Testing the Reliability of Cluster Mass Indicators with a Systematics Limited Dataset

Adrienne M. Juett, David S. Davis, Richard Mushotzky

We present the mass-X-ray observable scaling relationships for clusters of galaxies using the XMM-Newton cluster catalog of Snowden et al. Our results are roughly consistent with p…

Luminosity functions of LMXBs in Centaurus A: globular clusters versus the field

R. Voss, M. Gilfanov, G. R. Sivakoff +16

We study the X-ray luminosity function (XLF) of low mass X-ray binaries (LMXB) in the nearby early-type galaxy Centaurus A, concentrating primarily on two aspects of binary populat…

The Behavior of Matter under Extreme Conditions

F. Paerels, M. Mendez, M. Agueros +29

The cores of neutron stars harbor the highest matter densities known to occur in nature, up to several times the densities in atomic nuclei. Similarly, magnetic field strengths can…

Comparing GC and Field LMXBs in Elliptical Galaxies with deep Chandra and Hubble data

D. -W. Kim, G. Fabbiano, N. J. Brassington +15

(abridged) We present a statistical study of the low-mass X-ray binary (LMXB) populations of three nearby, old elliptical galaxies: NGC 3379, NGC 4278, and NGC 4697. With a cumulat…

High-energy particle acceleration at the radio-lobe shock of Centaurus A

J. H. Croston, R. P. Kraft, M. J. Hardcastle +19

We present new results on the shock around the southwest radio lobe of Centaurus A using data from the Chandra Very Large Programme observations. The X-ray spectrum of the emission…

Disk Dominated States of 4U 1957+11: Chandra, XMM, and RXTE Observations of Ostensibly the Most Rapidly Spinning Galactic Black Hole

Michael A. Nowak, Adrienne Juett, Jeroen Homan +4

We present simultaneous Chandra-HETG and RXTE observations of a moderate flux `soft state' of the black hole candidate 4U1957+11. These spectra, having a minimally discernible hard…
