XMM-Newton Medium Deep Survey/VIRMOS VLT Deep Survey 4-Sigma Catalog
The XMM-Newton Medium Deep Survey/VIRMOS VLT Deep Survey (XMDS/VVDS) 4-Sigma Catalog contains 286 X-ray sources with their optical identification taken from the XMDS survey (using the XMM-Newton EPIC instrument). It is the first catalog of X-ray sources resulting from the central area of the XMM-LSS (Large-Scale Structure Survey). This first version is limited to sources detected at 4{sigma} at least in one energy band, AND falling in the 1 square degree area covered by the optical photometric VVDS survey, which allowed the authors to provide optical and radio identifications. This table was created by the HEASARC in August 2005 based on CDS table J/A+A/439/413/xmds1.dat. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .
AllWISE Counterparts and Gaia Matches to XMM-Newton Slew Survey (v2.0) Sources
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>.

M 31 Deep XMM-Newton Survey X-Ray Source Catalog
The largest Local Group spiral galaxy, M 31, has been completely imaged for the first time, with an obtained luminosity lower limit ~10<sup>35</sup>erg/s in the 0.2 - 4.5 keV band. This XMM-Newton EPIC survey combines archival observations along the major axis, from June 2000 to July 2004, with observations taken between June 2006 and February 2008 that cover the remainder of the D<sub>25</sub> ellipse. The main goal of the present paper was to study the X-ray source populations of M31. An X-ray catalog of 1897 sources was created ('the XMM LP-total catalog'), with 914 sources detected for the first time. Source classification and identification were based on X-ray hardness ratios, spatial extents of the sources, and cross correlation with catalogs in the X-ray, optical, infrared and radio wavelengths. The authors also analysed the long-term variability of the X-ray sources and this variability allowed them to distinguish between X-ray binaries and active galactic nuclei (AGN). Furthermore, supernova remnant classifications of previous studies that did not use long-term variability as a classification criterion could be validated. Including previous Chandra and ROSAT observations in the long-term variability study allowed the authors to detect additional transient or at least highly variable sources, which are good candidate X-ray binaries. Fourteen of the 30 supersoft source (SSS) candidates represent supersoft emission of optical novae. Many of the 25 supernova remnants (SNRs) and 31 SNR candidates lie within the 10 kpc dust ring and other star-forming regions in M 31. This connection between SNRs and star-forming regions implies that most of the remnants originate in type II supernovae. The brightest sources in X-rays in M 31 belong to the class of X-ray binaries (XRBs). Ten low-mass XRBs (LMXBs) and 26 LMXB candidates were identified based on their temporal variability. In addition, 36 LMXBs and 17 LMXB candidates were identified owing to correlations with globular clusters and globular cluster candidates. From optical and X-ray colour-colour diagrams, possible high-mass XRB (HMXB) candidates were selected. Two of these candidates have an X-ray spectrum as expected for an HMXB containing a neutron star primary. While this survey has greatly improved our understanding of the X-ray source populations in M 31, at this point 65% of the sources can still only be classified as "hard" sources; i.e. it is not possible to decide whether these sources are X-ray binaries or Crab-like supernova remnants in M 31 or X-ray sources in the background. Deeper observations in X-ray and at other wavelengths would help to classify these sources. This table was created by the HEASARC in October 2011 based on <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/A+A/534/A55">CDS Catalog J/A+A/534/A55</a> files table5.dat and table8.dat.

XMM-Newton CFHTLS W1 Field Galaxy Groups Catalog
This table contains a catalog of 128 X-ray galaxy groups, covering a redshift (z) range 0.04 < z <1.23, selected in the ~ 3 deg<sup>2</sup> part of the CFHTLS W1 field overlapping XMM-Newton observations performed under the XMM-LSS project. The authors carry out a statistical study of the redshift evolution out to redshift 1 of the magnitude gap between the first and the second brightest cluster galaxies of a well defined mass-selected group sample. They find that the slope of the relation between the fraction of groups and the magnitude gap steepens with redshift, indicating a larger fraction of fossil groups at lower redshifts. They also find that 22.2% +/- 6% of their groups at z <= 0.6 are fossil groups. The authors compare their results with the predictions of three semi-analytic models based on the Millennium simulation. The intercept of the relation between the magnitude of the brightest galaxy and the value of magnitude gap becomes brighter with increasing redshift. This trend is steeper than the model predictions which the authors attribute to the younger stellar age of the observed brightest cluster galaxies. This trend argues in favor of stronger evolution of the feedback from active galactic nuclei at z < 1 compared to the models. The slope of the relation between the magnitude of the brightest cluster galaxy and the value of the gap does not evolve with redshift and is well reproduced by the models, indicating that the tidal galaxy stripping, put forward as an explanation of the occurrence of the magnitude gap, is both a dominant mechanism and sufficiently well modeled. In this study, the authors analyzed the XMM-Newton observations of the CFHTLS wide (W1) field as a part of the XMM-LSS survey (Pierre et al., 2007, MNRAS, 382, 279). The details of the observations and the data reduction are presented in Bielby et al. (2010, A&A, 523, A66). The authors concentrate on the low-z counterparts of the X-ray sources and use all XMM-Newton observations performed until 2009, covering an area of 2.276 x 2.276 square degrees. The CFHTLS wide observations were carried out in the period between 2003 and 2008, covering an effective survey area of ~ 154 square degrees. The optical images and data of the CFHTLS were obtained with the MegaPrime instrument mounted on the CFHT in the five filters u*, g', r', i' and z'.

