- Title:
- XMM-Newton survey of M33
- Short Name:

- Description:
- In an XMM-Newton raster observation of the bright Local Group spiral galaxy M 33 we study the population of X-ray sources (X-ray binaries, supernova remnants) down to a 0.2-4.5keV luminosity of 10^35^erg/s - more than a factor of 10 deeper than earlier ROSAT observations. EPIC hardness ratios and optical and radio information are used to distinguish between different source classes. The survey detects 408 sources in an area of 0.80 square degree. We correlate these newly detected sources with earlier M 33 X-ray catalogues and information from optical, infra-red and radio wavelengths. As M 33 sources we detect 21 supernova remnants (SNR) and 23 SNR candidates, 5 super-soft sources and 2 X-ray binaries (XRBs). There are 267 sources classified as hard, which may either be XRBs or Crab-like SNRs in M 33 or background AGN. The 44 confirmed and candidate SNRs more than double the number of X-ray detected SNRs in M 33. 16 of these are proposed as SNR candidates from the X-ray data for the first time. On the other hand, there are several sources not connected to M 33: five foreground stars, 30 foreground star candidates, 12 active galactic nucleus candidates, one background galaxy and one background galaxy candidate. Extrapolating from deep field observations we would expect 175 to 210 background sources in this field. This indicates that about half of the sources detected are within M 33.

- Title:
- XMM-OM Serendipitous Source Survey Catalogue (XMM-SUSS5.0)
- Short Name:
- II/370
- Date:
- 03 Dec 2021 13:12:28
- 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.

- Title:
- XMM-OM Serendipitous Source Survey Catalogue (XMM-SUSS4.1)
- Short Name:
- II/356
- Date:
- 21 Oct 2021
- Publisher:
- CDS
- 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.

- Title:
- XMM-OM Serendipitous Source Survey Catalogue (XMM-SUSS2.1)
- Short Name:
- II/340
- Date:
- 21 Oct 2021
- 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.

- Title:
- X-ray clusters from XMM
- Short Name:
- J/MNRAS/423/3561
- Date:
- 21 Oct 2021
- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We have processed 2774 high galactic observations from the XMM archive (as of 2010 May) and extracted a serendipitous catalogue of some 850 clusters of galaxies based on purely X-ray criteria, following the methodology developed for the XMM-Large-Scale Survey. Restricting the sample to the highest signal-to-noise ratio objects (347 clusters), we perform a cosmological analysis using only the X-ray information. The analysis consists in the modelling of the observed colour-magnitude [count rate and hardness ratio (CR-HR)] diagram constructed from cluster instrumental count rates measured in the [0.5-2], [1-2] and [0.5-1] keV bands. A Monte Carlo Markov chain procedure simultaneously fits the cosmological parameters, the evolution of the cluster scaling laws and the selection effects.
