- 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.

- 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.

- 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).

- Description:
- The coeval AGN and galaxy evolution and the observed local relations between super-massive black holes (SMBHs) and galaxy properties suggest some connection or feedback between SMBH growth and galaxy build-up. The authors looked for correlations between properties of X-ray detected AGN and their far-infrared (FIR) detected host galaxies, to find quantitative evidences for this connection, highly debated in recent years. They exploit the rich multi-wavelength data set (from X-ray to FIR) that is available in the COSMOS field for a large sample (692 sources) of AGN and their hosts, in the redshift range 0.1 < z < 4, and use X-ray data to select AGN and determine their properties (intrinsic luminosity and nuclear obscuration), and broad-band (from UV to FIR) spectral energy distribution (SED) fitting to derive host galaxy properties, viz., the stellar mass (M<sub>*</sub>) and the star formation rate (SFR). The authors find that the AGN 2-10 keV luminosity (L<sub>X</sub>) and the host galaxy 8-1000 um star formation luminosity (L<sup>SF</sup><sub>IR</sub>) are significantly correlated. However, the average host L<sup>SF</sup><sub>IR</sub> has a flat distribution in bins of AGN L<sub>X</sub>, while the average AGN L<sub>X</sub> increases in bins of host L<sup>SF</sup><sub>IR</sub>, with a logarithmic slope of ~ 0.7, in the redshifts range 0.4 < z < 1.2. In the reference paper, the authors also discuss the comparison between the distribution of these two quantities and the predictions from hydrodynamical simulations. Finally, they find that the average column density (N<sub>H</sub>) shows a positive correlation with the host M<sub>*</sub>, at all redshifts, but not with the SFR (or L<sup>SF</sup><sub>IR</sub>). This translates into a negative correlation with specific SFR. These results are in agreement with the idea that BH accretion and SFRs are correlated, but occur with different variability time scales. The presence of a positive correlation between N<sub>H</sub> and host M<sub>*</sub> suggests that the X-ray N<sub>H</sub> is not entirely due to the circumnuclear obscuring torus, but may also include a contribution from the host galaxy. This table summarizes the multiwavelength properties of the 692 AGN-host systems detected in the COSMOS field both in the X-ray and in the FIR (the X-FIR sample). This table was created by the HEASARC in July 2017, based on <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/A+A/602/A123">CDS Catalog J/A+A/602/A123</a> file table1.dat, which contains the multiwavelength properties of the 692 sources in the X-FIR sample.

- Description:
- Cyg OB2 is one of the most massive associations of O-type stars in our Galaxy. Despite the large interstellar reddening towards Cyg OB2, many studies, spanning a wide range of wavelengths, have been conducted to more clearly understand this association. X-ray observations provide a powerful tool to overcome the effect of interstellar absorption and study the most energetic processes associated with the stars in Cyg OB2. The author analyses XMM-Newton data to investigate the X-ray and UV properties of massive O-type stars as well as low-mass pre-main sequence stars in Cyg OB2. Six XMM-Newton observations of the core of Cyg OB2 were obtained. In the analysis, the author paid particular attention to the variability of the X-ray bright OB stars, especially the luminous blue variable candidate Cyg OB2 #12. He found that X-ray variability is quite common among the stars in Cyg OB2. While short-term variations are restricted mostly to low-mass pre-main sequence stars, one third of the OB stars display long-term variations. The X-ray flux of CygO B2 #12 varies by 37%, over timescales from days to years, while its mean log L<sub>X</sub>/L<sub>bol</sub> amounts to -6.10. These properties suggest that Cyg OB2 wind. Two other X-ray bright O-type stars (MT91 516 and CPR2002A11) display variations that suggest they are interacting wind binary systems. This table lists the general properties of the X-ray sources detected in Cyg OB2 with the EPIC cameras onboard XMM-Newton as given in Table 2 of the reference paper. An additional list of the properties of the sources detected inside Cyg OB2 with the two UV filters of the OM instrument onboard XMM-Newton which was contained in Table 4 of the reference paper is not included herein.

