The O VII X-ray forest toward Markarian 421: Consistency between XMM-Newton and Chandra
J. S. Kaastra, N. Werner, J. W. A. den Herder +4
Recently the first detections of highly ionised gas associated with two Warm-Hot Intergalactic Medium (WHIM) filaments have been reported. The evidence is based on X-ray absorption…
XMM-Newton discovery of O VII emission from warm gas in clusters of galaxies
J. S. Kaastra, R. Lieu, T. Tamura +2
XMM-Newton recently discovered O VII line emission from ~2 million K gas near the outer parts of several clusters of galaxies. This emission is attributed to the Warm-Hot Intergala…
XMM-Newton EPIC observations of Her X-1
Gavin Ramsay, Silvia Zane, Mario Jimenez-Garate +2
We present spin-resolved X-ray data of the neutron star binary Her X-1 taken using the EPIC detectors on XMM-Newton. The data were taken at three distinct epochs through the 35 day…
High Resolution Soft X-ray Spectroscopy of M87 with the Reflection Grating Spectrometers on XMM-Newton
I. Sakelliou, J. R. Peterson, T. Tamura +11
We present high-resolution X-ray spectroscopic observations of M87 with the Reflection Grating Spectrometers on XMM-Newton. We detect strong K-shell line emission from N, O, Ne, Mg…
High-Resolution X-ray Spectroscopy of Hercules X-1 with the XMM-Newton RGS: CNO Element Abundance Measurements and Density Diagnostics of a Photoionized Plasma
M. A. Jimenez-Garate, C. J. Hailey, J. W. den Herder +2
We analyze the high-resolution X-ray spectrum of Hercules X-1, an intermediate-mass X-ray binary, which was observed with the XMM-Newton Reflection Grating Spectrometer. We measure…
Can a Dusty Warm Absorber Model Reproduce the Soft X-ray Spectra of MCG-6-30-15 and Mrk 766?
M. Sako, S. M. Kahn, G. Branduardi-Raymont +8
XMM-Newton RGS spectra of MCG-6-30-15 and Mrk 766 exhibit complex discrete structure, which was interpreted in a paper by Branduardi-Raymont et al. (2001) as evidence for the exist…
A High Resolution Spectroscopic Observation of CAL 83 with XMM-Newton/RGS
Frits Paerels, Andrew P. Rasmussen, H. W. Hartmann +4
We present the first high resolution photospheric X-ray spectrum of a Supersoft X-ray Source, the famous CAL~83 in the Large Magellanic Cloud. The spectrum was obtained with the Re…
First Light Measurements with the XMM-Newton Reflection Grating Spectrometers: Evidence for an Inverse First Ionisation Potential Effect and Anomalous Ne A bundance in the Coronae of HR 1099
A. C. Brinkman, E. Behar, M. Guedel +15
The RS CVn binary system HR 1099 was extensively observed by the XMM-Newton observatory in February 2000 as its first-light target. A total of 570 ks of exposure time was accumulat…
High-Resolution spectroscopy of the low-mass X-ray binary EXO 0748-67
J. Cottam, S. M. Kahn, A. C. Brinkman +2
We present initial results from observations of the low-mass X-ray binary EXO 0748-67 with the Reflection Grating Spectrometer on board the XMM-Newton Observatory. The spectra exhi…