M 33 Deep XMM-Newton Survey X-Ray Source Catalog
The authors have obtained a deep 8-field XMM-Newton mosaic of M33 covering the galaxy out to the D<sub>25</sub> isophote and beyond to a limiting 0.2-4.5 keV unabsorbed flux of 5 x 10<sup>-16</sup> erg cm<sup>-2</sup> s<sup>-1</sup> (L > 4 x 10<sup>34</sup> erg s<sup>-1</sup> at the 817 kpc distance of M33). These data allow complete coverage of the galaxy with high sensitivity to soft sources such as diffuse hot gas and supernova remnants (SNRs). In the reference paper, the authors describe the methods they used to identify and characterize 1296 point sources in the 8 fields. They compare their resulting source catalog to the literature, note variable sources, construct hardness ratios, classify soft sources, analyze the source density profile, and measure the X-ray luminosity function (XLF). As a result of the large effective area of XMM-Newton below 1 keV, the survey contains many new soft X-ray sources. The radial source density profile and XLF for the sources suggest that only ~15% of the 391 bright sources with L > 3.6 x 10<sup>35</sup> erg s<sup>-1</sup> are likely to be associated with M33, and more than a third of these are known SNRs. The log(N)-log(S) distribution, when corrected for background contamination, is a relatively flat power law with a differential index of 1.5, which suggests that many of the other M33 sources may be high-mass X-ray binaries. Finally, the authors note the discovery of an interesting new transient X-ray source, which they are unable to classify. The list of XMM-Newton observations used for this survey is given in Table 1 of the reference paper. The data reduction and source detection techniques are described in Section 3 of this same reference. The unabsorbed energy conversion factors (ECF) values for different energy bands and instruments that were used in this paper are as follows (the units are 10<sup>11</sup> counts cm<sup>2</sup> erg<sup>-1</sup>): <pre> HEASARC Energy Band MOS1 MOS2 PN band prefix (keV) Med Filter Med Filter Thin Filter sb0_ 0.2-0.5 0.5009 0.4974 2.7709 sb1_ 0.5-1.0 1.2736 1.2808 6.006 mb_ 1.0-2.0 1.8664 1.8681 5.4819 hb_ 2.0-4.5 0.7266 0.7307 1.9276 fb_ 0.2-4.5 </pre> This table was created by the HEASARC in July 2015 based on an electronic version of Table 3 of the reference paper, the list of XMM-Newton X-ray point sources detected in a deep 8-field mosaic of M33, which was obtained from the ApJS web site.

ELAIS S1 Field XMM-Newton X-Ray Source Catalog
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. This table was created by the HEASARC in June 2008 based on the <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/A+A/457/501">CDS Catalog J/A+A/457/501</a> files elaisxmm.dat and catalog.dat.

XMM-Newton Optical Monitor Chandra Deep Field-South UV Catalog
The XMM-Newton X-ray observatory has performed repeated observations of the Chandra Deep Field-South (CDFS) in 33 epochs (2001 - 2010) through the XMM-CDFS Deep Survey (Comastri et al. 2011, A&A, 526, L9). During the X-ray observations, the XMM-Newton Optical Monitor (XMM-OM) targeted the central 17 x 17 arcmin<sup>2</sup> region of the X-ray field of view, providing simultaneous optical/UV coverage of the CDFS. The resulting set of data can be taken into account to build an XMM-OM catalog of the CDFS, filling the UV spectral coverage between the optical surveys and GALEX observations. This table contains the UV catalog of the XMM-CDFS Deep Survey. Its main purpose is to provide complementary UV average photometric measurements of known optical/UV sources in the CDFS, taking advantage of the unique characteristics of the survey. The data reduction is intended also to improve the standard source detection on individual observations, by cataloguing faint sources through the stacking of their exposure images. The authors reprocessed the XMM-OM data of the survey and stacked the exposures from consecutive observations using the standard SAS tools to process the data obtained during single observations. Average measurements of detections with SAS good quality flags from individual observations and from stacked images have been joined to compile the catalogue. Sources have been validated through the cross-identification within the ESO Imaging Survey (EIS: Arnouts et al. 2001, A&A, 379, 740) and COMBO-17 (Wolf et al. 2004, A&A, 421, 913; 2008, A&A, 492, 933) surveys. Photometric data of 1129 CDFS sources are provided in the main catalog, and optical/UV/X-ray photometric and spectroscopic information from other surveys are also included. The stacking extends the detection limits by ~1 mag in the three UV bands, contributing 30% of the catalogued UV sources. The comparison with the available measurements in similar spectral bands confirms the validity of the XMM-OM calibration. The combined COMBO-17/X-ray classification of the "intermediate" sources (e.g. optically diluted and/or X-ray absorbed AGN) is also discussed in the reference paper. This table was created by the HEASARC in June 2015 based on the union of <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/ApJS/217/4/">CDS Catalog J/ApJS/217/4/</a> files omcdfst7.dat (the 1,129 sources in the main catalog) and omcdfst8.dat (the 44 sources in the supplementary catalog).

