient accretion are not strongly correlated in high-excitation objects, though they have a common underlying mechanism.

Title:
X-ray survey of the NDWFS Bootes field
Short Name:

Publisher:

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 survey of YSOs in Orion A

Description:
We present an XMM-Newton survey of the part of the Orion A cloud south of the Orion Nebula. This survey includes the Lynds 1641 (L1641) dark cloud, a region of the Orion A cloud with very few massive stars and hence a relatively low ambient UV flux, and the region around the O9III star {iota} Orionis. In addition to proprietary data, we used archival XMM data of the Orion Nebula Cluster (ONC) to extend our analysis to a major fraction of the Orion A cloud. We have detected 1060 X-ray sources in L1641 and the {iota} Ori region. About 94% of the sources have Two Micron All Sky Survey and Spitzer counterparts, 204 and 23 being Class II and Class I or protostar objects, respectively. In addition, we have identified 489 X-ray sources as counterparts to Class III candidates, given they are bright in X-rays and appear as normal photospheres at mid-IR wavelengths. The remaining 205 X-ray sources are likely distant active galactic nuclei or other galactic sources not related to Orion A. We find that Class III candidates appear more concentrated in two main clusters in L1641. The first cluster of Class III stars is found toward the northern part of L1641, concentrated around {iota} Ori. The stars in this cluster are more evolved than those in the Orion Nebula. We estimate a distance of 300-320 pc for this cluster showing that it is in the foreground of the Orion A cloud. Another cluster rich in Class III stars is located in L1641 South and appears to be a slightly older cluster embedded in the Orion A cloud. Furthermore, other evolved Class III stars are found north of the ONC toward NGC 1977.

X-ray to MIR luminosities relation of AGNs
Short Name:
J/ApJ/807/129
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
The X-ray and mid-IR emission from active galactic nuclei (AGNs) are strongly correlated. However, while various published parameterizations of this correlation are consistent with the low-redshift, local Seyfert galaxy population, extrapolations of these relations to high luminosity differ by an order of magnitude at {nu}L_{nu}_(6{mu}m)~10^47^erg/s. Using data from the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, we determine the mid-IR luminosities of the most luminous quasars from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and present a revised formulation of the X-ray to mid-IR relation of AGNs which is appropriate from the Seyfert regime to the powerful quasar regime.

X-ray/UV ratio of AGN
Short Name:
J/A+A/619/A95

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
The well established negative correlation between the {alpha}_OX_ spectral slope and the optical/UV luminosity, a by product of the relation between X-rays and optical/UV luminosity, is affected by a relatively large dispersion. The main contributions can be variability in the X-ray/UV ratio and/or changes in fundamental physical parameters. We want to quantify the contribution of variability within single sources (intra-source dispersion) and that due to variations of other quantities different from source to source (inter-source dispersion). We use archival data from the XMM-Newton Serendipitous Source Catalog (XMMSSC, Cat. IX/50) and from the XMM-OM Serendipitous Ultra-violet Source Survey (XMMOM-SUSS3, Cat. II/340). We select a sub-sample in order to decrease the dispersion of the relation due to the presence of Radio-Loud and Broad Absorption Line objects, and to absorptions in both X-ray and optical/UV bands. We use the Structure Function (SF) to estimate the contribution of variability to the dispersion. We analyse the dependence of the residuals of the relation on various physical parameters in order to characterise the inter-source dispersion. We find a total dispersion of {sigma}~0.12 and we find that intrinsic variability contributes for 56 percent of the variance of the {alpha}_OX_-L_UV_ relation. If we select only sources with a larger number of observational epochs (>2) the dispersion of the relation decreases by approximately 15 percent. We find weak but significant dependences of the residuals of the relation on black-hole mass and on Eddington ratio, which are also confirmed by a multivariate regression analysis of {alpha}_OX_ as a function of UV luminosity and black-hole mass and/or Eddington ratio. We find a weak positive correlation of both the {alpha}_OX_ index and the residuals of the {alpha}_OX_-LUV relation with inclination indicators, such as the FWHM(H{beta}) and the EW[OIII], suggesting a weak increase of X-ray/UV ratio with the viewing angle. This suggests the development of new viewing angle indicators possibly applicable at higher redshifts. Moreover, our results suggest the possibility of selecting a sample of objects, based on their viewing angle and/or black-hole mass and Eddington ratio, for which the {alpha}_OX_-LUV relation is as tight as possible, in light of the use of the optical/UV-X-ray luminosity relation to build a distance modulus (DM)-z plane and estimate cosmological parameters.

X-ray/UV ratio of 2XMM AGN
Short Name:

Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
The observed relation between the X-ray radiation from active galactic nuclei, originating in the corona, and the optical/UV radiation from the disk is usually described by the anticorrelation between the UV to X-ray slope {alpha}_ox_ and the UV luminosity. Many factors can affect this relation, including: i) enhanced X-ray emission associated with the jets of radio-loud AGNs, ii) X-ray absorption associated with the UV broad absorption line (BAL) outflows, iii) other X-ray absorption not associated with BALs, iv) intrinsic X-ray weakness, v) UV and X-ray variability, and non-simultaneity of UV and X-ray observations. The separation of these effects provides information about the intrinsic {alpha}_ox_-L_UV_ relation and its dispersion, constraining models of disk-corona coupling. We use simultaneous UV/X-ray observations to remove the influence of non-simultaneous measurements from the {alpha}_ox_-L_UV_ relation.

Title:
X-ray-UV relations in SDSS DR5 QSOs
Short Name:
J/ApJ/685/773
Date:

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.
17900. X-ray variability in NGC 2516

Title:
X-ray variability in NGC 2516
Short Name:
J/ApJ/606/466
Date:
21 Oct 2021
Publisher:
CDS
Description:
NGC 2516 has been observed by Chandra several times in order to correct the plate scale of the spacecraft's focal plane instruments. Because of this, Chandra has observed NGC 2516 with all four imaging arrangements available. In addition, NGC 2516 has been observed as part of the High Resolution Camera (HRC) guaranteed time program and is scheduled for return plate scale calibration visits. This makes it the best cluster to study for long-term variability. NGC 2516 is about 140Myr old and less than 400pc away. In our first paper, Harnden et al., 2001ApJ...547L.141H, we discussed the detection of 150 X-ray sources (42% of which are identified as cluster members) in the calibration data taken during the orbital activation phase of the Chandra mission. In our second paper, Damiani et al., 2003, Cat. <J/ApJ/588/1009>, we combined all the extant data sets and detected 284 sources, more than half of which are considered likely cluster members. In this our third paper, we further explore techniques of combining Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer (ACIS) and HRC Chandra data for timing analysis. We have been able to combine almost 70ks of observation time, spread over five epochs, to study variability in this cluster on multiple timescales. We find that while stochastic variability rates are about the same for all objects in the sample, the timescale for detecting variability is shorter for late-type stars. Both stochastic and flare variability rates seen in NGC 2516 are similar to those seen in younger clusters IC 348, NGC 1333, and M42.
