Effective area calibration of the Reflection Grating Spectrometers of XMM-Newton. I. X-ray spectroscopy of the Crab nebula
J. S. Kaastra, C. P. de Vries, E. Costantini +1
The Crab nebula and pulsar have been widely used as a calibration source for X-ray instruments. The in-flight effective area calibration of the Reflection Grating Spectrometers (RG…
Physical properties of amorphous solid interstellar material from X-ray absorption spectroscopy of Sco X-1
C. P. de Vries E. Costantini
High quality, high resolution X-ray spectra were obtained of Sco X-1 with the Reflection Grating Spectrometer (RGS) on board the XMM-Newton satellite. The spectrum around the Oxyge…
Absorption and scattering by interstellar dust: XMM-Newton observation of Cyg X-2
E. Costantini, M. J. Freyberg, P. Predehl
We present results of the XMM-Newton observation on the bright X-ray binary Cyg X-2. In our analysis we focus upon the absorption and scattering of the X-ray emission by interstell…
X-ray/UV campaign on the Mrk 279 outflow: density diagnostics in Active Galactic Nuclei using O V K-shell absorption lines
J. S. Kaastra, A. J. J. Raassen, R. Mewe +6
One of the main problems in modeling the ionised outflows in Active Galactic Nuclei is the unknown distance of the outflowing wind to the central source. Only if the density is kno…
