XMM2ATHENA, the H2020 project to improve XMM-Newton analysis software and prepare for Athena
Natalie A. Webb, Francisco J. Carrera, Axel Schwope +31
XMM-Newton, a European Space Agency observatory, has been observing the X-ray, ultra-violet and optical sky for 23 years. During this time, astronomy has evolved from mainly studyi…
The XMM-Newton serendipitous survey. X: The second source catalogue from overlapping XMM-Newton observations and its long-term variable content
I. Traulsen, A. D. Schwope, G. Lamer +12
The XMM-Newton Survey Science Centre Consortium (SSC) develops software in close collaboration with the Science Operations Centre to perform a pipeline analysis of all XMM-Newton o…
The XMM-Newton serendipitous survey IX. The fourth XMM-Newton serendipitous source catalogue
N. A. Webb, M. Coriat, I. Traulsen +28
Sky surveys produce enormous quantities of data on extensive regions of the sky. The easiest way to access this information is through catalogues of standardised data products. {\e…
The XMM-Newton serendipitous survey. VIII: The first XMM-Newton serendipitous source catalogue from overlapping observations
I. Traulsen, A. D. Schwope, G. Lamer +13
XMM-Newton has observed the X-ray sky since early 2000. The XMM-Newton Survey Science Centre Consortium has published catalogues of X-ray and ultraviolet sources found serendipitou…
Probabilistic multi-catalogue positional cross-match
F. -X. Pineau, S. Derriere, C. Motch +8
We lay the foundations of a statistical framework for multi-catalogue cross-correlation and cross-identification based on explicit simplified catalogue models. A proper identificat…
The ARCHES project
C. Motch, F. Carrera, F. Genova +12
ARCHES (Astronomical Resource Cross-matching for High Energy Studies) is a FP7-Space funded project whose aim is to provide the international astronomical community with well-chara…
The XMM-Newton serendipitous survey. VII. The third XMM-Newton serendipitous source catalogue
S. R. Rosen, N. A. Webb, M. G. Watson +37
Thanks to the large collecting area (3 x ~1500 cm at 1.5 keV) and wide field of view (30' across in full field mode) of the X-ray cameras on board the European Space Agency X-r…
Building an Archive with Saada
Laurent Michel, Christian Motch, Hoan Ngoc Nguyen +1
Saada transforms a set of heterogeneous FITS files or VOTables of various categories (images, tables, spectra ...) in a database without writing code. Databases created with Saada…
The XMM-Newton SSC survey of the Galactic Plane
A. Nebot Gomez-Moran, C. Motch, X. Barcons +17
Many different classes of X-ray sources contribute to the Galactic landscape at high energies. Although the nature of the most luminous X-ray emitters is now fairly well understood…
Cross-correlation of the 2XMMi catalogue with Data Release 7 of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
F. -X. Pineau, C. Motch, F. Carrera +5
The Survey Science Centre of the XMM-Newton satellite released the first incremental version of the 2XMM catalogue in August 2008 . With more than 220,000 X-ray sources, the 2XMMi…
The XMM-Newton Serendipitous Source Catalogue
M. G. Watson, J. P. Pye, M. Denby +17
We describe the production, properties and scientific potential of the XMM-Newton catalogue of serendipitous X-ray sources. The first version of this catalogue is nearing completio…
The XMM-Newton SSC Survey of the Galactic Plane
C. Motch, X. Barcons, F. Carrera +11
The XMM-Newton Survey Science Center is currently conducting an optical identification programme of serendipitous EPIC sources at low galactic latitudes. The aim of this study is t…
The XMM-Newton Serendipitous Survey I. The role of XMM-Newton Survey Science Centre
M. G. Watson
This paper describes the performance of XMM-Newton for serendipitous surveys and summarises the scope and potential of the XMM-Newton Serendipitous Survey. The role of the Survey S…
