Absorption lines from magnetically-driven winds in X-ray binaries

S. Chakravorty, P-O. Petrucci, J. Ferreira +8

High resolution X-ray spectra of black hole X-ray binaries (BHBs) show blueshifted absorption lines from disk winds which seem to be equatorial. Winds occur in the Softer (disk-dom…

A model for the polarization of the high-energy radiation from accreting black holes: the case of XTE J1118+480

Florencia L. Vieyro, Gustavo E. Romero, Sylvain Chaty

The high-energy emission ( keV MeV) of Cygnus X-1 --the most well-studied Galactic black hole-- was recently found to be strongly polarized. The origin of this radiation…

H2 distribution during formation of multiphase molecular clouds

Valeska Valdivia, Patrick Hennebelle, Maryvonne Gérin +1

H2 is the simplest and the most abundant molecule in the ISM, and its formation precedes the formation of other molecules. Understanding the dynamical influence of the environment…

The XXL Survey X: K-band luminosity - weak-lensing mass relation for groups and clusters of galaxies

F. Ziparo, G. P. Smith, S. L. Mulroy +15

We present the K-band luminosity-halo mass relation, , for a subsample of 20 of the 100 brightest clusters in the XXL Survey observed with WIRCam at the Canad…

The XXL survey XIV. AAOmega redshifts for the southern XXL field

C. Lidman, F. Ardila, M. Owers +15

We present a catalogue containing the redshifts of 3,660 X-ray selected targets in the XXL southern field. The redshifts were obtained with the AAOmega spectrograph and 2dF fibre p…

Origin of the Metallicity Distribution in the Thick Disc

Maider S. Miranda, Kate Pilkington, Brad K. Gibson +9

Aims. Using a suite of cosmological chemodynamical disc galaxy simulations, we assess how (a) radial metallicity gradients evolve with scaleheight; (b) the vertical metallicity gra…
