XMMSTACKOB - XMM-Newton Serendipitous Source Catalog from Stacked Observations (4XMM-DR14s): Observation Data |
HEASARC Archive |
Overview
The stacked catalog 4XMM-DR14s (XMMSTACK) 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 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 source parameters from the individual observations in the stacked catalog, 4XMM-DR14s. The parameters are derived from the simultaneous source-detection fit to all stacked observations at the common source position for each observation that covers a source, amounting to 1,807,316 measurements. The mean source parameters from stacked source detection are provided in the associated main table 4XMM-DR14s, referred to as XMMSTACK.
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.
The following are the basic energy bands:
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
All-EPIC values cover the energy range 0.2-12.0 keV.

Provenance

The number of exposures used in source detection.
N_Exp_Phot
The number of exposures used for PSF photometry.
RA

the result of the simultaneous fit and considered to be the same for the
stack (in xmmstack) and associated
individual observations.
Dec
The Declination of the source in the specified equinox. The position of the
source is the result of the simultaneous fit and considered to be the same

ERROR_RADIUS, is calculated from the errors of the image coordinates:
sqrt(X_PIXEL_ERROR2+Y_PIXEL_ERROR2). For symmetric errors in both
dimensions, ERROR_RADIUS/sqrt(2) is the one-dimensional 1-sigma position
uncertainty, giving the coordinate interval that includes 68% of normally
distributed data points, and sqrt(2.3/2)*ERROR_RADIUS is the two-dimensional
error, giving the radius of a circularized ellipse that include 68% of
normally distributed data points.

result of the simultaneous fit and considered to be the same for the stack
(in xmmstack) and associated individual

be at least one arcsecond to account for systematic errors. The matching
radius per source is therefore:
rmatch = max (1", 3 x [ ERROR_RADIUS + ERROR_RADIUS_DETCAT ])

below 10-5, then the flag is set to "true."
Sum_Flag_Detcat
The mean source summary quality flag for the nearest unique source in
4XMM-DR14, based on automatic and visual screening.
Time
The start date/time of the observation, provided as the modified Julian Date JD-2400000.5, read from the header of
the input file.
End_Time
The end date/time of the last contributing observation, provided as the modified Julian Date JD-2400000.5, read from the header of the input file.
XMM_Revolution
The XMM-Newton orbit of the observation, read from the header of the input
file.
PA_Pnt
The mean position angle, in degrees, of the spacecraft, based on the file
header.
Obs_Class
The observation quality from the 4XMM-DR14 screening.
PN_Submode
The PN observing mode, based on the file header.
M1_Submode
The MOS1 observing mode, based on the file header.
M2_Submode
The MOS2 observing mode, based on the file header.
PN_Filter
The PN filter mode used for this observation, based on the file header.
M1_Filter
The MOS1 filter mode used for this observation, based on the file header.
M2_Filter
The MOS2 filter mode used for this observation, based on the file header.
Astcorr_Flag
A flag which indicates that the observation was astrometrically corrected.
CC_RA_Offset

field, in arcseconds.
CC_Dec_Offset
The catcorr shift of the declination in the field, in arcseconds.
CC_Dec_Offset_Error
The 1-sigma uncertainty in the catcorr shift of the declination in the field,
in arcseconds.
CC_Rot_Corr

CC_Rot_Corr_Error
The 1-sigma uncertainty in the catcorr shift of the position angle in the
field, in degrees.
CC_Pos_Offset
The catcorr total position shift of the field, in arcseconds.
CC_Pos_Offset_Error
The 1-sigma uncertainty in the catcorr total position shift of the field, in
arcseconds.
CC_Refcat
The catcorr reference catalog.
CC_Nmatches
The catcorr number of usable matches with the reference catalog.
PN_Bkg_Crarea
The EPIC/pn background rate per area, in ct/s/arcsec2.
