- Description:
- This table contains the 19,141 AllWISE counterparts and/or Gaia matches to 17,665 X-ray sources detected in the XMM-Newton Slew Survey, Version 2 (hereafter XMMSL2, currently available at the HEASARC as the XMMSLEWCLN table) list of 'Clean' sources that lie at Galactic latitude |b| > 15 degrees. These are among the brightest X-ray sources in the sky, but their position uncertainties and the sparse multi-wavelength coverage until now have rendered the identification of their counterparts a demanding task with uncertain results. New all-sky multi-wavelength surveys of sufficient depth, like AllWISE and Gaia, and a new Bayesian statistics-based algorithm, NWAY, allow us, for the first time, to provide reliable counterpart associations. NWAY extends previous distance- and sky density-based association methods and, using one or more priors (e.g. colors, magnitudes), weights the probability that sources from two or more catalogs are simultaneously associated on the basis of their observable characteristics. Here, counterparts have been determined using a Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) color-magnitude prior. A reference sample of 4,524 XMM/Chandra and Swift X-ray sources demonstrates a reliability of 97.4 per cent for XMMSL2 sources. Combining the results of this work and of the matching of ROSAT All-Sky Survey 2RXS sources also reported in this study (the results of the latter are available as the HEASARC's database table NWAYAWGROS) with Chandra-COSMOS data, the authors propose a new separation between stars and AGN in the X-ray/WISE flux-magnitude plane, that is valid over six orders of magnitude. The authors also release the NWAY code and its user manual. NWAY was extensively tested with XMM-COSMOS data. Using two different sets of priors, the authors find an agreement of 96 per cent and 99 per cent with published Likelihood Ratio methods. Their results were achieved faster and without any follow-up visual inspection. With the advent of deep and wide area surveys in X-rays (e.g. SRG/eROSITA, Athena/WFI) and radio (ASKAP/EMU, LOFAR, APERTIF, etc.), NWAY will provide a powerful and reliable counterpart identification tool. For all the available options, see the NWAY manual at <a href="https://github.com/JohannesBuchner/nway/raw/master/doc/nway-manual.pdf">https://github.com/JohannesBuchner/nway/raw/master/doc/nway-manual.pdf</a>.

- Alpha Per Open Cluster XMM-Newton X-Ray Source Catalog
- Short Name:
- ALFPERXMM
- Date:
- 03 May 2024
- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- This table contains results from the analysis of an archival XMM-Newton observation of part of the Alpha Persei open cluster. The authors detected 102 X-ray sources in the energy band from 0.3 to 8.0 keV, of which 39 of them are associated with the cluster as evidenced by their appropriate magnitudes and colors from Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS) photometry. In the reference paper, the authors extend the X-ray luminosity distribution (XLD) of the Alpha Persei cluster for M dwarfs, to add to the XLD found for hotter dwarfs from spatially extensive surveys of the whole cluster by ROSAT. Some of the hotter stars are identified as a background, possible slightly older group of stars at a distance of approximately 500 pc. Alpha Per is a young open cluster, found to be 50 Myr old from its upper main sequence turnoff morphology (Meynet et al. 1993, A&AS, 98, 477). More recently, Stauffer et al. (1999, ApJ, 527, 219) have found an age of 90 Myr from the low mass lithium depletion boundary. In addition to being relatively nearby (170 pc; Randich et al. 1996, A&A, 305, 785), the Alpha Per cluster is also lightly reddened (E(B - V ) = 0.09 mag; Meynet et al. 1993), making the data interpretation relatively robust. A fraction of the Alpha Per cluster was observed by XMM-Newton as part of the Mission Scientist Guaranteed Time (Pallavicini et al., 2004, MmSAI, 75, 434). A 60-ks observation was obtained on 2000 September 5 using the EPIC MOS and PN cameras on board XMM-Newton with a pointing centered at RA: 3<sup>h</sup> 26<sup>m</sup> 16<sup>s</sup> and Dec: 48<sup>o</sup> 50<sup>m</sup> 29<sup>s</sup> (J2000.0).

- AXIS XMM-Newton Source Catalog
- Short Name:
- AXIS
- Date:

- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- Recent results have revised upwards the total X-ray background (XRB) intensity below ~10 keV, therefore an accurate determination of the source counts is needed. There are also contradictory results on the clustering of X-ray selected sources. The authors have studied the X-ray source counts in four energy bands: soft (0.5 - 2 keV), hard (2 - 10 keV), XID (0.5 - 4.5 keV) and ultra-hard (4.5 - 7.5 keV) in order to evaluate the contribution of sources at different fluxes to the X-ray background. They have also studied the angular clustering of X-ray sources in those bands. AXIS (An XMM International Survey) is a survey of 36 high Galactic latitude XMM observations covering 4.8 square degrees in the Northern sky and containing 1433 serendipitous X-ray sources detected with 5-sigma significance. This survey has similar depth to the XMM catalogs and therefore serves as a pathfinder to explore their possibilities. The authors in their paper combined this survey with shallower and deeper surveys, and fitted the source counts with a Maximum Likelihood technique. Using only AXIS sources they studied the angular correlation using a novel robust technique. The AXIS source counts results are compatible with most previous samples in the soft, XID, ultra-hard and hard bands. This study has improved on previous results in the hard band. The fractions of the XRB resolved in the surveys used in this work are 87%, 85%, 60% and 25% in the soft, hard, XID and ultra-hard bands, respectively. Extrapolation of the source counts to zero flux is not sufficient to saturate the XRB intensity. Only galaxies and/or absorbed AGN could contribute the remaining unresolved XRB intensity. These results are compatible, within the errors, with recent revisions of the XRB intensity in the soft and hard bands. The maximum fractional contribution to the XRB comes from fluxes within about a decade of the break in the source counts (~10<sup>-14</sup> cgs), reaching ~50% of the total in the soft and hard bands. Angular clustering (widely distributed over the sky and not confined to a few deep fields) is detected at 99-99.9% significance in the soft and XID bands, with no detection in the hard and ultra-hard band (probably due to the smaller number of sources). The authors cannot confirm the detection of significantly stronger clustering in the hard-spectrum hard sources. Medium-depth surveys such as AXIS are essential to determine the evolution of the X-ray emission in the Universe below 10 keV. Included here are the basic data for the 2560 X-ray sources in the reference paper which satified the selection criteria of having an emldetect detection likelihood >= 10 (the default value) in at least one band, namely: (i) XMM-Newton pn count-rates in four XMM-Newton Science Analysis System (SAS) bands (band 2: 0.5 - 2 keV, band 3: 2 - 4.5 keV, band 4: 4.5 - 7.5 keV, band 5: 7.5 - 12 keV); (ii) spectral photon indices in the 0.5 - 4.5 keV band, the 2 - 10 keV band and the 0.5 - 10 keV band; (iii) fluxes in the soft (0.5 - 2 keV), hard (2 - 10 keV), XID (0.5 - 4.5 keV), ultra-hard (4.5 - 7.5 keV) and "total" (0.5 - 10 keV) bands; and (iv) flags describing to which of the samples discussed in the paper (soft, hard, XID or ultra-hard) each source belongs. There is no spectral or flux information given for the sources not belonging to any of the samples, but the count-rates of such sources are given for completeness.

- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- This database table contains the Carina OB1 Association XMM-Newton X-Ray Point Source Catalog. The X-ray properties of the stellar population in the Carina OB1 Association have been examined with special emphasis on early-type stars. Their spectral characteristics provide some clues to understanding the nature of X-ray formation mechanisms in the winds of single and binary early-type stars. A timing and spectral analysis of five observations with XMM-Newton is performed using various statistical tests and thermal spectral models. 235 point sources have been detected within the field of view. Several of these sources are probably pre-main sequence stars with characteristic short-term variability. Seven sources are possible background AGNs. X-ray count rates in three energy bands and the X-ray variability status are given for 557 detections of the 235 point source. Cross-identifications of X-ray sources with optical and infrared catalogs are also presented. This table was created by the HEASARC in April 2008 based on <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/A+A/477/593">CDS Catalog J/A+A/477/593</a> files table2.dat and table3.dat.

- Catalog of AGN in the XMM-Newton Archive
- Short Name:

- Date:

- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- This table comprises CAIXA, the "Catalog of AGN In the XMM-Newton Archive". It consists of all the radio-quiet, X-ray unobscured (N<sub>H</sub> < 2 x 10<sup>22</sup> cm<sup>-2</sup>) active galactic nuclei (AGN) observed by XMM-Newton in targeted observations, whose data were public as of March 2007. With its 156 sources, this is the largest catalog of high signal-to-noise X-ray spectra of AGN. All the EPIC pn spectra of the sources in CAIXA were extracted homogeneously, and a baseline model was applied in order to derive their basic X-ray properties. These data are complemented by multiwavelength data found in the literature: black hole masses, full width half maximum (FWHM) of H(beta), radio and optical fluxes. In their paper, the authors describe their homogeneous spectral analysis of the X-ray data in CAIXA and present all the results for the parameters adopted in their best-fit models. This table was created by the HEASARC in March 2009 based on the <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/A+A/495/421">CDS catalog J/A+A/495/421</a> files table1.dat, table2.dat and table3.dat.

