NEWS
New, comprehensive versions of the XMM-Newton Serendipitous Source Catalogues:
4XMM-DR9 and 4XMM-DR9s
A new, improved version of the XMM-Newton EPIC Serendipitous Source
Catalogue, 4XMM-DR9, has been released by the XMM-Newton Survey Science
Centre (XMM-SSC) in collaboration with the SOC.
This version of the catalogue has been created after a full
re-reduction of all of the XMM-Newton data taken since launch, 20 years
ago, using improved calibration and software. A major improvement to
the background model has resulted in more reliable source detection.
4XMM-DR9 includes 810795 X-ray detections which relate to 550124 unique
X-ray sources from 11204 observations that were public by the 1st March
2019.
4XMM-DR9 covers a total sky area, with at least 1 ks exposure, of ~1152
square degrees if overlaps are taken into account, where some regions
of the sky have been pointed as many as 69 times. Around 9.5% of all
the detections are classified as extended, and spectra and time series
have been extracted for 36% of the detections. The median positional
uncertainty of the catalogue detections is 1.7 arcseconds (with a
standard deviation of 1.4). Median sensitivities in the catalogue are
~5.3E-15 and ~1.2E-14 erg/cm2/s in the soft (0.2-2 keV) and hard (2-12
keV) X-ray band, respectively.
With 4XMM-DR9, we also release 4XMM-DR9s, a version of the catalogue
created from overlapping observations. Stacking observations provides
longer effective exposure times, resulting in better source parameters
and higher sensitivity. Also, time variability is uncovered through the
source detection process.
4XMM-DR9s is built from 1329 stacks (or groups) with 6604 contributing
observations. Most of the stacks are composed of 2 observations and the
largest has 352. The catalogue contains 288191 sources, of which 218283
have several contributing observations.
The catalogue is described in the paper Webb et al. (submitted) and the
stacked catalogue is further described in Traulsen et al. (submitted).
Details of the catalogue, the catalogue files and full 4XMM
documentation are available on the XMM-SSC webpages at

FITS files containing summary information about the observations used
in the catalogue are also provided. FITS and CSV versions of the full
4XMM catalogue and a slimline version of the FITS file are also
available for download at

The slimline version of 4XMM-DR9 has only one row per unique source
(rather than per detection as in the main catalogue) and a reduced
number of columns that essentially pertain to the unique source
quantities.
Alongside the XSA user interface, 4XMM is also distributed through:

The XMM-SSC upper limit server (FLIX, Flux Limits from Images from
XMM-Newton) has also been updated for 4XMM-DR9. This server provides an
upper limit server for the flux given a non-detection in a region
observed by XMM-Newton. The upper limit can be calculated for any of
the standard XMM-Newton bands for a user defined statistical
significance and sky region. It is accessible via the XMM-SSC webpages.
Release of full pipeline-reprocessed XMM-Newton data
XMM-Newton observations since the beginning of the mission have been
fully reprocessed along 2019 with an enhanced processing pipeline, that
has resulted in an homogeneous set of products for all the instruments.
The 4XMM Source Catalogue has been constructed from the products of the
reprocessing of observations publicly available before March 1st, 2019.
This large and uniformly processed set of data products has been
ingested in XSA between the 21st and 30th of November 2019, and is now
accessible through the newly released XSA.
XSA v12.0 release with access to 4XMM DR9 and DR9s and to the reprocessed PPS
products
Access to the items described above is provided in the new version of
the XMM-Newton Science Archive, XSA v12.0, that is available at
