Abstract

The XXL survey has mapped two extragalactic regions of 25 square degrees, using 10 ks XMM observations down to a point source sensitivity of ~ 5 × 10^-15 erg s^-1 cm^-2 in the 0.5-2 keV band. It is the largest XMM project approved to date (> 6 Ms in total). The two fields have been or will be observed by several ground- and space-based facilities from ultra-violet to radio wavelengths. Besides the imaging, the spectroscopic follow-up is of special interest and ESO has contributed through Large Programmes and dedicated allocations. As of December 2015, ~ 450 new galaxy clusters are detected to z ~ 1.5-2, as well as more than 22 000 active galactic nuclei (AGN) to z ~ 4. The main goal of the project is to constrain the dark energy equation of state using clusters of galaxies. This survey will have lasting legacy value for cluster scaling laws and studies of AGNs and the X-ray background. The first XXL scientific results are summarised.
