The XMM-Newton serendipitous survey. VII. The third XMM-Newton serendipitous source catalogue
S. R. Rosen, N. A. Webb, M. G. Watson +37
Thanks to the large collecting area (3 x ~1500 cm at 1.5 keV) and wide field of view (30' across in full field mode) of the X-ray cameras on board the European Space Agency X-r…
A New 626 s Periodic X-ray Source in the Direction of the Galactic Center
Sean A. Farrell, Andrew J. Gosling, Natalie A. Webb +4
Here we report the detection of a 626 s periodic modulation from the X-ray source 2XMM J174016.0-290337 located in the direction of the Galactic center. We present temporal and spe…
Bursting behavior of the Galactic Center faint X-ray transient GRS 1741.9-2853
G. Trap, M. Falanga, A. Goldwurm +6
The neutron star low-mass X-ray binary GRS 1741.9-2853 is a known type-I burster of the Galactic Center. It is transient, faint, and located in a very crowded region, only 10 arcmi…
X-ray hiccups from SgrA* observed by XMM-Newton. The second brightest flare and three moderate flares caught in half a day
D. Porquet, N. Grosso, P. Predehl +14
[truncated] In Spring 2007, we observed SgrA* with XMM with a total exposure of ~230ks. We have performed timing and spectral analysis of the new X-ray flares detected during this…
Unusual X-ray transients in the Galactic Centre
Masaaki Sakano, Robert S. Warwick, Anne Decourchelle +1
We report the discovery in the Galactic Centre region of two hard X-ray sources, designated as XMM J174457-2850.3 and XMM J174544-2913.0, which exhibited flux variations in the 2--…
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…
