Overview

The authors studied the X-ray emission from young stars by analyzing the deep (a ~53 ks exposure centered at a J2000.0 RA and Dec of 16 14 00.0, -23 00 00 and a ~43 ks exposure at 15 56 25.0, -23 37 47) XMM-Newton observations of two regions of the Upper Scorpius (USco) subgroup of the Scorpius-Centaurus (Sco-Cen) association which is estimated to have an age of 5 Myr. Portions of the USco association were observed in the optical with the CTIO Curtis Schmidt telescope and the Danish 1.54m telescope. This table contains all the X-ray sources detected in the two XMM-Newton observations, as well as their near-IR counterparts from the 2MASS and DENIS catalogs, and their optical counterparts from the CTIO and Danish 1.54 m observations. Based on the near-infrared and optical photometry, 22 Upper Scorpius photometric members have been identified among the 224 detected X-ray sources.

Provenance

This table was created by the HEASARC in March 2007 based on CDS catalog J/A+A/459/199 files tabled1.dat and table2.dat.

Parameters

Source_Number
A running X-ray source number in order of increasing J2000.0 Right Ascension.

Name
The name for the X-ray source using the 'XMMU' prefix and the truncated J2000.0 coordinates (JHHMMSS.s+DDMMSS), as recommended by the CDS Dictionary of Nomenclature of Celestial Objects.

RA
The Right Ascension of the X-ray source in the selected equinox. This was given in J2000.0 coordinates to a precision of 0.1 seconds of time in the original table. The X-ray positions given here include a correction for systematic errors in the XMM-Newton aspect system of 1.5" in RA which was derived by comparing the original XMM-Newton positions with those of their near-IR counterparts in the 2MASS Catalog.

Dec
The Declination of the X-ray source in the selected equinox. This was given in J2000.0 coordinates to a precision of 0.1 arcseconds in the original table.

LII
The Galactic Longitude of the X-ray source.

BII
The Galactic Latitude of the X-ray source.

Count_Rate
The equivalent on-axis EPIC pn count rate, in ct/s, i.e., the count rate that would be observed if the source was located on the telescope axis.

Count_Rate_Error
The uncertainty in the pn count rate, in ct/s.

Soft_Color
The soft X-ray color defined as 2.5*log(M/S), where M and S indicate the background-subtracted numbers of photons in the medium (0.85 - 1.4 keV) and soft (0.3 - 0.85 keV) energy bands, respectively.

Soft_Color_Inst
The EPIC instrument used for the soft color, M1 for MOS1, M2 for MOS2, or PN for pn.

Hard_Color
The hard X-ray color defined as 2.5*log(H/M), where H and M indicate the background-subtracted numbers of photons in the hard (1.4 - 7.9 keV) and medium (0.85 - 1.4 keV) energy bands, respectively.

TwoMASS_Name_1

Only for source number 1 were there two 2MASS counterparts within 5". Up to 16 of the 2MASS identifications may be spurious.

Only 71% and 78% of the 2 XMM-Newton fields were covered by the DENIS catalog. Only for source number 171 were there two DENIS counterparts within 5". Up to 19 of the DENIS identifications may be spurious.

Offset_DENIS_1_XMM
The angular offset of the DENIS counterpart from the XMM-Newton position, in arcseconds.

TwoMASS_Name_2
The name of the second possible 2MASS counterpart to the X-ray source within a 5" identification radius estimated from the position offset histograms which is comparable to the FWHM of the PSF of the EPIC instruments. Only for source number 1 were there two 2MASS counterparts within 5".

The angular offset of the second possible 2MASS counterpart from the XMM-Newton position, in arcseconds.

DENIS_Name_2
The name of the second possible DENIS counterpart to the X-ray source within a 5" identification radius estimated from the position offset histograms which is comparable to the FWHM of the PSF of the EPIC instruments. Only 71% and 78% of the 2 XMM-Newton fields were covered by the DENIS catalog. Only for source number 171 were there two DENIS counterparts within 5".
