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…

A multi-coloured survey of NGC 253 with XMM-Newton: testing the methods used for creating luminosity functions from low-count data

R. Barnard, L. Shaw Greening, U. Kolb

NGC 253 is a local, star-bursting spiral galaxy with strong X-ray emission from hot gas, as well as many point sources. We have conducted a spectral survey of the X-ray population…

A deep XMM-Newton survey of M 31

H. Stiele, W. Pietsch, F. Haberl

The deep homogeneous survey of the large Local-Group spiral galaxy M 31 is a milestone project for X-ray astronomy, as it allows a detailed X-ray inventory of an archetypal low-sta…

A Multi-coloured survey of NGC 253 with XMM-Newton

R. Barnard, L. Shaw Greening, U. Kolb

There is a large body of work that has used the excellent Chandra observations of nearby galaxies with neglible low mass X-ray binary (LMXB) populations. This has culminated in a `…

Cumulative luminosity functions of the X-ray point source population in M31

L. Shaw Greening, C. Tonkin, R. Barnard +2

We present preliminary results from a detailed analysis of the X-ray point sources in the XMM-Newton survey of M31. These sources are expected to be mostly X-ray binaries. We have…

XMM-Newton reveals ~100 new LMXBs in M31 from variability studies

R. Barnard, L. Shaw Greening, C. Tonkin +2

We have conducted a survey of X-ray sources in XMM-Newton observations of M31, examining their power density spectra (PDS) and spectral energy distributions (SEDs). Our automated s…
