Abstract

Context.The comparison of observed counts in a given sky direction with predictions by Galactic models yields constraints on the spatial distribution and the stellar birthrate of young stellar populations. The XMM-Newton Bright Serendipitous Survey (XBSS) is an unbiased survey that includes a total of 58 stellar sources selected in the 0.5–4.5 keV energy band, having a limiting sensitivity of 10-2 cnt s-1 and covering an area of 28.10 sq deg.
