The Elais Deep X-ray Survey

چکیده
We present initial follow-up results of the ELAIS Deep X-ray Survey which is being undertaken with the Chandra and XMM-Newton Observatories. 235 X-ray sources are detected in our two 75 ks ACIS-I observations in the well-studied ELAIS N1 and N2 areas. 90% of the X-ray sources are identified optically to R = 26 with a median magnitude of R = 24. We show that objects which are unresolved optically (i.e. quasars) follow a correlation between their optical and X-ray fluxes, whereas galaxies do not. We also find that the quasars with fainter optical counterparts have harder X-ray spectra, consistent with absorption at both wavebands. Initial spectroscopic follow-up has revealed a large fraction of high-luminosity Type 2 quasars. The prospects for studying the evolution of the host galaxies of X-ray selected Type 2 AGN are considered.

Testing the starburst/AGN connection with SWIRE X-ray/70μm sources
We explore the nature of X-ray sources with 70μm counterparts selected in the SWIRE fields ELAIS-N1, Lockman Hole and Chandra Deep Field South, for which Chandra X-ray data are available. A total of 28 X-ray/70μm sources in the redshift interval 0.5 < z < 1.3 are selected. The X-ray luminosities and the shape of the X-ray spectra show that these sources are AGN. Modelling of the optical to far-...

We present u-, g-, r-, iand z-band optical images and associated catalogues taken primarily with the Isaac Newton Telescope Wide Field Camera on the European Large Area ISO Survey (ELAIS) N1 and N2, First Look Survey and Lockman Hole fields comprising a total of 1000 h of integration time over 80 deg2 and approximately 4.3 million objects. In this paper we outline the observations and data proc...
متن کاملA population of extreme mid-to-near-infrared sources: obscured AGN and dusty starbursts
We present a sample of mid-infrared detected sources from the European Large Area ISO Survey (ELAIS) regions characterised by strong mid-IR radiation with faint near-IR and optical counterparts. These extreme mid-to-near-IR objects (EMNOs) are defined here by a flux ratio of fν(15μm)/fν (2.2μm) > 25. This population is not obvious in deeper small area ISO surveys, though it produces more than 2...
متن کاملGALEX Ultraviolet Spectroscopy and Deep Imaging of Luminous InfraRed Galaxies in the ELAIS S1 field
The ELAIS S1 field was observed by GALEX in both its Wide Spectroscopic and Deep Imaging Survey modes. This field was previously observed by the Infrared Space Observatory and we made use of the catalogue of multi-wavelength data published by the ELAIS consortium to select galaxies common to the two samples. Among the 959 objects with GALEX spectroscopy, 88 are present in the ELAIS catalog and ...
متن کاملThe European Large Area Iso Survey Isophot Results Using the Mpia-pipeline
The European Large Area ISO Survey (ELAIS) will provide Infrared observations of 4 regions in the sky with ISO. Around 2000 Infrared sources have been detected at 7 and 15 m (with ISOCAM), 90 and 175 m(with ISOPHOT)) over 13 square degrees of the sky. We present the source extraction pipeline of the 90 m ISOPHOT observations, describe and discuss the results obtained and derive the limits of th...
