A systematic cross-search for radio/infrared counterparts of XMM- Newton sources

Combi, J. A.; Luque-Escamilla, P. L.; Romero, G. E. +7 more

We present a catalog of cross-correlated radio, infrared and X-ray sources using a very restrictive selection criteria with an IDL-based code developed by us. The significance of the observed coincidences was evaluated through Monte Carlo simulations of synthetic sources following a well-tested protocol. We found 3320 coincident radio/X-ray source…

10 Years of the optical & UV monitor (OM) on-board XMM-Newton

Talavera, Antonio; OMCal Team

The XMM-Newton X-ray observatory was launched at the end of 1999 and it is still successfully operated. In addition to the X-ray instruments, the payload carries a small telescope, the Optical Monitor, which provides simultaneous imaging and spectroscopic observations in the optical and UV ranges. In this report we review the status of the OM and …