Sloan Digital Sky Survey Stripe 82 XMM-Newton Source Match Catalog
This table contains some of the data from the latest release of the Stripe 82 X-ray (82X) survey point-source catalog, which currently covers 31.3 deg<sup>2</sup> of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Stripe 82 Legacy field. In total, 6,181 unique X-ray sources are significantly detected with XMM-Newton (> 5 sigma) and Chandra (> 4.5 sigma). This 31 deg<sup>2</sup> catalog release includes data from XMM-Newton cycle AO 13, which approximately doubled the Stripe 82X survey area. The flux limits of the Stripe 82X survey are 8.7 x 10<sup>-16</sup> erg s<sup>-1</sup> cm<sup>-2</sup>, 4.7 x 10<sup>-15</sup> erg s<sup>-1</sup> cm<sup>-2</sup>, and 2.1 x 10<sup>-15</sup> erg s<sup>-1</sup> cm^=2^ in the soft (0.5 - 2.0 keV), hard (2 - 10 keV), and full (0.5 - 10 keV) bands, respectively, with approximate half-area survey flux limits of 5.4 x 10<sup>-15</sup> erg s<sup>-1</sup> cm<sup>-2</sup>, 2.9 x 10<sup>-14</sup> erg s<sup>-1</sup> cm<sup>-2</sup>, and 1.7 x 10<sup>-14</sup> erg s<sup>-1</sup> cm<sup>-2</sup>, respectively. The authors matched the X-ray source lists to available multi-wavelength catalogs, including updated matches to the previous release of the Stripe 82X survey; 88% of the sample is matched to a multi-wavelength counterpart. Due to the wide area of Stripe 82X and rich ancillary multi-wavelength data, including coadded SDSS photometry, mid-infrared WISE coverage, near-infrared coverage from UKIDSS and VISTA Hemisphere Survey (VHS), ultraviolet coverage from GALEX, radio coverage from FIRST, and far-infrared coverage from Herschel, as well as existing ~30% optical spectroscopic completeness, this study is beginning to uncover rare objects, such as obscured high-luminosity active galactic nuclei at high redshift. The Stripe 82X point source catalog is a valuable data set for constraining how this population grows and evolves, as well as for studying how they interact with the galaxies in which they live. The authors derive the XMM-Newton number counts distribution and compare it with their previously reported Chandra log N - log S relations and other X-ray surveys. Throughout this study, the authors adopt a cosmology of H<sub>0</sub> = 70 km s<sup>-1</sup> Mpc<sup>-1</sup>, Omega<sub>M</sub> = 0.27, and Lambda = 0.73. The XMM-Newton and Chandra X-ray sources were matched with sources in the SDSS, WISE, UKIDSS, VHS, GALEX, FIRST and Herschel databases using the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) method, as discussed in detail in Section 4 of the reference paper. This table contains the list of 5,220 sources detected in the SDSS Stripe 82 in archival, AO10 and AO13 XMM-Newton observations. A related table SDSSS82CXO contains the list of 1,146 Chandra sources detected in the SDSS Stripe 82. Compared to the initial version of this catalog based on the 2013 paper, in the current version of the catalog the MLE matching between the XMM-Newton archival and AO10 source lists and ancillary catalogs was updated to include a 1 arcsecond systematic error added in quadrature to the emldetect reported positional error. This table was initially created by the HEASARC in April 2014 based on the machine-readable version of the table ('Properties of SDSS Quasars Detected by XMM-Newton') described in Appendix B2 of the reference paper (LaMassa et al. 2013, MNRAS, 436, 3581) which was obtained from the CDS (catalog J/MNRAS/436/3581/, file xmms82.dat). The present version was created by the HEASARC in January 2017 based on <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/ApJ/817/172">CDS catalog J/ApJ/817/172</a>, files xmmao10.dat and xmmao13.dat.

