Discovery of periodic dips in the brightest hard X-ray source of M31 with EXTraS

M. Marelli, A. Tiengo, A. De Luca +9

We performed a search for eclipsing and dipping sources in the archive of the EXTraS project - a systematic characterization of the temporal behaviour of XMM-Newton point sources.…

Chandra monitoring of the Galactic Centre magnetar SGR J1745-2900 during the initial 3.5 years of outburst decay

F. Coti Zelati, N. Rea, R. Turolla +15

We report on 3.5 years of Chandra monitoring of the Galactic Centre magnetar SGR J1745-2900 since its outburst onset in April 2013. The magnetar spin-down has shown at least two ep…

A Systematic Analysis of the XMM-Newton Background: I. Dataset and Extraction Procedures

Martino Marelli, David Salvetti, Fabio Gastaldello +6

XMM-Newton is the direct precursor of the future ESA ATHENA mission. A study of its particle-induced background provides therefore significant insight for the ATHENA mission design…
