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…
Low-power radio galaxy environments in the Subaru/XMM-Newton Deep Field at z~0.5
J. E. Geach, C. Simpson, S. Rawlings +2
We present multi-object spectroscopy of galaxies in the immediate (Mpc-scale) environments of four low-power (L_1.4 GHz < 10^25 W/Hz) radio galaxies at z~0.5, selected from the Sub…
Analysis of the XMM-Newton EPIC Background: Production of Background Maps and Event Files
A. M. Read
XMM-Newton background maps for the 3 EPIC instruments in their different instrument/mode/filter combinations and in several energy bands have been constructed using a superposition…