XMM-Newton Serendipitous Source Catalog (4XMM-DR14 Version)
The XMMSSC table contains the Fourth XMM-Newton Serendipitous Source Catalog, Fourteenth Data Release, or 4XMM-DR14. 4XMM-DR14 is the fourth-generation catalog of serendipitous X-ray sources from the European Space Agency's (ESA) XMM-Newton observatory, and has been created by the XMM-Newton Survey Science Centre (SSC) on behalf of ESA. It is an incremental version of the the 4XMM catalog and contains 621 more observations and 51,884 more detections than the preceding 4XMM-DR13 catalog, which was made public in July 2023. In addition, the team provides spectra and lightcurves for more than 18,775 more detections than in 4XMM-DR13. The catalog contains source detections drawn from a total of 13,864 XMM-Newton EPIC observations made between 2000 February 1 and 2023 December 31; all datasets included were publicly available by 2023 December 31 but not all public observations are included in this catalog. For net exposure time >= 1ksec, the net area of the catalog fields taking account of the substantial overlaps between observations is ~1,383 deg<sup>2</sup>. 4XMM-DR13 contains 1,035,832 X-ray detections above the processing likelihood threshold of 6. These X-ray detections relate to 692,109 unique X-ray sources. A significant fraction of sources (135,324, 20%) have more than one detection in the catalog (up to 90 repeat observations in the most extreme case). The catalog distinguishes between extended emission and point-like detections. Parameters of detections of extended sources are only reliable up to the maximum extent measure of 80 arcseconds. There are 96,553 detections of extended emission, of which 22,147 are 'clean' (in the sense that they were not flagged). Due to intrinsic features of the instrumentation as well as some shortcomings of the source detection process, some detections are considered to be spurious or their parameters are considered to be unreliable. It is recommended to use a detection flag and an observation flag as filters to obtain what can be considered a 'clean' sample. There are 897,091 out of 1,035,832 detections that are considered to be clean (i.e., summary flag < 3). For 372,313 detections, EPIC time series and 372,603 detections, EPIC spectra were automatically extracted during processing, and a chi<sup>2</sup>-variability test was applied to the time series. 8,380 detections in the catalog are considered variable, within the timespan of the specific observation, at a probability of 10<sup>-5</sup> or less based on the null-hypothesis that the source is constant. Of these, 6,307 have a summary flag <3. The median flux (in the total photon-energy band 0.2 - 12 keV) of the catalog detections is ~ 2.2 x 10<sup>-14</sup> erg/cm<sup>2</sup>/s; in the soft energy band (0.2 - 2 keV) the median flux is ~ 5.2 x 10<sup>-15</sup>, and in the hard band (2 - 12 keV) it is ~1.2 x 10<sup>-14</sup>. About 23% have fluxes below 1 x 10<sup>-14</sup> erg/cm<sup>2</sup>/s. The flux values from the three EPIC cameras are, overall, in agreement to ~10% for most energy bands. The median positional accuracy of the catalog point source detections is generally < 1.57 arcseconds (with a standard deviation of 1.43 arcseconds). With 4XMM-DR14, the team also released 4XMM-DR14s, available from HEASARC as <a href="/W3Browse/xmm-newton/xmmstack.html">XMMSTACK</a>, a new version of the stacked catalog built from 10,336 4XMM-DR14 overlapping observations. 4XMM-DR14s contains 1,751 stacks (or groups). Most of the stacks are composed of 2 observations and the largest has 372. The catalog contains 427,524 sources, of which 329,972 have several contributing observations. Stacking observations allows yet fainter sources to be detected in sky regions observed more than once, increasing the number of detections and uncovering long-term variability on repeatedly observed objects. 4XMM-DR14s reaches a depth of ~2.5 x 10<sup>-15</sup> and ~6.8 x 10<sup>-15</sup> erg/cm<sup>2</sup>/s in the soft (0.2-2keV) and hard (2-12 keV) X-ray band, respectively. The energy bands used in the 4XMM-DR14 processing were the same as for the 3XMM catalog. The following are the basic energy bands: <pre> 1 = 0.2 - 0.5 keV 2 = 0.5 - 1.0 keV 3 = 1.0 - 2.0 keV 4 = 2.0 - 4.5 keV 5 = 4.5 - 12.0 keV </pre> while these are the broad energy bands: <pre> 6 = 0.2 - 2.0 keV soft band, no images made 7 = 2.0 - 12.0 keV hard band, no images made 8 = 0.2 - 12.0 keV total band 9 = 0.5 - 4.5 keV XID band </pre> This database table was last updated by the HEASARC in July 2024. It contains the 4XMM-DR14 catalog, released by ESA on 2024-07-09 and obtained from the XMM-Newton Survey Science Center Consortium (<a href="http://xmmssc.irap.omp.eu/Catalogue/4XMM-DR14/4XMM_DR14.html">http://xmmssc.irap.omp.eu/Catalogue/4XMM-DR14/4XMM_DR14.html</
XMM-Newton Serendipitous Source Catalog from Stacked Observations (4XMM-DR14s)
The stacked catalog 4XMM-DR14s has been compiled from 1,751 groups, comprising 10,336 overlapping XMM-Newton observations. They were selected from the public observations taken between 2000 February 1 and 2023 November 16 which overlap by at least one arcminute in radius. It contains 427,524 unique sources, 329,972 of them multiply observed, with positions and source parameters like fluxes in the XMM-Newton standard energy bands, hardness ratios, quality estimate, and information on inter-observation variability. The parameters are directly derived from the simultaneous fit, and, wherever applicable, additionally calculated for each contributing observation. Exposures that do not qualify for source detection, for example because of a high background level, are used for subsequent PSF photometry: source fluxes and flux-related parameters are derived for them at the source position and extent found during source detection. 4XMM-DR14s lists 1,807,316 individual flux measurements (visits) of the 427,524 unique sources. Stacked source detection aims at exploring the multiply observed sky regions and exploit their survey potential, in particular to study the long-term behavior of X-ray emitting sources. It thus makes use of the long(er) effective exposure time per sky area and offers the opportunity to investigate flux variability directly through the source detection process. The main catalog properties are summarized in the table below, the data processing and the stacked source detection are described in the processing summary. To ensure detection quality, background levels are assessed, and event-based astrometric corrections are applied before running source detection. After source detections, problematic detections and detection parameters are flagged by an automated algorithm. All detections are screened visually, and obviously spurious sources are flagged manually. This table contains the parameters of the 427,524 unique sources (provided in this table) derived simultaneously from all of the observations (provided in the associated table of observations referred to as <a href="/W3Browse/xmm-newton/xmmstackob.html">XMMSTACKOB</a>) at the fitted position. The authors referred to the EPIC instruments with the following designations: PN, M1 (MOS1), and M2 (MOS2). The energy bands used in the 4XMM processing were the same as for the 3XMM catalog.

