CTI history of the EPIC pn camera
K. Dennerl, U. G. Briel, M. J. Freyberg +3
The pn camera of EPIC is inherently robust against radiation damage effects. Nevertheless, the knowledge of charge transfer inefficiency (CTI) of the pn camera is crucial for obtai…
Spectral response of the EPIC-pn detector: basic dependences
F. Haberl, U. G. Briel, K. Dennerl +1
One of the three cameras behind the X-ray telescopes on board XMM-Newton is equipped with a pn CCD detector. Here the current status of the pn spectral response calibration is summ…
The ROSAT All-Sky Survey Bright Source Catalogue
Wolfgang Voges, Bernd Aschenbach, Thomas Boller +16
We present the ROSAT All-Sky Survey Bright Source Catalogue (RASS-BSC, revision 1RXS) derived from the all-sky survey performed during the first half year (1990/91) of the ROSAT mi…
An X-ray Temperature Map of Coma
Ulrich G. Briel, J. Patrick Henry
We present an X-ray temperature map of the Coma cluster of galaxies obtained with the ROSAT PSPC. As expected from the X-ray surface brightness distribution the intracluster gas of…
Discovery of a Large Gravitational Arc in the X-ray Cluster A2280
I. M. Gioia, J. P. Henry, G. A. Luppino +6
This Letter presents the serendipitous discovery of a large arc in an X-ray selected cluster detected in the Rosat North Ecliptic Pole (NEP) survey. The cluster, associated with Ab…
