Blazing trails: Microquasars as head-tail sources and the seeding of magnetized plasma into the ISM
S. Heinz, H. J. Grimm, R. A. Sunyaev +1
We discuss the dynamics of microquasar jets in the interstellar medium, with specific focus on the effects of the X-ray binaries' space velocity with respect to the local Galactic…
Properties of the Galactic population of cataclysmic variables in hard X-rays
M. Revnivtsev, S. Sazonov, R. Krivonos +2
We measure the spatial distribution and hard X-ray luminosity function of cataclysmic variables (CVs) using the INTEGRAL all-sky survey in the 17-60 keV energy band. The vast major…
GRB070610 : A Curious Galactic Transient
M. M. Kasliwal, S. B. Cenko, S. R. Kulkarni +23
GRB 070610 is a typical high-energy event with a duration of 5s.Yet within the burst localization we detect a highly unusual X-ray and optical transient, SwiftJ195509.6+261406. We…
Hard X-ray emission of the Earth's atmosphere: Monte Carlo simulations
S. Sazonov, E. Churazov, R. Sunyaev +1
We perform Monte Carlo simulations of cosmic ray-induced hard X-ray radiation from the Earth's atmosphere. We find that the shape of the spectrum emergent from the atmosphere in th…
V0332+53 in the outburst of 2004--2005: luminosity dependence of the cyclotron line and pulse profile
S. S. Tsygankov, A. A. Lutovinov, E. M. Churazov +1
We present results of observations of the transient X-ray pulsar V0332+53 performed during a very powerful outburst in Dec, 2004 -- Feb, 2005 with the INTEGRAL and RXTE observatori…
X-ray luminosity function of faint point sources in the Milky Way
S. Sazonov, M. Revnivtsev, M. Gilfanov +2
We assess the contribution to the X-ray (above 2 keV) luminosity of the Milky Way from different classes of low-mass binary systems and single stars. We begin by using the RXTE Sle…
