X-ray observations of Stripe 82

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

We have analysed the XMM-Newton and Chandra data overlapping ~16.5deg^2^ of Sloan Digital Sky Survey Stripe 82, including ~4.6deg^2^ of proprietary XMM-Newton data that we present here.

Description

In total, 3362 unique X-ray sources are detected at high significance. We derive the XMM-Newton number counts and compare them with our previously reported Chandra logN-logS relations and other X-ray surveys.

The Stripe 82 X-ray source lists have been matched to multiwavelength catalogues using a maximum likelihood estimator algorithm. We discovered the highest redshift (z=5.86) quasar yet identified in an X-ray survey. We find 2.5 times more high-luminosity (L_X_>10^45erg/s) AGN than the smaller area Chandra and XMM-Newton survey of COSMOS and 1.3 times as many identified by XBootes.

Comparing the high-luminosity active galactic nuclei (AGN) we have identified with those predicted by population synthesis models, our results suggest that this AGN population is a more important component of cosmic black hole growth than previously appreciated. Approximately a third of the X-ray sources not detected in the optical are identified in the infrared, making them candidates for the elusive population of obscured high-luminosity AGN in the early universe.
