Study of X-ray sources through an analysis of the deepest X-ray field observed by XMM-Newton

This work presents preliminary results of the survey carried out on one of the deepest X-ray field observed by the XMM Newton satellite. The survey is made by 13 observations taken over 2 years with a total exposure time of 1.6 Ms over a field of 30 × 30 𝑎𝑟𝑐𝑚𝑖𝑛2 around the blazar 1ES 1553+113, which were originally addressed to the study of the Warm Hot Intergalactic Medium (Nicastro et al. 2018). We detect 472 X-ray sources with high likelihood (> 6). Preliminary properties (e.g. positions, fluxes at different bands, hardness ratios) are obtained. The X-ray source list was cross correlated with the source list obtained by the observation of the Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC) over the same field in u’g’r’i’z’ bands. Thanks to the availability of photometric redshift, we obtain a sublist of AGNs candidates and their X-ray luminosities, their large scale distribution and the luminosity function. Perspective for the study of the X-ray Background (XRB) and of high redshift Quasars and super massive black holes will be included.
