An Ultrasoft X-ray Flare from 3XMM J152130.7+074916: a Tidal Disruption Event Candidate
Dacheng Lin, Peter W. Maksym, Jimmy A. Irwin +6
We report on the discovery of an ultrasoft X-ray transient source, 3XMM J152130.7+074916. It was serendipitously detected in an XMM-Newton observation on 2000 August 23, and its lo…
A test of the nature of the Fe K Line in the neutron star low-mass X-ray binary Serpens X-1
Chia-Ying Chiang, Edward M. Cackett, Jon M. Miller +12
Broad Fe K emission lines have been widely observed in the X-ray spectra of black hole systems, and in neutron star systems as well. The intrinsically narrow Fe K fluorescent line…
The Megasecond Chandra X-Ray Visionary Project Observation of NGC 3115 (II): properties of point sources
Dacheng Lin, Jimmy A. Irwin, Ka-wah Wong +7
We have carried out an in-depth study of low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) detected in the nearby lenticular galaxy NGC 3115, using the Megasecond Chandra X-Ray Visionary Project obs…
The Megasecond Chandra X-Ray Visionary Project Observation of NGC 3115 (III): luminosity functions of LMXBs and dependence on stellar environments
Dacheng Lin, Jimmy A. Irwin, Ka-wah Wong +7
We have studied the X-ray luminosity function (XLF) of low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) in the nearby lenticular galaxy NGC 3115, using the Megasecond Chandra X-Ray Visionary Projec…
The XMM-Newton serendipitous survey. VII. The third XMM-Newton serendipitous source catalogue
S. R. Rosen, N. A. Webb, M. G. Watson +37
Thanks to the large collecting area (3 x ~1500 cm at 1.5 keV) and wide field of view (30' across in full field mode) of the X-ray cameras on board the European Space Agency X-r…
