The deep XMM-Newton Survey of M 31

H. Stiele, W. Pietsch, F. Haberl +5

Aims. M 31 has been completely imaged for the first time obtaining a luminosity lower limit ~10^35 erg s-1 in the 0.2-4.5 keV band. Our XMM-Newton EPIC survey combines archival obs…

NGC 300 X-1 is a Wolf-Rayet/Black-Hole binary

P. A. Crowther, R. Barnard, S. Carpano +3

We present VLT/FORS2 time-series spectroscopy of the Wolf-Rayet star #41 in the Sculptor group galaxy NGC 300. We confirm a physical association with NGC 300 X-1, since radial velo…

In-depth studies of the NGC 253 ULXs with XMM-Newton: remarkable variability in ULX1, and evidence for extended coronae

R. Barnard

We examined the variability of three ultra-luminous X-ray sources (ULXs) in the 2003, 110 ks XMM-Newton observation of NGC253. Remarkably, we discovered ULX1 to be three times more…

A second black hole candidate in a M31 globular cluster is identified with XMM-Newton

R. Barnard, U. Kolb

We use arguments developed in previous work to identify a second black hole candidate associated with a M31 globular cluster, Bo 144, on the basis of X-ray spectral and timing prop…

New XMM-Newton analysis of three bright X-ray sources in M31 globular clusters, including a new black hole candidate

R. Barnard, H. Stiele, D. Hatzidimitriou +6

We present detailed analysis of three globular cluster X-ray sources in the XMM-Newton extended survey of M31. The X-ray counterpart to the M31 globular cluster Bo 45 (XBo 45) was…

NGC300 X-1 and IC10 X-1: a new breed of black hole binary?

R. Barnard, J. S. Clark, U. C. Kolb

[ABRIDGED] IC10 X-1 has recently been confirmed as a black hole (BH) + Wolf-Rayet (WR) X-ray binary, and NGC300 X-1 is thought to be. IC10 X-1 and NGC300 X-1 have similar X-ray pro…
