First observation of Jupiter by XMM-Newton
G. Branduardi-Raymont, R. F. Elsner, G. R. Gladstone +4
We present the first X-ray observation of Jupiter by XMM-Newton. Images taken with the EPIC cameras show prominent emission, essentially all confined to the 0.2-2.0 keV band, from…
Evidence for Black Hole Spin in GX 339-4: XMM-Newton EPIC-pn and RXTE Spectroscopy of the Very High State
J. M. Miller, A. C. Fabian, C. S. Reynolds +9
We have analyzed spectra of the Galactic black hole GX 339-4 obtained through simultaneous 76 ksec XMM-Newton/EPIC-pn and 10 ksec RXTE observations during a bright phase of its 200…
An XMM-Newton Study of the Hard X-ray Sky
E. Piconcelli, M. Cappi, L. Bassani +2
We report on the spectral properties of a sample of 90 hard X-ray selected serendipitous sources detected in 12 XMM observations with 1<F(2-10)<80 10^(-14) erg/cm2/s. Approximately…
The quest for hot gas in the halo of NGC 1511
M. Dahlem, M. Ehle, F. Jansen +3
XMM-Newton observations of the starburst galaxy NGC 1511 reveal the presence of a previously unknown extended hot gaseous phase of its ISM, which partly extends out of the disk pla…
The X-ray afterglow of GRB 020322
D. Watson, J. N. Reeves, J. P. Osborne +4
The spectrum of the afterglow of GRB 020322 is the highest-quality X-ray spectrum of a GRB afterglow available to date. It was detected by XMM-Newton in an observation starting fif…
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…