- Description:
- The formation and evolution of cosmic structures can be probed by studying the evolution of the luminosity function of the Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs), galaxies and clusters of galaxies and of the clustering of the X-ray active Universe, compared to the IR-UV active Universe. To this purpose, the authors have surveyed with XMM-Newton the central ~0.6 deg<sup>2</sup> region of the ELAIS-S1 field down to flux limits of ~5.5 x 10<sup>-16</sup> erg cm<sup>-2</sup> s<sup>-1</sup> (0.5-2 keV, soft band, S), ~2 x 10<sup>-15</sup> erg cm<sup>-2</sup> s<sup>-1</sup> (2-10 keV, hard band, H), and ~4 x 10<sup>-15</sup> erg cm<sup>-2</sup> s<sup>-1</sup> (5-10 keV, ultra-hard band, HH). They present here the analysis of the XMM-Newton observations, the number counts in different energy bands and the clustering properties of the X-ray sources. They have detected a total of 478 sources, 395 and 205 of which detected in the S and H bands respectively. They identified 7 clearly extended sources and estimated their redshift through X-ray spectral fits with thermal models. In four cases the redshift is consistent with z = 0.4, so they may have detected a large scale structure formed by groups and clusters of galaxies through their hot intra-cluster gas emission. The relative density of the S band sources is higher near the clusters and groups at z ~ 0.4 and extends toward East and the South/West. This suggests that the structure is complex, with a size comparable to the full XMM-Newton field. Conversely, the highest relative source densities of the H band sources are located in the central-west region of the field. The mosaic of four partially overlapping deep XMM-Newton pointings covers a large (~0.6 deg<sup>2</sup>) and contiguous area of the ELAIS-S1 region. The pointings are named <pre> ELAIS-S1-A (RA=8.91912, DE=-43.31344, J2000), ELAIS-S1-B (RA=8.92154, DE=-43.65575, J2000), ELAIS-S1-C (RA=8.42195, DE=-43.30488, J2000) and ELAIS-S1-D (RA=8.42375, DE=-43.65327, J2000). </pre> The X-ray observations were performed on May 2003 through July 2003 with XMM-Newton's European Photon Imaging Camera (EPIC) and two MOS-CCD cameras.

- ELAIS S1 Field X-Ray Source Optical/IR Identifications Catalog
- Short Name:

- Date:

- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- This table contains the optical identifications and a multi-band catalog of a sample of 478 X-ray sources detected in the XMM-Newton and Chandra surveys of the central 0.6 deg<sup>2</sup> of the ELAIS-S1 field. The most likely optical/infrared counterpart of each X-ray source was identified using the chance coincidence probability in the R and IRAC 3.6 micron bands.This method was complemented by the precise positions obtained through Chandra observations. The authors were able to associate a counterpart to each X-ray source in the catalogue. Approximately 94% of them are detected in the R band, while the remaining are blank fields in the optical down to R ~ 24.5, but have a near-infrared counterpart detected by IRAC within 6 arcsec of the XMM-Newton centroid. The multi-band catalog, produced using the positions of the identified optical counterparts, contains photometry in ten photometric bands, from B to the MIPS 24 micron band. The spectroscopic follow-up allowed us to determine the redshift and classification for 237 sources (~ 50% of the sample) brighter than R = 24. The spectroscopic redshifts were complemented by reliable photometric redshifts for 68 sources. The authors classified 47% of the sources with spectroscopic redshift as broad-line active galactic nuclei (BL AGNs) with z = 0.1-3.5, while sources without broad-lines (NOT BL AGNs) are about 46% of the spectroscopic sample and are found up to z = 2.6. The remaining fraction is represented by extended X-ray sources and stars. The authors spectroscopically identified 11 type 2 QSOs among the sources with F(2-10 keV)/F(R) > 8, with redshift between 0.9 and 2.6, high 2-10 keV luminosity (log L(2-10 keV) >= 43.8 erg/s) and hard X-ray colors suggesting large absorbing columns at the rest frame (log N<sub>H</sub> up to 23.6 cm<sup>-2</sup>). BL AGNs show on average blue optical-to-near-infrared colors, softer X-ray colors and X-ray-to-optical colors typical of optically selected AGNs. Conversely, narrow-line sources show redder optical colors, harder X-ray flux ratio and span a wider range of X-ray-to-optical colors. On average the Spectral Energy Distributions (SEDs) of high-luminosity BL AGNs resemble the power-law typical of unobscured AGNs. The SEDs of NOT BLAGNs are dominated by the galaxy emission in the optical/near-infrared, and show a rise in the mid-infrared which suggests the presence of an obscured active nucleus. The authors have used the infrared-to-optical colors and near-infrared SEDs to infer the properties of the AGN host galaxies. Identifications and photometric parameters for 478 sources detected by XMM-Newton in the ELAIS-S1 field are given. For each source, the X-ray positions and fluxes, optical position and photometry, Spitzer IRAC and MIPS 24 micron positions and fluxes, spectroscopic redshift where available, photometric redshift and SED shape classification are given.

