Magnesium and silicon in interstellar dust: an X-ray overview
D. Rogantini, E. Costantini, S. T. Zeegers +5
The dense Galactic environment is a large reservoir of interstellar dust. Therefore, this region represents a perfect laboratory to study the properties of the cosmic dust grains.…
X-ray extinction from interstellar dust: Prospects of observing carbon, sulfur and other trace elements
E. Costantini, S. T. Zeegers, D. Rogantini +3
We present a study on the prospects of observing carbon, sulfur, and other lower abundance elements (namely Al, Ca, Ti and Ni) present in the interstellar medium using future X-ray…
Effective area calibration of the Reflection Grating Spectrometers of XMM-Newton. I. X-ray spectroscopy of the Crab nebula
J. S. Kaastra, C. P. de Vries, E. Costantini +1
The Crab nebula and pulsar have been widely used as a calibration source for X-ray instruments. The in-flight effective area calibration of the Reflection Grating Spectrometers (RG…
Physical properties of amorphous solid interstellar material from X-ray absorption spectroscopy of Sco X-1
C. P. de Vries E. Costantini
High quality, high resolution X-ray spectra were obtained of Sco X-1 with the Reflection Grating Spectrometer (RGS) on board the XMM-Newton satellite. The spectrum around the Oxyge…
Status of the XMM-Newton cross-calibration with SASv6.5.0
M. Stuhlinger, B. Altieri, D. Baskill +16
Further achievements of the XMM-Newton cross-calibration - XMM internal as well as with other X-ray missions - are presented. We explain the major changes in the new version SASv6.…
The interstellar oxygen-K absorption edge as observed by XMM-Newton
C. P. de Vries, J. W. den Herder, J. S. Kaastra F. B. Paerels +2
High resolution X-ray spectra of the Reflection Grating Spectrometer (RGS) on board the XMM satellite are used to resolve the oxygen K absorption edge. By combining spectra of low…
