Comparing the XMMNewton Deep Survey, ROSAT and Chandra catalogues XMM-Newton Deep Survey • 1951 sources • 43 Supersoft sources 20. May. 2009 Holger Stiele 11
ROSAT PSPC Survey • PSPC survey covering the entire galaxy twice 560 X-ray sources Supper et al. 1997, 2001 • Supersoft sources selected from Greiner 2000 and Kahabka 1999: – Similar selection criterion (as used for XMM-Newton) – Two hardness ratios (based on standard ROSAT energy bands) – band separation energies at ~ 0. 5 ke. V, and ~ 1 ke. V – ROSAT observations taken about > 10 yr earlier than XMM-Newton observations ( investigation of long term variability) 20. May. 2009 Holger Stiele 12
Chandra Observations • Observation of selected fields, especially central region • Kong et al. 2002, Kaaret 2002, Di Stefano et al. 2004, Williams et al. 2004, 2006, Voss & Gilfanov 2007 Very soft sources Di Stefano et al. 2004 – Three energy bands: S: 0. 1 -1. 1 ke. V; M: 1. 1 -2 ke. V; H: 2 -7 ke. V Several criteria to select SSSs and QSSs – Important difference: Only one band below ~1 ke. V Contamination of SSS class with foreground stars, SNRs and soft AGNs – Temporal distance to XMMNewton observations: centre and Field 2: < 1 yr Fields 1+3: > ~ 4 yr Image: Di Stefano et al. 2004 20.

Two step process: Method First step: Were the XMM-Newton SSSs detected in previous surveys? Full ROSAT PSPC XMM – Newton SSS Full Chandra Second step: How many ROSAT/Chandra SSSs are detected with XMM-Newton? ROSAT SSS Full XMM Deep Survey Chandra VSS 20. May. 2009 Holger Stiele 14
XMM-Newton SSS to ROSAT PSPC Surveys • 43 XMM-Newton SSS, 12 brighter than ROSAT detection threshold (~5. 3 10 -15 erg cm-2 s-1): – 2 also found as ROSAT SSSs – 10 not detected with ROSAT: 6 recent novae, 1 transient, 1 variable 2 must be transient/highly variable • 31 XMM-Newton SSS with fluxes below ROSAT detection threshold: – 1 also found as ROSAT SSSs (~factor 22 -25 brighter in ROSAT observations) – 3 chance coincidences – 27 remaining sources: 7 recent novae, 1 transient (Di Stefano et al. 2004) 20. May. 2009 Holger Stiele 15
XMM-Newton SSS to Chandra Surveys • 9 XMM-Newton SSSs have Chandra counterparts: – 6 are also classified as SSSs from Chandra – 8 of the 9 sources are located in the centre of M 31 • 34 sources do not have Chandra counterparts: – 7 are in regions not covered with Chandra – 10 are novae (4 after 2005, 6 no Chandra detections (see Pietsch et al. 2005, 2007 and M 31 N 1999 -10 c, M 31 N 2001 -11 a)) – 1 variable 20. May. 2009 Holger Stiele 16
ROSAT SSSs to XMM-Newton Deep Survey • 34 ROSAT SSS, 4 not in observed XMM-Newton field • 14 correlations with XMM-Newton sources • 3 SSS confirmed with XMM-Newton 5 Fg Star cand 1 Fg Star 1 SNR 1 Galaxy 2
Chandra VSSs to XMMNewton Deep Survey • 20 Chandra SSSs – 15 correlations with XMM-Newton sources: 5 Confirmed SSSs 2 Fg Star cand. 3 Confirmed fg Stars 1 SNR cand. 2 Confirmed SNRs 2 XRB cnad. – 5 not detected with XMM-Newton (4 transients (Di Stefano et al. 2004, 2 of them novae), 1 faint) 20. May. 2009 Holger Stiele 18
Chandra VSSs to XMMNewton Deep Survey • 23 Chandra QSSs – 12 correlations with XMM-Newton sources: 3 Confirmed fg Stars 3 Fg Star cand. 1 Fg Star 1 Bg Gal cand. 2
What do we learn? • 3 sources detected in all 3 missions visible for more than a decade: – Two are located in the central field: • XMMM 31 J 004318. 8+412017 = r 3 -8 = [SHL 2001] 235: foreground polar? (Williams et al. 2006) • XMMM 31 J 004252. 5+411540 = r 2 -12 = [SHL 2001] 203 = [PFJ 93] 58 = [TF 91] 69: 217 s period (Trudolyubov et al. 2008) – XMMM 31 J 003840. 5+401956 = s 2 -26 = [SHL 2001] 27: r 3 -8 r 2 -12 s 2 -26 20. May. 2009 ROSAT: ~22 -25 brighter XMM: June 2006 – Jan. 2008 in 3 Chandra observations (2000 -2001) only once visible variable (Di Stefano et al. 2004) Holger Stiele ROSAT Chandra XMMNewton 20
What do we learn? (II) • Of 12 XMM-Newton sources with brightness above ROSAT threshold, only 2 observed by ROSAT underlines variability of the source class on long time scales (~83% variable, cf. Greiner et al. 2004) • ROSAT as well as Chandra SSSs contain sources of other classes 20. May. 2009 Holger Stiele 21
What do we learn? (III) • Two interesting sources: – XMMM 31 J 004307. 1+411810 = r 3 -115: Chandra and XMM-Newton observations between 2000 -end 2001: SSS XMM-Newton observation Jan. 2002: hard spectrum (Pietsch et al. 2005) – XMMM 31 J 004247. 9+411549 = r 1 -25: Chandra r 3 -115 r 1 -25 observations between 2000 -end 2001: SSS XMM-Newton observation July 2004: hard spectrum optical counterpart within 1. 2” (‘regular or semi-regular red variable’ Fliri et al. 2006) Nature unclear: X-ray transient (BH primary) or symbiotic 20.

Correlation with ROSAT PSPC surveys and Chandra catalogues 4. 3 persistent SSSs 5. SSSs are a highly variable source class 6. Many ROSAT and Chandra SSSs get other classes from XMM-Newton observations 7. Two sources that show supersoft-hard transition between Chandra and XMM-Newton observations 20.
