We propose to reobserve with XMMEPIC the COSMOS fields 20 and 23, for 32 kseach, in order to improve the homogeneity of the XMMCOSMOS survey. We willtherefore improve the measurement of the Xray source angular correlationfunction on scales up to several tens of arcminutes and its energy dependence(soft vs. hard). It will also be possible to detect low mass structures notdetectable through weak lensing and to improve of characterization of themassive structure in the southern region of the field. truncated!, Please see actual data for full text [truncated!, Please see actual data for full text]
This table contains the XMM-Newton EPIC COSMOS X-ray point-like source catalog (XMM-COSMOS). The COSMOS survey is a multiwavelength survey aimed to study the evolution of galaxies, AGN and large scale structures. Within this survey, XMM-COSMOS is a powerful tool for detecting AGN and galaxy clusters. The XMM-COSMOS is a deep X-ray survey over the full 2 deg2 of the COSMOS area. It consists of 55 XMM-Newton pointings for a total exposure of ~1.5 Ms with an average vignetting-corrected depth of 40 ks across the field of view and a sky coverage of 2.13 deg2. The analysis was performed using the XMM-SAS data analysis package in the 0.5-2 keV, 2-10 keV and 5-10 keV energy bands. Source detection has been performed using a maximum likelihood technique especially designed for raster scan surveys. The completeness of the catalog as well as log N-log S and source density maps have been calibrated using Monte Carlo simulations. This is the catalogue of point-like X-ray sources detected with the EPIC CCD cameras. The catalogs contains a total of 1887 unique sources detected in at least one band with likelihood parameter det_ml > 10. The survey, which shows unprecedented homogeneity, has a flux limit of ~1.7 x 10-15 erg/cm2/s, ~9.3 x 10-15 erg/cm2/s and ~1.3 x 10-14 erg/cm2/s over 90% of the area (1.92 deg2) in the 0.5-2 keV, 2-10 keV and 5-10 keV energy bands, respectively. This table was created by the HEASARC in April 2009 based on the electronic version of Table 3 from the paper which was obtained from the CDS (their catalog J/A+A/497/635 file catalog.dat). It was last updated in May 2010 to correct the source number for XMMU J100100.7+015947 to be XMMC 129, as indicated by SIMBAD. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .
