XMM-Newton point-source catalogue of the SMC

DOI

The XMM-Newton survey of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) yields a complete coverage of the bar and eastern wing in the 0.2-12.0keV band. This catalogue comprises 3053 unique X-ray point sources and sources with moderate extent that have been reduced from 5236 individual detections found in observations between April 2000 and April 2010. Sources have a median position uncertainty of 1.3" (1{sigma}) and limiting fluxes down to ~110^-14^erg/s/cm2 in the 0.2-4.5keV band, corresponding to 510^33^erg/s for sources in the SMC. Sources have been classified using hardness ratios, X-ray variability, and their multi-wavelength properties. In addition to the main-field (5.58deg^2^) available outer fields have been included in the catalogue, yielding a total field area of 6.32deg^2^. X-ray sources with high extent (>40", e.g. supernova remnants and galaxy cluster) have been presented by Haberl et al. (2012, Cat. J/A+A/545/A128)
