Aims. Pointed observations with XMM-Newton provide the basis for creating catalogues of X-ray sources detected serendipitously in each field. This paper describes creation and characteristics 2XMM catalogue.
Thanks to the large collecting area (3 x ~1500 cm$^2$ at 1.5 keV) and wide field of view (30' across in full mode) X-ray cameras on board European Space Agency observatory XMM-Newton, each individual pointing can result detection hundreds sources, most which are newly discovered. Recently, many improvements XMM-Newton data reduction algorithms have been made. These include enhanced source characterisation reduced spurious detections, refined astrometric precision, greater net sensitivity...
