Welcome to the XMM-Newton Catalogue public pages
One of the primary roles of the XMM-Newton Survey Science Centre (SSC) is to provide, on behalf of the European Space Agency (ESA), regular public releases of the XMM-Newton serendipitous survey source catalogues.
This page provides links to key information about each of the catalogues (and to the catalogues themselves) that the SSC has released to date. The latest of these, 3XMM-DR4, was released on 23 July 2013.

Catalogue nomenclature:
The new 3XMM catalogue continues the naming convention, adopted in 2010 and applied retrospectively, to the 2XMM catalogue/increment series, which includes a "data release" (DR) to distinguish different versions of the catalogue. The following table shows the catalogue releases within the DR series.
| Catalogue name | DR version | Full catalogue designation | Year released |
| 2XMMp | 0 | 2XMMp-DR0 | 2006 |
| 2XMM | 1 | 2XMM-DR1 | 2007 |
| 2XMMi | 2 | 2XMMi-DR2 | 2008 |
| 2XMMi-DR3 | 3 | 2XMMi-DR3 | 2010 |
| 3XMM-DR4 | 4 | 3XMM-DR4 | 2013 |
