The X-ray source content of the XMM-Newton Galactic Plane Survey

C. Motch, R. Warwick, M. S. Cropper +10

We report the results of an optical campaign carried out by the XMM-Newton Survey Science Centre with the specific goal of identifying the brightest X-ray sources in the XMM-Newton…

Measurement of the atmospheric muon flux with a 4 GeV threshold in the ANTARES neutrino telescope

ANTARES collaboration

A new method for the measurement of the muon flux in the deep-sea ANTARES neutrino telescope and its dependence on the depth is presented. The method is based on the observation of…

Soft gamma-ray constraints on a bright flare from the Galactic Center supermassive black hole

G. Trap, A. Goldwurm, R. Terrier +11

Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*) is the supermassive black hole residing at the center of the Milky Way. It has been the main target of an extensive multiwavelength campaign we carried out…

VLT optical observations of the isolated neutron star RX J0420.0-5022

R. P. Mignani, C. Motch, F. Haberl +3

X-ray observations performed with ROSAT led to the discovery of 7 radio-silent isolated neutron stars (INSs) which are detected only through the relatively dim and purely thermal X…

Bursting behavior of the Galactic Center faint X-ray transient GRS 1741.9-2853

G. Trap, M. Falanga, A. Goldwurm +6

The neutron star low-mass X-ray binary GRS 1741.9-2853 is a known type-I burster of the Galactic Center. It is transient, faint, and located in a very crowded region, only 10 arcmi…

gamma Cassiopeiae: an X-ray Be star with personality

Raimundo Lopes de Oliveira, Myron A. Smith, Christian Motch +1

gamma Cassiopeiae (gCas) is a B0.5e star with peculiar X-ray emission properties and yet the prototype of its own small class. In this paper we examine the X-ray spectra for a 2004…

Proper motions of thermally emitting isolated neutron stars measured with Chandra

C. Motch, A. M. Pires, F. Haberl +2

The remarkable astrometric capabilities of Chandra offer the possibility to measure proper motions of X-ray sources with an unprecedented accuracy in this wavelength range. We rece…
