The Puzzles of RX J1856.5-3754: Neutron Star or Quark Star?

J. E. Truemper, V. Burwitz, F. Haberl +1

We discuss recent Chandra and XMM-Newton observations of the bright isolated neutron star RX J1856.5-3754 and suggest that the absence of any line features is due to effects of a h…

A Catalog of Compact Groups of Galaxies in the SDSS Commissioning Data

B. C. Lee, S. S. Allam, D. L. Tucker +20

Compact groups (CGs) of galaxies -- relatively poor groups of galaxies in which the typical separations between members is of the order of a galaxy diameter -- offer an exceptional…

XMM-Newton observations of Sagittarius A East

Masaaki Sakano, Robert S. Warwick, Anne Decourchelle +1

We present an analysis of a recent XMM-Newton observation of Sgr A East, a supernova remnant located close to the Galactic Centre. Very high quality X-ray spectra reveal many emiss…

Structural and scaling properties of galaxy clusters: probing the physics of structure formation

M. Arnaud, G. W. Pratt, E. Pointecouteau

We present XMM-Newton studies of the total mass, gas density, temperature and entropy profiles in nearby hot and cool clusters, together with follow-up observations of distant clus…

The rotational broadening and the mass of the donor star of GRS 1915+105

E. T. Harlaftis, J. Greiner

The binary parameters of the microquasar GRS 1915+105 have been determined by the detection of Doppler-shifted 12CO and 13CO lines in its K-band spectrum (Greiner et al., 2001, Nat…

The MUNICS Project: Galaxy Assembly at 0 < z < 1

N. Drory, R. Bender, G. Feulner +4

We summarize the results obtained from the MUNICS K-band selected Galaxy survey thus far. MUNICS is a wide-area, medium-deep, photometric and spectroscopic survey selected in the K…
