- Description:
- We present the results of the XMM-Newton catalogue of BL Lacs. X-ray and optical UV properties is presented based on the cross-correlation with the 1151 BL Lacs listed in the 5th edition of the Roma-BZCAT. The X-ray counterparts to these objects are searched in the field of view of all pointed observations in the XMM-Newton archive over nearly 20 years of mission. The cross-correlation yields a total of 310 XMM-Newton fields which correspond to 103 different BL Lacs. Data from the three EPIC cameras (X-ray) and OM (optical/UV) are homogeneously analysed using the XMM-Newton SAS software. Images, light curves and spectral products are produced for those BL Lacs detected in any of the three EPIC cameras. Two different phenomenological models, log parabola and power law, with different variations of the absorbing column density, are tested and their parameters extracted. Time variability information is derived from the light curves following well established statistical methods, and we quantify variability through statistical indicators. OM magnitudes and fluxes are computed when available.

- Description:
- In this paper we investigate the properties of low X-ray-to-optical flux ratio sources detected in a wide-area (2.5{deg}^2^) shallow [fX(0.5-8keV)~10^-14^erg/s/cm^2^] XMM-Newton survey. We find a total of 26 sources (5 per cent of the total X-ray-selected population) with log(fX)/f(opt)<-0.9 to the above flux limit. Optical spectroscopy is available for 20 of these low X-ray-to-optical flux ratio objects.

- Description:
- We present an analysis of the X-ray spectral properties of 61 hard X-ray (2-8keV) selected sources from the bright XMM-Newton/2dF (f(2-8keV)>10^-14^erg/cm^2^/s) survey. This comprises nine XMMNewton pointings in the North Galactic Pole region (~1.6deg^2^) and overlaps with the SDSS, 2QZ and 2dFGRS surveys. Our sources contribute about 50 per cent of the 2-10keV X-ray background down to the flux limit of 10^-14^erg/cm^2^/s. The hardness ratio distribution of the sample suggests a deficit of heavily absorbed sources. Spectroscopic identifications exist for 34 sources.

- Date:

- Publisher:

- Description:
- The XMM-Newton Extended Survey of the Taurus Molecular Cloud (XEST) surveys the most populated ~5 square degrees of the Taurus Molecular Cloud, using the XMM-Newton X-ray observatory to study the thermal structure, variability, and long-term evolution of hot plasma, to investigate the magnetic dynamo, and to search for new potential members of the association. We present overall correlations with fundamental stellar parameters that were derived from the previous literature. The present overview paper introduces the project and provides the basic results from the X-ray analysis of all sources detected in the XEST survey. Comprehensive tables summarize the stellar properties of all targets surveyed. The survey goes deeper than previous X-ray surveys of Taurus by about an order of magnitude and for the first time systematically accesses very faint and strongly absorbed TMC objects. We find a detection rate of 85% and 98% for classical and weak-line T Tauri stars (CTTS resp. WTTS), and identify about half of the surveyed protostars and brown dwarfs. Overall, 136 out of 169 surveyed stellar systems are detected. We describe an X-ray luminosity vs. mass correlation, discuss the distribution of X-ray-to-bolometric luminosity ratios, and show evidence for lower X-ray luminosities in CTTS compared to WTTS.

- Description:
- We present the first results from the XMM-Newton Galactic Plane Survey (XGPS). In the first phase of the programme, 22 pointings were used to cover a region of approximately 3 deg^2^between 19{deg} and 22{deg} in Galactic longitude and +/-0.6{deg} in latitude. In total we have resolved over 400 point X-ray sources, at >=5{sigma} significance, down to a flux limit of ~2x10^-14^erg/s/cm^2^(2-10 keV).

- XMM-Newton galaxy clusters X-ray properties
- Short Name:
- J/ApJ/794/48
- Date:

- Publisher:

