- 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

- 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.

- Description:
- We observed the main core F of the rho Ophiuchi cloud, an active star-forming region located at d~140pc, using XMM-Newton with an exposure of 33ks on February 19, 2001. We detect 87 X-ray sources within the 30' diameter field-of-view of the EPIC imaging detector array with significance above 4.4 sigma. We cross-correlate the positions of XMM-Newton X-ray sources with previous X-ray, infrared (IR), and optical catalogs.

- Description:
- The NGC 1333 star forming region was observed with the European Photon Imaging Cameras (EPIC) on board XMM-Newton on 27/28 February 2002. The observation covered a period of about 14 hours and has a total MOS-equivalent exposure time of 235 ksec. In addition to 46 bright X-ray sources revealed by source detection routines, weak X-ray emission at the positions of 40 X-ray sources detected originally in a recent Chandra observation of NGC 1333 was also detected.

- Description:
- Using the XMM-Newton observatory, we have observed the giant H II region N11 of the LMC. The field includes three OB associations LH9, LH9, and LH13. Our XMM observations included parallel observations with the OM camera that provided us with unique UV and optical photometry of more than 6000 sources. In this paper we present the photometrical data for these sources as well as their cross-identifications with several catalogues.

- Description:
- We report on a 30ks XMM-Newton observation of the central region of the Cha I star forming cloud. The field includes a substantial fraction of the known pre-main-sequence population of Cha I South, including all thirteen known very-low mass H{alpha} emitters. We detect two bona-fide brown dwarfs (spectral types M 7.5 and M 8) and seven H{alpha} emitting objects near the hydrogen burning mass limit, including six of seven earlier detections by ROSAT.

- Description:
- The XMM-Newton survey of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) yields a complete coverage of the bar and eastern wing in the 0.2-12.0keV band. This catalogue comprises 3053 unique X-ray point sources and sources with moderate extent that have been reduced from 5236 individual detections found in observations between April 2000 and April 2010. Sources have a median position uncertainty of 1.3" (1{sigma}) and limiting fluxes down to ~1*10^-14^erg/s/cm2 in the 0.2-4.5keV band, corresponding to 5*10^33^erg/s for sources in the SMC. Sources have been classified using hardness ratios, X-ray variability, and their multi-wavelength properties. In addition to the main-field (5.58deg^2^) available outer fields have been included in the catalogue, yielding a total field area of 6.32deg^2^. X-ray sources with high extent (>40", e.g. supernova remnants and galaxy cluster) have been presented by Haberl et al. (2012, Cat. J/A+A/545/A128)

- 13+38 XMM-Newton/ROSAT 1.4GHz radio catalog
- Short Name:
- J/MNRAS/352/131
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- Description:
- In order to determine the relationship between the faint X-ray and faint radio source populations, and hence to help understand the X-ray and radio emission mechanisms in those faint source populations, we have made a deep 1.4-GHz Very Large Array radio survey of the 13h+38{deg} XMMNewton/ROSAT X-ray Survey Area. From a combined data set of 10-h, B-configuration data and 14-h, A-configuration data, maps with 3.35-arcsec resolution and a noise limit of 7.5Jy were constructed. A complete sample of 449 sources was detected within a 30-arcmin diameter region above a 4 detection limit of 30Jy, at the map centre, making this one of the deepest radio surveys at this frequency. The differential source count shows a significant upturn at submilliJansky flux densities, similar to that seen in other deep surveys at 1.4GHz (e.g. the Phoenix survey, Cat. <J/MNRAS/296/839>), but larger than that seen in the Hubble Deep Field (HDF) which may have been selected to be underdense. This upturn is well modelled by the emergence of a population of medium-redshift star-forming galaxies which dominate at faint flux densities. The brighter source counts are well modelled by active galactic nuclei.

- XMM-Newton Serendipitous Source Catalogue (1XMM)
- Short Name:

- Description:
- 1XMM is the first comprehensive catalogue of serendipitous X-ray sources from the European Space Agency's (ESA) XMM-Newton observatory launched in December 1999, and has been constructed by the XMM-Newton Survey Science Centre (SSC) on behalf of ESA. Most (>80%) of the entries have not previously been reported as X-ray sources. The catalogue contains source detections drawn from 585 XMM-Newton EPIC observations made between 2000 March 1 and 2002 May 5; all datasets were publicly available by 2003 January 31 but not all public observations are included in this catalogue. Net exposure times in these observations range from less than 1000 up to about 100000 seconds. The total area of the catalogue fields is about 90deg^2^, but taking account of the substantial overlaps between observations, the net sky area covered independently is about 50deg^2^. The observations sample, albeit sparsely, most of the sky, with the exception of a 'hole' centered in the Cygnus region, caused by spacecraft observing constraints. The catalogue source detection and parametrization technique is optimized for point-like sources, and has been performed across several photon-energy bands (see "EPIC energy bands" below) and using data from each of the three EPIC cameras PN, MOS-1, MOS-2; the prefixes PN_ M1_ M2_ are generally used to designate the columns of the catalogue related to the detections by the corresponding camera. The catalogue in its FITS version has ~ 400 columns; these include source-detection parameters (likelihood, position coordinates, counts, count rate, flux, hardness ratio, background estimates, errors etc), the results of cross-correlation with a large number of archival catalogues (SIMBAD, NED, USNO, GSC, APM, ROSAT etc), quality 'flags' resulting from visual screening, and 'meta-data' relating to the observation. For practical considerations the ascii version of the catalogue is made of 3 tables representing the sources, the observations and processing details, and the results of the cross-correlations; the names used as column names in the ASCII version are also reported within parentheses in the "Byte-by-Byte" descriptions below. Details about the construction of the catalogue can be found from the XMM-Newton Survey Science Centre (http://xmmssc-www.star.le.ac.uk/)
