The emission regions in X-ray binaries: dipping as a diagnostic
M. J. Church
X-ray dipping in the black hole binary Cygnus X-1, the Galactic jet source GRO J1655-40 and in low mass X-ray binaries is discussed. It is shown that spectral analysis strongly con…
Discovery of a very X-ray luminous galaxy cluster at z=0.89 in the WARPS survey
H. Ebeling, L. R. Jones, B. W. Fairley +3
We report the discovery of the galaxy cluster ClJ1226.9+3332 in the Wide Angle ROSAT Pointed Survey (WARPS). At z=0.888 and L_X=1.1e45 erg/s (0.5-2.0 keV, h_0=0.5) ClJ1226.9+3332 i…
The European Photon Imaging Camera on XMM-Newton: The MOS Cameras
M. J. L. Turner, A. Abbey, M. Arnaud
The EPIC focal plane imaging spectrometers on XMM-Newton use CCDs to record the images and spectra of celestial X-ray sources focused by the three X-ray mirrors. There is one camer…
Can the gamma-ray source 3EG J2033+4118 be produced by the stellar system Cyg OB2 No.5?
P. Benaglia, Gustavo E. Romero, I. R. Stevens +1
We discuss the possibility that the stellar system Cyg OB2 No.5 can be a gamma-ray source in the light of recent EGRET and radio data. This system is formed by an O7 Ia + Ofpe/WN9…
The globular cluster system of the young elliptical NGC 6702
A. Georgakakis, D. A. Forbes, J. P. Brodie
We study the globular cluster (GC) system of the dust-lane elliptical galaxy NGC 6702, using B, V and I-band photometric observations carried out at the Keck telescope. This galaxy…
Future X-ray timing missions
D. Barret, M. van der Klis, G. K. Skinner +2
Thanks to the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE), it is now widely recognized that fast X-ray timing can be used to probe strong gravity fields around collapsed objects and constra…
