The XMM-Newton wide-field survey in the COSMOS field
Context. The COSMOS survey is a multiwavelength survey aimed to study the evolution of galaxies, AGN and large scale structures. Within this survey XMM-COSMOS a powerful tool to detect AGN and galaxy clusters. The XMM-COSMOS is a deep X-ray survey over the full 2 deg2 of the COSMOS area. It consists of 55 XMM-Newton pointings for a total exposure of ∼1.5 Ms with an average vignetting-corrected ...
متن کاملThe Xmm-newton Wide-field Survey in the Cosmos Field: Vi. Statistical Properties of Clusters of Galaxies
We present the results of a search for galaxy clusters in the first 36 XMM-Newton pointings on the COSMOS field. We reach a depth for a total cluster flux in the 0.5–2 keV band of 3×10 ergs cm s, having one of the widest XMM-Newton contiguous raster surveys, covering an area of 2.1 square degrees. Cluster candidates are identified through a wavelet detection of extended X-ray emission. Verifica...
متن کاملThe XMM - Newton survey in the H - ATLAS field ,
Wide-area X-ray and far-infrared surveys are a fundamental tool to investigate the link between AGN growth and star formation, especially in the low-redshift universe (z 1). The Herschel Terahertz Large Area survey (H-ATLAS) has covered 550 deg2 in five far-infrared and sub-mm bands, 16 deg2 of which have been presented in the Science Demonstration Phase (SDP) catalogue. Here we introduce the X...
متن کاملThe Xmm–newton Wide-field Survey in the Cosmos Field. Iii: Optical Identification and Multiwavelength Properties of a Large Sample of X–ray Selected Sources
We present the optical identification of a sample of 695 X-ray sources detected in the first 1.3 deg of the XMM-COSMOS survey, down to a 0.5-2 keV (2-10 keV) limiting flux of ∼ 10 erg cm s (∼ 5×10 erg cm s). In order to identify the correct optical counterparts and to assess the statistical significance of the X-ray to optical associations we have used the “likelihood ratio technique”. Here we ...
متن کاملXmm-newton and Wide Field Optical Imaging to Crack the Mystery of Unidentified Gamma-ray Sources
The limited angular resolution of gamma-ray telescopes prevents the straight identification of the majority of the sources detected so far. While the only certified galactic gamma-ray emitters are associated with pulsars, more than 90% of the nearly 100 low latitude sources detected by EGRET on the GRO lack an identification. The best identification strategy devised over the years relies on the...
