We present a catalog of 792 DR5 SDSS quasars with optical spectra that have been observed serendipitously in the X-rays with the \emph{XMM-Newton}. These quasars cover a redshift range of z = 0.11 - 5.41 and a magnitude range of i = 15.3-20.7. Substantial numbers of radio-loud (70) and broad absorption line (51) quasars exist within this sample. Significant X-ray detections at >2sigma account for 87% of the sample (685 quasars), and 473 quasars are detected at >6sigma, sufficient to allow X-ray spectral fits. For detected sources, ~ 60% have X-ray fluxes between F(2-10 keV) = 1 - 10 x 10^-14 ergs cm^-2 s^-1. We fit a single power-law, a fixed power-law with intrinsic absorption left free to vary, and an absorbed power-law model to all quasars with X-ray S/N > 6, resulting in a weighted mean photon index Gamma = 1.91 +/- 0.08, with an intrinsic dispersion sigma_Gamma = 0.38. For the 55 sources (11.6%) that prefer intrinsic absorption, we find a weighted mean N_H = 1.5 +/- 0.3 x 10^21 cm^-2. We find that Gamma correlates significantly with optical color, Delta(g-i), the optical-to-X-ray spectral index (alpha_ox) and the X-ray luminosity. While the first two correlations can be explained as artefacts of undetected intrinsic absorption, the correlation between Gamma and X-ray luminosity appears to be a real physical correlation, indicating a pivot in the X-ray slope.
Optical Emission Lines and the X-Ray Properties of Type 1 Seyfert Galaxies
在这篇文章中,我们报告的光学发射线和X射线光谱的样本1型活动星系核的研究,收集在斯隆数字巡天数据库和观测的XMM牛顿卫星。利用机载XMM的不同仪器,我们确定的软,硬能带的光谱成分(范围从0.3千电子伏至10千电子伏)。研究了X射线连续谱和Fe K α谱线特征与宽谱线分布和强度比的关系。由此产生的图像的发射,吸收和反射过程的解释通过BLR结构模型,是独立的光学和无线电观测的基础上开发的。
Cross-correlation of the 2XMMi catalogue with Data Release 7 of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
XMM-牛顿卫星的测量科学中心于2008年8月发布了2XMM目录的第一个增量版本。2XMMi拥有超过220,000个X射线源,是当时出版的最大的X射线源目录,因此构成了研究活动星系核和恒星等各类X射线发射体高能特性的前所未有的资源。斯隆数字巡天第七版的出现提供了交叉匹配两个主要巡天的机会,并将许多2XMMi源的光谱能量分布扩展到光学波段。本文提出了一种基于经典似然比估计的交叉匹配算法。该方法的优点是提供真正的概率识别,而不诉诸蒙特卡罗模拟。超过30,000个2XMMi源具有SDSS对应物,其个体识别概率高于90%。使用光谱鉴定从SDSS DR 7目录补充提取从其他目录中,我们建立了一个识别的样本,从该样本中可以分析各种类别的X射线发射体在多维参数空间中的聚集方式。我们研究了两个科学用例。在第一个例子中,我们展示了如何使用这些多波长数据来搜索新的类星体2。虽然没有具体的范围内观察到的属性,让我们来确定康普顿厚类星体,我们表明,前景要好得多的康普顿薄AGN 2,并讨论了几种可能的多参数选择策略。在第二个例子中,我们在500多颗X射线活跃恒星的样本中确认了平均X射线光谱随着X射线亮度的增加而硬化,并揭示了平均而言,X射线活跃的M星显示出比不太活跃的恒星更蓝的$g-r$颜色指数(删节)。
The 31 Deg$^2$ Release of the Stripe 82 X-ray Survey: The Point Source Catalog
我们发布了Stripe 82 X射线测量点源目录的下一部分,该目录目前涵盖了斯隆数字巡天(SDSS)Stripe 82 Legacy字段的31.3 deg $^2$。总之,使用{ \it XMM-Newton}($>5σ$)和{ \it Chandra}($>4.5σ$)可显著检测到6181个独特的X射线源。此目录版本包括来自{ \it XMM-Newton}周期AO 13的数据,该周期约使Stripe 82 X勘探面积增加了一倍。Stripe 82 X测量的通量限值为$8.7\times10^{-16}$ erg s $^{-1}$ cm $^{-2}$、$4.7\times10^{-15}$ erg s $^{-1}$ cm $^{-2}$和$2.1\times10^{-15}$ erg s $^{-1}$ cm $^{-2}$,(0.5-2 keV),硬(2-10 keV)和全波段(0.5-10 keV),近似半面积测量通量极限为$5.4\times10^{-15}$ erg s $^{-1}$ cm $^{-2}$,$2.9\times10^{-14}$ erg s $^{-1}$ cm $^{-2}$,和$1.7\times10^{-14}$ erg s $^{-1}$ cm $^{-2}$。我们将X射线源列表与可用的多波长目录进行了匹配,包括与先前发布的Stripe 8…