- Cepheus A SFR XMM-Newton X-Ray Point Source Catalog
- Short Name:
- CEPAXMM
- Date:

- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- Cepheus A is a star formation region (SFR) at a distance of ~ 730 pc consisting of two main H II regions, Cep A East and Cep A West. Cep A was observed with the EPIC cameras of the XMM-Newton observatory on 2003 August 23 for 43.9ks. In this observation, X-rays from both components of Cep A, East and West, were discovered by XMM-Newton, as well as from the Herbig-Haro object HH 168, which joins the ranks of other energetic H-H objects that are sources of temperature T >= 10<sup>6</sup> K X-ray emission. A total of 102 distinct X-ray sources were detected in this 44 ks observation, many presumed to be pre-main-sequence stars on the basis of the reddening of their optical and IR counterparts, the latter being found by matching the positions of the 102 X-ray sources with objects in the USNO-B1.0 (Monet et al. 2003, AJ, 125, 984) and Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS) catalogs using a 2.5" matching radius. The authors performed source detection on all the XMM-Newton data in two energy bands: 0.2 - 1 keV ("soft") and 1 - 10 keV ("hard"). They detected 24 soft sources and 85 hard sources. Seven of the sources appear in both bands, where the criterion for a match between the bands is a positional offset of < 2.5 arcseconds. Thus, the total number of distinct X-ray sources detected (and listed in this table) is 102. This table was created by the HEASARC in July 2007 based on the CDS Catalog J/ApJ/626/272 file table2.dat.

- CMa OB1 XMM-Newton Point Source Near-Infrared Counterpart Properties Catalog
- Short Name:

- Date:

- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- The Canis Major OB1 association has an intriguing scenario of star formation, especially in the region called Canis Major R1 (CMa R1) traditionally assigned to a reflection nebula, but in reality an ionized region. The authors focused on the young stellar population associated with CMa R1, for which previous results from ROSAT, optical, and near-infrared data had revealed two stellar groups with different ages, suggesting a possible mixing of populations originated from distinct star formation episodes (see the <a href="/W3Browse/rosat/cmar1xray.html">table CMAR1XRAY</a>). The observations performed with XMM-Newton resulted in a sample of 387 X-ray sources (187, 84, 37, and 79 in Fields E, C, S , and W, respectively), 340 of which have one or more NIR (2MASS) counterparts. This table contains the 2MASS photometry, estimates of age and mass, and infrared classification of members of the CMa R1 region and counterparts to X-ray sources, based on 2MASS and WISE data. The authors also used X-ray data to characterize the detected sources (387 sources) according to hardness ratios, light curves, and spectra (see the associated table <a href="/W3Browse/xmm-newton/cmaob1xmm.html">CMAOB1XMM</a>). For this work, four fields (each about 30-arcmin diameter with some overlap) were defined. These fields are located inside the arc-shaped ionized nebula, next to Z CMa - Field E (east); around GU CMa - Field W (west); and between both - Field C (center) and Field S (south), as shown in Figure 1 of the reference paper. <pre> RA(J2000) | Dec(J2000) | Designation(s) 07 04 18.3 | -11 27 24.0 | CMa cluster east (Field E) 07 02 58.4 | -11 34 44.7 | CMa cluster center (Field C) 07 02 29.5 | -11 47 12.4 | CMa cluster south (Field S) 07 01 23.0 | -11 19 56.6 | CMa cluster west (Field W) </pre> The authors have selected NIR counterparts by searching the 2MASS catalog for candidates located less that 10'' away from the nominal X-ray source positions. No counterpart was found for 45 sources. Candidates for which the distance seems to be incompatible with the CMaR1 molecular cloud were disregarded. This table includes the complete list of NIR counterparts, however the authors only consider as reliable those flagged as 'AAA' in the 2MASS catalog (i.e., with S/N > 10, magnitude errors <0.1 mag, and above the JHK completeness limits), given by the twomass_flags field in this table. There are 340 such reliable NIR counterparts for 290 X-ray sources, including 46 X-ray sources with multiple counterpart candidates. X-ray and NIR data have revealed that most (79%) of the XMM-Newton sources are probable members of CMa R1. The combination of the results from both analyses can confirm their young nature. On the other hand, 21% of the XMM-Newton sample are probably field objects. Among these, 6% (23/387) have infrared counterparts that probably are foreground stars and 4% (17/387) have counterparts that are too faint (bad quality data) without reliable classification. The other 11% of undefined sources (44/387) do not have 2MASS data because they are classified as possible background objects. The authors have seen that the XMM-Newton error boxes may include multiple NIR counterparts. In such cases, they restricted the comparative analysis to the 158 X-ray sources of their "best sample" that are associated with a single NIR counterpart, as described in Section 4.3 of the reference paper. A distance of 1 kpc to CMa OB1 is assumed for this table. This table was created by the HEASARC in October 2018 based upon the <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/A+A/609/A127">CDS Catalog J/A+A/609/A127</a> file tableb2.dat.

