X-ray Fluxes

In this version of the catalog, X-ray fluxes are taken from major catalogs whenever available.

Hard X-ray Fluxes

I took the hard X-ray (14-195 keV) fluxes listed in the Swift BAT 157 month survey catalog. This is the latest update by the BAT team, continuing from the 22 month survey (Tueller et al. ), the 70 month survey (Baumgartner et al.), and the 105 month survey (Oh et al.).

X-ray Fluxes from the XMM-Newton Serendipitous Survey

For the traditional (<10 keV) X-ray band, I first search for the object in the Fourth XMM-Newton Serendipitous Source Catalog (4XMM-DR11; see Webb et al. 2020) and list the band 8 (0.2-12 keV) flux from combined EPIC data. In a few cases, I used the stacked version of the catalog (Traulsen et al.).

As a back-up option (after 4XMM-DR11 and 2SXPS) is the XMM Slew Survey catalog (Saxton et al. 2008). In this case, the flux is also for the total band (0.2-12 keV) of EPIC instruments.

X-ray Fluxes from the Swift X-ray Telescope Point Source Catalog

When an object is not listed in the XMM-Newton Serendipitous Survey catalog, I then consulted the Swift XRT point source catalog (2SXPS; see Evans et al.). This catalog reports 0.3-10 keV fluxes based on power-law and thermal plasma model fits; for most IPs, the former usually provides a better phenomenological fit (presumably because of the complex absorber usually present in the X-ray spectra of IPs), so that value is adopted for the purpose of the IP catalog.

However, if I know that the Swift observations were taken mostly during nova eruptions or dwarf nova outbursts, then I do not use the 2SXPS fluxes, since the intent is to list a typical X-ray flux during normal accretion-powered phase of each IP or candidate.
