Unveiling the soft X-ray source population towards the inner Galactic disk with XMM-Newton

Tong Bao, Gabriele Ponti, Frank Haberl +5

Across the Galactic disk lies a diverse population of X-ray sources, with the fainter end remaining poorly understood due to past survey sensitivity limits. We aim to classify and…
