OMCat: Catalogue of Serendipitous Sources Detected with the XMM-Newton Optical Monitor
K. D. Kuntz, Ilana Harrus, Thomas A. McGlynn +2
The Optical Monitor Catalogue of serendipitous sources (OMCat) contains entries for every source detected in the publicly available XMM-Newton Optical Monitor (OM) images taken in…
A Catalog of Galaxy Clusters Observed by XMM-Newton
S. L. Snowden, R. M. Mushotzky, K. D. Kuntz +1
Aims: We present a uniform catalog of the images and radial profiles of the temperature, abundance, and brightness for 70 clusters of galaxies observed by XMM-Newton. Methods: We u…
Chandra ACIS Survey of M33 (ChASeM33): A First Look
Paul P. Plucinsky, Benjamin Williams, Knox S. Long +22
We present an overview of the Chandra ACIS Survey of M33 (ChASeM33): A Deep Survey of the Nearest Face-on Spiral Galaxy. The 1.4 Ms survey covers the galaxy out to $R \approx 18\ar…
An XMM-Newton Observation of the Local Bubble Using a Shadowing Filament in the Southern Galactic Hemisphere
David B. Henley, Robin L. Shelton, K. D. Kuntz
We present an analysis of the X-ray spectrum of the Local Bubble, obtained by simultaneously analyzing spectra from two XMM-Newton pointings on and off an absorbing filament in the…
Suzaku Observations of the Local and Distant Hot ISM
Randall K. Smith, Mark W. Bautz, Richard J. Edgar +18
Suzaku observed the molecular cloud MBM12 and a blank field less than 3 degrees away to separate the local and distant components of the diffuse soft X-ray background. Towards MBM1…
Discovery of an eclipsing X-ray binary with a 32.69 hour period in M101: an analog of Her X-1 or LMC X-4?
Jifeng Liu, Rosanne di Stefano, Jeffrey McClintock +3
We report the discovery of an eclipsing X-ray binary in M101, the first such system to be discovered outside the Local Group. Based on a sequence of 25 Chandra observations that sa…
Hubble Space Telescope Observations of Star Clusters in M101
P. Barmby, K. D. Kuntz, J. P. Huchra +1
Hubble Space Telescope Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) images are used to identify and study star cluster candidates in the nearby spiral galaxy M101. About 3000 round, slightly-…
One-Up On L1: Can X-rays Provide Longer Advanced Warning of Solar Wind Flux Enhancements Than Upstream Monitors?
M. R. Collier, T. E. Moore, S. L. Snowden +1
Observations of strong solar wind proton flux correlations with ROSAT X-ray rates along with high spectral resolution Chandra observations of X-rays from the dark Moon show that so…
G65.2+5.7: A Thermal Composite Supernova Remnant With a Cool Shell
R. L. Shelton, K. D. Kuntz, R. Petre
This paper presents archival ROSAT PSPC observations of the G65.2+5.7 supernova remnant (also known as G65.3+5.7). Little material obscures this remnant and so it was well observed…
Chandra Observations and Models of the Mixed-Morphology Supernova Remnant W44: Global Trends
R. L. Shelton, K. D. Kuntz, R. Petre
As with other mixed morphology remnants, W44's projected center is bright in thermal X-rays. It has an obvious radio shell, but no discernable X-ray shell. X-ray bright knots dot W…
Chandra Observation of Luminous and Ultraluminous X-ray Binaries in M101
K. Mukai, W. D. Pence, S. L. Snowden +1
X-ray binaries in the Milky Way are among the brightest objects on the X-ray sky. With the increasing sensitivity of recent missions, it is now possible to study X-ray binaries in…
The X-ray Structure and Spectrum of the Pulsar Wind Nebula Surrounding PSR B1853+01 in W44
R. Petre, K. D. Kuntz, R. L. Shelton
We present the result of a Chandra ACIS observation of the pulsar PSR B1853+01 and its associated pulsar wind nebula (PWN), embedded within the supernova remnant W44. A hard band A…
Chandra X-ray Sources in M101
W. D. Pence, S. L. Snowden, K. Mukai +1
A deep (98.2 ks) Chandra Cycle-1 observation has revealed a wealth of discrete X-ray sources as well as diffuse emission in the nearby face-on spiral galaxy M101. From this rich da…
Reconsidering the Identification of M101 Hypernova Remnant Candidates
S. L. Snowden, K. Mukai, W. Pence +1
Using a deep Chandra AO-1 observation of the face-on spiral galaxy M101, we examine three of five previously optically-identified X-ray sources which are spatially correlated with…
On the Contribution of Unresolved Galactic Stars to the Diffuse Soft X-ray Background
K. D. Kuntz, S. L. Snowden
Using stellar luminosity functions derived from ROSAT data, the contributions of Galactic stars to the diffuse X-ray background are calculated for ROSAT PSPC energy bands. The mode…
X-Ray Constraints on the Warm_hot Intergalactic Medium
K. D. Kuntz, S. L. Snowden, R. F. Mushotzky
Three observational constraints can be placed on a warm-hot intergalactic medium (WHIM) using \rosat PSPC pointed and survey data, the emission strength, the energy spectrum, and t…