IC 2944/2948 XMM-Newton X-Ray Source Catalog
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. This table was created by the HEASARC in September 2013 based on <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/A+A/555/A83">CDS Catalog J/A+A/555/A83</a> files table3.dat and table4.dat.

XMM-Newton Optical Monitor Serendipitous UV Source Survey Catalog, v6.1
The 2023 release of the XMM OM Serendipitous Ultraviolet Source Survey (XMM-SUSS6.1) Catalog, a catalog of optical/UV sources detected by the Optical Monitor (OM) on-board the European Space Agency's (ESA's) XMM-Newton observatory, spans the period of observations from 2000 to November 2022. The data processing was performed at the European Space Astronomy Centre (ESAC, Madrid, Spain) using the XMM Science Analysis Software system (SAS) versions 18 and 19. In addition to covering a larger observation period, this sixth release reflects a change in philosophy with regard to the origin of the incorporated data. In previous releases, the data were generated via a bespoke processing of the OM Observation Data Files (ODFs) while in this new release, the catalog has been guided by the XMM user community and the authors have sought to harmonize the contents of the catalog with those of the OM data in the XMM-Newton Science Archive (XSA), which derive from the standard XMM-Newton pipeline processing system. While the bespoke processing and pipeline systems are fundamentally very similar, they are not identical and the differences lead to some differences in the output. The number of observations (OBSIDs) included in the catalog is 12,057. The total number of entries in this release is 9,920,390. They correspond to 6,659,554 unique sources, of which 1,225,117 have multiple entries in the source table, corresponding to different observations. For each entry, positional and photometric data (count rate, magnitude and flux) and quality flags for each measurement are provided. The description of the previous release of the catalog can be found in Page M.J. et al. (2012, MNRAS, 426, 903). U, B, V, UVW2, UVM2 and UVW1 refer to the filter bandpasses defined in the Source Properties: Filter Set section of the MSSL documentation for this catalog: <a href="http://www.mssl.ucl.ac.uk/www_astro/XMM-OM-SUSS/SourcePropertiesFilters.shtml">http://www.mssl.ucl.ac.uk/www_astro/XMM-OM-SUSS/SourcePropertiesFilters.shtml</a>. There is a second, related table which gives a summary of the observations from which the XMM-SUSS6.1 sources listed in this table have been detected and measured. That summary table is available at the HEASARC as the <a href="/W3Browse/xmm-newton/xmmomsuob.html">XMMOMSUOB table</a>.

