- 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.

- 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:
- 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.

- Publisher:
- CDS
- 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:
- 21 Oct 2021
- 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:
- IX/37
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- 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/)

- XMM-Newton Serendipitous Source Catalogue 3XMM-DR5
- Short Name:
- IX/46
- Date:

- Publisher:
- CDS
- 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:
- The 3XMM-DR8 catalogue contains source detections drawn from 10242 XMM-Newton EPIC observations, covering an energy interval from 0.2 keV to 12 keV. These observations were made between 2000 February 3 and 2017 November 30 and all datasets were publicly available by 2017 December 31, but not all public observations are included in this catalogue (see below for more information). Should you use the catalogue for your research and publish the results, please use the acknowledgement below and cite the paper describing 3XMM (Rosen, Webb, Watson et al., 2016A&A...590A...1R). This research has made use of data obtained from the 3XMM XMM-Newton serendipitous source catalogue compiled by the 10 institutes of the XMM-Newton Survey Science Centre selected by ESA. The following table gives an overview of the statistics of the catalogue in comparison with the 3XMM-DR7 catalogue. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3XMM-DR8 3XMM-DR7 Increment --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Number of observations 10242 9710 532 Number of 'clean' observations 6496 6164 332 (i.e., observation class < 3) Observing interval 03-Feb-00 03-Feb-00 30-Nov-17 15-Dec-16 1 yr Sky coverage, taking overlaps into account ( >=1ksec exposure) 1089sq.deg 1032sq.deg 57sq.deg Number of detections 775153 727790 47363 Number of 'clean' detections (i.e., summary flag < 3) 633733 596268 37465 Number of unique sources 531454 499266 32188 Number of 'cleanest' (summary flag = 0, 12256 11220 1036 not in high-background fields) extended detections Number of detections with spectra 173277 162082 11195 Number of detections with timeseries 173208 162045 11163 Number of detections where probability 5934 5631 303 of timeseries being constant is <1x10^-5^ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The production and content of the 3XMM catalogue is described in the the 3XMM-DR8 User Guide at http://xmmssc.irap.omp.eu/Catalogue/3XMM-DR8/3XMM-DR8_Catalogue_User_Guide.html The slimline version of the catalogue (file "xmm3r8s.dat") contains one row per unique source (while the the main catalogue has one row per detection) and thus has 531454 rows. There are 44 columns, essentially those containing information about the unique sources. The catalogue also contains a column with links to the IRAP catalogue server 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.