- Ensemble X-Ray Variability of AGN in 2XMMi-DR3
- Short Name:

- Date:

- Publisher:
- NASA/GSFC HEASARC
- Description:
- The X-ray variability of 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. In their study, the authors aimed to determine the ensemble variability properties of two serendipitously selected AGN samples extracted from the catalogs of XMM-Newton and Swift (the latter is not included in this table, notice), with redshift between ~ 0.2 and ~ 4.5, and X-ray luminosities, in the 0.5 - 4.5 keV band, between ~ 10<sup>43</sup> erg/s and ~ 10<sup>46</sup> erg/s. They 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. The authors find statistically consistent results for the two samples, with the SF described by a power law of the time lag tau, approximately as SF ~ tau<sup>0.1</sup>. They do not find evidence of the break in the SF, at variance with the case of lower luminosity AGNs. They confirm a strong anti-correlation of the variability with X-ray luminosity, accompanied by a change of the slope of the SF. They also find evidence in support of a weak, intrinsic, average increase of X-ray variability with redshift. For XMM, the authors used the version of the Serendipitous Source Catalog then available, namely 2XMMi-DR3, the latest incremental update of the second version of the catalogue, with observations made between 2000 February 3 and 2008 October 08; all datasets were publicly available by 2009 October 31, but not all public observations are included in this catalog. The total area of the catalog fields is ~ 814 deg<sup>2</sup>, but taking account of the substantial overlaps between observations, the net sky area covered independently is ~ 504 deg<sup>2</sup>. The 2XMMi-DR3 catalogue contains 353,191 detections (above the processing likelihood threshold of 6), related to 262,902 unique X-ray sources, therefore a significant number of sources (41,979) have more than one record within the catalog. The selected sources were cross-correlated with the DR7 edition of the SDSS Quasar Catalog (Schneider et al. 2010, AJ, 139, 2360) to obtain redshifts and spectral classifications for the sources. The authors used a maximum distance of 1.5 arcseconds, corresponding to the uncertainty in the X-ray positions, resulting in 412 quasars that were observed by XMM-Newton from 2 to 25 epochs each for a total of 1376 observations. The authors refer to these sources as the XMM-Newton sample.

