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…
A new look at the X-ray properties of the Galaxy
R. S. Warwick
Observational programmes currently underway with both Chandra and XMM-Newton are set to revolutionize our view of our own Galaxy. This is fortunate since the X-ray band can provide…
The Galactic Plane Observed by XMM-Newton
A. Hands, R. Warwick, M. Watson +1
In A0-1 we proposed an ambitious long-term survey of selected regions of our Galaxy (the XGPS survey) using the EPIC CCD cameras on XMM-Newton. The first phase of the programme, wh…
The nature of ultraluminous X-ray sources in nearby galaxies
T. P. Roberts, M. R. Goad, M. J. Ward +2
The advanced capabilities of the Chandra and XMM-Newton observatories mean that, for the first time, the detailed study of the brightest point-like X-ray sources in nearby galaxies…
