The Magellanic system X-ray sources

Andrew J. Gosling, Sean A. Farrell, Natalie A. Webb +1

Using archival X-ray data from the second XMM-Newton serendipitous source catalogue, we present comparative analysis of the overall population of X-ray sources in the Large and Sma…

Dynamical Simulations of NGC 2523 and NGC 4245

P. Treuthardt, H. Salo, R. Buta

We present dynamical simulations of NGC 2523 and NGC 4245, two barred galaxies (types SB(r)b and SB(r)0/a, respectively) with prominent inner rings. Our goal is to estimate the bar…

Modeling pulse profiles of accreting millisecond pulsars

Juri Poutanen

I review the basic observational properties of accreting millisecond pulsars that are important for understanding the physics involved in formation of their pulse profiles. I then…

Exploring a New Population of Compact Objects: X-ray and IR Observations of the Galactic Centre

Reba M. Bandyopadhyay, Andrew J. Gosling, Stephen E. Eikenberry +5

I describe the IR and X-ray observational campaign we have undertaken for the purpose of determining the nature of the faint discrete X-ray source population discovered by Chandra…

On the origin of spectral states in accreting black holes

Juri Poutanen, Indrek Vurm

The origin of dramatically different electron distributions responsible for Comptonization in black hole X-ray binaries (BHBs) in their various states is discussed. We solve the co…

Model-based pattern speed estimates for 38 barred galaxies

P. Rautiainen, H. Salo, E. Laurikainen

We have modelled 38 barred galaxies by using near-IR and optical data from the Ohio State University Bright Spiral Galaxy Survey. We constructed the gravitational potentials of the…
