An XMM and Chandra view of massive clusters of galaxies to z=1
L. R. Jones, B. J. Maughan, H. Ebeling +7
The X-ray properties of a sample of high redshift (z>0.6), massive clusters observed with XMM-Newton and Chandra are described, including two exceptional systems. One, at z=0.89, h…
Timing with the EPIC pn Camera of XMM-Newton
Markus Kuster, Eckhard Kendziorra, Sara Benlloch +4
The EPIC pn CCD camera on board of XMM-Newton is designed to perform high throughput imaging and spectroscopy as well as high resolution timing observations in the energy range of…
XMM-Newton GT and AO-1 observations of SHARC galaxy clusters : RX J1120.1+4318 and RX J0256.5+0006
Sebastien Majerowicz, Monique Arnaud, David Lumb +1
We present the follow-up of two galaxy clusters from the Bright and Southern SHARC surveys observed with the XMM-Newton satellite. We studied the galaxy cluster RX J1120.1+4318 whi…
Strongly absorbed quiescent X-ray emission from the X-ray transient XTE J0421+56
L. Boirin, A. N. Parmar, D. Lumb +2
We have observed the soft X-ray transient XTE J0421+56 in quiescence with XMM-Newton. The observed spectrum is highly unusual being dominated by a broad feature at 6.5 keV and can…
MUSICOS 1998: Optical and X-rays Observations of Flares on the RS CVn Binary HR 1099
D. Garcia-Alvarez, B. H. Foing, D. Montes +2
We present simultaneous and continuous observations of H_alpha, H_beta, NaI D_1, D_2 and HeI D_3 lines of the chromospherically active binary HR 1099. We have observed HR 1099 for…
MUSICOS 1998: Observations of Rotational Modulation and Flares on the RS CVn Binary HR 1099
D. Garcia-Alvarez, B. H. Foing, D. Montes +2
We present simultaneous and continuous observations of H_alpha, H_beta, NaI D_1, D_2, HeI D_3 and CaII H & K lines of the chromospherically active binary HR 1099. We have observed…
