Subaru/XMM-Newton Deep Survey X-Ray Source List

Published by High Energy Astrophysics Science Archive Research Center | National Aeronautics and Space Administration | Metadata Last Checked: September 14, 2025 | Last Modified: 2025-09-10
This table contains the X-ray source catalog in the Subaru/XMM-Newton Deep Survey (SXDS). A continuous area of 1.14 deg<sup>2</sup> centered at R.A.= 02h 18m and Dec =- 05 degrees is mapped by seven pointings with XMM-Newton covering the 0.2 - 10 keV band. From the combined images of the EPIC pn and MOS cameras, the authors have detected 866, 1114, 645, and 136 sources with sensitivity limits of 6 x 10<sup>-16</sup>, 8 x 10<sup>-16</sup>, 3 x 10<sup>-15</sup>, and 5 x 10<sup>-15</sup> ergs cm<sup>-2</sup> s<sup>-1</sup> in the 0.5 - 2, 0.5 - 4.5, 2 - 10, and 4.5 - 10 keV bands, respectively, with detection likelihood >=7 (corresponding to a confidence level of 99.91%). The catalog consists of 1245 sources in total, including 32 extended-source candidates. The averaged log N-log S relations are in good agreement with previous results, bridging the flux range between Chandra deep surveys and brighter surveys. The log N-log S relations show significant spatial variation among pointings on a scale of 0.2 deg<sup>2</sup>. Analyzing the autocorrelation function, the authors detect significant clustering signals from the 0.5 - 2 keV band sample, which can be fit with a power-law form (theta/theta<sub>c</sub>)<sup>(-0.8)</sup> with a correlation length of theta<sub>c</sub> of 5.9 (+1.0, -0.9) arcsec when the integral constraint term is included. In the 2 - 10 keV band, however, the clustering is not significant, with a 90% upper limit of theta<sub>c</sub> < 1.5 arcsec. This table was created by the HEASARC in November 2008 based on an electronic version of Table 2 of the reference paper obtained from the Astrophysical Journal website.
