Notes. Table with the eROSITA names of the sources (Column 1) and X-ray positions based on the stacked eRASS:4 coordinates (Columns 2 and 3). The “Radec_err” values (Column 4) correspond to the combined positional 1σ 68% error derived from the PSF-fitting performed by the eROSITA source detection pipeline. The separation (Column 5) indicates the distance, in arcseconds, between the eROSITA and Gaia DR3 positions. We include the Significance (Column 6) and Factor (Column 7) parameters used in our SMBHB selection described in Sect. 2.2. We also show the detection likelihood (Column 8) from the eRASS:4 catalog, which corresponds to the negative log-likelihood probability that the source counts are produced by background fluctuations. Larger detection likelihoods correspond to more observed counts relative to the background and, therefore, a smaller likelihood that the observed counts were produced by background fluctuations. Finally, we also report the X-ray missions used to monitor the flux evolution of the candidates (Column 9). Five sources have not been observed. However, they will be targeted by NICER during cycle 7. The candidates are ranked according to their factor F values.

Current usage metrics show cumulative count of Article Views (full-text article views including HTML views, PDF and ePub downloads, according to the available data) and Abstracts Views on Vision4Press platform.

Data correspond to usage on the plateform after 2015. The current usage metrics is available 48-96 hours after online publication and is updated daily on week days.