The authors used X-ray data to characterize the detected sources according to hardness ratios, light curves, and spectra. They also provided estimates of mass and age, using the information from likely counterparts based on the 2MASS catalogue. The 2MASS-derived data on the counterparts, where matched, are provided in the <a href="/W3Browse/xmm-newton/cmaob1nir.html">associated table (CMAOB1NIR)</a>. This table contains a catalog of 387 XMM-Newton sources, of which 78% are confirmed as members or probable members of the CMa R1 association. Flares (or similar events) were observed for 13 sources and the spectra of 21 bright sources could be fitted by a thermal plasma model. Mean values of fits parameters were used to estimate X-ray luminosities. The authors found a minimum value of log(L<sub>X</sub> [erg/s]) = 29.43, indicating that the sample of low-mass stars (M<sub>*</sub> <= 0.5 M<sub>sun</sub>), which are faint X-ray emitters, is incomplete. Among the 250 objects selected as the complete subsample (defining a "best sample"), 171 are found to the east of the cloud, near Z CMa and dense molecular gas, of which 50% of them are young (<5Myr) and 30% are older (>10Myr). The opposite happens to the west, near GU CMa, in areas lacking molecular gas: among 79 objects, 30% are young and 50% are older. These findings confirm that a first episode of distributed star formation occurred in the whole studied region ~10Myr ago and dispersed the molecular gas, while a second, localized episode (<5Myr) took place in the regions where molecular gas is still present. For this work, four fields (each about 30-arcmin diameter with some overlap) were observed with the XMM-Newton satellite. These fields are located inside the arc-shaped ionized nebula, next to Z CMa - Field E (east); around GU CMa - Field W (west); and between both - Field C (center) and Field S (south), as shown in Figure 1 of the reference paper. These observations were performed with the EPIC cameras (MOS1, MOS2, and PN) in full frame mode with a medium filter. The C, W, and S fields had an exposure time without background corrections of about 30 ks while field E had 40 ks. <pre> RA(J2000) | Dec(J2000) | Designation(s) 07 04 18.3 | -11 27 24.0 | CMa cluster east (Field E) 07 02 58.4 | -11 34 44.7 | CMa cluster center (Field C) 07 02 29.5 | -11 47 12.4 | CMa cluster south (Field S) 07 01 23.0 | -11 19 56.6 | CMa cluster west (Field W) </pre> This table was created by the HEASARC in October 2018 based upon the <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/A+A/609/A127">CDS Catalog J/A+A/609/A127</a> file tableb1.dat.

- Description:
- This table contains some of the results from the first paper of a series devoted to the Lambda Orionis star-forming region, Orion's Head, from the X-ray perspective. The final aim of this research is to provide a comprehensive view of this complex region, which includes several distinct associations and dark clouds. The authors aim to uncover the population of the central, young star cluster Collinder 69, and in particular to find those diskless Class III pre-main sequence objects which have not been identified by previous surveys based on near- and mid-infrared searches, and to establish the X-ray luminosity function for the association. The authors have combined two exposures taken with the XMM-Newton satellite with an exhaustive data set of optical, near- and mid-infrared photometry to assess the membership of the X-ray sources based on different color-color and color-magnitude diagrams, as well as other properties, such as effective temperatures, masses and bolometric luminosities derived from spectral energy distribution fitting and comparison with theoretical isochrones. The presence of circumstellar disks is discussed using mid-infrared photometry from the Spitzer Space Telescope. The authors searched for optical and IR counterparts for their X-ray detections, using a radius of 5.1 arcseconds. This search radius is motivated by the astrometry of XMM-Newton (~ 1-2 arcsec) and the statistical errors of the X-ray sources (<= 4 arcsecs). Multiple counterparts were found for several X-ray sources within their search radius. The visual inspection of all optical and IR images indicated that in a few cases there were additional possible counterparts even slightly beyond this search radius. In order to be as comprehensive as possible, the authors have also retained them. They compiled a master catalog with all sources that were present in at least one of the mappings (optical, near-IR or mid-IR) and extracted the photometry from these surveys. The photometry of all possible counterparts to X-ray sources is listed in this table. The reference sources for the optical and infrared magnitudes are discussed in Section 3 of the reference paper. In this table, they are coded as follows: <pre> Code Reference Source 1 = 2MASS Catalog, CDS Cat. II/246 2 = XMM-Newton Optical Monitor (XMM OM) 3 = Spitzer 4 = Omega 2000 Camera photometry in 2005 5 = CFHT1999 Survey 6 = Barrado y Navascues et al.

A companion HEASARC Browse table COLL69XMM contains the X-ray data for these X-ray sources. This table was created by the HEASARC in July 2011 based on the electronic versions of Tables 5, 6, 8 and 9 from the reference paper which were obtained from the CDS (their catalog J/A+A/526/A21 files table5.dat, table6.dat, table8.dat and table9.dat).
