G. Cassam-Chenai, A. Decourchelle, J. Ballet +2
We present the first results of the observations of the supernova remnant RX J1713.7-3946 (also G347.3-0.5) obtained with the EPIC instrument on board the XMM-Newton satellite. We…
A new population of X-ray transients in the Galactic Centre
Masaaki Sakano, Robert S. Warwick, Anne Decourchelle +1
A comparison of the XMM-Newton and Chandra Galactic Centre (GC) Surveys has revealed two faint X-ray transients with contrasting properties. The X-ray spectrum of XMM J174544-2913.…
The XMM-Newton view of the Galactic Centre
Masaaki Sakano, Robert S. Warwick, Anne Decourchelle
In X-rays, the Galactic Centre (GC) Region appears as a complex of diffuse thermal and non-thermal X-ray emission intermixed with a population of luminous discrete sources. Here we…
First XMM-Newton results on the Pulsar Wind Nebula in the composite supernova remnant G0.9+0.1
D. Porquet, A. Decourchelle, R. S. Warwick
We report the results of the XMM-Newton observation of the Pulsar Wind Nebula (PWN) in the composite supernova remnant G0.9+0.1 located in the Galactic Center region. Thanks to the…
