Search the XMM-Newton source catalog. Query can be any column name and constraint on its value glued by AND/OR with another constraint. Column name can be: SC_RA, SC_DEC, SC_POSERR, SC_DET_ML, SC_EXTENT, SC_FVAR, SC_EP_8_FLUX and others.

Example: {$ searchexample = "cone('M31', '1deg') and sc_det_ml > 800" $}

Power density spectrum plot feature added to the website. Its use is showcased in a tutorial where one can re-discover several new extragalactic pulsars — super-Eddington pulsars in ULX and the slowest spinning X-ray pulsar in a globular cluster.

WEBSITE OVERVIEW

This website provides experimental access to the XMM-Newton source catalog 4XMM-DR10 and some of its associated data products. Launched in 1999, the XMM-Newton satellite is the major European X-ray observatory-class telescope that is operated by the European Space Agency (ESA). The XMM-Newton Survey Science Centre has run the pipeline that processed data of 11647 XMM-Newton observations that took place between 2000 and 2020 covering 11192 square degrees of the sky and compiled present catalog. It comprises 849 991 individual detections of 575 158 unique X-ray sources and so far it is the largest existing X-ray catalog.

Here you can:

  • search the sources table
  • explore data on individual detections of sources you selected
  • fit X-ray spectra of detections
  • download any associated data products for own analysis
  • plot search results
  • build Virtual Observatory workflows to study lists of sources

Please note that this website is in its early beta stage. Feel free to report the issues and vote for requested features at dedicated user feedback page. If you find this website useful for your research, please include its URL and the reference to Zolotukhin et al. (2017) ApJ 839 125 in your publications.
