Abstract:
We present the first results from the XMM-Newton Galactic Plane Survey
(XGPS). In the first phase of the programme, 22 pointings were used to
cover a region of approximately 3 deg2between 19° and 22° in
Galactic longitude and ±0.6° in latitude. In total we have
resolved over 400 point X-ray sources, at ≥5σ significance, down
to a flux limit of ∼2x10-14erg/s/cm2(2-10 keV).

and have not been corrected for the signal loss due to the limited
size of the source cell (see Section 3.2 of the paper).
