The 2XMMi-DR3 catalogue is the fifth publicly released XMM X-ray source catalogue produced by the XMM Survey Science Centre (SSC) consortium on behalf of ESA. It follows the 1XMM (Cat. IX/37, released in April 2003), 2XMMp (July 2006), 2XMM (Cat. IX/39, August 2007) and 2XMMi (Cat. IX/40, August 2008) catalogues: 2XMMp was a preliminary version of 2XMM. 2XMMi and 2XMMi-DR3 are incremental versions of the 2XMM catalogue. In summary, the versions are: -------------------------------------------- Name DR# Designation Year Cat. -------------------------------------------- 2XMMp 0 2XMMp-DR0 2006 2XMM 1 2XMM-DR1 2007 IX/39 2XMMi 2 2XMMi-DR2 2008 IX/40 2XMMi-DR3 3 2XMMi-DR3 2010 IX/41 --------------------------------------------
The production and content of the 2XMM catalogue is described in detail in "The XMM-Newton serendipitous survey. V. The second XMM-Newton serendipitous source catalogue", M.G. Watson et al., 2009A&A...493..339W; there are no significant differences in the processing between the 2XMM, 2XMMi and 2XMMi-DR3 observations
The "slim" version of the catalogue (file "xmm2r3s.dat") contains one row per unique source, while the the main catalogue has one row per detection. This slim version includes 38 columns, essentially those containing information about the unique sources, while the full catalogue (file "xmm2r3.fit") describes the 353191 detections with 299 columns. The slim version also contains a column with links to the LEDAS summary pages. In the case of sources with multiple detections the summary page of the best detection is selected (i.e., the detection with the largest exposure time, summed over all cameras), and the summary page gives cross-links to the other detections.