- Description:
- We present new X-ray temperatures and improved X-ray luminosity estimates for 15 new and archival XMM-Newton observations of galaxy clusters at intermediate redshift with mass and luminosities near the galaxy group/cluster division (M_2500_<2.4x10_70_^-1^M_{sun}_, L<2x10^44^erg/s, 0.3<z<0.6). These clusters have weak-lensing mass measurements based on Hubble Space Telescope observations of clusters representative of an X-ray-selected sample (the ROSAT 160SD survey). The angular resolution of XMM-Newton allows us to disentangle the emission of these galaxy clusters from nearby point sources, which significantly contaminated previous X-ray luminosity estimates for 6 of the 15 clusters. We extend cluster scaling relations between X-ray luminosity, temperature, and weak-lensing mass for low-mass, X-ray-selected clusters out to redshift ~0.45. These relations are important for cosmology and the astrophysics of feedback in galaxy groups and clusters. Our joint analysis with a sample of 50 clusters in a similar redshift range but with larger masses (M_500_<21.9x10^14^M_{sun}_, 0.15<=z<=0.55) from the Canadian Cluster Comparison Project finds that within r_2500_, M{prop.to}L^0.44+/-0.05^, T{prop.to}L^0.23+/-0.02^, and M{prop.to}T^1.9+/-0.2^. The estimated intrinsic scatter in the M-L relation for the combined sample is reduced to {sigma}_log(M|L)_=0.10, from {sigma}_log(M|L)_=0.26 with the original ROSAT measurements. We also find an intrinsic scatter for the T-L relation, {sigma}_log(T|L)_=0.07+/-0.01.

- Description:
- The XMM-Newton observatory is a cornerstone mission of the European Space Agency (ESA) Horizon 2000 program. This spacecraft, the largest ever flown by ESA for a scientific program, was launched on December 10, 1999, carrying a payload funded by ESA member states and the USA (NASA). The scientific payload comprises three CCD imaging cameras (European Photon Imaging Cameras, EPIC), sensitive in the 0.1-15 keV band, and two Reflecting Grating Spectrometers (RGS), sensitive in the 0.3-2.1 keV band, and characterized by a resolving power E/{Delta}E = 100 to 800. The X-ray instruments are complemented by an Optical Monitor, sensitive in the 150-650nm band, which allows simultaneous multiwavelength monitoring of celestial sources. The XMM-Newton observational program is determined on the bases of the proposals sent in response to Announcement of Opportunities, and selected by peer review panels. The XMM-Newton Science Archive (XSA) contains all the science data of all the performed observations. Its user interface (http:xmm.vilspa.esa.es/xsa) allows a user to retrieve them after the 1-year proprietary period has expired. Calibration observations are normally not covered by proprietary rights; their data being therefore public. Target of Opportunity and Discretionary Time observations have a 6-months proprietary period. For each archived observation, the XSA stores Observation Data Files (ODF) and Pipeline Processing System (PPS) products, if available, as well as the XMM-Newton EPIC serendipitous catalogue, the OM source catalogue and the Slew Survey Source Catalogue (see the catalogues documentation at http://xmm.esac.esa.int/xsa). The ODF comprises raw telemetry files, reformatted in FITS format, and contains uncalibrated information. The PPS products are a collection of top-level, validated scientific and cross-correlation products, routinely generated by the Science Survey Center, University of Leicester, UK (http://xmmssc-www.star.le.ac.uk). The content of the XSA is updated daily. The latest version of all the scientific data is made available through its interface. Systematic reprocessing of all the XMM-Newton telemetry is periodically carried on during the mission. The last bulk reprocessing was performed in 2007. The XMM-Newton observation log lists all the science observations included in the XSA. This log gives observation details and provides links to quick-look scientific products, to documents describing XMM-Newton science and calibration data, and to the SAS (Science Analysis System), a specific software package designed to reduce and analyze XMM-Newton data. Additional links in the log allows a user to start a retrieval session for the data of an observation, whenever not protected by proprietary rights.

- XMM-Newton observation of NGC 2613
- Short Name:
- J/MNRAS/371/147
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- We present an XMM-Newton observation of the massive edge-on Sb galaxy NGC 2613. We discover that this galaxy contains a deeply embedded active nucleus with a 0.3-10keV luminosity of 3.3x10^40^erg/s and a line-of-sight absorption column of 1.2x10^23^cm^-2^. Within the 25mag arcsec-2 optical B-band isophote of the galaxy, we detect an additional four sources with an accumulated luminosity of 4.3x10^39^erg/s. The bulk of the unresolved X-ray emission spatially follows the near-infrared (NIR) K-band surface brightness distribution; the luminosity ratio LX/LK~8x10^-4^ is consistent with that inferred from galactic discrete sources. This X-ray-NIR association and the compatibility of the X-ray spectral fit with the expected spectrum of a population of discrete sources suggest that low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) are the most likely emitters of the unresolved emission in the disc region.