XMM-Newton COSMOS (XMM-COSMOS) Survey Photometric Redshift Catalog
In their paper, the authors release accurate photometric redshifts for 1692 counterparts to Chandra sources in the central square degree of the Cosmic Evolution Survey (COSMOS) field. The availability of a large training set of spectroscopic redshifts that extends to faint magnitudes enabled photometric redshifts comparable to the highest quality results presently available for normal galaxies. The authors demonstrate that morphologically extended, faint X-ray sources without optical variability are more accurately described by a library of normal galaxies (corrected for emission lines) than by active galactic nucleus (AGN) dominated templates, even if these sources have AGNlike X-ray luminosities. Preselecting the library on the bases of the source properties allowed them to reach an accuracy sigma[Delta-z/(1+Z<sub>spec</sub>)] ~ 0.015 with a fraction of outliers of 5.8% for the entire Chandra-COSMOS sample. These Chandra sources are not contained in this table but are available in the HEASARC table CCOSMPHOTZ). In addition, in this study the authors released revised photometric redshifts for the 1735 optical counterparts of the XMM-detected sources over the entire 2 deg<sup>2</sup> of COSMOS, and these are the sources listed in the present table. For 248 sources, their updated photometric redshift differs from the previous release by Delta-z > 0.2. These changes are predominantly due to the inclusion of newly available deep H-band^ photometry (H<sub>AB</sub> = 24 mag). The authors illustrate once again the importance of a spectroscopic training sample and how an assumption about the nature of a source together, with the number and the depth of the available bands, influences the accuracy of the photometric redshifts determined for AGN. These considerations should be kept in mind when defining the observational strategies of upcoming large surveys targeting AGNs, such as eROSITA at X-ray energies and the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder Evolutionary Map of the Universe in the radio band. This table contains the photometric redshifts and related quantities for 1735 XMM-Newton sources over the entire 2 square degrees of the COSMOS field. Notice that in the original as-published paper no positional information was provided. The HEASARC has assumed that the source numbers used in the present catalog are in the same source numbering scheme as used by Cappelluti et al. (2009, A&A, 497, 635, the XMM-Newton Wide-Field Survey in the COSMOS Field Point-like X-ray Source Catalog, available at the HEASARC as the XMMCOSMOS table) and thus obtained the positions and (position-based) names corresponding to these X-ray sources from the latter. This table was created by the HEASARC in November 2011 based on an electronic version of Table 5 from the reference paper which was obtained from the ApJ website.

NGC 2547 XMM-Newton X-Ray Point Source Catalog
This table contains a list of point sources detected by XMM-Newton EPIC in a pointing towards the young open cluster NGC 2547, made in order to allow the authors to characterize coronal activity in solar-type stars, and stars of lower mass, at an age of 30 Myr. X-ray emission was seen from stars at all spectral types, peaking among G stars at luminosities (0.3 - 3 keV) of L<sub>x</sub> ~= 10<sup>30.5</sup> erg/s and declining to L<sub>x</sub> <= 10<sup>29</sup> erg/s among M stars with masses >=0.2 solar masses. Coronal spectra show evidence for multi-temperature differential emission measures and low coronal metal abundances of Z~= 0.3. Most of the solar-type stars in NGC 2547 exhibit saturated or even supersaturated X-ray activity levels. The median levels of L<sub>x</sub> and L<sub>x</sub>/L<sub>bol</sub> in the solar-type stars of NGC 2547 are very similar to those in T-Tauri stars of the Orion Nebula cluster (ONC), but an order of magnitude higher than in the older Pleiades. The spread in X-ray activity levels among solar-type stars in NGC 2547 is much smaller than in older or younger clusters. This table contains the properties of those X-ray sources which are correlated with optical cluster members (see Section 2.2 of the reference paper for details on the correlation procedure that was adopted), as well as the properties of those X-ray sources which are uncorrelated with any optical cluster members. The table lists the cross-identifications with optical catalogs for the candidate cluster sources along with their X-ray luminosities and X-ray to bolometric flux ratios, as well as the correlations between cluster members which were detected by XMM-Newton and those detected 7 years earlier by the ROSAT HRI instrument, along with the X-ray luminosities and flux ratios as determined by the HRI. This table was created by the HEASARC in February 2007 based on <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/MNRAS/367/781">CDS Catalog J/MNRAS/367/781</a> files table1.dat, table2.dat, table3.dat and table7.dat.

Alpha Per Open Cluster XMM-Newton X-Ray Source Catalog
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). This table was created by the HEASARC in June 2014 based on <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/AJ/145/143">CDS Catalog J/AJ/145/143</a> files table1.dat and table2.dat.

Fornax Dwarf Galaxy XMM-Newton X-Ray Point Source Catalog
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>. This table was created by the HEASARC in February 2013 based on an electronic version of Table 1 from the reference paper which was obtained from the A&A web site.

