XMM-Newton observations of the polars EV UMa, RX J1002-19 and RX J1007-20
Gavin Ramsay, Mark Cropper
We present XMM-Newton data of three strongly magnetic cataclysmic variables (polars) EV UMa, RX J1002-19 and RX J1007-20. These include the polar with the shortest orbital period (…
XMM-Newton EPIC observations of Her X-1
Gavin Ramsay, Silvia Zane, Mario Jimenez-Garate +2
We present spin-resolved X-ray data of the neutron star binary Her X-1 taken using the EPIC detectors on XMM-Newton. The data were taken at three distinct epochs through the 35 day…
X-ray spectroscopy of Eta Carinae with XMM-Newton
Maurice A. Leutenegger, Steven M. Kahn, Gavin Ramsay
We present XMM-Newton observations of the luminous star Eta Carinae, including a high resolution soft X-ray spectrum of the surrounding nebula obtained with the Reflection Grating…
STJ Observations of the Eclipsing Polar HU Aqr
C. M. Bridge, Mark Cropper, Gavin Ramsay +6
We apply an eclipse mapping technique to observations of the eclipsing magnetic cataclysmic variable HU Aqr. The observations were made with the S-Cam2 Superconducting Tunnel Junct…
X-ray Spectroscopy of the IP PQ Gem
Cynthia H. James, Gavin Ramsay, Mark Cropper +1
Using RXTE and ASCA data, we investigate the roles played by occultation and absorption in the X-ray spin pulse profile of the Intermediate Polar PQ Gem. From the X-ray light curve…
High-Resolution X-ray Spectroscopy of Hercules X-1 with the XMM-Newton RGS: CNO Element Abundance Measurements and Density Diagnostics of a Photoionized Plasma
M. A. Jimenez-Garate, C. J. Hailey, J. W. den Herder +2
We analyze the high-resolution X-ray spectrum of Hercules X-1, an intermediate-mass X-ray binary, which was observed with the XMM-Newton Reflection Grating Spectrometer. We measure…
First X-ray observations of the polar CE Gru
Gavin Ramsay, Mark Cropper
We report the detection of the polar CE Gru in X-rays for the first time. We find evidence for a dip seen in the hard X-ray light curve which we attribute to the accretion stream o…
XMM-Newton observations of the asynchronous polar BY Cam
Gavin Ramsay, Mark Cropper
We report observations of the asynchronous polar BY Cam made using XMM-Newton. We find evidence for two accretion regions which have significantly different spectra. In both region…
XMM-Newton EPIC observations of Her X-1
G. Ramsay, S. Zane, M. A. Jimenez-Garate +2
We present spin-resolved X-ray data of the neutron star binary Her X-1. We find evidence that the Iron line at 6.4 keV originates from the same location as the blackbody X-ray comp…
