XMMU J134736.6+173403: an eclipsing LMXB in quiescence or a peculiar AGN?
S. Carpano, B. Altieri, A. R. King +2
Aims. We report the discovery of a peculiar object observed serendipitously with XMM-Newton. We present its timing and spectral properties and investigate its optical counterpart.…
XMM-LSS discovery of a z=1.22 galaxy cluster
M. N. Bremer, I. Valtchanov, J. P. Willis +11
We present details of the discovery of XLSSJ022303.0-043622, a z=1.2 cluster of galaxies. This cluster was identified from its X-ray properties and selected as a z>1 candidate from…
The XMM Large Scale Structure survey: The X-ray pipeline and survey selection function
F. Pacaud, M. Pierre, A. Refregier +11
We present the X-ray pipeline developed for the purpose of the cluster search in the XMM-LSS survey. It is based on a two-stage procedure via a dedicated handling of the Poisson na…
The XMM-LSS Survey: A well controlled X-ray cluster sample over the D1 CFHTLS area
M. Pierre, F. Pacaud, P. -A. Duc +24
We present the XMM-LSS cluster catalogue corresponding to the CFHTLS D1 area. The list contains 13 spectroscopically confirmed, X-ray selected galaxy clusters over 0.8 deg2 to a re…
The XMM Large-Scale Structure Survey: An initial sample of galaxy groups and clusters to a redshift z<0.6
J. P. Willis, F. Pacaud, I. Valtchanov +14
We present X-ray and optical spectroscopic observations of twelve galaxy groups and clusters identified within the XMM Large-Scale Structure (LSS) survey. Groups and clusters are s…
Batch discovery of nine z~1 clusters using x-ray and K or R,z' images
S. Andreon, I. Valtchanov, L. R. Jones +5
We present results of an initial search for clusters of galaxies at z~1 and above, using data from 2.9 square degrees of XMM-Newton images. By selecting weak potentially extended X…
