Detection of the high z GRB 080913 and its implications on progenitors and energy extraction mechanisms

D. Perez-Ramirez, A. de Ugarte Postigo, J. Gorosabel +15

Aims: We present multiwavelength observations of one of the most distant gamma-ray bursts detected so far, GRB 080913. Based on these observations, we consider whether it could be…

High precision X-ray logN-logS distributions: implications for the obscured AGN population

S. Mateos, R. S. Warwick, F. J. Carrera +13

We have constrained the extragalactic source count distributions over a broad range of X-ray fluxes and in various energy bands to test whether the predictions from X-ray backgroun…

The XMM-Newton Serendipitous Survey. V. The Second XMM-Newton Serendipitous Source Catalogue

M. G. Watson, A. C. Schröder, D. Fyfe +47

Aims: Pointed observations with XMM-Newton provide the basis for creating catalogues of X-ray sources detected serendipitously in each field. This paper describes the creation and…

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…

The XMM-Newton Serendipitous Survey V. Optical identification of the XMM-Newton Medium sensitivity Survey (XMS)

X. Barcons, F. J. Carrera, M. T. Ceballos +53

We present the XMM-Newton Medium sensitivity Survey (XMS), including a total of 318 X-ray sources found among the serendipitous content of 25 XMM-Newton target fields. The XMS comp…

An XMM-Newton view of M101 - III. Diffuse X-ray emission

R. S. Warwick, L. P. Jenkins, A. M. Read +2

We present a study of the X-ray properties of the nearby face-on Scd spiral galaxy M101 based on recent XMM-Newton observations. In this third and final paper in the present series…
