Evolution of tidal disruption candidates discovered by XMM-Newton
P. Esquej, R. D. Saxton, S. Komossa +8
It has been demonstrated that active galactic nuclei are powered by gas accretion onto supermassive black holes located at their centres. The paradigm that the nuclei of inactive g…
XMM-Newton observations of the diffuse X-ray emission in the starburst galaxy NGC 253
M. Bauer, W. Pietsch, G. Trinchieri +4
Aims: We present a study of the diffuse X-ray emission in the halo and the disc of the starburst galaxy NGC 253. Methods: After removing point-like sources, we analysed XMM-Newton…
The XMM-LSS catalogue: X-ray sources and associated optical data. Version I
M. Pierre, L. Chiappetti, F. Pacaud +34
Following the presentation of the XMM-LSS X-ray source detection package by Pacaud et al., we provide the source lists for the first 5.5 surveyed square degrees. The catalogues per…
An XMM-Newton view of M101 - III. Diffuse X-ray emission
R. S. Warwick, L. P. Jenkins, A. M. Read +2
We present a study of the X-ray properties of the nearby face-on Scd spiral galaxy M101 based on recent XMM-Newton observations. In this third and final paper in the present series…
Candidate tidal disruption events from the XMM-Newton Slew Survey
P. Esquej, R. D. Saxton, M. J. Freyberg +4
In recent years, giant amplitude X-ray flares have been observed from a handful of non-active galaxies. The most plausible scenario of these unusual phenomena is tidal disruption o…
The XMM-LSS Survey: A well controlled X-ray cluster sample over the D1 CFHTLS area
M. Pierre, F. Pacaud, P. -A. Duc +24
We present the XMM-LSS cluster catalogue corresponding to the CFHTLS D1 area. The list contains 13 spectroscopically confirmed, X-ray selected galaxy clusters over 0.8 deg2 to a re…
The XMM Large-Scale Structure Survey: An initial sample of galaxy groups and clusters to a redshift z<0.6
J. P. Willis, F. Pacaud, I. Valtchanov +14
We present X-ray and optical spectroscopic observations of twelve galaxy groups and clusters identified within the XMM Large-Scale Structure (LSS) survey. Groups and clusters are s…
X-ray flares from the ultra-luminous X-ray source in NGC 5408
R. Soria, C. Motch, A. M. Read +1
We have studied an ultra-luminous X-ray source (ULX) in the dwarf galaxy NGC 5408 with a series of XMM-Newton observations, between 2001 July and 2003 January. We find that its X-r…
An XMM-Newton observation of the galaxy group MKW 4
E. O'Sullivan, J. M. Vrtilek, A. M. Read +2
We present an X-ray study of the galaxy group or poor cluster MKW 4. Working with XMM data we examine the distribution and properties of the hot gas which makes up the group halo.…
The central region of M31 observed with XMM-Newton. II. Variability of the individual sources
J. P. Osborne, K. N. Borozdin, S. P. Trudolyubov +13
We present the results of a study of the variability of X-ray sources in the central 30' of the nearby Andromeda Galaxy (M31) based on XMM Performance Verification observations. Tw…
ROSAT PSPC observations of nearby spiral galaxies - II. Statistical properties
A. M. Read, T. J. Ponman
We present a statistical analysis of the largest X-ray survey of nearby spiral galaxies in which diffuse emission has been separated from discrete source contributions. Regression…
The second ROSAT PSPC survey of M31 and the complete ROSAT PSPC source list
R. Supper, G. Hasinger, W. H. G. Lewin +5
This paper reports the results of the analysis of the second ROSAT PSPC survey of M31 performed in summer 1992. We compare our results with those of the first survey. Within the ~1…
Radio jets and diffuse X-ray emission around the peculiar galaxy pair ESO 295-IG022
A. M. Read, M. D. Filipovic, W. Pietsch +1
We report Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) radio-continuum and ROSAT PSPC X-ray observations of the region surrounding the peculiar galaxy pair ESO 295-IG022, lying at the…
The XMM-Newton Serendipitous Survey I. The role of XMM-Newton Survey Science Centre
M. G. Watson
This paper describes the performance of XMM-Newton for serendipitous surveys and summarises the scope and potential of the XMM-Newton Serendipitous Survey. The role of the Survey S…
The Extended X-ray Halo of the Crab-like SNR G21.5-0.9
R. S. Warwick, J-P. Bernard, F. Bocchino +12
Recent XMM-Newton observations reveal an extended (150") low-surface brightness X-ray halo in the supernova remnant G21.5-0.9. The near circular symmetry, the lack of any limb brig…
XMM-Newton survey of the low-metallicity open cluster NGC 2516
S. Sciortino, G. Micela, F. Damiani +8
We present the first results of an XMM-Newton EPIC survey of NGC 2516, a southern low-metallicity open cluster with an age close to the Pleiades. The attained limiting sensitivity…
