SRGz: building an optical cross-match model for the X-ray SRG/eROSITA sources using the Lockman Hole data

Abstract

We present a probabilistic model built for the optical cross-match between the SRG/eROSITA X-ray sources and photometric data from the DESI Legacy Imaging Surveys. The model relies both on positional and photometric information on optical objects nearby X-ray sources and allows performing selection with precision and recall 94\approx94% (for FX,0.52>1014F_{\rm X,0.5-2}>10^{-14} erg/s/cm2^2). With this model, we calibrated positional error of the SRG/eROSITA sources detected in the Lockman Hole: σcorr=0.87σdet2.53+1.122\sigma_{\rm corr} = 0.87\sqrt{ \sigma_{\rm det}^{2.53} + 1.12^2}. The model will become a part of the SRGz system for data analysis of the X-ray data obtained from the all-sky SRG/eROSITA survey.
