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…
First Results from the XMM-Newton Slew Survey
Andrew Read, Richard Saxton, Pilar Esquej +2
We have attempted to analyse all the available data taken by XMM-Newton as it slews between targets. This slew survey, the resultant source catalogue and the analysis procedures us…