Selected Area 57 XMM-Newton X-Ray Source Catalog
The maximum number density of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs), as deduced from X-ray studies, occurs at z >= 1, with lower luminosity objects peaking at smaller redshifts. Optical studies lead to a different evolutionary behaviour, with a number density peaking at z ~ 2 independently of the intrinsic luminosity, but this result is limited to active nuclei brighter than the host galaxy. A selection based on optical variability can detect low luminosity AGNs (LLAGNs), where the host galaxy light prevents the identification by non-stellar colours. The authors collected X-ray data in a field where there existed an optically-selected sample of "variable galaxies", i.e. variable objects with diffuse appearance, in order to investigate the X-ray and optical properties of the population of AGNs, particularly of low luminosity ones, where the host galaxy is visible. They observed a field of ~ 0.2 deg<sup>2</sup> in the Selected Area 57, for 67 ks with XMM-Newton. They correlated the list of detected X-ray sources with a photographic survey of SA 57, complete to B_J ~ 23 and with the available spectroscopic data. They obtained a catalog of 140 X-ray sources to limiting fluxes of 5 x 10<sup>-16</sup> and 2 x 10<sup>-15</sup> erg/cm<sup>2</sup>/s in the 0.5 - 2 keV and 2 - 10 keV bands, respectively, 98 of which are identified in the optical bands. The X-ray detection of part of the variability-selected candidates confirms their AGN nature. Diffuse variable objects populate the low luminosity side of the sample. Only 25/44 optically-selected QSOs are detected in X-rays. 15% of all QSOs in the field have X/O < 0.1. Additional information on the likely optical counterparts of 98 of the X-ray sources is available in the reference paper, e.g., in Table 3.

XMM-Newton Survey Catalog in the Herschel-ATLAS Field
Wide area X-ray and far-infrared surveys are a fundamental tool to investigate the link between AGN growth and star formation, especially in the low-redshift universe (z < 1). The Herschel-Astrophysical Terahertz Large Area Survey (H-ATLAS) has covered 550 deg<sup>2</sup> in five far-infrared and sub-mm bands, 16 deg<sup>2</sup> of which have been presented in the Science Demonstration Phase (SDP) catalogue. The reference paper cited below introduces the XMM-Newton observations in the H-ATLAS SDP area, covering 7.1 deg<sup>2</sup> with flux limits of 2 x 10<sup>-15</sup>, 6 x 10<sup>-15</sup>, and 9 x 10<sup>-15</sup> erg/s/cm<sup>2</sup> in the 0.5-2, 0.5-8 and 2-8keV bands, respectively. The paper presents the source detection techniques and the "main" catalog, which includes 1700, 1582 and 814 sources detected by EMLDetect in the 0.5-8, 0.5-2 and 2-8keV bands, respectively; the number of unique sources is 1816. The authors extract spectra and derive fluxes from power-law fits for 398 sources with more than 40 counts in the 0.5-8 keV band. They compare the best-fit fluxes with those in the catalog, which were obtained assuming a common photon index Gamma of 1.7; the authors find no bulk difference between the fluxes, and a moderate dispersion s of 0.33 dex. Using wherever possible the fluxes from the spectral fits, the authors derive the 2-10 keV Log N-Log S distribution, which is consistent with a Euclidean distribution. Finally, they release the computer code for the tools which they developed for this project. Sources were detected with a two-stage process. With the first pass at low significance, the authors got a list of candidate detections; and on the second pass they raised the significance threshold and derived accurate source parameters. Between the two passes, and because the second pass needs an input catalog, they identified the sources detected in more than one band. In the first pass, the SAS wavelet detection program ewavelet was run separately on each of the 0.5-2, 2-8 and 0.5-8 keV images of the entire mosaic, with a significance threshold of 4 sigma and the default wavelet scales (minimum 2 pixels, maximum 8 pixels, with a pixel size of 4). All parameters in this catalog which were derived from ewavelet have been given a prefix of 'wav' in this HEASARC representation so as to distinguish them from the parameters derived using EMLDetect. In the second pass, the authors used the SAS EMLDetect program to validate the detections, refine the coordinates and obtain maximum-likelihood estimates of the source counts, count rates and fluxes. The EMLDetect minimum likelihood was set at L = 4.6, as in Ranalli et al. (2013, A&A, 555, A42), which corresponds to a false-detection probability of 1.01 x 10<sup>-2</sup>. Together with the 4-sigma threshold for ewavelet, for the final catalog this yields a joint significance between 4 sigma and 5 sigma, but which cannot be further constrained without simulations. This table contains the X-ray sources which were detected in the 7.1 deg<sup>2</sup> XMM-Newton observations of the H-ATLAS field. The 1816 sources which were detected by both programs were presented in the main table in the reference paper (and are included in this HEASARC table where they are indicated by a value of the source_sample parameter of 'main'), while the 234 sources which were only detected by ewavelet were presented in the supplementary table in the reference paper (and are included in this HEASARC table where they are indicated by a value of the source_sample parameter of 'supp'). The same parameters were present in both the main and supplementary tables in the reference paper, but those parameters which came from EMLDetect are empty for the sources in the supplementary table. The parameters obtained using ewavelet (those parameters with the 'wav' prefix in their names) containing the source properties (counts, count rates, fluxes, exposure times, background, wavelet detection scale and source extent), while reported in this table for all sources, are actually only interesting for supplementary sources, according to the authors. This table was created by the HEASARC in May 2015 based on the union of <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/A+A/577/A121">CDS Catalog J/A+A/577/A121</a> files main.dat (which contain 1816 sources detected by both detection algorithms) and suppl.dat (which contains 234 'supplementary' sources detected only by the wavelet detection algorithm ewavelet). It thus contains a total of 2050 sources. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .
NGC 253 XMM-Newton X-Ray Point Source Catalog
This table contains the NGC 253 XMM-Newton X-Ray Point Source Catalog. NGC 253 is a local, starbursting spiral galaxy with strong X-ray emission from hot gas, as well as many point sources. The authors have conducted a spectral survey of the X-ray population of NGC 253 using a deep XMM-Newton observation. NGC 253 only accounts for ~20 per cent of the XMM-Newton EPIC field of view, allowing them to identify ~ 100 X-ray sources that are unlikely to be associated with NGC 253. Hence, they were able to make a direct estimate of contamination from, for example, foreground stars and background galaxies. X-ray luminosity functions (XLFs) of galaxy populations are often used to characterize their properties. There are several methods for estimating the luminosities of X-ray sources with few photons. The authors have obtained spectral fits for the brightest 140 sources in the 2003 XMM-Newton observation of NGC 253, and compare the best-fitting luminosities of those 69 non-nuclear sources associated with NGC 253 with luminosities derived using other methods. They find the luminosities obtained from these various methods to vary systematically by a factor of up to 3 for the same data; this is largely due to differences in absorption. The authors therefore conclude that assuming Galactic absorption is probably unwise; rather, one should measure the absorption for the population. In addition, they find that standard estimations of the background contribution to the X-ray sources in the field are insufficient, and that the background active galactic nuclei (AGN) may be systematically more luminous than previously expected. However, the excess in their measured AGN XLF with respect to the expected XLF may be due to an as yet unrecognized population associated with NGC253. XMM-Newton observations are susceptible to periods of high background levels, caused by increased flux of solar particles. The authors screened the data from each of the EPIC cameras (MOS1, MOS2 and pn), to remove flaring intervals. This process resulted in ~ 46 ks of good time for the pn and ~ 69 ks for the MOS cameras. The authors combined the cleaned MOS and pn data, and ran the source detection algorithm provided with the XMM-Newton data analysis suite SAS version 7.0. They accepted sources with maximum-likelihood detections > 10 (equivalent to 4 sigma). This table was created by the HEASARC in April 2009 based on the electronic version of Tables A1 and A2 from the paper which were obtained from the CDS (their catalog J/MNRAS/388/849 files tablea1.dat and tablea2.dat).

