XIAO: a soft X-ray telescope for the SVOM Mission
S. Mereghetti, A. De Luca, M. Fiorini +23
The study of Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) is a key field to expand our understanding of several astrophysical and cosmological phenomena. SVOM is a Chinese-French Mission which will per…
Multiwavelength Study Of Two Unidentified Gamma-ray Sources
Nicola La Palombara, Patrizia Caraveo, Roberto Mignani +3
Most counterparts of the identified low-latitude gamma-ray sources are Isolated Neutron Stars (INSs). They are characterized by an extremely high value of the X/optical flux ratio,…
Timing analysis of the core of the Crab-like SNR G21.5-0.9
N. La Palombara, S. Mereghetti
The Crab-like SNR G21.5-0.9 was observed in the X-ray band (0.5-10 keV) by the XMM-Newton satellite for over 100 ks. The large effective area of the EPIC instrument has allowed us…
The central region of M31 observed with XMM-Newton. II. Variability of the individual sources
J. P. Osborne, K. N. Borozdin, S. P. Trudolyubov +13
We present the results of a study of the variability of X-ray sources in the central 30' of the nearby Andromeda Galaxy (M31) based on XMM Performance Verification observations. Tw…
The European Photon Imaging Camera on XMM-Newton: The MOS Cameras
M. J. L. Turner, A. Abbey, M. Arnaud
The EPIC focal plane imaging spectrometers on XMM-Newton use CCDs to record the images and spectra of celestial X-ray sources focused by the three X-ray mirrors. There is one camer…
The Extended X-ray Halo of the Crab-like SNR G21.5-0.9
R. S. Warwick, J-P. Bernard, F. Bocchino +12
Recent XMM-Newton observations reveal an extended (150") low-surface brightness X-ray halo in the supernova remnant G21.5-0.9. The near circular symmetry, the lack of any limb brig…
XMM-Newton First-Light Observations of the Hickson Galaxy Group 16
M. J. L. Turner, J. N. Reeves, T. J. Ponman +7
This paper presents the XMM-Newton first-light observations of the Hickson-16 compact group of galaxies. Groups are possibly the oldest large-scale structures in the Universe, pre-…
