Spectral Statistics and Luminosity Function of a Hard X-ray Complete Sample of Brightest AGNs
K. Shinozaki, T. Miyaji, Y. Ishisaki +4
We investigated the statistics of the X-ray spectral properties of a complete flux-limited sample of bright AGNs from HEAO-1 all-sky catalogs to provide the bright end constraint o…
X-ray measurement of the elemental abundances at the outskirts of the Perseus cluster with Suzaku
S. Ueda, K. Hayashida, H. Nakajima +1
We report on the abundance of metals (Mg and Fe) in the intracluster medium (ICM) at the outskirts (0.2 r200 - 0.8 r200) of the Perseus cluster. The X-ray spectra were obtained in…
X-ray polarimetry of X-ray pulsar X Persei: another orthogonal rotator?
A. A. Mushtukov, S. S. Tsygankov, J. Poutanen +103
X Persei is a persistent low-luminosity X-ray pulsar of period of 835 s in a Be binary system. The field strength at the neutron star surface is not known precisely, but indi…
The variable OVIII Warm Absorber in MCG-6-30-15
C. Otani, T. Kii, C. S. Reynolds +8
We present the results of a 4 day ASCA observation of the Seyfert galaxy MCG-6-30-15, focussing on the nature of the X-ray absorption by the warm absorber, characterizd by the K-ed…
IXPE observation confirms a high spin in the accreting black hole 4U 1957+115
L. Marra, M. Brigitte, N. Rodriguez Cavero +113
We present the results of the first X-ray polarimetric observation of the low-mass X-ray binary 4U 1957+115, performed with the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer in May 2023. The…
X-ray polarimetry and spectroscopy of the neutron star low-mass X-ray binary GX 9+9: an in-depth study with IXPE and NuSTAR
F. Ursini, R. Farinelli, A. Gnarini +101
We report on a comprehensive analysis of simultaneous X-ray polarimetric and spectral data of the bright atoll source GX 9+9 with the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) and…
