Description
Our recently developed Space and Time Algorithm for Transients in X-rays (STATiX, Ruiz et al. 2024) builds upon tools from the image and signal processing fields and in particular the Multi-Scale Variance Stabilisation Transform (Starck et al. 2009) to provide a complete detection analysis pipeline optimised for finding transient sources on X-ray imaging observations. STATiX operates on 3-dimensional data cubes with 2-spatial and one temporal dimensions. Here we will present our first results for the systematic application of STATiX to the full XMM-Newton archive. We will show the rich variety of X-ray sources with interesting temporal behaviour (fast X-ray transients, flaring stars, QPEs, etc) and compare with other efforts to detect and characterize transient X-ray sources (eg. ExTRAS, EXODUS, STONK).
