Abstract:
We present a detailed analysis of the stellar content of the current
version of the XMM-Newton slew survey (XMMSL2).
Since stars emit only a small fraction of their total luminosity in
the X-ray band, the stellar XMMSL2 sources ought to have relatively
bright optical counterparts. Therefore the stellar identifications
were obtained by an automatic crossmatch of the XMMSL2 catalog with
the first Gaia data release (Gaia DR1), 2MASS, and Tycho2 catalogs.
The reliability of this procedure was verified by a comparison with
the individually classified Einstein Observatory medium sensitivity
survey X-ray sources and by a crossmatch with the Chandra Source
Catalog.
We identify 6815 of the 23252 unique XMMSL2 sources to be stellar
sources, while 893 sources are flagged as unreliable. For every
counterpart a matching probability is estimated based upon the
distance between the XMMSL2 source and the counterpart. Given this
matching probability the sample is expected to be reliable to 96.7%
and complete to 96.3%. The sample contains stars of all spectral
types and luminosity classes, and late-type dwarfs have the largest
share. For many stellar sources the fractional contribution of the
X-ray band to the total energy output is found above the saturation
limit of previous studies (LX/Lbol=10-3), because the XMMSL2
sources are more affected by flares owing to their short exposure
times of typically 6s. A comparison with the second ROSAT all-sky
survey (2RXS) source catalog shows that about 25% of the stellar
XMMSL2 sources are previously unknown X-ray sources. The results of
our identification procedure can be accessed via VizieR.
Description:
The stellar content of the current release of the XMM-Newton slew
survey (XMMSL2) is presented, which was obtained by an automatic
crossmatch with the Gaia DR1, 2MASS, and Tycho2 catalogs. Further
informations about the sources were adopted from the BrightStar
catalog and the catalog by Lepine & Gaidos (2011, Cat. J/AJ/142/138)
of bright M dwarfs. The first 98 columns of the presented catalog were
adopted from the XMMSL2 catalog (see IX/53 for details). The catalog
contains a matching probability for all stellar associations.
Additionally basic properties of the stellar sources (e.g. position,
proper motion, parallax, photometry in multiple bands) were adopted
from the optical and IR catalogs and additional properties (e.g.
effective temperature, bolometric flux and luminosity) were derived.
The catalog contains all stellar counterparts with a matching
probability higher than 66%, unreliable counterparts due to their
properties are flagged.
