Descripción
X-ray sources at intermediate fluxes (a few x10-14erg/cm
a sky density of ~100deg-2 are responsible for a significant
fraction of the cosmic X-ray background at various energies below 10keV.
The aim of this paper is to provide an unbiased and quantitative
description of the X-ray source population at these fluxes and in
various X-ray energy bands.
We present the XMM-Newton Medium sensitivity Survey (XMS), including a
total of 318 X-ray sources found among the serendipitous content of 25
XMM-Newton target fields. The XMS comprises four largely overlapping
source samples selected at soft (0.5-2keV), intermediate (0.5-4.5keV),
hard (2-10keV) and ultra-hard (4.5-7.5keV) bands, the first three of
them being flux-limited.