- Description:
- This table contains the results of a deep (about 80 ks) XMM-Newton survey of the largest sample of near-infrared-selected Extremely Red Objects (R-K > 5) available to date to K<sub>s</sub> < ~19.2. At the relatively bright X-ray fluxes ((F(2-10 keV) >~ 4 x 10<sup>-15</sup> erg cm<sup>-2</sup> s<sup>-1</sup>) and near-infrared magnitude probed by the present observations, the fraction of AGN (i.e. X-ray detected) among the ERO population is small (~3.5%); conversely, the fraction of EROs among hard X-ray selected sources is much higher (~20%). The X-ray properties of the 9 EROs detected in this XMM-Newton observation indicate absorption in excess of 10<sup>22</sup> cm<sup>-2</sup> in a large fraction of them. The X-ray, optical and near-infrared properties of those X-ray selected EROs with a spectroscopic or photometric redshift nicely match those expected for type 2 quasars, the high-luminosity, high-redshift obscured AGNs predicted in baseline XRB synthesis models. A close correlation is detected between X-ray and K-band fluxes. This table contains the X-ray and optical information for the sources detected in the sum of 3 separate XMM-Newton observations of a field centered on 14 49 25, +09 00 13 (J2000.0 RA and Dec) known as the "Daddi" field (Daddi et al. 2000, A&A, 361, 535) in which 257 EROs are known to be present. The data from all 3 EPIC instruments (PN, MOS1 and MOS2) obtained in the 3 observations was combined, yielding a total exposure time for the PN of ~82 ks, and for the MOS instruments of ~78 ks. The X-ray hardness ratio (HR) and the optical to near-infrared color (R and K magnitudes) are reported for all the detected X-ray sources and their counterparts, along with the reliability of the X-ray to optical or near-infrared associations as measured by the likelihood ratios, LR(R) and LR(K). This table lists data for the 111 proposed optical/infrared counterparts for the 97 detected X-ray sources, i.e., X-ray sources with more than one possible optical/IR counterpart will have multiple entries in this table, one for each counterpart, as follows: 73 X-ray sources have secure optical/near-IR counterparts (counterpart_status=1), 7 X-ray sources have 2 possible 'likely' counterparts, and 1 X-ray source has 3 such counterparts (counterpart_status=2), 6 X-ray sources have only low-likelihood counterparts all of which lie outside the 3" matching radii (counterpart_status=3), and the remaining 9 X-ray sources lack optical and infrared photometry (counterpart_status=4).

- Description:
- This table contains some of the results of a deep archive XMM-Newton observation of the Fornax spheroidal galaxy that the authors analyzed with the aim of fully characterizing the X-ray source population (in most of the cases likely to be background active galactic nuclei) detected towards the target. A cross-correlation with the available databases allowed them to find a source that may be associated with a variable star belonging to the galaxy. The authors also searched for X-ray sources in the vicinity of the Fornax globular clusters GC 3 and GC 4 and found two sources probably associated with the respective clusters. The deep X-ray observation was also suitable for the search for the intermediate-mass black hole (of mass ~ 10<sup>4</sup> solar masses) expected to be hosted in the center of the galaxy. In the case of Fornax, this search is extremely difficult since the galaxy centroid of gravity is poorly constrained because of the large asymmetry observed in the optical surface brightness. Since the authors cannot firmly establish the existence of an X-ray counterpart of the putative black hole, they put constraints only on the accretion parameters. In particular, they found that the corresponding upper limit on the accretion efficiency, with respect to the Eddington luminosity, is as low as a few 10<sup>-5</sup>.

- Description:
- This table contains some of the results from an X-ray study of our nearest starburst galaxy IC 10, based on XMM-Newton and Chandra observations. It contains a list of 73 XMM-Newton and 28 Chandra detections of point-like X-ray sources in the field of this galaxy; a substantial fraction of them are likely to be stellar objects in the Milky Way due to the low Galactic latitude location of IC 10. The brightest source in the IC 10 field, X-1, has a mean 0.3-8.0 keV luminosity of ~1.2E38 erg s<sup>-1</sup> and shows a large variation by a factor of up to ~6 on timescales of ~10<sup>4</sup> s during the XMM-Newton observation. The XMM-Newton observations were taken on 2003 July 3 with a total exposure time of ~45 ks for the EPIC-MOS cameras and ~42 ks for the European Photon Imaging Camera (EPIC) PN camera. The authors use only the data from the PN camera (with a thin optical blocking filter) because of its high sensitivity to soft X-rays in the study of diffuse emission and include the data from the MOS cameras in the analysis of X-1. The Chandra observation, taken on 2003 March 12 with an exposure of 29 ks and already described by Bauer and Brandt (2004, ApJ, 601, 67), was reprocessed by the authors using the then-latest CIAO software (version 3.2.1) and calibration database (version 3.0.0). The authors used the Two-Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS) All-Sky Catalog of Point Sources (Cutri et al. 2003 CDS Catalog II/246) to search for potential counterparts. They cross-correlated the spatial positions of the objects in this catalog with their X-ray source positions, using a matching radius of 4 arcsec for XMM-Newton PN sources and 2 arcsec for Chandra ACIS sources. The radius was chosen to be greater than the 1-sigma statistical position uncertainty of almost all the sources.In no case is there a match with multiple 2MASS objects. The 3-sigma limiting sensitivities of the 2MASS Catalog are 17.1, 16.4 and 15.3 mag in the three bands, J, H, and K<sub>S</sub>, respectively.

