Three-dimensional modeling of the asymmetric blast wave from the 2006 outburst of RS Ophiuchi: Early X-ray emission

S. Orlando, J. J. Drake, J. M. Laming

Chandra/HETG observations of the recurrent nova RS Ophiuchi at day 13.9 of its 2006 outburst reveal a spectrum covering a large range in plasma temperature and characterized by asy…

Aspect angle for interstellar magnetic field in SN 1006

O. Petruk, G. Dubner, G. Castelletti +6

A number of important processes taking place around strong shocks in supernova remnants (SNRs) depend on the shock obliquity. The measured synchrotron flux is a function of the asp…

Optical spectroscopy of X-ray sources in the Taurus molecular cloud: discovery of ten new pre-main sequence stars

L. Scelsi, G. Sacco, L. Affer +4

We have analyzed optical spectra of 25 X-ray sources identified as potential new members of the Taurus molecular cloud (TMC), in order to confirm their membership in this SFR. Fift…

FLAMES spectroscopy of low-mass stars in the young clusters sigma Ori and lambda Ori

G. G. Sacco, E. Franciosini, S. Randich +1

Aims. We performed a detailed membership selection and studied the accretion properties of low-mass stars in the two apparently very similar young (1-10 Myr) clusters sigma Ori and…

The importance of magnetic-field-oriented thermal conduction in the interaction of SNR shocks with interstellar clouds

S. Orlando, F. Bocchino, F. Reale +2

We explore the importance of magnetic-field-oriented thermal conduction in the interaction of supernova remnant (SNR) shocks with radiative gas clouds and in determining the mass a…

Physical and chemical inhomogeneities inside the Vela SNR shell. Indications of ejecta shrapnels

M. Miceli, F. Bocchino, F. Reale

We present the results of the combined analysis of three XMM-Newton EPIC observations of the northern rim of the Vela SNR. The three pointings cover an area of ~10 pc^2 (at 250 pc)…
