2 V.N.Yershov Outline UV telescopes of XMM and Swift Input data Source catalogue processing chains Catalogue features Validation
3 X-ray Multi-Mirror Mirror telescope OM Spacecraft Mission XMM Newton (ESA) Swift (NASA) Start End ~ 2019 (?) ~ 2021 (?) γ γ UV telescope OM UVOT Both observatories have almost identical UV telescopes
4 OM / UVOT is a relatively small 0.3-m Ritchey - Chretien UV telescope Focal length: 3.8 m Field of view: 17 x 17 Detector: photocathode with a MCP photomultiplier Filters: UVW2, UVM2, UVW1, U, B, V
5 Effective areas of the UV filters: OM filters UVOT filters
6 OM observations in the Galactic coordinates
7 UVOT observations in the Galactic coordinates
8 Data used for creating the OM and UVOT catalogues Period of observations Total observations Catalogue SUSS Catalogue UVOTSSC

22 Comparison of the filter UVW1 for UVOT and OM
23 Comparison of the filter UVW2 for UVOT and OM
24 Conclusion notes The UV source catalogues for 10+ years of XMM Newton and 5+ years of Swift observations could be powerful tools, in particular, for: studying extreme physical processes in compact objects; selecting UV sources for additional follow-up; finding and studying variable UV sources; characterising dust clouds in different regions and regimes of star-formation; detecting dust in stellar winds; determining the fraction of young generation stars in galaxies with high SFR; constraining the IMF etc. etc.
