Exploring Fundamental Particle Acceleration and Loss Processes in Heliophysics through an Orbiting X-ray Instrument in the Jovian System

W. Dunn, G. Berland, E. Roussos +41

Jupiter's magnetosphere is considered to be the most powerful particle accelerator in the Solar System, accelerating electrons from eV to 70 MeV and ions to GeV energies. How elect…

Potential solar axion signatures in X-ray observations with the XMM-Newton observatory

G. W. Fraser, A. M. Read, S. Sembay +2

The soft X-ray flux produced by solar axions in the Earth's magnetic field is evaluated in the context of ESA's XMM-Newton observatory. Recent calculations of the scattering of axi…

Identifying XMM-Newton observations affected by solar wind charge exchange - Part II

J. A. Carter, S. Sembay, A. M. Read

We wished to analyse a sample of observations from the XMM-Newton Science Archive to search for evidence of exospheric solar wind charge exchange (SWCX) emission. We analysed 3012…

A high charge state Coronal Mass Ejection seen through solar wind charge exchange emission as detected by XMM-Newton

J. A Carter, S. Sembay, A. M. Read

We present the analysis of an observation by XMM-Newton that exhibits strongly variable, low-energy diffuse X-ray line emission. We reason that this emission is due to localised so…

Identifying XMM-Newton observations affected by solar wind charge exchange - Part I

J. A. Carter, S. Sembay

We describe a method for identifying XMM-Newton observations that have been affected by Solar Wind Charge Exchange (SWCX) emission and present preliminary results of previously uni…

The XMM-Newton EPIC Background and the production of Background Blank Sky Event Files

J. A. Carter, A. M. Read

We describe in detail the nature of XMM-Newton EPIC background and its various complex components, summarising the new findings of the XMM-Newton EPIC background working group, and…
