XMM-Newton Optical Monitor Chandra Deep Field-South UV Catalog

The authors reprocessed the XMM-OM data of the survey and stacked the exposures from consecutive observations using the standard SAS tools to process the data obtained during single observations. Average measurements of detections with SAS good quality flags from individual observations and from stacked images have been joined to compile the catalogue. Sources have been validated through the cross-identification within the ESO Imaging Survey (EIS: Arnouts et al. 2001, A&A, 379, 740) and COMBO-17 (Wolf et al. 2004, A&A, 421, 913; 2008, A&A, 492, 933) surveys.

Photometric data of 1129 CDFS sources are provided in the main catalog, and optical/UV/X-ray photometric and spectroscopic information from other surveys are also included. The stacking extends the detection limits by ~1 mag in the three UV bands, contributing 30% of the catalogued UV sources. The comparison with the available measurements in similar spectral bands confirms the validity of the XMM-OM calibration.

The combined COMBO-17/X-ray classification of the "intermediate" sources (e.g. optically diluted and/or X-ray absorbed AGN) is also discussed in the reference paper. This table was created by the HEASARC in June 2015 based on the union of <a href="cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/ApJS/217/4/">CDS Catalog J/ApJS/217/4/</a> files omcdfst7.dat (the 1,129 sources in the main catalog) and omcdfst8.dat (the 44 sources in the supplementary catalog).
