XMM-Newton observations of X-ray emission from Jupiter

G. Branduardi-Raymont, A. Bhardwaj, R. F. Elsner +6

We present the results of two XMM-Newton observations of Jupiter carried out in 2003 for 100 and 250 ks (or 3 and 7 planet rotations) respectively. X-ray images from the EPIC CCD c…

Chandra observations of the globular cluster M54

Gavin Ramsay, Kinwah Wu

We have carried out a Chandra observation of the globular cluster M54. We detected 7 sources located within the half-mass radius of M54, at a flux limit of 1.5x10^-15 erg/s/cm in t…

XMM-Newton observations of AM CVn binaries

Gavin Ramsay, Pasi Hakala, Tom Marsh +3

We present the results of XMM-Newton observations of four AM CVn systems -- AM CVn, CR Boo, HP Lib and GP Com. Their light curves show very different characteristics. The X-ray lig…

Solar Control on Jupiter's Equatorial X-ray Emissions: 26-29 November 2003 XMM-Newton Observation

Anil Bhardwaj, Graziella Branduardi-Raymont, Ronald F. Elsner +6

During November 26-29, 2003 XMM-Newton observed soft (0.2-2 keV) X-ray emission from Jupiter for 69 hours. The low-latitude X-ray disk emission of Jupiter is observed to be almost…

Two-temperature accretion flows in magnetic cataclysmic variables: Structures of post-shock emission regions and X-ray spectroscopy

Curtis Saxton, Kinwah Wu, Mark Cropper +1

We use a two-temperature hydrodynamical formulation to determine the temperature and density structures of the post-shock accretion flows in magnetic cataclysmic variables (mCVs) a…

XMM-Newton EPIC and OM Observations of Her X-1 over the 35 d Beat Period and an Anomalous Low State

S. Zane, G. Ramsay, M. A. Jimenez-Garate +4

We present the results of a series of XMM-Newton EPIC and OM observations of Her X-1, spread over a wide range of the 35 d precession period. We confirm that the spin modulation of…

RApid Temporal Survey - RATS I: Overview and first results

Gavin Ramsay, Pasi Hakala

We present the aim and first results of the RApid Temporal Survey (RATS) made using the Wide Field Camera on the Isaac Newton Telescope. Our initial survey covers 3 square degrees,…

High-speed, energy-resolved, STJ observations of the AM Her system V2301 Oph

A. P. Reynolds, G. Ramsay, J. H. J. de Bruijne +4

We present high time-resolution optical energy-resolved photometry of the eclipsing cataclysmic variable V2301 Oph made using the ESA S-Cam detector, an array of photon counting su…
