XMMSSC - XMM-Newton Serendipitous Source Catalog (2XMMi, Incremental Update of the Second Version) |
HEASARC Archive |
2XMM was the second comprehensive catalog of serendipitous X-ray sources from the European Space Agency's (ESA) XMM-Newton observatory. (The pre-release catalogue, 2XMMp, made public in July 2006, was essentially a subset of this full 2XMM catalog). The catalog was constructed by the XMM-Newton Survey Science Centre (SSC) on behalf of ESA. It contains source detections drawn from 3491 XMM-Newton EPIC observations made between 2000 February 3 and 2007 March 31; all datasets were publicly available by 2007 May 01, but not all public observations are included in this catalog. The total area of the catalogue fields is ~ 560 deg2, but taking account of the substantial overlaps between observations, the net sky area covered independently is ~ 360 deg2.
The 2XMMi catalog contains sources from an additional year of XMM public data (up until 2008 March 28) and contains roughly 20% more detections (289083 entries) and sources compared to 2XMM. 2XMMi has been made using essentially the same software and the same calibration as used for 2XMM, so that the extra data are homogenous. However, in making the new catalog, the authors have re-computed the grouping of detections into unique sources on the sky and this has resulted in a number of changes. These arise from: 1) new detections adding to existing 2XMM sources causing updates of the mean source parameters, 2) new detections forming completely new sources, 3) new detections causing splitting or merging of existing sources, and 4) in a very few cases, a bug fix that affected 2XMM resulted in splitting or merging of existing 2XMM sources with no impact from a new detection. New unique sources on the sky in the 2XMMi Catalog will have the prefix 2XMMi in their names.
The processing used to generate the 2XMM and 2XMMi catalogs is based on the pipeline developed for the re-processing of all XMM-Newton observations. The new pipeline includes a number of significant improvements over the previous data processing system (as used by the SSC in routine processing of XMM-Newton data on behalf of ESA). These improvements include a more sensitive source detection scheme using exposures of all cameras, the detection and parameterization of extended sources and the extraction of spectra and time series for the brightest sources.
The 2XMMi catalog contains 289083 X-ray source detections above the processing likelihood threshold of 6. A significant fraction of sources have more than one detection in the catalog. Thus, each row in this catalog corresponds to a specific detection of an X-ray source, not necessarily to a unique source.
As part of extensive quality evaluation for the catalog, each field has been visually screened. Regions where there were obvious deficiencies in the automatic processing were identified, and all sources within those regions were flagged.
The present catalog also 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.
The median flux (in the total photon energy band 0.2 - 12 keV) of the catalog detections is ~ 2.5 x 10-14 erg cm-2 s^-1; in the soft energy band (0.2 - 2 keV) the median flux is ~ 5.8 x 10-15, and in the hard band (2 - 12 keV) it is ~ 1.4 x 10-14. About 20% have fluxes below 1 x 10-14 erg cm-2 s-1. The positional accuracy of the catalog detections is generally < 5 arcseconds (99% confidence radius). The flux values from the three EPIC cameras are overall in agreement to ~ 10% for most energy bands.
New energy bands were used in the 2XMM processing compared to 1XMM. The following are the basic energy bands:
1 = 0.2 - 0.5 keV 2 = 0.5 - 1.0 keV (formerly part of band 2) 3 = 1.0 - 2.0 keV (formerly part of band 2) 4 = 2.0 - 4.5 keV (formerly band 3) 5 = 4.5 - 12.0 keV (formerly bands 4 and 5)
while these are the broad energy bands:
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

A consecutive number which identifies each entry (detection) in the catalog.
SrcID
A unique number assigned to a group of catalog entries which are assumed to
be the same source. To identify members of the same group the distance in

both positional errors. A maximum distance of 7" was assumed, which was reduced
to 0.9 * DIST_NN (distance to the nearest neighbour) where necessary.

Note that in the case where the rate in one band is 0.0 (i.e., too faint to be detected in this band) the hardness ratio will be -1 or +1 which is only a lower or upper limit, respectively. In case where the rate in both bands is zero, the hardness ratio is undefined (NULL).

HR1: bands 1 & 2 HR2: bands 2 & 3 HR3: bands 3 & 4 HR4: bands 4 & 5
EPIC hardness ratios are calculated by the SAS task srcmatch and are averaged over all three cameras (PN, M1, M2).

possible-spurious-detection flag (flag 7, 8); it is set to 2 if at least one
of the possible-spurious-detection flags (flag 7, 8) was set but not the
manual flag (flag 11); it is set to 3 if the manual flag (flag 11) was set
but no possible-spurious-detection flags (flag 7, 8); it is set to 4 if the
manual flag (flag 11) as well as one of the possible-spurious-detection flags

0 = good 1 = source parameters may be affected 2 = possibly spurious 3 = located in a area where spurious detection may occur 4 = located in a area where spurious detection may occur and possibly spurious
