This database table contains the latest XMM-Newton XAssist source list. XAssist is a NASA-funded project for the automation of X-ray astrophysics, with emphasis on galaxies. It is capable of data reprocessing, source detection, and preliminary spatial, temporal, and spectral analysis for all sources with sufficient counts. The bulk of the system is written in Python, which in turn drives underlying software to process the XMM-Newton data. Pipelines running on XMM-Newton observations of galaxies have generated the source list which comprises this HEASARC table. The pipeline also includes fields requested by users for various projects, most notably observations of a sample of quasars and several deep field observations have been processed. Note that the pipline processing is completely automated; therefore, users should visually inspect the results of any queries. This table was first created by the HEASARC in July 2005 based on the XMM source list available at the XAssist website. In December 2012, the HEASARC switched over to using the "pipeline5" XMM source list. It is updated on a weekly basis when and if the XAssist source list file at https://asd.gsfc.nasa.gov/xassist/pipeline5/xmm/master_srclist.csv is updated. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

This database table is a catalog of all the RXTE slew observations and is based on information culled from the RXTE Data Archive's latest top-level FMI (FITS Master Index) file that is created when data products are made publicly available each week. ObsIDs listed in this table are available for download from https://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/FTP/xte/data/archive/. See the parameter 'data_loc' for the relative location of specific ObsIDs. The XTESLEW database table is updated automatically, usually on a weekly basis whenever the RXTE GOF updates the top-level FMI for the public data archive and notifies the HEASARC.

The stacked catalog 4XMM-DR14s (XMMSTACK) has been compiled from 1,751 groups, comprising 10,336 overlapping XMM-Newton observations. They were selected from the public observations taken between 2000 February 1 and 2023 November 16 which overlap by at least one arcminute in radius. It contains 427,524 unique sources, 329,972 of them multiply observed, with positions and source parameters like fluxes in the XMM-Newton standard energy bands, hardness ratios, quality estimate, and information on inter-observation variability. The parameters are directly derived from the simultaneous fit, and, wherever applicable, additionally calculated for each contributing observation. Exposures that do not qualify for source detection, for example because of a high background level, are used for subsequent PSF photometry: source fluxes and flux-related parameters are derived for them at the source position and extent found during source detection. 4XMM-DR14s lists 1,807,316 individual flux measurements of the 427,524 unique sources. Stacked source detection aims at exploring the multiply observed sky regions and exploit their survey potential, in particular to study the long-term behavior of X-ray emitting sources. It thus makes use of the long(er) effective exposure time per sky area and offers the opportunity to investigate flux variability directly through the source detection process. The main catalog properties are summarized in the table below, the data processing and the stacked source detection are described in the processing summary. To ensure detection quality, background levels are assessed, and event-based astrometric corrections are applied before running source detection. After source detections, problematic detections and detection parameters are flagged by an automated algorithm. All detections are screened visually, and obviously spurious sources are flagged manually. This table contains the source parameters from the individual observations in the stacked catalog, 4XMM-DR14s. The parameters are derived from the simultaneous source-detection fit to all stacked observations at the common source position for each observation that covers a source, amounting to 1,807,316 measurements. The mean source parameters from stacked source detection are provided in the associated main table 4XMM-DR14s, referred to as XMMSTACK. The authors referred to the EPIC instruments with the following designations: PN, M1 (MOS1), and M2 (MOS2). The energy bands used in the 4XMM processing were the same as for the 3XMM catalog. The following are the basic energy bands:

 1: 0.2-0.5 keV 2: 0.5-1.0 keV 3: 1.0-2.0 keV 4: 2.0-4.5 keV 5: 4.5-12.0 keV 

All-EPIC values cover the energy range 0.2-12.0 keV. The full catalog documentation can be found at https://xmmssc.aip.de/. The following table gives an overview of the statistics of this catalog in comparison with the previous stacked catalogs, 4XMM-DR14s through 3XMM-DR7s:

This database table was created for the purpose of providing a comprehensive, accurate, and easily accessible tracking of Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) pointed observations. It does not list observations made during slews: those are listed in the XTESLEW database table. The XTEMASTER table includes both observations that have already completed and those still scheduled to be done. The XTEMASTER table is regenerated automatically on a quasi-regular basis whenever the RXTE Science Operations Facility (SOF) updates their short-term or long-term schedules and transfers the new version(s) to the HEASARC. At that time, it will also incorporate all the latest information on which targets have been observed (using the daily RXTE ObsCats at https://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/FTP/xte/timelines/obscat/) and which observations have been archived in the public RXTE Data Archive at https://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/FTP/xte/data/archive/.

