Details on Acronym: 4XMM | |
| 4XMM | (4th catalogue of serendipitous X-ray sources found with XMM-Newton) |
| Write: | <<4XMM JHHMMSS.s+DDMMSS>> |
| N: | about 800000 |
| Object: | Any (SIMBAD class: X = X-ray Source) |
| Note: | The XMM-Newton Survey Science Centre generates catalogs of serendipitous X-ray sources detected in archival X-ray observations of XMM-Newton. Re-processing of all observations will form the basis of 4XMM. It is a logical continuation of 1XMM, 2XMM, and 3XMM, all based on full reprocessing of all observations with most up-to-date software and calibration. In the same spirit we would like to register 4XMMs for the stacked version of sources (similar to 3XMMs, that was registered 22 October 2018). |
| Notes: | The public release is foreseen for the 20th anniversary of the launch of XMM-Newton. |