- Description:
- Very young open clusters are ideal places to study the X-ray properties of a homogeneous population of early-type stars. In this respect, the IC 1805 open cluster is very interesting as it hosts the O4 If+ star HD 15570 that is thought to be in an evolutionary stage intermediate between a normal O-star and a Wolf-Rayet star. Such a star could provide a test for theoretical models aiming at explaining the empirical scaling relation between the X-ray and bolometric luminosities of O-type stars. The authors have observed IC 1805 with XMM-Newton and further collected optical spectroscopy of some of the O-star members of the cluster. The optical spectra allowed them to revisit the orbital solutions of BD +60 497 and HD 15558, and provided the first evidence of binarity for BD +60 498. X-ray emission from colliding winds does not appear to play an important role among the O-stars of IC 1805. Notably, the X-ray fluxes do not vary significantly between archival X-ray observations and the present XMM-Newton pointing. The very fast rotator BD +60 513, and to a lesser extent the O4 If+ star HD 15570, appear somewhat underluminous. While the underluminosity of HD 15570 is only marginally significant, its amplitude is found to be compatible with theoretical expectations based on its stellar and wind properties. A number of other X-ray sources are detected in the field, and the brightest objects, many of which are likely low-mass pre-main sequence stars, are analyzed in detail. This table provides the full catalog of the 191 X-ray sources detected with the EPIC detectors onboard XMM-Newton in the direction of the IC 1805 cluster. The coordinates of the sources were cross-correlated with the optical and IR catalogs of Straizys et al. (2013, A&A, 554, A3), Wolff et al. (2011, ApJ, 726, 19), and the SIMBAD database. The authors adopted in each case a correlation radius of 4 arcseconds.

- Description:
- Using XMM-Newton data, the authors have studied for the first time the X-ray emission of the young star clusters HM1 and IC 2944/2948. Low-mass, pre-main sequence objects with an age of a few Myr are detected, as well as a few background or foreground objects. Most massive stars in both clusters display the usual high-energy properties of that kind of objects, though with log(L<sub>x</sub>/L<sub>bol</sub>) apparently lower in HM1 than in IC 2944/2948. Comparing with studies of other clusters, it seems that low S/N at soft energies, due to the high extinction, may the main cause of this difference. In HM1, the two Wolf-Rayet stars show contrasting behaviors: WR89 is extremely bright, but much softer than WR87. It remains to be seen whether wind-wind collisions or magnetically confined winds can explain such emissions. In IC 2944/2948, the X-ray sources concentrate around HD 101205; a group of massive stars to the north of this object appears rather isolated, suggesting that there exist two sub-clusters in the field of view. This tables provides the list of 368 detected X-ray sources in/toward the Cen OB2 association cluster(s) IC 2944/2948 only, i.e., the 58 X-ray sources detected in/toward the HM1 cluster are not contained herein. This tables lists the basic X-ray source properties (position, count rates, hardness ratios) and their probable optical/infrared counterparts (offset angular distance, name). XMM-Newton has observed IC 2944/2948 for 40 ks on XMM-Newton Rev. 2209 (with the THICK filter). No background flare affected the observation, and no source is bright enough to suffer from pile-up.
