Overview

The stacked catalog 4XMM-DR14s (XMMSTACK) has been compiled from 1,751 groups, comprising 10,336 overlapping XMM-Newton observations. They were selected from the public observations taken between 2000 February 1 and 2023 November 16 which overlap by at least one arcminute in radius. It contains 427,524 unique sources, 329,972 of them multiply observed, with positions and source parameters like fluxes in the XMM-Newton standard energy bands, hardness ratios, quality estimate, and information on inter-observation variability. The parameters are directly derived from the simultaneous fit, and, wherever applicable, additionally calculated for each contributing observation. Exposures that do not qualify for source detection, for example because of a high background level, are used for subsequent PSF photometry: source fluxes and flux-related parameters are derived for them at the source position and extent found during source detection. 4XMM-DR14s lists 1,807,316 individual flux measurements of the 427,524 unique sources.

Stacked source detection aims at exploring the multiply observed sky regions and exploit their survey potential, in particular to study the long-term behavior of X-ray emitting sources. It thus makes use of the long(er) effective exposure time per sky area and offers the opportunity to investigate flux variability directly through the source detection process. The main catalog properties are summarized in the table below, the data processing and the stacked source detection are described in the processing summary. To ensure detection quality, background levels are assessed, and event-based astrometric corrections are applied before running source detection. After source detections, problematic detections and detection parameters are flagged by an automated algorithm. All detections are screened visually, and obviously spurious sources are flagged manually.

This table contains the source parameters from the individual observations in the stacked catalog, 4XMM-DR14s. The parameters are derived from the simultaneous source-detection fit to all stacked observations at the common source position for each observation that covers a source, amounting to 1,807,316 measurements. The mean source parameters from stacked source detection are provided in the associated main table 4XMM-DR14s, referred to as XMMSTACK.

The authors referred to the EPIC instruments with the following designations: PN, M1 (MOS1), and M2 (MOS2). The energy bands used in the 4XMM processing were the same as for the 3XMM catalog.

The following are the basic energy bands:

     1:  0.2-0.5 keV
     2:  0.5-1.0 keV
     3:  1.0-2.0 keV
     4:  2.0-4.5 keV
     5:  4.5-12.0 keV
All-EPIC values cover the energy range 0.2-12.0 keV.

Provenance

This database table was last updated by the HEASARC in July 2024. It contains the 4XMM-DR14s observations catalog, released by ESA on 2024-07-09 and obtained from the XMM-Newton Survey Science Center Consortium at https://xmmssc.aip.de/cms/catalogues/4xmm-dr14s/. It is also available as a gzipped FITS file.

Parameters

SrcID
The unique identifier assigned to the source detection.

ObsID
The unique identifier of the XMM-Newton observation.

Name
The source designation in the style of the 4XMM IAU names. The prefix on each of the names ends with an "s" to signify it is a stacked source.

N_Exp
The number of exposures covering the source. The number of exposures with which the source was fitted.

N_Exp_Sdet
The number of exposures used in source detection.

N_Exp_Phot
The number of exposures used for PSF photometry.

RA
The Right Ascension in the specified equinox. The position of the source is the result of the simultaneous fit and considered to be the same for the stack (in xmmstack) and associated individual observations.

Dec
The Declination of the source in the specified equinox. The position of the source is the result of the simultaneous fit and considered to be the same for the stack (in xmmstack) and associated individual observations.

LII
Galactic Longitude. The position of the source is the result of the simultaneous fit and considered to be the same for the stack (in xmmstack) and associated individual observations.

Error_Radius
Square root of the squared sum of the 1-sigma uncertainties in the Right Ascension and Declination, in arcseconds. The combined position error, ERROR_RADIUS, is calculated from the errors of the image coordinates: sqrt(X_PIXEL_ERROR2+Y_PIXEL_ERROR2). For symmetric errors in both dimensions, ERROR_RADIUS/sqrt(2) is the one-dimensional 1-sigma position uncertainty, giving the coordinate interval that includes 68% of normally distributed data points, and sqrt(2.3/2)*ERROR_RADIUS is the two-dimensional error, giving the radius of a circularized ellipse that include 68% of normally distributed data points.

X_Pixel
X coordinate within the rebinned image. The position of the source is the result of the simultaneous fit and considered to be the same for the stack (in xmmstack) and associated individual observations.

1-sigma uncertainty in X coordinate within the rebinned image. The position error of the source is the result of the simultaneous fit and considered to be the same for the stack (in xmmstack) and associated individual observations.

Y coordinate within the rebinned image. The position of the source is the result of the simultaneous fit and considered to be the same for the stack (in xmmstack) and associated individual observations.

Dist_NN
The distance to the nearest neighboring detection, in arcseconds.

N_Blend

Name_Detcat
The IAU source designation assigned to the nearest unique source in 4XMM-DR14.

Srcid_Detcat
The unique source identifier of the nearest source in 4XMM-DR14 within the correlation radius. Two sources are associated if their separation is no larger than three times the sum of their position errors, which is assumed to be at least one arcsecond to account for systematic errors. The matching radius per source is therefore:

       rmatch = max (1", 3 x [ ERROR_RADIUS + ERROR_RADIUS_DETCAT ])
A null value refers to the case where no counterpart is found.

Detid_Detcat
Detection identifier of the nearest unique 4XMM-DR14 source in OBSID. (DETID in 4XMM-DR14)

Overlap_Flag
A flag which indicates whether or not the source is located in an area in which several observations overlap.

Sdetqual_Flag
A flag which indicates whether or not the source was detected in a (chip) region of reasonable detection quality ("T" for true) or of poor quality ("F" for false).

Stack_Flag
The summarized numeric quality flag of the detection, as follows:

      -1 = same as 1
       0 = all flags are false
       1 = at least one of the flags 1, 2, 3, 9 is true
       2 = at least one of the flags 4-8 is true, potentially a spurious source
      10 = no automatic flag but marked as probably spurious based on visual screening
      11 = at least one of the flags 1, 2, 3, 9 is true, based on automated flag, and was also marked as probably spurious based on visual screening
      12 = at least one of the flags 4-8 is true, based on automated flag, and was also marked as probably spurious based on visual screening

      For more details about the quality flags, refer to Section 7.3 in Watson
      et al. (2009, A&A, 493, 339).

EP_Flag

The quality flags of the MOS1 instrument, combined into a 9-character string (refer to Watson et al., 2009, A&A, 493, 339), for the individual image. A "true" flag means a warning on the detection condition.

M2_Flag
The quality flags of the MOS2 instrument, combined into a 9-character string (refer to Watson et al., 2009, A&A, 493, 339), for the individual image. A "true" flag means a warning on the detection condition.
