Sloan Digital Sky Survey Stripe 82 XMM-Newton Source Match Catalog

This table contains some of the data from the latest release of the Stripe 82 X-ray (82X) survey point-source catalog, which currently covers 31.3 deg&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Stripe 82 Legacy field. In total, 6,181 unique X-ray sources are significantly detected with XMM-Newton (&gt; 5 sigma) and Chandra (&gt; 4.5 sigma). This 31 deg&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; catalog release includes data from XMM-Newton cycle AO 13, which approximately doubled the Stripe 82X survey area. The flux limits of the Stripe 82X survey are 8.7 x 10&lt;sup&gt;-16&lt;/sup&gt; erg s&lt;sup&gt;-1&lt;/sup&gt; cm&lt;sup&gt;-2&lt;/sup&gt;, 4.7 x 10&lt;sup&gt;-15&lt;/sup&gt; erg s&lt;sup&gt;-1&lt;/sup&gt; cm&lt;sup&gt;-2&lt;/sup&gt;, and 2.1 x 10&lt;sup&gt;-15&lt;/sup&gt; erg s&lt;sup&gt;-1&lt;/sup&gt; cm^=2^ in the soft (0.5 - 2.0 keV), hard (2 - 10 keV), and full (0.5 - 10 keV) bands, respectively, with approximate half-area survey flux limits of 5.4 x 10&lt;sup&gt;-15&lt;/sup&gt; erg s&lt;sup&gt;-1&lt;/sup&gt; cm&lt;sup&gt;-2&lt;/sup&gt;, 2.9 x 10&lt;sup&gt;-14&lt;/sup&gt; erg s&lt;sup&gt;-1&lt;/sup&gt; cm&lt;sup&gt;-2&lt;/sup&gt;, and 1.7 x 10&lt;sup&gt;-14&lt;/sup&gt; erg s&lt;sup&gt;-1&lt;/sup&gt; cm&lt;sup&gt;-2&lt;/sup&gt;, respectively. The authors matched the X-ray source lists to available multi-wavelength catalogs, including updated matches to the previous release of the Stripe 82X survey; 88% of the sample is matched to a multi-wavelength counterpart. Due to the wide area of Stripe 82X and rich ancillary multi-wavelength data, including coadded SDSS photometry, mid-infrared WISE coverage, near-infrared coverage from UKIDSS and VISTA Hemisphere Survey (VHS), ultraviolet coverage from GALEX, radio coverage from FIRST, and far-infrared coverage from Herschel, as well as existing ~30% optical spectroscopic completeness, this study is beginning to uncover rare objects, such as obscured high-luminosity active galactic nuclei at high redshift. The Stripe 82X point source catalog is a valuable data set for constraining how this population grows and evolves, as well as for studying how they interact with the galaxies in which they live. The authors derive the XMM-Newton number counts distribution and compare it with their previously reported Chandra log N - log S relations and other X-ray surveys. Throughout this study, the authors adopt a cosmology of H&lt;sub&gt;0&lt;/sub&gt; = 70 km s&lt;sup&gt;-1&lt;/sup&gt; Mpc&lt;sup&gt;-1&lt;/sup&gt;, Omega&lt;sub&gt;M&lt;/sub&gt; = 0.27, and Lambda = 0.73. The XMM-Newton and Chandra X-ray sources were matched with sources in the SDSS, WISE, UKIDSS, VHS, GALEX, FIRST and Herschel databases using the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) method, as discussed in detail in Section 4 of the reference paper. This table contains the list of 5,220 sources detected in the SDSS Stripe 82 in archival, AO10 and AO13 XMM-Newton observations. A related table SDSSS82CXO contains the list of 1,146 Chandra sources detected in the SDSS Stripe 82. Compared to the initial version of this catalog based on the 2013 paper, in the current version of the catalog the MLE matching between the XMM-Newton archival and AO10 source lists and ancillary catalogs was updated to include a 1 arcsecond systematic error added in quadrature to the emldetect reported positional error. This table was initially created by the HEASARC in April 2014 based on the machine-readable version of the table (&#39;Properties of SDSS Quasars Detected by XMM-Newton&#39;) described in Appendix B2 of the reference paper (LaMassa et al. 2013, MNRAS, 436, 3581) which was obtained from the CDS (catalog J/MNRAS/436/3581/, file xmms82.dat). The present version was created by the HEASARC in January 2017 based on &lt;a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/ApJ/817/172"&gt;CDS catalog J/ApJ/817/172&lt;/a&gt;, files xmmao10.dat and xmmao13.dat.
