Searching for X-ray sources in nearby late-type galaxies with low star formation rates

K. Chatterjee, P. Kaaret, M. Brorby +4

Late type non-starburst galaxies have been shown to contain X-ray emitting objects, some being ultraluminous X-ray sources. We report on XMM-Newton observations of 11 nearby, late-…

Quantum electrodynamical corrections to a magnetic dipole in general relativity

J. Pétri

Magnetized neutron stars are privileged places where strong electromagnetic fields as high as $\BQ=4.4\times10^9$~T exist, giving rise to non-linear corrections to Maxwell equation…

Chandra counterparts of CANDELS GOODS-S sources

N. Cappelluti, A. Comastri, A. Fontana +18

Improving the capabilities of detecting faint X-ray sources is fundamental to increase the statistics on faint high-z AGN and star-forming galaxies. We performed a simultaneous Max…

General-relativistic force-free pulsar magnetospheres

J. Petri

Pulsar magnetospheres are shaped by ultra-relativistic electron/positron plasmas flowing in a strong magnetic field and subject to strong gravitational fields. The former induces m…

Accretion disc atmospheres and winds in low-mass X-ray binaries

M. Díaz Trigo, L. Boirin

In the last decade, X-ray spectroscopy has enabled a wealth of discoveries of photoionised absorbers in X-ray binaries. Studies of such accretion disc atmospheres and winds are of…

Thermal synchrotron radiation from RRMHD simulations of the double tearing mode reconnection - Application to the Crab flares

Makoto Takamoto, J. Pétri, H. Baty

We study the magneto-hydrodynamic tearing instability occurring in a double current sheet configuration when a guide field is present. This is investigated by means of resistive re…

New XMM-Newton observation of the thermally emitting isolated neutron star 2XMM J104608.7-594306

Adriana M. Pires, Christian Motch, Roberto Turolla +3

The isolated neutron star (INS) 2XMM J104608.7-594306 is one of the only two to be discovered through their thermal emission since the ROSAT era. In a first dedicated XMM-Newton ob…

Optical and X-ray early follow-up of ANTARES neutrino alerts

S. Adrian-Martinez, M. Ageron, A. Albert +137

High-energy neutrinos could be produced in the interaction of charged cosmic rays with matter or radiation surrounding astrophysical sources. Even with the recent detection of extr…

Infrared identification of hard X-ray sources in the Galaxy

A. Nebot Gómez-Morán, C. Motch, F. -X. Pineau +3

The nature of the low- to intermediate-luminosity (Lx erg s) source population revealed in hard band (2-10 keV) X-ray surveys of the Galactic Plane is poo…

A Luminous X-ray Flare From The Nucleus of The Dormant Bulgeless Spiral Galaxy NGC 247

Hua Feng, Luis C. Ho, Philip Kaaret +4

NGC 247 is a nearby late-type bulgeless spiral galaxy that contains an inactive nucleus. We report a serendipitous discovery of an X-ray flare from the galaxy center with a luminos…

A 3+1 formalism for quantum electrodynamical corrections to Maxwell equations in general relativity

J. Pétri

Magnetized neutron stars constitute a special class of compact objects harbouring gravitational fields that deviate strongly from the Newtonian weak field limit. Moreover strong el…

The XMM-Newton serendipitous survey. VII. The third XMM-Newton serendipitous source catalogue

S. R. Rosen, N. A. Webb, M. G. Watson +37

Thanks to the large collecting area (3 x ~1500 cm at 1.5 keV) and wide field of view (30' across in full field mode) of the X-ray cameras on board the European Space Agency X-r…

Multipolar electromagnetic fields around neutron stars: exact vacuum solutions and related properties

Jerome Petri

The magnetic field topology in the surrounding of neutron stars is one of the key questions in pulsar magnetospheric physics. A very extensive literature exists about the assumptio…

Modeling optical and UV polarization of AGNs III. From uniform-density to clumpy regions

F. Marin, R. W. Goosmann, C. M. Gaskell

A growing body of evidence suggests that part of, if not all, scattering regions of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) are clumpy. Hence. in this paper, we run radiative transfer models…

Very high energy emission as a probe of relativistic magnetic reconnection in pulsar winds

Iwona Mochol, Jerome Petri

The population of gamma-ray pulsars, including Crab observed in the TeV range, and Vela detected above 50 GeV, challenges existing models of pulsed high-energy emission. Such model…
