Stratified Magnetically-Driven Accretion-Disk Winds and Their Relations to Jets
Keigo Fukumura, Francesco Tombesi, Demosthenes Kazanas +3
We explore the poloidal structure of two-dimensional (2D) MHD winds in relation to their potential association with the X-ray warm absorbers (WAs) and the highly-ionized ultra-fast…
Obscuration effects in Super-Soft-Source X-ray spectra
J. -U. Ness, J. P. Osborne, M. Henze +11
Super-Soft-Source (SSS) X-ray spectra are blackbody-like spectra with effective temperatures ~3-7x10^5 K and luminosities of 10^{35-38} erg/s. SSS grating spectra display atmospher…
First experimental results of very high accuracy centroiding measurements for the neat astrometric mission
A. Crouzier, F. Malbet, O. Preis +19
NEAT is an astrometric mission proposed to ESA with the objectives of detecting Earth-like exoplanets in the habitable zone of nearby solar-type stars. NEAT requires the capability…
X-ray Absorption of High Redshift Quasars
Assaf Eitan, Ehud Behar
Soft X-ray photoelectric absorption of high-z quasars has been known for two decades, but has no unambiguous astro-physical context. We construct the largest sample to date of 58 h…
The Hot and Energetic Universe: A White Paper presenting the science theme motivating the Athena+ mission
Kirpal Nandra, Didier Barret, Xavier Barcons +237
This White Paper, submitted to the recent ESA call for science themes to define its future large missions, advocates the need for a transformational leap in our understanding of tw…
Thomson Scattering and Collisional Ionization in the X-rays Grating Spectra of the Recurrent Nova U Scorpii
M. Orio, E. Behar, J. Gallagher +3
We present a Chandra observation of the recurrent nova U Scorpii, done with the HRC-S detector and the LETG grating on day 18 after the observed visual maximum of 2010, and compare…
