ELAISS1OID - ELAIS S1 Field X-Ray Source Optical/IR Identifications Catalog

Overview

This table contains the optical identifications and a multi-band catalog of a sample of 478 X-ray sources detected in the XMM-Newton and Chandra surveys of the central 0.6 deg² of the ELAIS-S1 field. The most likely optical/infrared counterpart of each X-ray source was identified using the chance coincidence probability in the R and IRAC 3.6 micron bands.This method was complemented by the precise positions obtained through Chandra observations. The authors were able to associate a counterpart to each X-ray source in the catalogue. Approximately 94% of them are detected in the R band, while the remaining are blank fields in the optical down to R ~ 24.5, but have a near-infrared counterpart detected by IRAC within 6 arcsec of the XMM-Newton centroid. The multi-band catalog, produced using the positions of the identified optical counterparts, contains photometry in ten photometric bands, from B to the MIPS 24 micron band. The spectroscopic follow-up allowed us to determine the redshift and classification for 237 sources (~ 50% of the sample) brighter than R = 24. The spectroscopic redshifts were complemented by reliable photometric redshifts for 68 sources.

The authors classified 47% of the sources with spectroscopic redshift as broad-line active galactic nuclei (BL AGNs) with z = 0.1-3.5, while sources without broad-lines (NOT BL AGNs) are about 46% of the spectroscopic sample and are found up to z = 2.6. The remaining fraction is represented by extended X-ray sources and stars. The authors spectroscopically identified 11 type 2 QSOs among the sources with F(2-10 keV)/F(R) > 8, with redshift between 0.9 and 2.6, high 2-10 keV luminosity (log L(2-10 keV) >= 43.8 erg/s) and hard X-ray colors suggesting large absorbing columns at the rest frame (log N_H up to 23.6 cm^-2). BL AGNs show on average blue optical-to-near-infrared colors, softer X-ray colors and X-ray-to-optical colors typical of optically selected AGNs. Conversely, narrow-line sources show redder optical colors, harder X-ray flux ratio and span a wider range of X-ray-to-optical colors. On average the Spectral Energy Distributions (SEDs) of high-luminosity BL AGNs resemble the power-law typical of unobscured AGNs. The SEDs of NOT BLAGNs are dominated by the galaxy emission in the optical/near-infrared, and show a rise in the mid-infrared which suggests the presence of an obscured active nucleus. The authors have used the infrared-to-optical colors and near-infrared SEDs to infer the properties of the AGN host galaxies.

Identifications and photometric parameters for 478 sources detected by XMM-Newton in the ELAIS-S1 field are given. For each source, the X-ray positions and fluxes, optical position and photometry, Spitzer IRAC and MIPS 24 micron positions and fluxes, spectroscopic redshift where available, photometric redshift and SED shape classification are given.
