M31DEEPXMM - M 31 Deep XMM-Newton Survey X-Ray Source Catalog |
HEASARC Archive |
Overview
The largest Local Group spiral galaxy, M 31, has been completely imaged for the first time, with an obtained luminosity lower limit ~1035erg/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 D25 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.

Provenance
This table was created by the HEASARC in October 2011 based on CDS Catalog J/A+A/534/A55 files table5.dat and table8.dat.HEASARC Implementation
This table contains the union of Tables 5 and 8 from the reference paper. Table 5 ('the XMM LP-total catalog') lists the X-ray source properties based on the observation in which the highest source detection likelihood was obtained (in either a combined or single observation). For variable sources, this means that the source properties are those observed during their brightest state. Table 8 contains the information on the X-ray variability of the detected sources, i.e., the count rates, fluxes and hardness ratios of the X-ray sources in up to 10 individual observations of the sources, and contain the characters 'obs' in the parameter names, e.g., the parameter ep_hr4_ob8 is the combined EPIC hardness ratio HR4 of the source in the 8th observation. Sources were only included in Table 8, notice, if they were observed more than once. Thus, for singly observed sources, only the parameters given in Table 5 of the reference table are populated.Energy Bands and Hardness Ratios
For each observation, the data were split into five energy bands:Band Energy Range 1 0.2 - 0.5 keV 2 0.5 - 1.0 3 1.0 - 2.0 4 2.0 - 4.5 5 4.5 - 12.To classify the source spectra, the authors computed four hardness ratios, HR1, HR2, HR3 and HR4. The hardness ratios and their errors e are defined as: HRi = (Bi+1 - Bi)/(Bi+1 + Bi), and e(HRi) = 2*(sqrt[(Bi+1 * EBi)2 + (Bi * EBi+1)2]/(Bi+1 + B1)2, for i = 1 to 4, where Bi and EBi denote the count rates and their corresponding errors in the energy band i.
