(X-ray observatory-satellite operated by ESA)

XMM-Newton (or the High Throughput X-ray Spectroscopy Mission or the X-ray Multi-mirror Mission, XMM) is an X-ray space observatory launched by the European Space Agency in 1999 and still active as of 4/2024. Instruments:

Among the surveys carried out are XMM-LSS (for XMM-Newton Large Scale Structure) survey, covering 11 square degrees, the XMM Cluster Survey, and the XMM-Newton serendipitous survey, detections from EPIC camera observations. The latter's latest release (as of 4/2024) is 4XMM-DR13, the "4" indicating it results from the survey's fourth-generation X-ray source detecting process (pipeline).
