Three X-ray transients in M31 observed with Swift

R. Voss, W. Pietsch, F. Haberl +5

The purpose of this study is to find transient X-ray sources in M31, and to investigate and classify their nature. Three X-ray transients were observed with Swift. For each of the…

Discovery of the progenitor of the type Ia supernova 2007on

Rasmus Voss, Gijs Nelemans

Type Ia supernovae are exploding stars that are used to measure the accelerated expansion of the Universe and are responsible for most of the iron ever produced. Although there is…

Limits on the X-ray and optical luminosity of the progenitor of the type Ia supernova SN2007sr

Gijs Nelemans, Rasmus Voss, Gijs Roelofs +1

We present HST/WFPC2, GALEX and Chandra observations of the position of the type Ia supernova SN2007sr in the Antennae galaxies, taken before the explosion. No source is found in a…

On the detection of the progenitor of the type Ia supernova 2007on

Gijs Roelofs, Cees Bassa, Rasmus Voss +1

We present new Chandra X-ray observations and detailed astrometry of the field of the type Ia supernova 2007on, for which the detection of a likely progenitor in archival Chandra d…

The dynamical formation of LMXBs in dense stellar environments: globular clusters and the inner bulge of M31

Rasmus Voss, Marat Gilfanov

The radial distribution of luminous L_X>10^{36} erg/s X-ray point sources in the bulge of M31 is investigated using archival Chandra observations. We find a significant increase of…

A study of the population of LMXBs in the bulge of M31

Rasmus Voss, Marat Gilfanov

The purpose of this study is to explore the population of X-ray point sources in the bulge of M31, with the primary goal to contrast properties of various subpopulations, such as p…
