Marano Field XMM-Newton X-Ray Source Optical Counterparts

This table contains some of the results from a medium deep XMM-Newton survey of the Marano Field and optical follow-up observations. The mosaicked XMM-Newton pointings in this optical quasar survey field cover 0.6 deg² with a total of 120 ks good observation time. 328 X-ray sources were detected in total with detection likelihoods ML >= 5. The X-ray fluxes are in the range f_X = (0.16 - 54) x 10^-14 erg cm^-2 s^-1 (0.2 - 10 keV). The turnover flux of this sample is f_X ~ 5 x 10^-15 erg/cm²/s in this same energy band. With VLT FORS1 and FORS2 spectroscopy 96 new X-ray counterparts have been classified. The central 0.28 deg² region, where detailed optical follow-up observations were performed, contains ~ 170 X-ray sources (detection likelihood ML > 10), out of which 48 had already been detected by ROSAT. In this region 23 out of 29 optically selected quasars have been recovered. With a total of 110 classifications in their core sample, the authors have reached 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, five high redshift type II AGN (2.2 <= z <= 2.8) have been detected. This table contains the list of the 195 optical counterparts for 172 of the XMM-Newton X-ray sources given in Table 8 of the reference paper. It does not contain the full list of 328 X-ray sources given in Table A1 of the reference paper, nor the lists of marginal X-ray sources given in Appendix B of the reference paper. This table was created by the HEASARC in May 2007 based on <a href="https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/ftp/cats/J/A+A/466/41">CDS catalog J/A+A/466/41</a> file table8.dat.
