A Deep XMM-Newton Survey of M33: Point Source Catalog, Source Detection and Characterization of Overlapping Fields

Benjamin F. Williams, Brian Wold, Frank Haberl +9

We have obtained a deep 8-field XMM-Newton mosaic of M33 covering the galaxy out to the D isophote and beyond to a limiting 0.2--4.5 keV unabsorbed flux of 510$^{-16…

A Spectroscopic Search for High Mass X-ray Binaries in M31

Benjamin F. Williams, Despina Hatzidimitriou, Jerica Green +6

We present new optical spectroscopy of 20 candidate counterparts of 17 X-ray sources in the direction of the M31 disc. By comparing the X-ray catalogue from the XMM-Newton survey o…

X-ray source variability study of the M 31 central field using Chandra HRC-I

F. Hofmann, W. Pietsch, M. Henze +5

[Abridged] The central field of the Andromeda galaxy (M 31) has been monitored, using the Chandra HRC-I detector (about 0.1-10 keV energy range) from 2006 to 2012 with the main aim…

Bright radio emission from an ultraluminous stellar-mass microquasar in M31

Matthew J. Middleton, James C. A. Miller-Jones, Sera Markoff +34

A subset of ultraluminous X-ray sources (those with luminosities < 10^40 erg/s) are thought to be powered by the accretion of gas onto black holes with masses of ~5-20 M_solar, pro…

Multiwavelength study of the newly confirmed supernova remnant MCSNR J0527-7104 in the Large Magellanic Cloud

Patrick J. Kavanagh, Manami Sasaki, Sean D. Points +6

The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) hosts a rich and varied population of supernova remnants (SNRs). Optical, X-ray, and radio observations are required to identify these SNRs, as wel…

Supernova remnants and candidates detected in the XMM-Newton M31 large survey

Manami Sasaki, Wolfgang Pietsch, Frank Haberl +5

We present the analysis of supernova remnants (SNRs) and candidates in M31 identified in the XMM-Newton large programme survey of M31. SNRs are among the bright X-ray sources in a…