This database table was last updated by the HEASARC in December 2024, when AO-24's accepted targets were added. <p> AO-23's accepted targets were added in November 2023. <p> AO-22's accepted targets were added in November 2022. <p> AO-21's accepted targets were added and AO-19's unobserved priority C targets were removed in December 2021. <p> AO-20's accepted targets were added and AO-18's unobserved priority C targets were removed in December 2020. <p> AO-19's accepted targets were added and AO-17's unobserved priority C targets were removed in April 2020. <p> In June 2019, many duplicate entries were removed. <p> AO-18's accepted targets were added and AO-16's unobserved priority C targets were removed in November 2018. <p> AO-17's accepted targets were added and AO-15's unobserved priority C targets were removed in November 2017. <p> AO-16's accepted targets were added and AO-14's unobserved priority C targets were removed in December 2016. <p> AO-15's accepted targets were added and AO-13's unobserved priority C targets were removed in December 2015. <p> In August 2015, proposal titles were added. <p> AO-14's accepted targets were added and AO-12's unobserved priority C targets were removed in December 2014. <p> AO-13's accepted targets were added and AO-11's unobserved priority C targets were removed in December 2013. <p> AO-12's accepted targets were added and AO-10's unobserved priority C targets were removed in December 2012. <p> AO-11's accepted targets were added and AO-9's unobserved priority C targets were removed in December 2011. <p> AO-10's accepted targets were added and AO-8's unobserved priority C targets were removed in December 2010. <p> AO-9's accepted targets were added and AO-7's unobserved priority C targets were removed in January 2010. <p> AO-8's accepted targets were added and AO-6's unobserved priority C targets were removed in December 2008. <p> AO-7's accepted targets were added and AO-5's unobserved priority C targets were removed in January 2008. <p> AO-6's accepted targets were added in January 2007, and, in November 2006, an effort was made to remove most of the unobserved priority C targets from previous AOs. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .
