XMM-Newton survey in the Marano Field. I.

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

We report on a medium deep XMM-Newton survey of the Marano Field and optical follow-up observations.

Description

The mosaicked XMM-Newton pointings in this optical quasar survey field cover 0.6 deg2 with a total of 120ks good observation time. We detected 328 X-ray sources in total.

The turnover flux of our sample is f_X_~5x10^-15^erg/cm2/s in the 0.2-10keV band. With VLT FORS1 and FORS2 spectroscopy we classified 96 new X-ray counterparts. The central 0.28deg^2^, where detailed optical follow-up observations were performed, contain 170 X-ray sources (detection likelihood ML>10), out of which 48 had already been detected by ROSAT.

In this region we recover 23 out of 29 optically selected quasars. With a total of 110 classifications in our core sample we reach a completeness of ~65%. About one-third of the XMM-Newton sources are classified as type II AGN with redshifts mostly below 1.0.

Furthermore, we detect five high redshift type II AGN (2.2<=z<=2.8).
