- Description:
- Thanks to the large collecting area (3x~1500cm^2^ at 1.5keV) and wide field of view (30' across in full field mode) of the X-ray cameras on board the European Space Agency X-ray observatory XMM-Newton, each individual pointing can result in the detection of hundreds of X-ray sources, most of which are newly discovered. Recently, many improvements in the XMM-Newton data reduction algorithms have been made. These include enhanced source characterisation and reduced spurious source detections, refined astrometric precision of sources, greater net sensitivity for source detection and the extraction of spectra and time series for fainter sources, with better signal-to-noise. Further, almost 50% more observations are in the public domain compared to 2XMMi-DR3, allowing the XMM-Newton Survey Science Centre (XMM-SSC) to produce a much larger and better quality X-ray source catalogue. The XMM-SSC has developed a pipeline to reduce the XMM-Newton data automatically and using improved calibration a new catalogue version has been made from XMM-Newton data made public by 2013 Dec. 31 (13 years of data). Manual screening ensures the highest data quality. This catalogue is known as 3XMM. In the latest release, 3XMM-DR5, there are 565962 X-ray detections comprising 396910 unique X-ray sources. For the 133000 brightest sources, spectra and lightcurves are provided. For all detections, the positions on the sky, a measure of the detection quality, and an evaluation of variability is provided, along with the fluxes and count rates in 7 X-ray energy bands, the total 0.2-12keV band counts, and four hardness ratios. To identify the detections, a cross correlation with 228 catalogues is also provided for each X-ray detection. 3XMM-DR5 is the largest X-ray source catalogue ever produced. Thanks to the large array of data products, it is an excellent resource in which to find new and extreme objects.

- Description:
- Sky surveys produce enormous quantities of data on extensive regions of the sky. The easiest way to access this information is through catalogues of standardised data products. XMM-Newton has been surveying the sky in the X-ray, ultra-violet and optical bands for 20 years. The XMM-Newton Survey Science Centre has been producing standardised data products and catalogues to facilitate access to the serendipitous X-ray sky. Using improved calibration and enhanced software we re-reduced all of the 14041 XMM-Newton X-ray observations. 11204 observations contained data with at least one detection and with these we created a new, high quality version of the XMM-Newton serendipitous source catalogue, 4XMM-DR9. 4XMM-DR9 contains 810795 detections down to a detection significance of 3{sigma}, of which 550124 are unique sources, that cover 1152-degrees^2^ (2.85%) of the sky. Filtering 4XMM-DR9 to retain only the cleanest sources with at least a 5{sigma} detection significance leaves 433612 detections. 99.6% of these detections have no pileup. 336 columns of information on each detection are provided, along with images. The quality of the source detection is shown to have improved significantly with respect to previous versions of the catalogues. Spectra and lightcurves are also made available for more than 288000 of the brightest sources (36% of all detections).

- Description:
- The 2XMMi-DR3 catalogue is the fifth publicly released XMM X-ray source catalogue produced by the XMM Survey Science Centre (SSC) consortium on behalf of ESA. It follows the 1XMM (Cat. IX/37, released in April 2003), 2XMMp (July 2006), 2XMM (Cat. IX/39, August 2007) and 2XMMi (Cat. IX/40, August 2008) catalogues: 2XMMp was a preliminary version of 2XMM. 2XMMi and 2XMMi-DR3 are incremental versions of the 2XMM catalogue. In summary, the versions are: -------------------------------------------- Name DR# Designation Year Cat. -------------------------------------------- 2XMMp 0 2XMMp-DR0 2006 2XMM 1 2XMM-DR1 2007 IX/39 2XMMi 2 2XMMi-DR2 2008 IX/40 2XMMi-DR3 3 2XMMi-DR3 2010 IX/41 -------------------------------------------- The production and content of the 2XMM catalogue is described in detail in "The XMM-Newton serendipitous survey. V. The second XMM-Newton serendipitous source catalogue", M.G. Watson et al., 2009A&A...493..339W; there are no significant differences in the processing between the 2XMM, 2XMMi and 2XMMi-DR3 observations The "slim" version of the catalogue (file "xmm2r3s.dat") contains one row per unique source, while the the main catalogue has one row per detection. This slim version includes 38 columns, essentially those containing information about the unique sources, while the full catalogue (file "xmm2r3.fit") describes the 353191 detections with 299 columns. The slim version also contains a column with links to the LEDAS summary pages. In the case of sources with multiple detections the summary page of the best detection is selected (i.e., the detection with the largest exposure time, summed over all cameras), and the summary page gives cross-links to the other detections.

- Description:
- X-ray sources at intermediate fluxes (a few x10^-14^erg/cm^2^/s) with a sky density of ~100deg^-2^ are responsible for a significant fraction of the cosmic X-ray background at various energies below 10keV. The aim of this paper is to provide an unbiased and quantitative description of the X-ray source population at these fluxes and in various X-ray energy bands. We present the XMM-Newton Medium sensitivity Survey (XMS), including a total of 318 X-ray sources found among the serendipitous content of 25 XMM-Newton target fields. The XMS comprises four largely overlapping source samples selected at soft (0.5-2keV), intermediate (0.5-4.5keV), hard (2-10keV) and ultra-hard (4.5-7.5keV) bands, the first three of them being flux-limited.

- Description:
- Pointed observations with XMM-Newton provide the basis for creating catalogues of X-ray sources detected serendipitously in each field. This paper describes the creation and characteristics of the 2XMM catalogue. The 2XMM catalogue has been compiled from a new processing of the XMM-Newton EPIC camera data. The main features of the processing pipeline are described in detail. The catalogue, the largest ever made at X-ray wavelengths, contains 246897 detections drawn from 3491 public XMM-Newton observations over a 7-year interval, which relate to 191870 unique sources. The catalogue fields cover a sky area of more than 500deg^2^. The non-overlapping sky are a is ~360deg^2^ (~1% of the sky) as many regions of the sky are observed more than once by XMM-Newton. The catalogue probes a large sky area at the flux limit where the bulk of the objects that contribute to the X-ray background lie and provides a major resource for generating large, well-defined X-ray selected source samples, studying the X-ray source population and identifying rare object types. The main characteristics of the catalogue are presented, including its photometric and astrometric properties The 2XMMi catalogue is available as Cat. <IX/40> in VizieR.

- Description:
- We report on the production of a large area, shallow, sky survey, from XMM-Newton slews. The great collecting area of the mirrors coupled with the high quantum efficiency of the EPIC detectors have made XMM-Newton the most sensitive X-ray observatory flown to date. We use data taken with the EPIC-pn camera during slewing manoeuvres to perform an X-ray survey of the sky. Data from 218 slews have been subdivided into small images and source searched. This has been done in three distinct energy bands; a soft (0.2-2keV) band, a hard (2-12keV) band and a total XMM-Newton band (0.2-12keV). Detected sources, have been quality controlled to remove artifacts and a catalogue has been drawn from the remaining sources. A "full" catalogue, containing 4710 detections and a "clean" catalogue containing 2692 sources have been produced, from 14% of the sky. In the hard X-ray band (2-12keV) 257 sources are detected in the clean catalogue to a flux limit of 4x10^-12^erg/s/cm^2^. The flux limit for the soft (0.2-2keV) band is 6x10^-13^erg/s/cm^2^ and for the total (0.2-12keV) band is 1.2x10^-12^erg/s/cm^2^. The source positions are shown to have an uncertainty of 8" (1{sigma} confidence).