The 2023 release of the XMM OM Serendipitous Ultraviolet Source Survey (XMM-SUSS6.1) Catalog, a catalog of optical/UV sources detected by the Optical Monitor (OM) on-board the European Space Agency's (ESA's) XMM-Newton observatory, spans the period of observations from 2000 to November 2022. The data processing was performed at the European Space Astronomy Centre (ESAC, Madrid, Spain) using the XMM Science Analysis Software system (SAS) versions 18 and 19. In addition to covering a larger observation period, this sixth release reflects a change in philosophy with regard to the origin of the incorporated data. In previous releases, the data were generated via a bespoke processing of the OM Observation Data Files (ODFs) while in this new release, the catalog has been guided by the XMM user community and the authors have sought to harmonize the contents of the catalog with those of the OM data in the XMM-Newton Science Archive (XSA), which derive from the standard XMM-Newton pipeline processing system. While the bespoke processing and pipeline systems are fundamentally very similar, they are not identical and the differences lead to some differences in the output. The number of observations (OBSIDs) included in the catalog is 12,057. This table (XMMOMSUOB) contains the list of these observations and their characteristics, giving for each observation the filters used, the exposure time for each filter, the number of sources detected in each filter and the detection magnitude limit for each filter. The total number of entries in this release is 9,920,390. They correspond to 6,659,554 unique sources, of which 1,225,117 have multiple entries in the source table, corresponding to different observations. This list of sources is available at the HEASARC as the XMMOMSUSS table. The documentation on the first release of this catalog is available at http://www.mssl.ucl.ac.uk/www_astro/XMM-OM-SUSS/Summary.shtml. This HEASARC database table contains the sixth release of the XMM-OM SUSS catalog, XMM-SUSS6.1, released by ESA in October 2023, obtained from the XMM-Newton Science Archive (http://xmm.esac.esa.int/xsa), and ingested into the HEASARC database in October 2023. It is also available at the HEASARC as the gzipped FITS file https://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/FTP/xmm/data/catalogues/XMM-OM-SUSS6-1.1.fits.gz. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

This table contains the 'total' sample of sources from the third catalog of X-ray sources found in slew data taken by the European Space Agency's XMM-Newton Observatory, XMMSL3 or XMMSLEW, Version 3.0. It has been created by the XMM-Newton Survey Science Center (SSC) on behalf of ESA, building on previous work carried out by the XMM-Newton SOC. It is an incremental version of the XMMSL2 catalog but contains 50% more observations than the previous version, including 8.5 additional years of data, using modified software and slightly revised screening methodology and therefore has been given a major version increment. It contains 1006 more observations for a total of 3120 observations and 68,383 more detections (for a total of 140,735 detections) than the preceding XMMSL2 catalog, which was made public in March 2017. This release of XMMSL3 contains detections drawn from 3120 XMM-Newton pn slew observations, covering an energy interval from 0.2 keV to 12 keV. These observations were made between 2000 August 26 and 2023 August 11. All slew observations are public. A full discussion of the differences between XMMSL3 and XMMSL2 is given in Section 12 of the XMMSL3 Users Guide. This database table was first created by the HEASARC in August 2007 based on the FITS version of XMMSL1D1 (v1.1) of the XMM Slew Catalog. The current version was ingested in February 2025 and is based on the FITS version of XMMSL3 (v3.0) of the XMM Slew Catalog obtained from the following URLs: http://xmmssc.irap.omp.eu/Catalogue/XMMSL3/xmmsl3_v1.0.fits (the total sample).

The HEASARC has endeavored to retain the same parameter names as in the ESA version, but some names have been changed so as to conform to the standard HEASARC parameter naming conventions, e.g., all error parameter names which ended in "_err" in the ESA version end in "_error" in this HEASARC version. For other parameters which have had their names changed, their original ESA names are listed in square brackets in their descriptions below. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

This table contains the 'clean' sample of sources from the third catalog of X-ray sources found in slew data taken by the European Space Agency's XMM-Newton Observatory, XMMSL3 or XMMSLEW, Version 3.0.
