Оптическое отождествление рентгеновских источников СРГ/еРОЗИТА на примере глубокого обзора области Дыры Локмана
We present a method for the optical identification of sources detected in wide-field X-ray sky surveys. We have constructed and trained a neural network model to characterise the photometric attributes of the populations of optical counterparts of X-ray sources and optical field objects. The photometric information processing result is used for the probabilistic cross-match of X-ray sources with optical DESI Legacy Imaging Surveys sources. The efficiency of the method is illustrated using the SRG/eROSITA Survey of Lockman Hole. To estimate the accuracy of the method, we have produced a validation sample based on the Chandra and XMM-Newton catalogues of X-ray sources. The cross-match precision in our method reaches 94% for the entire X-ray catalogue and 97% for sources with a flux Fx,0.5−2>10−14 erg/s/cm^2. We discuss the further development of the optical identification model and the steps needed for its application to the SRG/eROSITA all-sky survey data.
