The eFEDS main catalog and supplementary catalog

X-ray sources detected in the 0.2-2.3 keV band using eSASS adopting a detection likelihood threshold of 5. The sources with detection likelihood >6 are selected as the main eFEDS catalog (27910 sources), and the less reliable ones with likelihood <6 are stored in a supplementary catalog (4774 sources).

The eFEDS hard-band selected catalog

Based on sources detection in three bands (1: 0.2-0.6; 2: 0.6-2.3; 3: 2.3-5 keV) using eSASS adopting a detection likelihood threshold of 5, we select the sources with a 2.3-5 keV band detection likelihood >=10 and an extent likelihood =0 as the hard eFEDS catalog (246 sources).

History

Changes between eFEDS X-ray catalogs V7.4 and V7.5

The "main" and "supp" catalogs remain unchanged. The only change is the "Name" column in the "hard" catalog. When "ID_main" exists, we replace the "Name" that was previously created based on the coordinates with the "Name" of the corresponding source in the "main" catalog, in order to avoid one source having two slightly different names in the "main" and the "hard" catalogs.

Changes between eFEDS X-ray catalogs V7.3 and V7.4

Only a new column of "ID_hard" is added in the "main" and "supp" catalogs. This column contains no new information, as it presents the associations between the "main" and the "hard" catalogs, which are already given in the "ID_main" column of the "hard" catalog.

Changes between eFEDS X-ray catalogs V6.2 and V7.3

The source detection is not changed. All the sources remain the same. There are only four minor changes in the catalogs:

This work is based on data from eROSITA, the soft X-ray instrument aboard SRG, a joint Russian-German science mission supported by the Russian Space Agency (Roskosmos), in the interests of the Russian Academy of Sciences represented by its Space Research Institute (IKI), and the Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt (DLR). The SRG spacecraft was built by Lavochkin Association (NPOL) and its subcontractors, and is operated by NPOL with support from the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics (MPE). The development and construction of the eROSITA X-ray instrument was led by MPE, with contributions from the Dr. Karl Remeis Observatory Bamberg & ECAP (FAU Erlangen-Nuernberg), the University of Hamburg Observatory, the Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics Potsdam (AIP), and the Institute for Astronomy and Astrophysics of the University of Tübingen, with the support of DLR and the Max Planck Society. The Argelander Institute for Astronomy of the University of Bonn and the Ludwig Maximilians Universität Munich also participated in the science preparation for eROSITA.

The eROSITA data shown here were processed using the eSASS software system developed by the German eROSITA consortium.
