Probing spin correlations using angle resolved photoemission in a coupled metallic/Mott insulator system
V. Sunko, F. Mazzola, S. Kitamura +16
A nearly free electron metal and a Mott insulating state can be thought of as opposite ends of possibilities for the motion of electrons in a solid. In the magnetic oxide metal PdC…
Spin and Relativistic Phenomena Around Black Holes
L. Brenneman, J. M. Miller, K. Nandra +13
Since the seminal work of Penrose (1969) and Blandford & Znajek (1977), it has been realized that black hole spin may be an important energy source in astrophysics. The radio-loud/…
Athena+: The first Deep Universe X-ray Observatory
D. Barret, K. Nandra, X. Barcons +31
The Advanced Telescope for High-energy Astrophysics (Athena+) is being proposed to ESA as the L2 mission (for a launch in 2028) and is specifically designed to answer two of the mo…
The XMM large scale structure survey: optical vs. X-ray classifications of active galactic nuclei and the unified scheme
O. Garcet, P. Gandhi, E. Gosset +25
Our goal is to characterize AGN populations by comparing their X-ray and optical classifications. We present a sample of 99 spectroscopically identified X-ray point sources in the…
The Galactic Plane Observed by XMM-Newton
A. Hands, R. Warwick, M. Watson +1
In A0-1 we proposed an ambitious long-term survey of selected regions of our Galaxy (the XGPS survey) using the EPIC CCD cameras on XMM-Newton. The first phase of the programme, wh…
An accreting pulsar with extreme properties drives an ultraluminous x-ray source in NGC 5907
G. L. Israel, A. Belfiore, L. Stella +20
Ultraluminous x-ray sources (ULXs) in nearby galaxies shine brighter than any X-ray source in our Galaxy. ULXs are usually modeled as stellar-mass black holes (BHs) accreting at ve…
