A candidate tidal disruption event in the Galaxy cluster Abell 3571
N. Cappelluti, M. Ajello, P. Rebusco +8
Tidal disruption events are possible sources of temporary nuclear activity in galactic nuclei and can be considered as good indicators of the existence of super massive black holes…
Evolution of tidal disruption candidates discovered by XMM-Newton
P. Esquej, R. D. Saxton, S. Komossa +8
It has been demonstrated that active galactic nuclei are powered by gas accretion onto supermassive black holes located at their centres. The paradigm that the nuclei of inactive g…
XMM-Newton slew survey discovery of the nova XMMSL1 J070542.7-381442 (V598 Pup)
A. M. Read, R. D. Saxton, M. A. P. Torres +6
In an attempt to catch new X-ray transients while they are still bright, the data taken by XMM-Newton as it slews between targets is being processed and cross-correlated with other…
The first XMM-Newton slew survey catalogue: XMMSL1
R. D. Saxton, A. M. Read, P. Esquej +3
We report on the production of a large area, shallow, sky survey, from XMM-Newton slews. The great collecting area of the mirrors coupled with the high quantum efficiency of the EP…
Candidate tidal disruption events from the XMM-Newton Slew Survey
P. Esquej, R. D. Saxton, M. J. Freyberg +4
In recent years, giant amplitude X-ray flares have been observed from a handful of non-active galaxies. The most plausible scenario of these unusual phenomena is tidal disruption o…
