Lockman Hole XMM-Newton X-Ray Point Source Catalog

Description

The Lockman Hole represents the sky area of lowest Galactic line-of-sight columns density. It was observed by the XMM-Newton X-ray observatory in 18 pointings performed between April 2000 and December 2002. The total exposure time spent on the field was 1.16 Ms (EPIC pn detector; EPIC MOS detector: 1.30 Ms). The effective exposure after removal of times of high particle background is 637 ks (EPIC pn detector; EPIC MOS detector: 765 ks). The catalog lists positions, count rates, fluxes, hardness ratios, and partial optical classifications of 409 X-ray point sources detected in the central 0.196 square degrees of the field down to a detection likelihood threshold in the full energy band of 10 (3.9 sigma), up to 4 of which may be spurious according to the authors' Monte Carlo simulations. The analysis was performed using the XMM-Newton SAS data analysis package version 6.0. This table was created by the HEASARC in May 2008 based on the <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/A+A/479/283">CDS Catalog J/A+A/479/283</a> file table3.dat.
