Detection of magnetic field in the B2 star Oph A with ESO FORS2
I. Pillitteri, L. Fossati, N. Castro Rodriguez +2
Circumstantial evidence suggests that magnetism and enhanced X-ray emission are likely correlated in early B-type stars: similar fractions of them ( 10 %) are strong and hard…
XMM-Newton imaging of V1818 Ori: a young stellar group on the eastern edge of the Kappa Ori ring
I. Pillitteri, S. J. Wolk, S. T. Megeath
We present the results of a 40 ks XMM-Newton observation centered on the variable star V1818 Ori. Using a combination of the XMM-Newton and AllWISE catalog data, we identify a grou…
The ARIEL Mission Reference Sample
Tiziano Zingales, Giovanna Tinetti, Ignazio Pillitteri +3
The ARIEL (Atmospheric Remote-sensing Exoplanet Large-survey) mission concept is one of the three M4 mission candidates selected by the European Space Agency (ESA) for a Phase A st…
The early B-type star Rho Oph A is an X-ray lighthouse
Ignazio Pillitteri, Scott J. Wolk, Fabio Reale +1
We present the results of a 140 ks XMM-Newton observation of the B2 star Ophiuchi A. The star has exhibited strong X-ray variability: a cusp-shaped increase of rate, similar to…
X-ray survey of the North-America and Pelican star-forming complex (NGC7000/IC5070)
Francesco Damiani, Ignazio Pillitteri, Loredana Prisinzano
We present the first extensive X-ray study of the North-America and Pelican star-forming region (NGC7000/IC5070), with the aim of finding and characterizing its young stellar popul…
