The XXL survey: first results and future
M. Pierre, C. Adami, M. Birkinshaw +108
The XXL survey currently covers two 25 sq. deg. patches with XMM observations of ~10ks. We summarise the scientific results associated with the first release of the XXL data set, t…
SPIDERS: the spectroscopic follow-up of X-ray selected clusters of galaxies in SDSS-IV
Nicolas Clerc, Andrea Merloni, Yu-Ying Zhang +17
SPIDERS (The SPectroscopic IDentification of eROSITA Sources) is a program dedicated to the homogeneous and complete spectroscopic follow-up of X-ray AGN and galaxy clusters over a…
The XXL Survey: VI. The 1000 brightest X-ray point sources
S. Fotopoulou, F. Pacaud, S. Paltani +36
X-ray extragalactic surveys are ideal laboratories for the study of the evolution and clustering of active galactic nuclei (AGN). The XXL Survey spans two fields of a combined 50 $…
The XXL Survey: XII. Optical spectroscopy of X-ray-selected clusters and the frequency of AGN in superclusters
E. Koulouridis, B. Poggianti, B. Altieri +13
This article belongs to the first series of XXL publications. It presents multifibre spectroscopic observations of three 0.55 sq.deg. fields in the XXL Survey, which were selected…
The XXL Survey VIII: MUSE characterisation of intracluster light in a z0.53 cluster of galaxies
C. Adami, E. Pompei, T. Sadibekova +11
Within a cluster, gravitational effects can lead to the removal of stars from their parent galaxies. Gas hydrodynamical effects can additionally strip gas and dust from galaxies. T…
