Probing stellar winds and accretion physics in high-mass X-ray binaries and ultra-luminous X-ray sources with LOFT
M. Orlandini, V. Doroshenko, L. Zampieri +28
This is a White Paper in support of the mission concept of the Large Observatory for X-ray Timing (LOFT), proposed as a medium-sized ESA mission. We discuss the potential of LOFT f…
A new candidate Wolf-Rayet X-ray binary in NGC 253
Thomas J. Maccarone, Bret D. Lehmer, J. C. Leyder +5
We have discovered a persistent, but highly variable X-ray source in the nearby starburst galaxy NGC 253. The source varies at the level of a factor of about 5 in count rate on tim…
NuSTAR and Chandra Insight into the Nature of the 3-40 keV Nuclear Emission in NGC 253
B. D. Lehmer, D. R. Wik, A. E. Hornschemeier +16
We present results from three nearly simultaneous NuSTAR and Chandra monitoring observations between 2012 Sep 2 and 2012 Nov 16 of local star-forming galaxy NGC 253. The 3-40 keV N…
XMM-Newton observations of the supergiant fast X-ray transients XTEJ1739-302, IGRJ08408-4503 and IGRJ18410-0535
E. Bozzo, C. Ferrigno, J. C. Leyder +5
We report here on the XMM-Newton observations of the three supergiant fast X-ray transients (SFXT) XTE J1739-302, IGRJ08408-4503, and IGRJ18410-0535. For the latter source we only…
Hard X-ray identification of Eta Carinae and steadiness close to periastron
Jean-Christophe Leyder, Roland Walter, Gregor Rauw
Context: The colliding-wind binary Eta Car exhibits soft X-ray thermal emission that varies strongly around periastron, and non-thermal emission seen in hard X-rays and gamma-rays.…
The supergiant fast X-ray transients XTE J1739-302 and IGR J08408-4503 in quiescence with XMM-Newton
E. Bozzo, L. Stella, C. Ferrigno +5
Context. Supergiant fast X-ray transients are a subclass of high mass X-ray binaries that host a neutron star accreting mass from the wind of its OB supergiant companion. They are…
