An extremely luminous X-ray outburst at the birth of a supernova
A. M. Soderberg, E. Berger, K. L. Page +40
Massive stars end their short lives in spectacular explosions, supernovae, that synthesize new elements and drive galaxy evolution. Throughout history supernovae were discovered ch…
Swift and Chandra Detections of Supernova 2006jc: Evidence for Interaction of the Supernova Shock with a Circumstellar Shell
S. Immler, M. Modjaz, W. Landsman +20
The peculiar Type Ib supernova (SN) 2006jc has been observed with the UV/Optical Telescope (UVOT) and X-Ray Telescope (XRT) on board the Swift observatory over a period of 19 to 18…
A Study of the Type Ia/IIn Supernova 2005gj from X-ray to the Infrared: Paper I
J. L. Prieto, P. M. Garnavich, M. M. Phillips +53
We present extensive ugrizYHJK photometry and optical spectroscopy of SN 2005gj obtained by the SDSS-II and CSP Supernova Projects, which give excellent coverage during the first 1…
Resolving the Composite Fe K-alpha Emission Line in the Galactic Black Hole Cygnus X-1 with Chandra
J. M. Miller, A. C. Fabian, R. Wijnands +8
We observed the Galactic black hole Cygnus X-1 with the Chandra High Energy Transmission Grating Spectrometer for 30 kiloseconds on 4 January, 2001. The source was in an intermedia…
Identification of the optical and quiescent counterparts to the bright X-ray transient in NGC 6440
J. J. M. in 't Zand, M. H. van Kerkwijk, D. Pooley +3
After 3 years of quiescence, the globular cluster NGC 6440 exhibited a bright transient X-ray source turning on in August 2001, as noted with the RXTE All-Sky Monitor. We carried o…
Chandra Observation of the Globular Cluster NGC 6440 and the Nature of Cluster X-ray Luminosity Functions
David Pooley, Walter H. G. Lewin, Frank Verbunt +7
As part of our campaign to determine the nature of the various source populations of the low-luminosity globular cluster X-ray sources, we have obtained a Chandra X-ray Observatory…
Optical Identification of Multiple Faint X-ray Sources in the Globular Cluster NGC 6752: Evidence for Numerous Cataclysmic Variables
D. Pooley, W. H. G. Lewin, L. Homer +8
We report on the Chandra ACIS-S3 imaging observation of the globular cluster NGC 6752. We detect 6 X-ray sources within the 10.5" core radius and 13 more within the 115" half-mass…
XMM-Newton Spectroscopy of the Galactic Microquasar GRS 1758-258 in the Peculiar Off/Soft State
J. M. Miller, R. Wijnands, P. M. Rodriguez-Pascual +5
We report on an XMM-Newton Reflection Grating Spectrometer observation of the black hole candidate and Galactic microquasar GRS 1758-258. The source entered a peculiar "off/soft" s…
High Frequency Quasi-Periodic Oscillations in the 2000 Outburst of the Galactic Microquasar XTE J1550-564
J. M. Miller, R. Wijnands, J. Homan +6
We present an analysis of the high frequency timing properties of the April-May 2000 outburst of the black hole candidate and Galactic microquasar XTE J1550-564, measured with the…
Chandra and RXTE Spectroscopy of the Galactic Microquasar XTE J1550-564 in Outburst
J. M. Miller, H. L. Marshall, R. Wijnands +10
On two occasions, we obtained nearly simultaneous ~ 4 kilosecond snapshot observations of the Galactic black hole and microquasar XTE J1550-564 with Chandra and RXTE near the peak…
Relativistic Iron Emission and Disk Reflection in Galactic Microquasar XTE J1748-288
J. M. Miller, D. W. Fox, T. DiMatteo +5
We report evidence for an Fe K-alpha fluorescence line feature and disk reflection in the Very High, High, and Low State X-ray spectra of the galactic microquasar XTE J1748-288 dur…
