Discovery of periodic dips in the brightest hard X-ray source of M31 with EXTraS
M. Marelli, A. Tiengo, A. De Luca +9
We performed a search for eclipsing and dipping sources in the archive of the EXTraS project - a systematic characterization of the temporal behaviour of XMM-Newton point sources.…
Large Binocular Telescope observations of PSR J2043+2740
V. Testa, R. P. Mignani, N. Rea +5
We present the results of deep optical imaging of the radio/-ray pulsar PSR J2043+2740, obtained with the Large Binocular Telescope (LBT). With a characteristic age of 1.2 Myr,…
A systematic analysis of the XMM-Newton background: IV. Origin of the unfocused and focused components
F. Gastaldello, S. Ghizzardi, M. Marelli +6
We show the results obtained in the FP7 European program EXTraS and in the ESA R&D ATHENA activity AREMBES aimed at a deeper understanding of the XMM-Newton background to better de…
A systematic analysis of the XMM-Newton background: III. Impact of the magnetospheric environment
Simona Ghizzardi, Martino Marelli, David Salvetti +6
A detailed characterization of the particle induced background is fundamental for many of the scientific objectives of the Athena X-ray telescope, thus an adequate knowledge of the…
A Systematic Analysis of the XMM-Newton Background: II. Properties of the in-Field-Of-View Excess Component
D. Salvetti, M. Marelli, F. Gastaldello +6
We present an accurate characterization of the particle background behaviour on XMM-Newton based on the entire EPIC archive. This corresponds to the largest EPIC data set ever exam…
A Systematic Analysis of the XMM-Newton Background: I. Dataset and Extraction Procedures
Martino Marelli, David Salvetti, Fabio Gastaldello +6
XMM-Newton is the direct precursor of the future ESA ATHENA mission. A study of its particle-induced background provides therefore significant insight for the ATHENA mission design…
