Abstract:
Pointed observations with XMM-Newton provide the basis for creating
catalogues of X-ray sources detected serendipitously in each field.
This paper describes the creation and characteristics of the 2XMM
catalogue.
The 2XMM catalogue has been compiled from a new processing of the
XMM-Newton EPIC camera data. The main features of the processing
pipeline are described in detail.
The catalogue, the largest ever made at X-ray wavelengths, contains
246897 detections drawn from 3491 public XMM-Newton observations over
a 7-year interval, which relate to 191870 unique sources. The
catalogue fields cover a sky area of more than 500deg^2^. The
non-overlapping sky are a is 360deg^2^ ( 1% of the sky) as many
regions of the sky are observed more than once by XMM-Newton. The
catalogue probes a large sky area at the flux limit where the bulk of
the objects that contribute to the X-ray background lie and provides a
major resource for generating large, well-defined X-ray selected
source samples, studying the X-ray source population and identifying
rare object types. The main characteristics of the catalogue are
presented, including its photometric and astrometric properties
The 2XMMi catalogue is available as Cat. IX/40 in VizieR.
