Chandra HETG Spectra of SN 1987A at 20 years

D. Dewey, S. A. Zhekov, R. McCray +1

We have undertaken deep, high-resolution observations of SN 1987A at ~20 years after its explosion with the Chandra HETG and LETG spectrometers. Here we present the HETG X-ray spec…

Colliding Stellar Wind Models with Nonequilibrium Ionization: X-rays from WR 147

Svetozar A. Zhekov

The effects of nonequilibrium ionization are explicitly taken into account in a numerical model which describes colliding stellar winds (CSW) in massive binary sytems. This new mod…

X-Rays From Massive OB Stars: Thermal Emission From Radiative Shocks

Svetozar A. Zhekov, Francesco Palla

Chandra gratings spectra of a sample of 15 massive OB stars were analyzed under the basic assumption that the X-ray emission is produced in an ensemble of shocks formed in the wind…

XMM-Newton X-ray Observations of the Wolf-Rayet Binary System WR 147

S. L. Skinner, S. A. Zhekov, M. Guedel +1

We present results of a 20 ksec X-ray observation of the Wolf-Rayet (WR) binary system WR 147 obtained with XMM-Newton. Previous studies have shown that this system consists of a n…

The Chandra X-ray Spectrum of the 10.6 s Pulsar in Westerlund 1: Testing the Magnetar Hypothesis

S. L. Skinner, R. Perna, S. A. Zhekov

Two sensitive Chandra X-ray observations of the heavily-reddened galactic starburst cluster Westerlund 1 in May and June 2005 detected a previously unknown X-ray pulsar (CXO J16471…
