Scientific paper

We present results from a project conducted by the Survey Science Center of the XMM-Newton satellite and aiming at the identification and characterisation of serendipitous EPIC sources at low galactic latitudes. Deep multi-colour optical imaging and spectroscopic observations have been obtained in the framework of several observing campaigns carried out at ING, CFHT and ESO. These observations have lead to a number of optical identifications, mostly with active stars. We describe the identified source content at low galactic latitudes and compare stellar populations properties at low and high galactic latitudes with those expected from stellar X-ray count models.
