2XMMp Cool-Star Variability Survey

Poster by J. Pye, A. Schröder, I. Stewart, N. Webb, D. Fyfe

Tycho catalogue: ~2.5 million stars, V < ~13 mag-> in 2XMMp: ~2000 objects

-> with TS: ~500 objects-> with obvious flares: ~40 objects

-> serendipitous sources: ~10 objects

2XMMp Cool-Star Variability Survey: Example I

HD 14716: V = 9.5mag, F5V

5 other XMM observations (total of ~60 ks) show X-ray emission at quiescent level

2XMMp Cool-Star Variability Survey: Example II

2MASS J04072181-1210033: V = 11.7mag, (B-V) ~ 0.5

2 XMM observations 2 days apart

2XMMp Cool-Star Variability Survey: Example III

UY ScI: Chen et al 2006 (ApJ 131, 990): -> W UMa-type binary (P ~ 31ks, d=389 pc)

=> XMM PN exposure duration ~ binary period

2XMMp Cool-Star Variability Survey: Example IV

XMM MOS1

XMM OM UVM2 filter (manual extraction)
