The Imaging Programme

of the XMM-Newton Survey Science Center


The XMMSSC Imaging Programme
has been obtaining optical/infrared photometry and colours for the X-ray sources detected in the XMM-Newton Serendipitous Survey for a large number of XMM fields. Its aims are to
  • Photometric identification of >10,000 XMM sources
  • Obtain optical counterparts for spectrospcopic identification
  • Provide the data for public use
IoA Cambridge is the main institute responsible for the imaging programme within the XMMSSC XID project.
