SDSSS82XMM - Sloan Digital Sky Survey Stripe 82 XMM-Newton Source Match Catalog |
HEASARC Archive |
Overview
This table contains some of the data from the latest release of the Stripe 82 X-ray (82X) survey point-source catalog, which currently covers 31.3 deg2 of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Stripe 82 Legacy field. In total, 6,181 unique X-ray sources are significantly detected with XMM-Newton (> 5 sigma) and Chandra (> 4.5 sigma). This 31 deg2 catalog release includes data from XMM-Newton cycle AO 13, which approximately doubled the Stripe 82X survey area. The flux limits of the Stripe 82X survey are 8.7 x 10-16 erg s-1 cm-2, 4.7 x 10-15 erg s-1 cm-2, and 2.1 x 10-15 erg s-1 cm^=2^ in the soft (0.5 - 2.0 keV), hard (2 - 10 keV), and full (0.5 - 10 keV) bands, respectively, with approximate half-area survey flux limits of 5.4 x 10-15 erg s-1 cm-2, 2.9 x 10-14 erg s-1 cm-2, and 1.7 x 10-14 erg s-1 cm-2, respectively. The authors matched the X-ray source lists to available multi-wavelength catalogs, including updated matches to the previous release of the Stripe 82X survey; 88% of the sample is matched to a multi-wavelength counterpart. Due to the wide area of Stripe 82X and rich ancillary multi-wavelength data, including coadded SDSS photometry, mid-infrared WISE coverage, near-infrared coverage from UKIDSS and VISTA Hemisphere Survey (VHS), ultraviolet coverage from GALEX, radio coverage from FIRST, and far-infrared coverage from Herschel, as well as existing ~30% optical spectroscopic completeness, this study is beginning to uncover rare objects, such as obscured high-luminosity active galactic nuclei at high redshift. The Stripe 82X point source catalog is a valuable data set for constraining how this population grows and evolves, as well as for studying how they interact with the galaxies in which they live. The authors derive the XMM-Newton number counts distribution and compare it with their previously reported Chandra log N - log S relations and other X-ray surveys.Throughout this study, the authors adopt a cosmology of H0 = 70 km s-1 Mpc-1, OmegaM = 0.27, and Lambda = 0.73.
The XMM-Newton and Chandra X-ray sources were matched with sources in the SDSS, WISE, UKIDSS, VHS, GALEX, FIRST and Herschel databases using the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) method, as discussed in detail in Section 4 of the reference paper. This table contains the list of 5,220 sources detected in the SDSS Stripe 82 in archival, AO10 and AO13 XMM-Newton observations. A related table SDSSS82CXO contains the list of 1,146 Chandra sources detected in the SDSS Stripe 82.
Compared to the initial version of this catalog based on the 2013 paper, in the current version of the catalog the MLE matching between the XMM-Newton archival and AO10 source lists and ancillary catalogs was updated to include a 1 arcsecond systematic error added in quadrature to the emldetect reported positional error.

Provenance
This table was initially created by the HEASARC in April 2014 based on the machine-readable version of the table ('Properties of SDSS Quasars Detected by XMM-Newton') described in Appendix B2 of the reference paper (LaMassa et al. 2013, MNRAS, 436, 3581) which was obtained from the CDS (catalog J/MNRAS/436/3581/, file xmms82.dat). The present version was created by the HEASARC in January 2017 based on CDS catalog J/ApJ/817/172, files xmmao10.dat and xmmao13.dat.Parameters
XMM_Sample
This parameter was created by the HEASARC to indicates from which published
table/sample the specified entry originates: 10 indicates that the source is
from the sample of XMM-Newton sources detected in archival or AO10
observations made as part of the Stripe 82X program (contained in CDS file
xmmao10.dat), while 13 indicates that the source is from the sample of
XMM-Newton sources detected in AO13 observations made as part of the Stripe
82X program (contained in CDS file xmmao13.dat).

XMM_AO10_Prom_Match
This parameter (which is only populated for XMM-Newton AO13 sources, i.e.,
sources with values of xmm_sample = 13) contains a flag to indicate that a
multi-wavelength counterpart is promoted into the AO13 catalog from the
archival and AO10 catalog: the multi-wavelength association did not meet the
MLE reliability threshold when matching to the AO10 and archival catalog, but
did meet this requirement for the same X-ray source in the XMM-Newton AO13
catalog. The number indicates in which catalog the promoted match is found,
as follows:
Value Meaning
1 SDSS counterpart found but photometry rejected for failing quality
control checks;
2 SDSS;
3 redshift;
4 WISE counterpart found but rejected for failing quality control
checks;
5 WISE
6 UKIDSS
7 VHS
8 GALEX
CXO_Prom_Match
This parameter contains a flag to indicate that a multi-wavelength
counterpart is promoted into this catalog: the multi-wavelength association
did not meet the MLE reliability threshold when matching to the Chandra
catalog, but did meet this requirement for the same X-ray source in the
XMM-Newton catalog. The number indicates in which catalog the promoted match
is found, as follows:
Value Meaning
1 SDSS counterpart found but photometry rejected for failing quality
control checks;
2 SDSS;
3 redshift;
4 WISE counterpart found but rejected for failing quality control
checks;
5 WISE
6 UKIDSS
7 VHS
8 GALEX
Ctrpt_Coord_Flag
This parameter contains a flag which is set to 0 if the multi-wavelength
counterpart coordinates are consistent within 2 arcseconds (SDSS, UKIDSS,
VHS, FIRST) or 3 arcseconds (WISE, GALEX, Herschel); otherwise the flag value
is set to 1.
XMM_Arch_Flag
This flag parameter (which is only populated for XMM-Newton archival and AO10
sources, i.e., sources with values of xmm_sample = 10) is set to 'Y' to
indicate that the source was found in archival XMM observations rather than
in the AO10 observations, else is set to 'N'.
XMM_Arch_Source_Number
For sources which have xmm_arch_flag = 'Y', this parameter gives the record
number of the XMM source.
Lns_Rem_Flag
This flag parameter is set to 'Y' to indicate that the XMM-Newton archival
and AO10 source was removed from the logN - logS relation presented in the
reference paper. Otherwise, it is set to 'N'. The removed objects are
targeted sources of observations, and objects that overlap XMM-Newton
observations in the field.
XMM_AO13_Prom_Match
This parameter (which is only populated for XMM-Newton archival and AO10
sources, i.e., sources with values of xmm_sample = 10) contains a flag to
indicate that a multi-wavelength counterpart is promoted into this catalog:
the multi-wavelength association did not meet the MLE reliability threshold
when matching to the AO13 catalog, but did meet this requirement for the same
X-ray source in the XMM-Newton archival and AO10 catalog. The number
indicates in which catalog the promoted match is found, as follows:
Value Meaning
1 SDSS counterpart found but photometry rejected for failing quality
control checks;
2 SDSS;
3 redshift;
4 WISE counterpart found but rejected for failing quality control
checks;
5 WISE
6 UKIDSS
