A deep XMM-Newton serendipitous survey of a middle-latitude area
2005
The radio quiet neutron star 1E1207.4-5209 has been the target of a 260 ks XMM-Newton observation, which yielded, as a by product, an harvest of about 200 serendipitous X-ray sources above a limiting flux of 2E-15 erg/cm2/s, in the 0.3-8 keV energy range. In view of the intermediate latitude of our field (b~10 deg), it comes as no surprise that the logN-logS distribution of our serendipitous sources is different from those measured either in the Galactic Plane or at high galactic latitudes. Here we shall concentrate on the analysis of the brightest sources in our sample, which unveiled a previously unknown Seyfert-2 galaxy.
